RetroforceGO! records episode 45 tonight: Nonsense, mayhem, listener questions!

awwww shes cuteee. :D

oh crap i forgot my question!

What are your thoughts on the use of DLC? (no seriously what do you think ahout it!)

I bought a Game Boy Advance game off of eBay, and upon receiving it yesterday discovered it was a bootleg. Who do I murder besides the seller (assuming the seller doesn't refund me)? Have you ever had any disappointing bootleg and/or eBay experiences?

Since the episodes that end in a five will now be "community episodes": How about letting a community member join the show? You could maybe hold a contest the episode before to decide which member deserves a place in RetroforceGO! history.

Also, what can scare you in a video game? I mean not the regular stuff which you can find in horror games, but completely trivial things. For example, I'm afraid of water in 3D video games and whenever I come to a point in a game where I have to swim, I stop playing it.

Oh, and something for Dyson: Since you like to read out names, how about this one:

Tjark Wewetzer

I'll make it short..ejem..For Dyson and Topher, do you feel sometimes go gay just because of Chad? Because I..I do..

Scratch that, nobody saw nothing, move along!

Also, I second what Alanar said, you guys should invite people from the community when it's about the community show.

The questions are already awesome! SO excited! :)

Can we just have Dyson read words for the entire hour? That would be amazing. :)

pronounce this: Otom Shank.

Oh, the bootleg game that was the impetus for my question was Castlevania Double Pack. I meant to mention that.

Have there been any old games that came highly recommended to you from friends but upon playing them for the first time you're convinced they have on a nice thick pair of rosy retrogoggles?

I have a three questions:

-Will there ever be a beat 'em up episode?
-Will you ever do an episode about the worst retro games ever made (I had to put in retro or else the episode would be an hour of Dyson expressing his hate for Halo and Metroid Prime)
-And concerning the bet you have with episode 50, if all of you are wrong, what horrible, degrading thing are you willing to do?

Any question?

How about this!

There are ten candles burning in a dining room. A strong breeze blows in through an open window and extinguishes two of them. Checking back in on the candles later, you see that one more candle has gone out. To make sure that no more flames go out, you shut the window. Assuming the wind doesnt extinguish any more candles, how many candles do you have left at the end?

But seriously, how much do you guys enjoy the puzzle game genre? (like Prof Layton, Hotel Dusk) Any hopes or ideas on what the future of thes genre might bring?

@ Passionate Styos

Lol...I think everyone feels that way about Chad.

Chad, can the Dtoid community put a baby in YOU?

What are your thoughts on Rapetraps at PAX this year? Will the inclusion of Chad this year allow us to accomplish anything else aside from constant Rapetraps?

Have you all received your controllers for your 360's yet? On a scale of 0-5 dolphins, how much better is the Dpad and face buttons in comparison to the original controller?

What are your thoughts on naked podcasting? King3vbo and myself did it last weekend and it was quite liberating.

Wow, her face is very beautiful...

Oh my bad, that wasn't a question. Take two:

We should all have a gangbang?

Okay, here it goes.

1) I want to know what you guys think about the concept of "gamer-cred." I recently made a C-blog post about it after reflecting upon the behavior of my roommate (who, coincidentally, claims the hosts of your fine show are "not gamers"). Feel free to rant about that.

2) I know Dyson is all about the retro, but I wonder what he thinks about games with shiny new graphics but retro play style. Examples of games like this escape me at the time of this post, but I am sure there is something out there.

3) Why was last week's RetroforceGO! so fucking epic?

4) Why is it that as the negative stigma of being a gamer starts to fade away, games releases become more derivative and uninspired? Who decided that FPS or Action games are the only genres that can have blockbuster, high budget titles? Why do these titles all play like shit?

I am pretty sure if I was not suffering from some massive chase of insomnia and end of semester stress I would have more inspired questions. In place of that I offer you pictures of my dog attempting to devour my face.





Please, enjoy!

When is the Chrono Trigger episode?

What is your favorite game in a genre you hate? (This is probably the only serious question I'm asking.)

10 peso 10 peso 10 peso 10 peso 10 peso. One dollar?

Did you guys play Air Fortress yet? If not, you really should.

Will Topher delete someone on his XBL friends list so he can be my friend? I need an Ikaruga score to aspire to beat.

Will Colette play Mythos with me after RFGO is done?

On the topic of Mythos, what was everyone Diablo II main class (That counts as Retro)

Chad, WTF aren't you going to Dexter's next weekend?

I have another serious question. If you could set any character from an NES game on fire, who would you pick?

When are you guys going to do a retro PC episode?

And the last actual question, kind of inspired by Dutch Slayer.

What are games that you played as a child that, looking back, you feel like you shouldn't have played because of the content (or what games did you play as a kid that you wouldn't let your own kids play until they were older)?

I <3 you guys.

don't you think it's kinda ironic that someone with "slayer" in his name likes the art of SMW2 : Yoshi's island ?

@Hamza CTZ Aziz

What about a gangbang and a massive fingerbang all at the same time?

Grim is wise.

Whats your favorite music from any game?
Which game do you know every piece of music. Like if i played you a random song from that game you'd be able to name something that happens or where that music plays.

Whats your most memorable song in a game that you never get tired of?

So I recently found a retro gaming store that opened up a while back in town and was thinking of picking up a couple games that I have been playing with my not-emulator on my not-pc. I was perusing through the shelves and I noticed that a cracked/beat up copy of Final Fantasy 7 (psx) was $75, a copy of Xenogears (psx)was $65 and SNES classics like Contra 3, Zombies at my Neighbors, Zelda, and Super Mario World could all be had for less than $10. Are these prices skewed or do you really think that games like FF7 deserves the outrageous pricetag?

Dyson: I give you a hug for pronouncing my name correctly, now will you try and pronounce archipelago again? :D

Chad: Will you go play El Viento so you can ride the dolphin to kill a giant octopus? I promise you it's amazing. Also, how does it feel to have a future wife that can ace your dolphin quiz? =P

Colette: Why are you so amazing? I <3 you. How sexy was Chad on the beach in Cancun? =P

Topher: How many times did you squee when Ikaruga finally hit XBLA? And, how many times did you have to change your pants the first time you saw the game (Not the XBLA version, the original)?

Excluding the ones you've already done, what's your dream episode about?
