We here at RetroDBZ put together an online day of streaming content this past weekend. The event was called the Virtual Retro-Spective. Celebrating all things ScoreZ, RetroZ, PanZ and FanZ. The pandemic has caused many of the gaming conventions and tournaments this year to be cancelled. Im hoping this event will help fill that void and give the community a chance to get together and celebrate the game we all love.
The Virtual Retro-Spective streamed on September 5 on Twitch. September is suicide awareness month. We will be doing a fund raiser through out the month of September for the Hunter Burton Memorial Open. The HBMO is a charity group that helps spread suicide awareness and prevention to gaming groups. I have worked this charity many times over the last few years and feel very strongly about they are doing. The stream was a mix of live and prerecorded content. I reached out to various Score and Panini employees who provided content for the stream.
The Schedule for the stream was the following.
Intro and Retro History with Josh and Garrett (live)
HBMO Discussion with Erin Giddings (live)
FanZ Preview and Discussion 1 with Joey Dicarlo (live)
Interview with Aik (prerecorded)
Interview with Chippy (live)
