RetroforceGO! not recording this week ... well, kind of photo

Good afternoon, dear listeners. It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you of the fact that your regularly scheduled episode of RetroforceGO! will not be recorded this week. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we have once again found ourselves faced with castmembers being unavailable to appear for various reasons.

That is, with the exception of Chad and me.

Thusly, and because we love you and love doing this show, Chad Concelmo and I will be recording alone tonight, just the two of us. It took us all of perhaps five seconds to decide on what our topic should be, and it's one that is very near and dear to our hearts. What might that be, you ask? Pfft, we're not tellin'. But you can come back tomorrow, same time as always, and find out for yourself. Feel free to leave us a question or two as well, I suppose.

Prepare yourselves. For Tonight, we record "Episode X."

There are a bunch of games that were set in a year ending in X such as Mega Man in the year 20XX and even Earthbound which is set in 199X. What did you make of this? Did you think it was some sort of futuristic time system or just a general identifier for the year, as in, its-whatever-you-want-it-to-be-so-go-nuts? I personally thought it was some sort of future time system, because that seemed like a much more entertaining explanation.

So is this going to be a show about the greatest "X"s in video games? More on X-rated video games? I'm on pins and needles!

Does Chad still consider me a cheap bitch? Also, when's the Lylat Wars/Starwing episode?

Also, I've been hammering bit.trip beat since it came out here last week. Great game or greatest game?

I want to go to Pax this year, and if I see Chad is it okay if I run up to him and give him a high five, a hand shake, and take a picture? That would be epic.

Chad? What do ya say? Can a stranger come bug you with some man love?

Chad, has Rev Anthony's recent attack of appendicitis had any effect on your inevitable volcano showdown?

Hey guys
What games that are considered "Classic" or that everyone you know loves do you find boring, bad, terrible, and why? I played through FF X once and only once, HATE blitzball, will never play it again.

Dude's Night! You could sing Beastie Boys songs. An addition to KMCCs question:
"Do you guys think that a MvC3, with the all rumors, could finally come to fruition?"
Ah, maybe this episode should be called "Episode Y" for extra manliness!

Hey Chad, what do you think about this week's WiiWare name: "Penguins & Friends - Hey! That's My Fish!". Isn't it the best name ever created for a videogame?

If you could produce a child (with the partner of your choice) and infuse it with the DNA of any video game character, who would it be and why? It could be a man, woman, or not even human.

Hello from Berlin, Germany!! I LOVE YOU GUYS, really I do, if I didn't spend my time hopping around from Australia to Germany I would wish to have you as my every day mates. I listen to your show EVERYDAY during work, it sooths my soul to hear talk about the golden age of gaming, listening to Chads boundless enthusiasm tempered by Topher's dry humour, rounded off by Dyson's great hosting skills. Not to forget of course, Collete's love of RPG's and Stella's large knowledge of Japanses gaming. Keep up the brilliant work kid's you've got a life long fan and supporter!!

Now that those pesky ladies and their oestrogen are out of the picture, you guys can let your hair down and let your true emotions show. Let's hear some gossip on them girlies!
Who has the best fashion sense, haircut or personal hygiene?

Sub question; Which member of the retroforcego team is most likely to kill a man or child?

HAPPY (late) BIRTHDAY TOPHER!!! My birthday is May 8, so it is an honor to have a b-day close to you. My question is: if you could go to any videogame character's birthday party who would it be and what would you get them as a present?
P.S- Chad is the awsomest.

Have you ever played a current gen game and thought that it would of been better if it was a retro game?

Thank you for recording, even if it is only the two of you! Every Saturday I have a ritual of walking my dog around a lake I live nearby, and I always listen to RetroforceGo during the trip. Its just not the same walk without your lovely voices! You guys could just read random game instruction manuals and I would be amused!

Because it just you and Chad, I want to know what kind of peril the rest of the crew is in. And what super or retro powers are you guys going to use to defeat the baddies. (maybe put some kick ass music in the back ground.)
If you guys don't want to do that I could always ask...
Chad do you have a favorite kind of Dolphin?
And
Topher is their and good 4 player Dreamcast games?

Why do you think that final fantasy IX is such an underrated game? I think its the back to its roots version, and the one that should have been the true sequel to III (or VI, whatever) which was my favorite in the series, and do you think we will get a good, medieval numeral FF any time soon?.

Hey Topher, I love shmups, but I suck at finishing them because I can't stop looking where my ship is shooting instead of dodging the incoming bullets. How did you learn to not do that? Also, please don't talk about any good games tonight. After listening to past episodes I don't have any more money to buy the awesome games you always talk about (Castlevania, Mega Man, Ikaruga, etc.).

I was wondering: of the 360 and the PS3, which is more in your favor at the moment? I'm going to drop cash on one of them this summer, and I absolutely can't decide.

On the MvC port, would you have allowed the extra space that widescreen allows, even as an extra "Remix" mode deal?

Also, why am I the only one who thinks having Strider hang onto thin air is stupid?

More pressing to the point, why is every thing that Backbone touch as far as porting stuff a complete mess? We have MvC2 having SD sized huds on a HD port, the Megadrive collection missing S3+K and woefuly missing a chance to allow custom soundtracks and thus mixing Sonic 2 and Megaman 9 into a conocopia of Audio and Visual win. What's next, making a mess of the netcode for Gunstar Heroes XBLA?!
