Retrocore: Getting all "retrosexual" up in here!

Retrocore #62 “The master of Jill sandwiches”

Today’s show had two different parts. For the first part Colin and Vivi joined me for a review of Abobo’s Big Adventure the ultimate tribute to everything that is the NES. Due to Colin’s internet not “behaving” he had to leave. Then for the second half of the show, I had Chris Vint on of Retroshock Podcast and Boots on of BlankShowCast for a great discussion on the Resident Evil series. We had a blast with this episode and we hope you enjoy. Keep it retro!!

Retrocore #59 “Zelda Special”

I know on the air I said this was episode 58 but it’s not. It’s 59. Colin, Boots, and I got together to talk some Zelda for our last podcast of the year. Yes this time Boots stayed awake and we discussed Zelda games both old and new. We decided to take the show out with some of our Christmas memories and even some from you guys. I’d like to say thank you all for listening and making this a awesome year for us. Next year is going to be even more amazing! Merry Christmas, Hanukkah, and have a safe New Year!!

Retrocore #58 “A Final Fantasy Special”

*Disclaimer*
1. I apologize for my (Chris’s) audio level. I didn’t check it before recording and I sound lower than Tim and Boots.
2. I’m aware of the hard drive hum in the background. I had my mic too close and I apologize for that as well.
3. Boots fell asleep

I decided to have a Final Fantasy discussion so I thought what better way than to have Tim and Boots on from Blankshowcast! For the most part we all share the same interests in the series and have a great knowledge of them as well. This show was a ton of fun to do, and I hope to have the guys on again in the future! Thanks again to all who sent in questions!

It’s that time of the month for some retro talk in your ear holes! What would Retrocore be without random, unscripted, video game talk? This episode is full of just that. From the failed Apple Pippin to the modern iPads and iPhones, we discuss it all! Even Chris’s journey to updating to iOS 5. Don’t fret none as we did review some classic retro games. Hope you enjoy and as always…keep it retro!

Retrocore #54

Today’s show was a little bit different from our other shows. On Side A we just went right on into reviews as usual, but Side B was new to our show. I took various unreleased clips from random shows and played some of them. Some are actual good informative clips while others lean towards the more humorous side. I hope you guys enjoy and if this goes over well expect some more of these clips in the future!

Side A:
Quake review by Colin (PC)
Bloodrayne Betrayal review by Chris (PSN/PS3)

Side B: Bonus Clips
App Revist: We talk about previous “Apps of the week” that have updated. Pix n Love Rush and Kami Retro
Don’s (Sobaer) Password Story: Don asks for a old password and Chris “gives” it to him.
GTA Mario Kart and Nintendo Rant: Colin shares an idea of a Mario Kart MMO and we rant about Nintendo.
Colin doesn’t know: During his Quake review, there was about a minute where Colin couldn’t hear me.
Closing: We come back as usual with some Twitter questions.
