Hey there, RetroNots fans! I'm happy to announce that Jeremy and myself will be hitting the road once again for the Portland Retro Gaming Expo,

this October 20th to 22nd at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Oregon.

And for the first time, we'll have a table on the show floor so you can chat with us and buy authentic RetroNots merchandise.

And that's not all. At this year's PRGE will also be hosting a live panel called Behind the Scenes of Metal Gear, featuring guests who worked on actual Metal Gear games.

It'll be held on Sunday October 22nd at noon, so we hope to see you there.

We're also putting together another RetroNots meetup which always ends up being the highlight of our trip.

For more on this and all of our other Portland plans, be sure to follow us on Twitter at RetroNots who can stay completely up to date on everything we're doing.

Remember that's the Portland Retro Gaming Expo October 20th to 22nd at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Oregon.

Be the winner!

This weekend RetroNots, a sunnier disposition.

Hi everyone and welcome to a RetroNots micro episode. It's a little different than usual.

This is a follow up to the episode that went up earlier this week wherein we talked about and complained about Super Mario Sunshine a lot.

I think we were pretty fair to the game even if we work a bit harsh, but I know that there are a lot of people who have very positive thoughts about Super Mario Sunshine and some people with negative thoughts.

And I know this because more than two dozen of you wrote in to my request for letters about this game.

That was way too many to fit into the episode. So we're dedicating this micro episode to Super Mario Sunshine.

So if you thought that we were too harsh on Super Mario Sunshine, well here is a gentle hug for your soul.

So as last time I am Jeremy Parish and with me going around clockwise this time.

Hey I'm Samuel Claymoren, I work at IGN.com.

Hey it's Henry Gilbert again, love me, Samario, not this game though.

I'm Bob Mackie, I regret nothing but it's okay to like things and dislike them.

All right so I think we've kind of been over our feelings on the game, but you guys are welcome to jump in at any time during these letters and offer feedback, opinions, advice.

I just wrote you a few letters.
