Barrel Roll! Episode 8 - “Back…to The Emerald City ComiCon”
On an extra special eighth episode of “Barrel Roll! - A Video Game Podcast”, we are up at 1am Sunday night after having a great time at Emerald City ComiCon. Thrill, as we attempt to not fall asleep while doing a con wrap up! Also, live Keytar intro featuring the demo button.
Jerry, who you might know from the Internet as Tycho Brahe, was kind enough to stop by the table. Not only did he pick up a copy of our book, but he was nice enough to do an interview with us as well. We talk about his earliest gaming memories, what he’s playing now, and what’s coming up for Penny Arcade.
But that’s not all!
Kris Straub, creator of Starslip (one of my personal favorite comics), also did an interview. Here we talked briefly on his early days of playing “Wing Commander” with his brother, and why the guys in “Gears of War” are not the gentlemen he would personally choose to hang out with.
Jesse, aka Main Finger, after a brisk five years has finally finished his latest album, “Mode7″. In the break we play Carnival Cave, a remix of Mystic Cave Zone from Sonic 2.
With all the con prep, none of us have had a lot of time for gaming this week. Luke did finally put Rogue Galaxy to rest, and Jonah attempted to play “Legends of Zork“, but the servers were down after only one night.
In the news, we discuss the recently released “Batman: Arkham Asylum” footage, and in Movie Time, Luke finally sees the “Back to the Future” trilogy!
A huge thank you to everyone who came out to see us at the show. You were wonderful! Also, to Jerry and Kris, you guys rock the socks of the blocks.

Jonah "spambot" Gregory says:No, I am wrong. There is something wonky with the RSS right now. Direct download seems to be working fine though.
*EDIT* - It’s currently up. Let’s hope it stays that way!
