Barrel Roll! Episode #26 - “In-Game Ads In Space”
On a very special twenty-sixth episode of “Barrel Roll! - A Video Game Podcast”, the Gregory clan takes on the touchy subject of in-game advertising when they “talk about stuff”.
In “What We’ve Been Playing”, Jesse has taken advantage of the recent Steam independent game sales so he has been playing through the entire CHRONOTORIOUS album in “AudioSurf”. He then goes on to discuss the album and why you should go pre-order it right now.
Jonah tries to play through “Klonoa 2: Lunatea’s Veil” on the PS2, but the copy he found has a big mark on the disc causing some major freezing issues near the end. He also picked back up “World of Warcraft” with the new 3.2 patch. And, after only 8 years, he managed to finish “Final Fantasy X”. He even wrote a review. And yes, it is weird when I write the podcast reviews and have to talk in the third person. I mean, he says it is.
Brittany has been playing some “Crayon Physics”, also from the Steam independent games sale. Turns out these games are rad and people should go buy them.
In our news segment we are once again annoyed by countdowns. Jesse talks about the DSi’s Facebook integration, and a whole lot more.

Russ "The Bus" Walsh says:Did you guys (and gal) edit out the parts of the ‘cast where I was harassing you through the chatroom? Those were some great times, wouldn’t you say?

Jonah "spambot" Gregory says:That’s the beauty of being there for the live show.
I edited those parts because they were mostly dead air without the chat room backing it up.
