RF Generation Collectorcast Episode 14

[techwizard]

I bet Crabby goes somewhere warm and tropical on vacation, somewhere way south, like Victoria BC.

i live within 30KM of Victoria, palm trees and sun all year round.

[Zagnorch]

i live within 30KM of Victoria

Which, for the sake of my fellow yanks 'n' rebs, is little under 19 miles...

...I think.

Call me unpatriotic, but I think the whole weights-and-measures deal is one instance where "American exceptionalism" isn't such a hot idea.

We've been told for decades that the USA would eventually adopt the metric system...yet here we are.

Canada: America's hat.

Or how the Canadians see it,

U.S.A: Canada's dirty underwear.

[SirPsycho]

The reason the USA hasn't adopted the metric system is because we have crappy engineers that would rather design things on the nonsensical customary units, then the hardware companies that make parts to fit (while also making metric tools and parts).

Basically, what will need to be done is that every company and person will simultaneously need to adopt metric only instead of the hybrid crap that most of us are tired of dealing with. I can't tell how many times I've been trying to fix a problem with my metric tools when I needed my standard tools and vice versa, its more trouble than its worth but nobody has the balls to get the ball rolling on full change.

Hey Duke, Crabs, and Bil, if i send you guys a copy of silent service will you all sign it?

I'd be happy to. I'm sure Bil and I could sign when we go to Too Many Games, and then ship it off to Crabby. It will be difficult to bring myself to deface such an amazing collectable though.

Oh, and no more RetroRage, eh? Now Bil is going to have trouble telling you two apart.

Retro Rage is The GLUUUUUUEEEEE that holds us together.

We should totally stock up on silver Sharpies for all of the Too Many Games autographs.

I'll probably have to keep it

Heading home from my tropical vacation today. We spent our southern trip in to warm embrace of Edmonton and Calgary. It only snowed twice while we were here so I've got a pretty killer tan from the Speedo I've been sporting

Say,  didn't someone send you a nice minty shiny CIB copy of Silent Service last month?  Hmm...

[NES_Rules]

Finally got a chance to listen to the show today.
All those extra PM's I've been getting this week about Bil finally make sense.

And that "bleep" near the end scared the *bleep* out of me.

[GrayGhost81]

Finally got around to listening. So happy to get mentioned again. My streak stays intact.

And Duke I didn't mind my video tour getting mentioned. It was pretty awesome actually. I even called my roommate, who recorded the videos, into the room to hear you guys talk about it.

I didn't even mind getting made fun of for spelling f ing VALKYRIA wrong!

[Duke.Togo]

LOL, that spelling thing always gives me a good chuckle. I just like trying to read them out loud.

Also, when is the next episode of your show coming out? I enjoyed the last one a lot. For those that haven't listened yet, you should.

[GrayGhost81]

Wow thanks man, we actually took a break because we thought we weren't getting a lot of hits.

I hadn't looked at our stats in a while but we do have a few plays since we took a break. Maybe I could talk my partner into firing it up again!

I appreciate you checking it out, and thanks for the encouraging words!


Well everybody like Duke said I'd love it if you'd check out my podcast. I haven't been pushing it too hard here because everyone has a damn podcast nowadays and it gets annoying trying to get them all in. But if you want to hear two more guys talk about games of all eight generations, check out the link in my sig.

[Duke.Togo]

Don't let low numbers discourage you. If you have a passion for doing it, people will respond.
