Bonus Barrel - Gaming Pod

Boom! Bonus Barrel time. What's Bonus Barrel? Come on, we're on episode 45, you know by now. We talk about games, game news, and game-related topics. To cap off our DRAGON BALL themed month we're going to talk about a bunch of different DB/Z games that I happen to own. Maybe there's a few hidden gems in there? Also we tackle some news we heard about recently.

Note: This episode is largely a parody of "Xbros". If any hurt of the butt comes from this then please note that at least 1/3 of Bonus Barrel aplogizes.

Bam! Welcome back to BONUS BARREL today we discuss some badass pickups (LUNAR 2!!!!!), some news, and we decide it's about time to embrace the Xbone. In order to do so, we must know what it is to be an "xboner" so we take to the internet. We also bought a recent issue of the official Xbox magazine so that we can really get into the mind of those of the Xbox One. Will we finally be a true multi-plat gaming show? With this episode.. I believe we can finally say yes.

Bam! Welcome back to BONUS BARREL (or welcome for the first time if you are just discovering us)! We recover from E3 and talk about what we're still hyped about after the surprises are over. Does Seigi still feel badly about Nintendo? Can Rob finally convince him to buy a PS4? Will Leff mention historical games or history in general? We talk about our most hyped things, a few news that wasn't covered at the beginning of the week, the PC conference (a bit), and lastly we take a look at a few Wii U pickups that Seigi has. I believe one is definitely Bottom of the Barrel potential. ENJOY!

Whoa! What's this? An extra Bonus Barrel? In the spirit of E3 (A time known for sharing) we've done a little (long) show on the E3 press conferences. It was a really interesting and fun E3 and we have a lot to say about the conferences. How does Rob feel about his favorite game of all time getting a remake? How does Leff deal with knowing VII is better than VI? And Seigi - our resident Nintendo fanboy - deals with the bombshell(?) that Nintendo drops on the world.

Seriously - what an amazing E3. Let us know what you think!

Welcome to Bonus Barrel!

Big ol' episode this week! E3 is right around the corner and so, once again, we do not get to talk about Demos. That's okay because we talk about all kinds of stuff! Some of the things we talk about this episode: Splatoon Updates, Hearthstone patch coming. Street Fighter V, Hyrule warriors 3DS. We then move on and talk about the Occulus Rift, some E3 predictions (and hoping) and get in a huge discussion about character morality in games. This stems from a topic about Shadows of the Colossus. We also gab a bit about Nintendo Power and Gamefan. Seriously, there's a lot going on today so give it a listen!

Also - would Seigi buy a Ps4? And Rob makes a deal regarding the Xbone.

Welcome to Bonus Barrel!

More off topic - kinda. Well, our original topic of demos was pushed back again(mirroring reality!) but we go over some news, Seigi's experience at Symphony of the Goddess, Splatoon talk and a huge rant about amiibos (and a story about our crappy recent experience). There's still lots of fun to be had! So listen.. and have fun.
