The Legend of Retro

Once upon a time.....in a podcast far, far, away.. (loud horn playing followed by instrumental music) During their show planning Chops and Craig discovered that they hadn't talked about an original Xbox game on the show. Stunned with disbelief the intrepid pod-casters set out to discuss one of the greatest games ever to be seen on the system: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. While their time was limited the two hosts managed to discuss the game, play one of their Retro Relapses and introduce the next set of NES music bracket competitors. With the empire of fans looming behind them, Chops and Craig continued their work on The Legend of Retro in hopes of reaching internet fame....(fade out of instrumental music)
