Well kids, looks like we made it. Tonight we record our 100th episode. We thought about what our topic should be, and having already done a few retrospective episodes, we figured another one would bore you. You've heard those stories, right? So, much like your date last night, we're gonna talk about ourselves.
That sounds pretty conceited on the surface, but we thought it would be nice to give you guys a chance to get to know us as people, and as gamers. Believe it or not, Dyson does more than sit around eating Pizza Rolls all day, and I happen to like a few games that aren't Ikaruga. So tonight we'll be taking your questions about the crew. We'd love a chance to tell you what our favorite current games are, or what we like to do in our off hours. Ask us whatever you like, but let's not get ridiculously personal, eh?
And keeping on par with a listener questions episode, this is probably going to spiral into absurdity, so you may as well toss out a few Disney song requests for Chad and Colette. 100 episodes is a lot of podcasting, and we're just going to have some fun tonight to close out the season. Hooray for mayhem.

So for a random question: Where in the world would each of you most like to travel?
Chad, Colette and Dyson: Favroite Godzilla Monster?
Also, slightly weird question, but what do you guys do when you play games like the original Mario ones, where you have the choice to warp and skip levels? I'm always torn by my love of secrets and my OCD desire to play ever part of it? Do you strongly go one way or the other?
Is everyone on the show going to PAX?
Anyway, my question is what did you all do before RetroforceGO or even before Destructoid? Also, has Chad gotten around to playing the Retro Force game for the PS1 yet?
How long does it take you to aproximatively record one show (including subject preparation, the recording itself, the mic tests and the break)?
Is there grass on the playing field?
So, a question. What's your favourite internet meme?
Also:
:D
I guess my question would be, if a game presents you with the ability to choose multiple love interests, do you stick with one or do you pull a Chad and mack on as many as you can? (Also since I have Persona on the brain, for those who have played P3/P4, who were your chosen love interests?)
If you could go back in time to episode #1 of Retroforce Go!, barring any time paradoxes, and ask just one question what would it be?
I'd like to know what you guys all aspired to be when you were kids.
(e.g., Mario blankets, Zelda candy, full-sized Mega Buster?!?)
That being asked you know I love you cats and can't wait to meet some off you at pax. But for those of you not going I'm sure we shall meet some day. Retroforce GO for the win. You guys have made my work days bearable for the last two years and I hope you know that we couldn't ask for more then you guys just talkin and havin fun together. Also Kelly says hello. Oh and surprise guest entry from unborn offspring whose name will be Owen Matthew Degand if it is a boy and Sydney Quinn Degand if it is a girl. Sorry Chad but she really liked Owen and we have a Chad in the fam already. Peace and sorry for the wall of text but it 100 and here's to 100 more.
Also, here's a question: what would each of you like to see more of in video games? It can be a type of character, a gameplay element, or a dramatic theme. Personally, I'd like to see gay characters in games that are not some horrible effeminate or ridiculous stereotype. I think games have a lot of power as a medium, and having likable and admirable characters that are also gay would go a long way toward improving the way gay people are treated in the US and worldwide.
I still remember last GDC party when I went to my first Dyson party, being overwhelmed and internet starstruck to meet Chad for the first time and talk Phantasy Star with Dyson around the keg. Since then, you guys have gone from people I just listen to every week to good friends who I can hang out with and beat at BlazBlue (<3 Love you Stella!)
<3 RFGO! Keep up the amazing!

Also, for a random question: Where in the world IS Carmen Sandiego? :D
Congrats on 100 episodes guys! Much love to all of you! <3 <3 <3

Also, if you could have one super power, what would it be?
Here's my question:
Let's say the gang finds a magical genie lamp. The genie will give each one of you three wishes. The genie also happens to be Rip Taylor(HELLO!) and asked for not anyone to be a smartass and wish for more wishes. So what would you all wish for?
(This listener hopes that the answer is a resounding "yes".)
For everyone: If a zombie/robot/snapping turtle-otter hybrid attack occurred globally what weapon would you use to defend yourself, who would you take with you (real or fictional), and what song would be playing while you were defending yourself?
Congrats on EP 100!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!
You guys have kept me company during shitty homework assignments, walks, long drives, and several places in-between. You've kept me sane during some rough patches. Thanks for that. I've only been listening for maybe thirty-five or so episodes (not counting the retroactive listening I partook in), but listening to you guys already feels like conversing with friends.
Rather than wax on like that, I guess I'll ask an actual question.
With the recent "news" that FFXIII will ship on three discs for the 360, I've become kinda nostalgic for the days where I'd swap through the discs of the PSX Final Fantasy titles. To me, it felt like closure to a chapter. It was a sort of catharsis to get up, take a deep breath, reflect on whatever epic event had surely just taken place, and pop in the next disc.
I happen to know more than a few of you on the show like a little game called Lost Odyssey, so I was wondering if you guys feel the same regarding the ancient art of the disc swap. Is it a bother or a treat?
Here's to many more pizza rolls, dolphins, slurpees light on the bees, et cetera, et cetera.
While video games are hugely popular now a days people who admit to being as big of games enthusiasts as we tend to be are pigeonholed into a very outdated view of gamers, do you ever feel bad or embarrassed to bring up who you work for or even that games are a huge passion for you. I feel like if I ever say "oh I really love game" people automatically get the halo 3 frat assumption.
Is there a show of retroforce you would love to do but none of your cohosts seems to like that game or series enough (chad and banjo kazooie for example)
be honest, is recording retroforce ever week a joy or are their times when you have to trudge through. This may seem weird but we all have bad days where we kinda don't feel like doing anything else. So has that ever happened to you guys?
Since topher recently got to see the ps3 slim it made me think, when you get a game early are you able to be professional about it or deep down are you excited you get to early access to stuff.
Did everyone complete or keep there gaming resolutions so far?
What game are you most excited about playing right now?
I once again want to say thanks for being the podcast ever and I love you guys!
I'd like to know what kinds of books and movies you all enjoy, and if that has influenced your choice of games, or vice versa? Do they tend to fall into similar genres, or are they completely different from one medium to another?
Bonus question: where do you see yourselves in 5 years? 10?
I'd like to gift 100 dolphins, chocobos, slurpies and goodwill stores to all of you :)
Which leads me to my question: Stella what's your favorite thing ever?
oh, and here are some puppies
