On a very special seventy-sixth episode of Barrel Roll! A Video Game podcast, we hold an intervention for Adam's newfound addiction to Xbox Points. Sure, he claims that he can quit anytime he wants. But looking at his Xbox Gamecard Scores, we see that he got all the points. ALL OF THEM. In "Whence We Played A Video Game", we discuss Assasin's Creed 1 & 2 and how bad it is to follow those up with Prince of Persia. Jesse and Jonah talk more Dragon Quest IX and Portal. In the news we talk about all of the crazy Capcom announcements from Comicon, why we still don't give a crap about Kinect and Adam has a hard time keeping "Alice in Wonderla...

On a very special seventy-third episode of our video game show Barrel Roll!, Wes is once again looking for love in all the wrong internet chat forums. Jesse tries to explain to him that "allzyagottado is..." but never gets to finish his thoughts before we start in with the gaming talk. This is all pre-show, of course, and has no bearing on the episode at large. The games we've been playing this week: Sin & Punishment: Star Successor Deathsmiles Alan Wake Monkey Island (various) Shatter Puzzle Agent In the news we talk about Hulu coming to consoles, connectivity between games, SEGA bringing back more old games and more.

10 May 2010 at 10:00pm
On a very special sixty-fifth episode of Barrel Roll! A Video Game Podcast, the guys have spent most of their time hunting monsters... again. But even with being swamped (and by that I mean fighting giant amphibious monsters IN a swamp), we did manager to see the recently released Mega Man fan film and play a small selection of other games, which we proceed to talk about. [More...] Among them were Plants Vs Zombies, which you can now read Dave's excellent review of, Super Street Fighter IV and After Burner Climax.

by podcast@wingdamage.com
3 May 2010 at 5:00pm
On a very special sixty-forth episode of Barrel Roll! A Video Game Podcast, we were way too busy playing Monster Hunter Tri to play any other games. OK, that is only a half truth. We did try to squeeze in some Super Street Fighter IV and Mega Man 10 DLC while we were at it. This week we are joined by our newest WingDamage contributor, Michelle Baldwin. You have likely heard us talk about her fabulous gaming website, Pioneer Project on previous episodes of the podcast. Michelle is our resident Monster Hunter expert and joins us for the "Monster Hunter Tri-Stravaganza" that takes place in our "Let's Play Together" segment. In the news we ...

by podcast@wingdamage.com
26 Apr 2010 at 6:00pm
On a very special sixty-third episode of "Barrel Roll! A Video Game Podcast", Jesse must find his missing son the only way he knows how... By taking a shower, brushing his teeth, finding a lost teddy bear and slowly opening a car door. If only he can do it fast enough. In "What We Played This Week", Jesse finds out he does not like Heavy Rain. He and Adam have also started up Monster Hunter Tri on the Wii, which they are enjoying (which falls under our "Let's Play Together" segment). Adam has also picked up Mega Man 4 on the virtual console, so that he can play the game on every conceivable platform. Jonah decided to give the original Go...

On a very special sixty-second episode of "Barrel Roll! A Video Game Podcast", we discuss our Top 10 Birds of the Year (thus far).
