RF Generation Message Board

Episode 11 is live!

What, another one?

How long's it gonna be this time?

...

Um... wow, that came out kinda wrong, didn't it.

A large chunk is dedicated to your grabs Mr. Norch for being a generous donor...

RF Generation collectorcast: Long, hard to sit with, and goes all night, but man does it feel good.

...

waitwut

Can't wait to hear it.  I usually listen on the way to work/at work/at home/when I go to sleep.

There was a cool breeze in the evening air, a window was open in the middle of winter. The mild day was soothing to the soul of a lone man. He could hear the pleased sounds of moaning in the distance, he looked out to see the serenely calm face of two men, one appeared to be Asian, the other was white. They were embroiled in the passionate embrace of lovemaking, the Asian known as Duke Togo and the mustachioed white man was Crabmaster2000. With disgust the man continued looking out his window, unable to look away despite his wrenching stomach.

Up in the tree the window watcher notices a short, sharp beam of light penetrate his pupils. He finally manages to turn his head away from the hot, sweaty man action to notice a Wild Bil filming the entire scene from above. The watcher's head is turned back to the two men rolling around on the ground, hearing the heightened moans of the ecstatic plateau. Duke and Crabby look each other in the eyes with pure love, begin a passionate make out session, tongues wrestling each other for dominance before the three all go inside to record Episode 11 of their completely unrelated podcast.

So, what are you saying here? that the CollectorCast is a sure-fire cure for insomnia?  :insomnia:

:fap:

Oh great, now we've got people writing RF Generation yaoi fanfiction.

It's true what they say about Rule 34:

NO EXCEPTIONS.

May as well commission someone on DeviantArt to illustrate the deal while you're at it.

I'll have you know, there were side bets in RFG chat on whether Zag would be the first to respond to the fanfic.

And everybody won.

Which is sad, 'cuz there was nothing worth winning here.

BTW judging from his post, techwizard might be someone to turn to if you need help breaking your writer's block...

You guys creep me out a litte... oh, and the shows out now.

Only a little?

C'mon, guys, we gotta step up our game...

Quick somebody continue the fanfic!

Oh, um... will you look at the time.

Gotta hit the hay.

Catch you all later.

MUCH later.

@Zagnorch,  I like to think of it as a calming bedtime story or lullaby......

Awesome! New podcast right when I finished the draft of my blog. Great timing.

I will listen to this tomorrow for breakfast... I mean during breakfast.

I'm trying to load up with small scores to see if I can make the next one :P

Now I expect you guys to get in there and bid. You can guarantee you will make the show if you get interviewed!

I would if I hadn't already tossed in my lot on the donations drive rofl

THE GRUUUUUUU!!

46 minutes in.....and here comes the Norch episode.  Skip ahead to 2:35 minutes.

Wait, that's it?!?!? I wonder who will play me in the movie......

1:17

Listen Crabby, 32X isn't a trend, it's a lifestyle.  Like the 32x library, we're an exclusive group of people.  Too high brow for most collectors to understand.  It's cool if you don't like it, just don't hate it.  Why do you gotta hate what you don't understand?

just started this now, i had half of episode 10 to catch up on first. just gotta say i love that revenge of shinobi music.

1:31

Bil: I love "Bad Hair Day"

dude...That ALbum changed my life.  No kidding, I have to be one of Weird Al's biggest fans.

So not only does Bil love 32x, but he's also a Weird Al enthusiast.  Like I said Crabby, we're a distinguished group.

2:02

Karnov IS a hidden gem, and no there is no AVGN about it.

made it halfway through, stopped at exactly 2 hours in. it's after 2am so listen to more tomorrow, hopefully finish it.

I get to go meet Weird Al in Calgary soon!!

Put in the first bid. C'mon guys!

Ummm.... right.

You stay the hell away from me.


That's the kinda reaction I'd expect from a Seattle sports fan.

You're just like your teams: you talk a good game, but when you get right to it, you simply can't hang with greatness. How sad.



And stop stealing my gig.

I know I haven't been keeping it up very well over the last couple 'Casts, but that's no excuse.



I saw him when he played at the county fair about 15 years back, about a year after Alapalooza dropped.

At one point he broke into a non-polka medley of bits of song parodies he probably wanted to make full songs out of, but couldn't get permission from the artists. That was the most interesting part of the concert for me: hearing snippets of song parodies that could have been... like It's Laundry Day, to the tune of the Offspring's Come Out and Play.

42-13.



Excuse me, but i didn't see your name on it.  Why are you so angry today Zag?  Did you're little football prediction expect a 49er blowout tomorrow?  No need to verbally stab me.  Psh, 9ers fans...


Don't try to jump on the bandwagon now.

Been on it for quite some time.

Even saved a couple spots for you and Raze.

I'm now signed up for gamegavel, putting bids in for RFGen....

Upbid you guys AGAIN!


Duke were you thinking of Cybersled on PSX?

YES!

OH NOES!
SoCalMike (Mr. GameGavel) OUTBID ME!

@ Bil i guessed on your zip based on some old PMs
http://www.gamestop.com/Browse/StoreSearch.aspx?sku=800841&return=%2fdefault.aspx%3fnav%3d16k-mortal%2bkombat%2c1385

That is the 360 version of the stick.

Yeah. How do you try and outbid socalmike? He'd be an awesome guest.

The part to finish the TEST PS2 was the Network adapter.
I still have the harddrive that went with the adapter so either he had his own or it is still incomplete.

Yes, he would. Let's make him earn it though ;)

I'm surprised to hear that my Rush photo made the Collectorcast. Bil, Duke, and Crabby keep an eye on your mail boxes. Something might show up at your doors.

I don't know the specific controller you are talking about but i assume it is the Atomic Purple. I had an atomic purple GBC as a kid too.
Which was my favorite one. :'(

My second favorite that i owned as a kid was yellow which we always called "The banana controller".

EDIT
Ssness
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
es en E es

Okay, but promise you'll make the attempt to have him on someday regardless.

Or, at least that you will think about asking him.

I beat Resident Evil 4 on the Wii and the Cube and if someone is a HUGE Resident evil fan i could see why they would not like it since it is very much unlike every game before it.

EDIT
TUROK 2 SEED OF EVIL
CEREBRAL BORE WAS THE BEST WEAPON POTENTIALLY EVERY MADE!

EDIT 2
Sonic Adventure 2 > Sonic Adventure

EDIT3
Mortal Kombat vs. Marvel would be so much better than the T rated sadness that was MKvs.DCU.
The upcoming Injustice game looks great though.... even if it is going to be rated T again.

EDIT4
I have not invested any amount of time into a GTA game since PSX.

Bil
You did not mention the best part of the beginning of the RevX
You are watching the video of Tyler that THROWS YOU CAR KEYS to his his car.

I can't remember if it is the PSX or SNES version but you can actually get the game locked in an infinite loop to run your score up on the first level.

I was hooked on them after playing 2. 4 Was such a huge disappointment for me when it came out. It wouldn't bother me so much if it didn't have the RE name attached to it. I even have a dog named Wesker (which is generally hilarious when I tell people). I'm curious about these rumors that RE Revelations is coming to consoles. I played the demo for it on RE Mercenaries and it seems like a return to what I love about the series.

Duke opens up the NES cabinet and says "Ahhh... i wonder what these would look like with boxes?"

I know what they would look like, an empty wallet.

Okay, this is totally unrelated to gaming, but I heard you guys mentioning a few names like "Macho Man" and WWF/WWE.  Sounds like someone use to dabble in a little pro wrestling.  Maybe I am wrong.  Anyways to clear things up:  Miss Elizabeth and Randy Savage split up in the mid or late 90's.  She was actually dating Lex Luger when she died of a drug overdose.  Savage was remarried and had a heart attack while driving down the highway in FL.  I believe the heart attack is what killed him.  Wow, that sounds depressing.....on a lighter note, here is a video of me refereeing a match with a certain someone you may recognize, if you watched wrestling in the mid or late 90's........

http://m.youtube.com/watch?hl=en&gl=US&client=mv-google&v=FqhPv8rFECU

Oh, and don't feel bad, I still smell the insides of my strategy guides.  Just a heads up, if I buy one from anyone here please don't decide to leave me a souveneir by farting in said strategy guide.

OOH, I think I might just have to pick that up...

The first GS i went to locally was marked as low stock but when i got their they tried to sell me the stick that was bundled with Mortal Kombat Tournament(which is 70$s i think.) and had no clue what i was talking about when i specified this one. Even when i showed them the picture of it on their site.

So it might be worth calling ahead to make sure they have the right one if any of them are a long jaunt.

i love the part about standing around admiring your collections, i totally do that too. once in a while i just stand there, or wheel over my computer chair, staring in awe at all the games. that also happens every time i'm trying to decide a new game to play, because i get really indecisive when i'm given so much choice, so i sometimes spend 15-20 minutes just looking.

@Johnny Nintendo: I couldn't get the video to play on my Mac :(

I wonder why......here try this, it may not work either.

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SBXrb3DWSrY

Lol at the RPG blankie

I use to smell my issues of Nintendo Power when they arrived in the mail.  Also use to  smell my SNES and NES boxes.......

Heh i was doing that today.  I reorganized my collection and just sat there for a good 30 admiring my haul......but it's still not enough.  More!

Yaa! Game sniffing is cool!!


Do you have one too or is it just me?

My mom has been making quilts for several years now and I've actually talked to her about making me a special RPG blankie with a small hole in it for the controller cord to pass through. One day......

.....that's genius.  Don't let the Snuggy people catch wind of that idea Crabby.

most of the way through it and love it so far.  i have about 30 min. left to listen but kids are running around and acting crazy so I'll have to continue later.

I should have noted that the guys didn't need to itemize my pick-ups just because I donated to the site.  It's cool to spark conversation on some of the games, but I don't want my scores to bore the listeners.  40 minutes of the most slow rolling iTunes conversation ever.  Wait, is the 700 Club on iTunes?  I think that mentioning the HOW acquired is usually more important, considering I grab large lots of small scores.  Noting what we get from other members is also important.

Big wrestling fan, so I enjoy playing all the WWF/WWE games from the different eras.  Favorite wrestler - Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat.  That's cool that Johnny Nintendo used to ref.  I did some ring training with a few wrestlers from NWA Georgia and the Carolina organization that spawned the Hardy Boys years ago.  It was an awesome experience, but I'm too short & skinny to have any hope in making it.

The PAL PS1:
[img width=700 height=524]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a241/EldredgeJ/Webboards/S7303727.jpg[/img]

The TI-99/4A - with the Duke Togo seal of approval.  We had them in all of our classrooms in elementary school, so we could learn our math with Meteor Multiplication and Dragon Division.  It was the first computer I'd ever used.  And since I modded the video cable, I can play mine on my big screen.  46" of Parsec!  When you can buy an entire system for less than the price of a new game, you should consider finding one.

I'm glad to spark interest in anything Atari, including those cool Hot Wheels cars.  Like Duke, that was the system of my early childhood.

The small scores was a tad detailed, but we really wanted to drive donations. Maybe some other souls that do want to get talked about a lot will throw in large sums of cash. Still a few days left in the donation drive!

Parsec is pretty fun, even today. The TI was my first computer, and wow I remember spending tons of hours typing in pretty complex BASIC programs out of magazines.

Holy crap, even I couldn't believe how much stuff I grabbed in that period.

BTW the reason I didn't include any Nerf scores was... I didn't have any. In fact, I'm downsizing my collection. Figured I should focus more on another hobby.

@Techie Hey, are you near GA?  I don't think I mentioned it, but after the Reffing, I went on to wrestle for a few years.  You are right though, being 150 lbs. and 5'7'' doesn't help.  I think there is a short clip on YouTube of me getting hit with a backbreaker.  If you ever want to find it, look up Penny Koloff or Kolloff, I can't remember how it was spelled on there.  Anyway, I was the "great nephew" of Ivan Koloff.  The Moscow Mauler.....The Siberian Strangler......   The Crushin' Russian.......PENNY KOLOFF!    Wait.....this is a retro gaming site right?!

EDIT:  Oh, and I had a blanket with a hole in it too, but it wasn't for a controller cord....

i think it's just you XD i do play with a blanket if it's cold, but i don't have a special blanket for games lol

Just donated $20.  I can't wait to get started on my scores.....

I was stationed in NC for a few years, but I did spend some time in GA.  The only role I played in a live show was that a buddy that was wrestling one night at the Sanford Armory told everyone in the locker room that I was a scout for the WWF.  He didn't tell me until after the show, so I kept wondering why everyone was looking my way during their walk-ins.  And the out-of-ring stuff kept happening right in front of me.  Personally, it made for a great show where I was sitting.

Ha, that is a great story.  I would have been doing stuff outside the ring in front of you too.

Congrats to Bill, my alias is indeed Japanese and he pronounce it correctly. It means "Uncle Ferg" in Japanese, which is what I am to my niece and nephews. I thought "Uncle Ferg" sounded a little creepy. And I am, of course, Polish.

Everyone on my grandfathers side is Polish!

YEAH! What does that make me?   1 for 37 so far?  I'm on a roll!

Maybe this should be the Eastern Europe edition of the Collectorcast. I'm half Ukrainian, maybe I can contribute some borscht.

I keep forgetting that you guys do these threads.  Man, I'm probably too late to defend Sonic Adventure 2.  Crap, now what do I talk about.  Ho-hum. Hmm...  Well, there's this-.  Nope, forgot already.  Oh, now I remember.  I really hope once the donation drive finishes you guys still talk about the small scores as much as you just did.  I like the issues that are part of the discussion, but I love hearing you guys gush on about the scores.  Makes me want to hit the thrifts during my lunch break.

So I heard I was supposed to ban wildbil, but now I can't remember why. It seemed like a valid reason while listening too. I guess its your lucky day, Bil, unless of course Crabby reminds me.

Was it SNES?

Oh yeah, that sounds about right. Time to dust off the ban hammer...

:D

:no:

Dude, you totes hafta incorporate your new avatar into the next CollectorCast box-art screenshot.

http://www.rfgeneration.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;attach=5611;type=avatar

Revalations is coming to my Wii U soon!!!

http://www.gamrreview.com/news/89691/resident-evil-revelations-coming-to-pc-ps3-wii-u-amp-xbox-360-in-may/

Just started listening to the Podcast:

As Izret previously stated the game is CyberSled. It is a port from the arcade game:

http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=7466

Ok donation made, glad to help out the site!

For Bil, a Weird Al song about driving big rigs.  I bet Crabby and Duke can appreciate this as well

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZSBrM2SybY

I was listening to "Weird" Al before many of you were born.

And no on Bil's avatar pic, it disturbs me.

Edit: Nupoile is winning the auction at the moment. Are you guys just going to let him walk away with it?

That's right, you whippersnappers! We were takin' a listen to 'im on cassette back in the day! I'll bet none of you even know what cassettes are, what with your digital downloads and all.

And he had a mustache back in the day that made him goofy-lookin' as all get out! Then he shaved it off and looked like a serial killer.

You young'uns today just don't know how good you have it.


Which is the exact reason why it should be added to the next screenshot.

My first "Weird" Al album was Polka Party! on vinyl. No newfangled tapes for me.

Ahhh Polka Party.  Living with a Hernia is one of my favorite songs. 

Ok this is getting carried away.  I'm making a "Weird Al appreciation thread" in Idle chatter.

Oh, so you didn't get In 3-D on 8-track like us real OG Al aficionados?

Poser.  :P

Psh, I was in the bathroom where and while he recorded "Another One Rides the Bus".  Can't get much more OG than that.

Please don't let me walk away with it. I don't really want to win. I want to come in second. My goal is just to keep raising the price so the winner has to pay bunches of money. The plan is to donate regardless of winning.

Besides you don't want to hear me talk, I mumble and talk too quiet. Also, no one ever accused me of being blessed with extra words to speak. Generally my tactic is to ask questions which get the other person talking. For example, I would ask Crabmaster about hockey, Duke about his latest adventures in emulation and Bill about his goals in proper pronunciation.

Well, I dropped a hint to Dr. Demento himself that he should have on his radio show this strange kid from Lynwood who performs these goofy songs.

A kid who I tutored so well, he graduated high school at age 16.

Okay, let's see someone top that.

Weird Al is my son.

I'm your dad.

NEXT!

LMAO

I am a terribly uninteresting person... Someone better take that GG auction back from me....

You'll just go quiet for half an hour and forget that you're supposed to be having a conversation. :P

Or even worse, he'll talk about nothing but Mortal Kombat.

^

Fours hours of mixed Mortal Kombat/32X/PC discussions mixed with alternate groans from Crab and Duke?  Sign me up.  I'll listen to it twice.

I don't think i am going to win anyways and as far as the mortal kombat talking goes it would only be as much as they pried out of me if i did win it :P

On the plus side since they never review eBay winnings no one has to worry about hearing a detailed description of all my finds :P

I'd be down for doing an MK extravaganza, as long as I can gush about MKII.

I've been out of the MK series for so long now that I wouldn't mind revisiting it in the near future.

I'll need some advanced warning so i can do some research and pretend i know what i am talking about... you guys have me worried now lol

Research? What is this word you speak of? Have you even listened to the cast?

Note to self:
mispeel me restarch notes.

Oh restarch!! We do lots and lots of restarch!

You should hear how much I have to edit out to make us sound competent. ;)

Truth

Example: "Trick Shotting"

That's funny. When we first started I would have worked on editing that out to seem more professional, but lately I've relaxed and am fine with it just being fun.

I love that you leave mistakes and tangents in there.
It makes everything seem more natural like you guys are just having a conversation and not scripting it.

Also i have decided if no one attempts to out bid me i will only talk about windows phone games achievements and downloadable content.
I will say the words mortal kombat at least one time though. Since i know it is expected of me.

So the next podcast will feature a guest interview AND the dystopian future? Awesome!

Yea I was boosting 200 wins in the XBLA version on Mortal Kombat Arcade and.....

So it seems izret has lost his connection thanks again for the bids Anthony!

LOL. The interviewee won't make the next episode, but probably the one after that.

Aww.  Come on.  At least play the Mortal Kombat song during the intro (you know, the Techno Syndrome 7" Mix by The Immortals from the movie).

I used to be the club DJ - the only guy on the mic.  If I were to take the high bid, I might have to get cut off or mistakenly take over the conversation.  Maybe the temptation means I'll get a message outside of the auction for air time, but the target listener has definitely changed since my DJing days.

Would you inevitably end up yelling "THIS IS THE REMIX" at some point?

You should have seem the look my wife gave me when I broached the idea of "winning" the donation drive.  It warped my glasses and erased my latest Zelda save.  Probably better for everyone, really.  Still, I might try the buttering approach:  Maybe clean the garage and the basement.  And shave.  That might help.

Just give her something shiny. Distractions like that always work on mine.

Izret had been winning the auction long enough, thought I'd stir up some excitement....

I had things I wanted to say but I completely forgot every single one of them.

Only 4 hours left in the interview auction! http://www.gamegavel.com/item.cgi?show_item=0000715716

Man, I would go ahead and throw a $90 bid up there, but  I have no way to do the show. :(   Duke, are you sure there is no work around for this?

Unfortunately the best thought I have would be to use someone else's PC??

Might not be enough  ;)

I would go just a little bit more....

Ha, if I knew I would be able to do the show, I would make sure to win the auction.  I am feeling generous though.  Duke, can you throw me up a link or point where I can make a donation?

http://www.gamegavel.com/item.cgi?show_item=0000715716

^ Win the auction  :D

I wonder if you can have more than two people on Wii U chat........

If you are reading this, the donate button is at the top of the screen with the rest of the buttons, next to last one.

http://www.rfgeneration.com/forum/index.php?action=paypal

Durrrr....now I feel dumber than a one legged man that just entered a butt kicking contest.

It looks like Nupoile is our winner! Congratulations, and I'll be in touch with further details soon.

Really he only beat me by .75?!?

The way they were talking I though the auction was almost doubled my top bid. I should have checked back in :-/

Grats Nupoile! You were a worthy adversary lol

Congrats Nupoile! Eager to hear what you have to bring to the mix.

Great job on the auction guys!!

Yeah, me too.  :P

You should bring in bomba and tag-team the PC portion of the podcast. Also, talk about your trip to China. ;D

If I had known that, I would have charged something for shipping...

I am gonna add another goal for 2013:  Make a cameo appearance on a Collectorcast episode.

Represent the PNW side of Rfgen!  Holla at cha boy!

http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=PNW
?

PWN can only mean one of two things: Prime Number Wizardry, or judging by Nupoile and RetroRage's locations, Pacific Northwest.

It was a bad joke.
I apologize.

No worries. It took me a while to figure it out so I kind of ran with the joke.

LOL fair enough.

Making list of things to talk about:

   Holla at Retrorage, and probably Techwizard too

   Ask Crabmaster about his crab army

   Explain what PNW means

   Make sure everyone knows to greet Izret in chat like this, "Izret! Izret! Izret! Izret!"

Lol, looking forward to chatting with ya!

It's not "Izret! Izret! Izret! Izret!".
It's "IZRET! IZRET! IZRET! IZRET!". Somehow, the caps work their magic and lock up his browser. ;D

Said like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Isjgc0oX0s
