Bonus Barrel - Gaming Pod

Welcome to this pulse-pouding episode of Bonus Barrel! In this episode we tackle a few things! We read some bot comments from our website, gab a bit about free to play games and move onto all kinds of news. We cover a lot, including the possibility of Ryu in Smash, Hoopa in Pokemon, Rob gets existential and we also talk about Guitar Hero Live(and a lot more). Amiinews is full of what you expect in Amiinews as well as Rob going on anger rant. Lastly we go to the topic of the show: games that started their series and are better than all their sequels. We're likely wrong but if you don't agree then let us know on twitter! (Note: A bit more swearing than usual, including more F-Bombs.)

Welcome to this episode of Bonus Barrel! In this episode we talk about ... Rare's Conker's Pocket Tales. This is a retro game released on the Gameboy Color way back in June, 1999. What a time! What a time to be alive. Can you imagine the anticipation you must have had to get this game home and rip it open? Well, we missed out on that experience as kids but we decided now is as good as any time to play this game. Did we love it or despise it? Is it the greatest game ever, or a sad disappointment?

Welcome to this extremely exciting episode of Bonus Barrel! In this episode we talk about a few news articles(that is not related to Nintendo Direct) and then dive in to discuss the events revealed in the latest Nintendo Direct. The Smash announces were exciting - especially the Smash Ballot so we all brought in 2-3 suggestions of characters that would be really cool to see in Smash. We also come up with a plan to get Seigi into a game.. to get him into Smash.. to finally have him attain his dream - to become an amiibo. We also argue about Mario vs Sonic (in a fight). We talk about all the other events of the show (Yoshi's Wooly World, SMTXFire Emblem, Pokemon Rumble, Puzzles and Dragons Mario, Street Pass Update, Animal Crossing and Mario Kart). It's all pretty fun! Music in today's episode: Chibi Ninja and We're all under the stars (Erik Skiff) https://soundcloud.com/eric-skiff Music jingle from Nintendo Direct.

Welcome to this episode of Bonus Barrel! In this episode we talk about the game.. Kero Blaster! Kind of a big deal if the hosts opinions count for anything.

Welcome to this episode of Bonus Barrel! In this episode we talk about DYNOWARZ - THE DESTRUCTION OF SPONDYLUS. It gets all caps because it's that epic. Seriously, what better topic to discuss for this mini Bonus Barrel then the most rad and gnarliest game we could think of? If you're not hyped to play Dynowarz then you are weird. If you're not hyped to listen to three adults talk about a game that came out when they were kids.. then you are probably super weird. There's nothing wrong with being weird, but you should still listen.

Welcome to this episode of Bonus Barrel! In this episode we talk about.. a lot of things. This is our longest yet. We tend to aim for an hour but there's was just so much to talk about! In our first segment we cover all kinds of news: Some stuff about Resident Evil Revelations 2, Ray Gigant Announcement, Dragon Quest Heroes, and the Final Fantasy Dissidia arcade - which quickly turns into a which is the best FF argument. We talk about some pick ups and then we move on to our newest segment "Here's why you should play this" (or Game and Tell). We each pick a game and bring it (without telling the others what it is) and try our best to convince them to play it. It's a lot of fun! Even if you don't like fun you should still listen because it will make you a better human being.

There is most definitely spoilers but .. a bit on the light side of spoilers compared to some of our other episodes. We talk about the dev, Ready At Dawn, and our experiences playing the game.

Welcome to this (mini) episode of Bonus Barrel! In this episode we talk about the not-that-recent news that there was, at the time at least, the possibility of The Legend of Zelda showing up on Netflix. Do we think it's a good idea, or do we think it's a GREAT idea? There's also a really cool rap somewhere in this shorter episode. It's not ours, it's a Zelda rap that I am sure is dear to everyones heart. Like and Follow us at https://www.facebook.com/BonusBarrel and https://twitter.com/BonusBarrel !
