Oh, I also wanted to ask about your fine yardsales and the selection of merchandise available to the discerning consumer at them.

Seriously, did we ever get an explanation as to the orgins of the yardsale joke? I must have been away that day.

Is there a retro game you will not go back and play because you don't want to ruin your memories of it?

Hey I just joined so here goes,
1. It isn't super retro but since I know you guys love rpgs I was wondering if you had played the Golden Sun games. Being the young wipper-snapper that I am, these got me into rpgs.
2. I wanted Topher to know I bought Ikaruga today for the gamecube mostly because of him.

I have some words for Dyson,

Antidisestablishmentarianisim
Onomatopoeia
DAN GALE'
Phonecia
Narpas Sword
Bourgeoise
Dog
Cat
(your lucky I don't know any more big words)

I love you. :D

Super Dodge Ball:

Great game, or greatest game?

When the retroforcego crew play RPG's like final fantasy, are you just trying to get through the storyline and to the finish, or do you powernerd (grind) your party to epicness and kill all the optional bosses, and get all the kick ass items as well??

I know you guys all like arcade games, do any of you own any cabinets?? What would be your favorite game to pick up if you don't??

And finally, if episode 44 wasnt official, hows does this become 45?? And if were releasing things through c-blogs, can we maybe have the lost episodes you guys were talking about in episode 35?? They should be entertaining.

I just wanna say I freakin love you guys, the RFGO podcast makes being at work so much easier :)

Dyson got me playing Contra again,
Topher got me playing shmups again,
Collette got me playing classic RPGs again,
and Chad is fucking god.

That is all :D

1. Would you rather be an ice road trucker, logger, or crab fisherman?

2. Is it soda or pop? (Hint: It's soda)

3. What is your favorite Firefly character?

4. One more Space Quest or one more Kings Quest?

5. Is there any chance that the Ender's Game video game will be any good?

6. If you had the know how, what genre of game would you make?

7. Do you think the Metroid movie is real? Who should play Samus?

Since I know that Dyson can already pronounce my screen name, lets have him pronounce my real name: Iohannes Meraodith.

Just joking. Real name is Harrison Gross.

And now, on with the questions:

Do you guys actually like Pipe Dream, and either way what did you think of the hacking minigame in Bioshock?

Nobou Uematsu Vs. Koji Kondo: Who wins?

Has Chad gotten all 242 stars in Mario Galaxy yet, and if so, was it worth playing the game again as Luigi to get those last two?

How many of you would enjoy a Fire Emblem anthology for the DS including fire Emblems 2 through 5? And would you also enjoy a mother anthology for the DS? Because I have a really big attraction to these imaginary compilations.

How excited are you for FFIV(II) for the DS coming out this summer? How many baby dolphins/chocobos/whathaveyou would you kill to get a FFVI(III) for the DS?

What are each of your least favourite Zelda games? (Canadian, not British)

Have any of you complete Mario 2 (JP)? If so, have you also beaten world D-4 in the original version?(All stars made it easier)

Mario Kart Wii: Your opinions?

Finally, have any of you guys played D&D at all? I know it's not really video game related, but oh well.

Listening to the past 44 episodes has made me want to go retro and play the stuff I never got to play as a kid (Like pretty much everything on SNES). So I was wondering if the Retroforce crew had any suggestions on the best places to buy retro gaming stuff.


Also, I found this old picture the other day and wanted to know how many awesome points I get for having Super Mario wallpaper when I was a kid:

[/url]WARNING Topher!!! A New Challenger Appears!!!









Totally an original idea!


on a more serious note
---
What's your favorite ice cream flavor?

How do you like your steak?

What are your thoughts on Street Fighter 4?

Who is the real murderer?

And if you were to splice the DNA of a Dolphin and a Chocobo, what would the end result be?


P.S. I watched There Will Be Blood on DVD yesterday, fucking awesome movie.

Also I never told you this, but the reason I was able to beat Contra 4 on Hard without a continue was because I was listening to RetroForceGO! when I did it. You guys also helped me through Ninja Gaiden Black.

Since Chad has revealed his inner evil will we hear Anthony confessing to saving an orphanage of AIDS infested Children.

Has broken game design ever ruined a game for you?

For example, I really wanted to get into The Bard's Tale. I love RPGs and was intrigued by the idea of an RPG that parodied RPGs.

The thing that ruined the game for me was, every time that you wanted to go into a house and break other peoples stuff a load screen came up (on the Xbox version, at least). I mean, come on.

First of all, I lend all my support to an Earthbound/Mother themed episode.
Secondly, i don't remember this being asked before, so here goes: What is your favorite guilty pleasure game? I mean either a so bad it's good romp or a not-so-well recieved game that you enjoy more than you probably should? Or maybe even something that you forced yourself to like, like I did with Monster Madness.

A secondary inquiry in case the other one had been previously awnsered: How much does it bother you from a gameplay perspective using translation guides for Japanese games? I'm currently going through Mother 3 and this is the first time I'm using one, and I got to say it's quite inconvenient and a little disbarring to have to look back and forth between screens, it really detracts from the experience. Though it's a lot better than playing it with little to no clue as to whats going on.

I like that girl. *poof*

Sadly, I'm heading out the door and I don't have time to think up a super amazing awesome question. So, I will just post a puppy pic.



Also, I just played/beat Portal for the first time! Yay!

I remember Chad mentioning that they used to design Mega Man characters and levels in class. I remember doing that as well. I also remember working on a whole plot and plan for an RPG after playing Final Fantasy VI.

So my question is, have any of you had a specific game idea or whatever that you really wanted to see turn into a real game and what was it?

You guys have plenty of questions already. So here's my lame question:

The Scenario is a Final Fantasy Zombie Apocalypse:

Which would you rather have: An airship, a castle that travels underground, the Doom Train, or Sprint Shoes.

Also, if you had to pick between having one spell: Fira, Esuna, Cura or Imp, which would you pick?

What would you offer if invited into the design process of a new game that interested you (I don't know of any of you have done so already)? Is your love of games just for personal enjoyment or do you ever think "Man I would have loved to design a level like so-and-so..."

Topher would you not relish contributing to the strategy of a a Shmup?

Colette + Dyson would you not love to suggest features or story to an RPG?

Chad must you not dream of ways to add dolphins to a platformer?

Reverend is there something you'd like to put forth into the gaming world that can chill you the fuck out?

ps, I love you guys!

Did you notice europe got 4 releases for the virtual console in one week. Sure none of them really set the heather alight but come on four!
