“I had a concept that the music for Metroid should be created not as game music. . . . I wanted to create the sound without any distinctions between music and sound effects.”
This quote from a Gamasutra interview with Hip Tanaka (composer of the original Metroid) sums up the beginning of the atypical sound the Metroid series is now known for. While it has definitely evolved as the series progressed through the changes in composers and hardware, the spirit and tone of the original has mostly remained throughout.

Barrel Roll! #128 - “Metroid-A-Palooza”
On a very special episode of “Barrel Roll! A Video Game Podcast”, Jonah, Jesse and Adam Milecki talk about Metroid.
OK, that might be a little bit of an understatement. They don’t just talk about some of the games, they go through all of the games. It’s a super sized episode of ridiculous proportions and may have nearly been too big to process in Jonah’s audio editing software. We also announce the winner to our Humble Bundle Giveaway.
All music is taken from “Harmony of A Hunter“.

Barrel Roll! #117 - “Batman Jones”
On a very special one-hundred and seventeenth episode of the Barrel Roll Podshow, we are joined by not one, not three, but two Adams. Tomfoolery results.
In our standard issue “Games We’ve Played This Week” section of the show, Jonah, Jesse, and the Adams discuss a bunch of old crap that only the retro crowd probably cares about. This includes Super Mario World, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Mega Man Legends 2, X-Com, Yar’s Revenge, and the Metroid Prime Trilogy. There are also a few newer games discussed, like Inside A Star-Filled Sky and SpaceChem. Also, Jonah’s guilt drove him to purchase and play The Witcher. Also, not a new game.
In the news, we discuss our thoughts on Gotham City Imposters, and our hopes that it is a fun video game. There is also more Monster Hunter and Minecraft talk. I mean, this is Barrel Roll afterall!

Barrel Roll! #37 - “Come And Knock On Our Door”
On a very special thirty-seventh episode of the hit internet dramedy, “Barrel Roll!”, the guys are in a real pickle when Wes accidentally has two dates on the same night! It’s up to the rest of the gang to dress up like waiters and fool the unsuspecting dates that Wes is a real “Stand-Up” sort of guy!
He’s also been playing Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, which he gives a glowing review. Jonah has been playing a mysterious game he can’t talk about and a little bit of Trine. Brittany continues to run her highly successful farming scheme in Harvest Moon: The Tree of Tranquility and Jesse has once again gone back to Metroid Prime Trilogy, as well as continued his dragon training in Breath of Fire IV.
