Barrel Roll! #119 - “Dial 1-900-Kirby”
When you inevitably get stuck on the master of all difficult game’s games, just give him a ring and he will be right there to help you solve those game tapes! ($2.99 for the first minute, $1.99 for each additional minute).
If you like SHMUP’s, then strap in. Even without an official “SHMUP Chat” segment, this episode is packed with more SHMUP’s than you can handle. Boxcellios II, Silpheed: The Lost Planet, and Shmusicup. Jonah even gets in on the action since he was able to give Acceleration of SUGURI X-Edition a try.
Not a SHMUP fan, or don’t even know what the crap I’m talking about? Fear not! Jesse also gives us the scoop on Fast Racing League while Jonah talks about his further adventures in Valkyria Chronicles and Mighty Milky Way. Adam has given into the craziness of Just Cause 2 while Adam 2 explains Farbs’ latest, Captain Jameson (still in Alpha).
As usual, the guys also talk about the week’s new releases and the news, but this week we also talk a little about what we are/were hoping to see from this year’s E3 (SPOILER: it’s not much). So sit back with your favorite drink, relax, and enjoy this extra long, extra action packed one-hundred and nineteenth episode of “Barrel Roll! A Video Game Podcast”. Operators are standing by!

Adam Milecki says:It’s worth noting that since the recording of this episode, alpha v0.2 of Captain Jameson was released, which fixes some problems and makes the game much more playable and awesome!

linthuslyth says:Hey Jessie, have you tried Beat Hazard(on steam)? Audiosurf + Asteroids. You might like it better than Shmusicup.
There’s another versus Shmup that I know but you’ll be hard pressed to get it. It’s Touhou 9:Phantasmagoria of Flower View. But that’s more of a Bust-A-Move style of versus where each player has their side of the screen.

Jesse "Main Finger" Gregory says:Oh yeah… I have heard of Beat Hazard and did intend to give it a whirl but then forgot about it. I’ll have to try that out at some point.
