Fri, 21 August 2009  Yatta! We did it! I think. I am both proud and honored to finally
present to you our 100th episode. It's more or less a listener
questions show, but a little more personal this time around. Also, Chad
totally wrote a song especially for this occasion, and he totally sings
it. I imagine it will change the course of human history. Other
highlights include:
- 100 episodes! Woot, etc.
- Chad's morning routine
- Hands-on PS3 Slim impressions
- Chiptune re-entry by the mysterious Coffeesash
- Chad Concelmo is straight up gangsta
- Cereal business
- You are so not ready for Chad's song
- We <3 you
Again, thanks for listening. It's been a hundred episodes now and we're
still amazed anyone actually listens to this. You can get the last
episode of the season by subscribing to us on iTunes or the feed
service of your choice, or you can grab it right over here. We're gonna
take a few weeks off, but we'll be back before you know it for our
third season. Maybe with some new features. Maybe a monkey. Or like,
rocket launchers. Direct download: rfgoep100.mp3 Category: podcasts -- posted at: 1:45 AM |

Thu, 13 August 2009  Happy not-quite-Friday, listeners. This week we recorded our audio commentary track for The Wizard.
Hopefully you've been able to obtain a copy of the film, otherwise this
is going to be the most boring and confusing episode you've ever
listened to.
If you have, you can sync up with us after the first half of the podcast and watch the movie along with us, MST3K-style. Highlights this week include:
- California
- Califooorrnia
- California?
- Califooooooorrrrrnia
- California
- Dinosaurs!
Subscribe to us on iTunes for the early matinee, or download it here to
watch it late, when the theater is full of noisy teenagers. We hope you
enjoy. We'll be back next week for our final show of the season, which
also happens to be our 100th episode. Direct download: rfgo99-the_wizard.mp3 Category: podcasts -- posted at: 1:11 AM |

Fri, 7 August 2009  Happy Friday,
listeners! This week's episode is all about Super Metroid, and might
also be the first time Chad and Dyson have discussed the topic together
without arguing. Not a bad way to bring us toward the end of the
season. Highlights include:
- The ice cream cart returns
- Sexy Poker ... yeah
- BEEEEEEEEES
- The tale of Hamza sucking
- Backtracking: lazy or anything but?
- The origin of immersion
- Speedruns!
As
always, subscribe to us on iTunes to get the show early, or check it
out over here. Only two episodes remain before we wrap up our second
season, but contrary to what the bullies on the playground have been
telling you, we're not going anywhere.
We'll be taking a few weeks off after our 100th show, so you guys can catch up on any episodes you might have missed, and we can enjoy a little vacation. But we'll return before you know it, possibly with some new surprises. Oooh.

Fri, 31 July 2009  Happy Friday, listeners. This week we finally recorded our Final Fantasy VII episode, as this season's final installment of our Retro Limbo series. It's a long show, and it's packed full of talk about stuff like:
- Chad Concelmo: Ice cream burglar
- Spoilarz
- Materia: best system ever
- Why people are still cosplaying Sephiroth
- Spinoffs: The good, the bad, and the Dirge of Cerberus
If you subscribe to us on iTunes, you've already heard it. If not, you can do so here. We'll catch you again next week. Direct download: rfgo97.mp3 Category: podcasts -- posted at: 2:09 AM |

Fri, 24 July 2009  With the ladies away at SDCC, Chad, Dyson, Conrad and I got together to record the manliest episode of RetroforceGO ever.
If we'd planned it to happen this way, we could have done something
super testosterone-driven, but instead we talked about pinball, because
that's what was on the schedule. I guess that's still pretty manly when
you think about it. Beefy highlights include:
- Hot oil and headbands
- Chad gets a special delivery
- Hey look, PSN
- Balls, flippers, rails, lights, plungers and noise
- Chad's encounters with a true pinball wizard
- The more crap it's got in it, the better
- Conrad enlightens us on some neat tricks
If you really loved us you'd subscribe to us on iTunes. But if not, you
can listen to the show here. I guess that would be fine, too. Enjoy,
and check back next week, when we'll be discussing a game that will
have most of you very, very excited. Direct download: rfgo96-pinball.mp3 Category: podcasts -- posted at: 1:20 AM |

Fri, 10 July 2009  Happy Friday, listeners. This week's episode was made up entirely of your questions, so if it's lame, it's totally your fault.
And if it's awesome, then you should pat yourself on the back for being
so good at coming up with interesting things for us to talk about. Also
for being cute, because you are. Highlights this week include:
- Atlus hard
- ScienceforceGO!
- Retro retro retro stop saying retro
- You have to use your hands? That's like a baby's toy
- Unofficial game soundtracks
As always, you ca subscribe to us on iTunes to get the show early, or
check it out here. We'll be back next week, ever closer to episode 100.

Fri, 3 July 2009  Happy Friday, listeners. While our show is never exactly what you'd call "safe for work," this episode is seriously
NSFW. Conrad joined us this week, to discuss all the dirty, pervy
things that game developers used to be able to get away with. Stuff
like:
- Beat 'em And Eat 'em
- That's what she said
- Boong-ga Boong-ga!
- That's what she said
- Sexy Parodius
- Boobies, asses, dongs, vag00s, etc
- Why is this stuff so shocking?
- That's what she said
You can check it out right here to get the standard rubdown, or subscribe to us on iTunes for the full release, happy ending version. You perverts. Very special thanks once again to our beloved Coffeesash, who created the deliciously pornographic piece of music you'll hear in this episode.

Fri, 19 June 2009  Happy Friday,
listeners. There was a bit of trouble getting the show uploaded this
week, but thanks to the vigilance of Geraldo Beedog, all has turned out
well. Thank you, sir. This week we were joined by one of our very
favorite listeners, Naia-the-gamer, as we discussed Final Fantasy IV. That's Final Fantasy II if you played it on the SNES, because Square's favorite thing to do is confuse us with its haphazard numbering protocol.
Subject
matter aside, this week's episode is special because it features lots
of girls. You won't find that over at Podtoid. No sir. I'm talking
about vaginas, folks -- as I often like to do -- and we're surrounded
by 'em this week. So many in fact, that today's header image is crafted
by our own Stella Wong, circa 1992. Lovely, isn't it? This week's girly
highlights include:
- Vaginas everywhere!
- The Dragoon jump. 'Nuff said.
- Spoilers. We've got 'em.
- A big party is a happy party.
- Chad demands ice cream.
You can check out the new episode right here, or subscribe to us on
iTunes to get the show as early as possible. That is, unless you're
some kind of cheauvanist pig who doesn't like girls. Direct download: rfgo93vaginas.mp3 Category: podcasts -- posted at: 3:36 PM |

Fri, 12 June 2009  Happy Friday, listeners. This week we discussed all the things that
pleased and displeased us about this year's E3. We also laughed a lot
and talked about pancakes, because that's in our job description. Fun
fact for the RFGO edition of Trivial Pursuit. Highlights?
- E3 = Work.
- What does Dyson think of the new Metroid?
- New Zelda: Not Wind Waker style.
- Stop waving it, we don't wanna see it.
- Bonus: if you listen closely, you can hear me facepalming.
- Scribblenauts: Amazing.
As always, you can subscribe to us on iTunes to get the show early or
go here to get it late. Way late. Like booted from the cool kids' table
late. Enjoy, and we'll be back next week, one show closer to episode
100. Direct download: rfgo92-hoof.mp3 Category: podcasts -- posted at: 12:40 AM |

Sat, 30 May 2009  Happy Friday Saturday, listeners! Allow me first to apologize for the lateness of the show this week. Despite Geraldo Beedog's shocking accusations of scandal,
the truth of the matter is that there was simply a bit of trouble
uploading the file yesterday, and it really isn't any more interesting
than that. But without further ado, highlights:
- Colette's on a plane! For real!
- What is a platformer?
- Let's argue about it!
- Pancakes. Don't make me do it.
- Chad gives us a lesson in ergonomics
- Double jump!
As always, you can subscribe to us on iTunes to get
the show early, or you can check it out right here. We'll catch you
again next week, hopefully on time.RetroforceGO! Direct download: rfgo91.mp3 Category: podcasts -- posted at: 4:15 PM |
