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!

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.

-New Nintendo President

-Amiibo Mega Man collection support
