Bonus Barrel - Gaming Pod

Bonus Barrel makes a bang this month... or something like that. We have an old friend return for an episode to talk about HORROR games! Seigi is on fire this week, coming up with sweet ideas for dating games, and has some very interesting ideas about survival horror games. Classic, good ol' Seigi. How do YOU play horror games? If you answer "Uh, I sit down and just play it?" then you're DOING IT WRONG!

Bonus Barrel starts off with a BANG (Slam?) with a fan submitted question. We're tasked to weigh on a very important issue. We open the news barrel and discuss some news but the real meat of the episode is our discussion the recent "top 100 games of all time " list created by Edge Magazine. It's an interesting list, and a wonderful conversation starter.. and converse we do. It's a strange list to be sure so please check the list out below as well!

Bonus Barrel time! Life is heating up, and by that I mean we get a second gamer Christmas, one I feel less hype for over here, and that is the Tokyo Game Show! News is pouring out of it and we have a lot to talk about. It wouldn't be the BB if we ONLY talked about news, so this episode gives some history and context for the TGS, as well as some offbeat discussions including Seigi Vs Rob on stories and cutscenes in games round 165. Also some DELIGHTFUL Captain N impressions.

News in this episode:

-New Nintendo President

-Amiibo Mega Man collection support

-Shovel Knight DLC

-Jotun

-Last of Us 2 leak?

-Dark Souls III
