If you want to play a lot of games without dropping a lot of cash, there’s no better way than bundles. The latest great deal comes in the form of the Indie Royale Summer Bundle. By bidding at least the current minimum (below $6 as of this writing), you can get 8 games. Make a bid of at least $8 and get Pixeljams Volume 1 (normally $5 alone) added on top of your order.

This occasion also marks Rockin’ Android’s support of the Desura platform. Gundemonium Recollection, GundeadliGne, and Hitogata Happa (previously bundled in the Gundemonium Collection) make an appearance as well as the previously PSN-exclusive X-Edition of Acceleration Of Suguri. If you don’t sign up for Desura, you can still download the games directly.

Joining the Rockin’ Android lineup, you’ll find Harvest: Massive Encounter, The Journey Down: Chapter One, Serious Sam 2, and Dino Run SE. And as a special bonus, contributors will get access to the Steam beta of AirMech along with a special “Fleur de Lis” pet. The deal is for a limited time only, so hop on over to the Indie Royale site and grab The Summer Bundle while you still can.

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!

"Nicer than a picture of sick people."

Despite the fact that two of the three hosts are sick, the guys get together after a one-week hiatus to bring you the latest in Barrel Rolling technologies. Jesse and Jonah kick things off with talk of Scroll magazine, which you should probably go buy. They then discuss the launch lineup of the 3DS (since we didn’t get to last week), as well as the new games coming out this week.

In our “The Games We Played” segment, we discuss a variety of topics, from the demos of Dragon Age 2 and Yakuza 4, to the time traveling antics of Back to the Future Episode 2 and Radiant History. Jesse explains the craziness of Acceleration of Suguri X-Edition and Adam talks Harms Way and his latest Android addiction, Zombies Live. We also give our thoughts on the new Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Shadow Mode DLC.

Then in our “Let’s Play Together” segment, Jesse and Adam delve deeper into Hard Corp: Uprising for some sweet, sweet Run ‘n’ Gun action.

All this plus the news on Barrel Roll #106 - “Everybody is Sickisode”.
