Good God. Just look at it. I mean ... look at it. I know I've got a post to write and I should be making proper use of my time right now by telling you that this week's show will be about all the cool retro gaming things happening at this year's E3, but WTF.
I don't know how anybody can pay attention to things like Mega Man 9, Galaga Legions or all the rad new PSN exclusives when Chad Concelmo is standing five feet away in that dinosaur sweater. Part of me wants to hug him and the other part wants to beat him up and take it for myself. However, as you might have heard, I'm nowhere near E3 at the moment, so I'll have to settle for recording a new episode of RetroforceGO! with him, during which you'll probably be able to physically hear the awesome radiating from that f*cking thing.
Hit the comments with your questions and we'll cook up a little something for your iPod tomorrow.

Rev? naw couldn't be, could it? I mean look at the sheets.
Rev don't hate me, hate your sister, this pic was posted on her facebook, it was only a matter of time until it was leaked.
And there better be a picture of the sweater in the actual show post, or I'll be upset.
Oh, and Colette, We'd better get the full story of Iga attacking you with the whips :D
(see my recent c-blog for more..)
(see last RFGO recording blog post for the reason WHY i'm doing this ^_^)
What did you guys think of Nintendo's back-patting conference, do you think it could have been improved had the announced even a single game not aimed at your mum?
the million dollar question i want to know, is a NES cart. version of Mega Man 9 possible? has Capcom told you anything on that front?
also Rev's man eating guard dog's leer strikes dread into my heart.
Also, the Mega Man 9 shirt is a thing of beauty, and I wish I could get my hands on Order of Ecclesia.
I also have no idea who this is directed to, but I am sure it will apply to someone.

I'm pumped!
Topher-I know you LOVE Galaga, how do you feel about Galaga Legions?
did any of you play it? how did it play? Neo-retro at all?
For my question, I was wondering if you guys had tried out Blastworks, and more importantly the editor. The reason I ask, is how awesome would it be to have an editor like that with an old school platformer in mind? For example Mega Man 9 with the ability to create your own levels, bosses, and even game play mechanics. Chad could make his Toy Man he talked about on the Mega Man episode!
Gradius Rebirth? Wow. A new console Castlvania side scroller has got to be around the corner.
Also, I think Hideo Kojima is crazy enough to make a 16-bit, WiiWare Zone of Enders. I'm calling it.
So here's a wannabe panda dog.
Can I have it?
Question: Chad, now that you played Mega Man 9, met Miyamoto, and worn an amazing sweater at E3, what can possibly be next??
Are any of you at RFG looking forward to the new "3-D Action Fighter" (According to Iga) Castlevania game?
Personally I was a bit skeptical when first hearing about it, but my oppinion has shifted to giddy-excitedness after what was shown at E3.
I personally would like to see a brand new NES styled Ninja Gaiden game again. Sure the Xbox versions are hard, but I don't think they're "Nintendo hard".
But enough of that, I just want to know if Chrono Trigger DS is incredible or maybe just the most fascinating thing ever made.
OH, and also if you know if Rhythm Heaven is indeed coming to America, or if it was just a tease... I wnt to know if I have to import it or not.
i'm reposting:
part of the Beijing Olympic Games bush sculptures!
So yeah, WHY WAS THERE NO KID ICARUS AT E3!?!?!?
Also, dolphins in Splash Woman's stage: confirmed? Does MK vs. DC play like MK2? How's Street Fighter 4 hold up to 2 and 3? What would you do to get MegaMan 9 early? And why does Sega keep screwing up Sonic? They should just scrap all the WereSonic crap and focus on what made Sonic so great in the first place: Playing as Sonic.
Oh and Dyson: What's your favorite type of Pizza rolls? (Pepperoni, deluxe, etc.)
One more question which I actually need your guys' help on: I recently found a fellow selling Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, but I also found someone selling Symphony of the Night. Now I know that both of these games are amazingly awesome but I'm at a loss of which to decide.
Which one should I get?
On a cheerier note,
Save Piture As
AMMAAAZZZIIINNNGGG!!!!
Does it not make you funny in the pants?
For Chad:
- How Amazing was Megaman 9, and just what made it so great? Did it let you down on any fronts?
For Collete:
- Just how did the whole Iga thing end? I really hope it wasn't bondage whipping, but you know Iga's whip thing...
For Topher:
- I'm planning on getting a Used Dreamcast soon. Any tips on games, or whether or not I should pirate anything? You're the resident Dreamcast owner, unless I'm making a mistake...
For Everyone:
- What do you all think of the revivals of all these older franchises, and do you think they'll go over well?
- Just what E3 games got you all the most excited? Prove me wrong that it wasn't Megaman 9.
-Just why do you think people will purchase older games off of VC/PSN/XBLA, when they could easily get an emulator? Familiarity, maybe? I'd like to know what you all think.
-Do you, or do you not think the Megaman 9 Tshirt design is amazing, and deserves 6/5 Dolphins?
....*pant*...*pant*...
Seriously, after that press release I'm really miffed.
Anyhoo,
On a lighter note, did any of you view the amazing Duke Nukem trailer thingy at E3? If so, was there anything particular you were able to ask anyone on it? I need more details on the epic games to be had.
Anyway, is that Mega Man 9 "Box Art" totally rad? I'm sure Chad and Colette will discuss what games they liked from E3, but I'm curious were there any games that pleasantly surprised you? Something maybe you weren't expecting it to be as good as it was?
I always like to hear about the hidden gems!
Awesome at E3
Megaman 9 and Sweaters
They're RETROMAZING!!!
Dyson is participating in an Awesome Apocolypse that could destroy the world. Confirm or Deny.
What is the best comment someone has made about your sweater so far?? Or is everyone too polite to bring it up??
