The Great Panda Depression of 2008: No RetroforceGO! tonight photo

Sorry, everyone. Due to circumstances beyond our control, RetroforceGO! will not be recording episode 57 tonight.

I can’t go into too much detail, but Topher will not be around for the next few days and wanted me to pass along the message. In an unfortunate coincidence, Colette is also unavailable (she is not on a plane, though, I promise). So unless you want to listen to a podcast of me singing all my favorite songs for an hour, the obvious decision here is to delay the show a week.

Wait, a podcast of me singing all my favorite songs? That’s kind of my dream come true!

Nah, I can’t. I have to honor my amazing co-hosts and hold off. *puts away soundtrack to Aladdin*

Please know that if we could record we would. Sorry again. :(

AWWWWWWW, this was the show I was going to come back from my haiku hiatus too =(. Even though Chad, can we still have a show of you singing? I would die from a happiness explosion if that would happen.

This is sad for multiple reasons. For one, I was hoping to hear more about Bionic Commando: Rearmed.

It sounds like Tophar's sick--or worse.
I really hope no one's sick!

You do realize that 78% of the D-toid community would PAY MONIES to hear a podcast of you singing?

Hell, I'd even pay 1800 MS points for it!

I would kill for a Chad Concelmo Sings His Favorites CD. It would totally make up for there not being a RFGO! this week, too. :(

I'll just take this chance to thank you guys at RetroforceGO! for giving me something me to listen to on the five hour flight home from Hawaii last week. Normally I wouldn't have said anything, but the in-flight movie was Made of Honor, so you saved a sizable piece of my soul.

Chad, you should have done an episode all by yourself. 1Up's Sports Anomaly did it once and it was probably their best episode. For added lulz you could have played the parts of Topher and Colette, and even done a Rev Rant where you complain at length about a game you've barely played!
