Barrel Roll #162 – “Am I the Skull to Your Bulk?”
This week on Barrel Roll, Jonah has gone missing and it’s up to Jesse, Adam Milecki, Mike Bachmann, and a mischievous dog named Scooby Doo to uncover the truth. Do these meddling kids have what it takes? Tune in to find out. They might just get some help from a familiar billionaire.
This episode is brought to you by the letter “R”. Adam Milecki flexes his obscurity muscle with discussion of Receiver and the PlayStation 2 strategy title, Ring of Red. Not to be one-upped, Jesse doubles up on rhythm games with Rhythm Thief & the Emperor’s Treasure (starring Phantom R!) and Theatrhythm Final Fantasy (or is it Theathythm Thinal Thantathy?). Mike talks about Batman games (read: Batman comics) and takes advantage of crazy steam sales with Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit.
Stay tuned after the end and you might just hear Mike demonstrate in excruciating detail that he knows way more about Power Rangers lore than the writers of the show. All this and more on episode #162 of Barrel Roll: “Am I the Skull to Your Bulk?”.

Barrel Roll! #139 - “Which One Do I Shoot?”
It’s a triumphant return to form when Jesse, Wes, Adam and Jonah get together once again to talk about video game related topics.
Adam Milecki (aka Adam 2) has been playing an awful lot of Dark Souls and gives us the rundown. He and Jonah discuss the nitty gritty of it versus its predecessor, Demon’s Souls, at least to the extent that someone (Jonah) can, having tried to play it while watching a nine-month-old. As it turns out, that is not as much as he would like. Not having had much time to play anything, Jonah did at least get to start a Titan’s Quest campaign with some friends, and managed to rustle up a four person team of gladiatorial badassery. Which translates to clicking on things.
Jesse started, and completed, Batman: Arkham City between this and the last show. He goes in-depth as to how it managed to become even better than Arkham Asylum without giving away any spoilers, so calm down nerds. Speaking of spoilers, Wes finally played through Bioshock, and that we do go into spoilers on. Why? Because it came out in 2007 and you should have all played it by now.
All this plus news and new games coming out this week on Barrel Roll #139, “Which One Do I Shoot?”
