As you may have heard yesterday, we here at the show had some serious recording issues with our Cancun episode. And while we try and maintain a level of quality that you have come to know us for, no amount of editing trickery could make the recording into what I would call "good."

FYI, as a group, we have personal and professional standards that we try and maintain for ourselves when we record, edit, and produce RetroforceGO! Unfortunately, none of those standards could have been met no matter how much time and effort we put into that task.  Because of that, we weren't going to release the show.

But, the episode content itself was too unique to just throw away. Not only were four out of five of the cast members present for the recording (an RFGO! first!), there was also a slew of editors, the illustrious Jim Sterling, and fifteen, give or take, insanely awesome community members present. Each and every one of them participating in the show.

So, because of the uniqueness of the show, and because of the fact that the show is almost 99% about our community, we've decided that the show should be released in a Cblog only format. iTunes and RSS listeners will be receiving a quick .mp3 message that will direct them to my personal community blog where you, if you wish, can DOWNLOAD THE SHOW.

Sincerely,

RetroforceGO!

Also listening to this totally makes me miss the Toys R Us room SO much more! If it was still the same I'd probably still be buying games from there.

Sounds like you guys had fun. Now I am psyched for the next show's haiku and questions. I can't wait to hear what some of you guys get asked.

(almost said radio) i nearly fell over when i saw that vectrex. i was heading to a gasstation to get snacks for a trip and stopped at a rummage sale and picked that up for 25 bucks, games and overlays included. also the quality wasnt bad at all. i was listening while riding my moped and understood every word...totally could of gone out on iTunes.

Oh my God.

Mr. Chad Concelmo, you are no longer my hero. I...I think I'm going to cry.


I don't want to spoil anything for people who haven't listened to it, but god damn that was fucked up.

Totally saying that this show rocked. I almost woke up my roommate laughing. Also, inspired a post in my C-blog relevant to this entry. I could totally relate to so many of those stories.
Torzelan's Avatar
Awesome, awesome show. There really was just the one small part where I couldn't make out what was said but probably could if I tried harder.

Also Chad is only proving that people can in fact change for the better no matter how horrible they were. ;)

Haha, Chad that was an awesome story! Don't feel bad, we've all done insanely stupid things as kids... but that story takes the cake! LoL! I respect you MORE for telling that.
digtastik's Avatar
I hate you all. Actually, I'm just jealous. You guys sounded like you all had a great time.

Chad's story almost got one of those embarrassing unexpected snorting ill-restrained laughs, that inevitably launches a little nasal coagulation on your lip - or further if it really catches you by surprise. So wrong, and so d@mned funny at the same time.

I miss my 7 Eleven and Chuck E Cheese days. Great episode all around.
