On this, the one-hundred and thirty-sixth episode of the Barrel Roll podshow, Adam Anania joins us from Japan with tales of old cell phone games and magic.

It’s not all meat buns and field days though. Jonah, Jesse and Wes are also here to bring you the latest in games for the Playstation. The first one. You know, like Mega Man Legends and Die Hard Trilogy. Speaking of Mega Man, Adam gave Dr. Wily’s Revenge a whirl, and got some time in with Gargoyle’s Quest on the 3DS Virtual Console as well. Jesse brings more Xenoblade Chronicles talk and recommends checking out Michelle’s article about the game. He also talks Solatorobo: Red the Hunter, which it turns out is a baby game for babies, but still kind of fun.

For the MMO fans in the audience (insert crickets here), Jonah gave Rift a try. In a desperate bid to avoid talking more Disgaea 4, which he is still obsessed with, he also started his playthrough of Rock of Ages. Our “Let’s Play Together” segment returns once again for some controller swapping, colossi hunting adventurin’ with Jonah and Jesse’s excursion into Shadow of the Colossus HD.

In the news we discuss the rumors of Yakuza of the End leaving Japan, the possible return of PaRappa the Rapper and Nippon Ichi’s new game The Witch and the Hundred Cavalrymen. All this, plus the new games this week on Barrel Roll #136, “Shadow of the HD Colossus”.

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!
