Barrel Roll! #125 – “The Burger Place or the Hedgehog?”
On the one-hundred and twenty-fifth episode of the Barrel Roll Podshow, the guys finally answer the eternal question: “Are you talking about the burger place or the hedgehog?”
Jesse and Adam talk a little more about Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon, but since we covered that in depth last time, they try not to dwell on it for too long. Adam and Jonah gave the 2D Minecraft game Terraria a try, with mixed results. Jesse tries to explain the weirdness found in the Catherine demo, and goes on to tell us why mascot characters need to shut the hell up from his experience with the Ms. Splosion Man demo.
There is even more weirdness when Jonah tries to explain the punchtime explosion present in Zeno Clash and the genre blending of Hinterland. Adam also does his best to explain what is going on in Solar 2, then moves on to the not-Castlevania game Soul of Darkness.
So in other words, we actually played a lot of games this week. Oh yeah, and Monday Night Combat was in there somewhere.

Barrel Roll! #81 – “King’s Quest: Blood on the Sand”
On a very special eighty-first episode of “Barrel Roll! A Video Game Podcast”, Jesse has been lost in the wilderness. A sketchy VHS tape may be the only clue as to his whereabouts. That is, if the mysterious creatures lurking in the forests of the Pacific Northwest haven’t already got to him.
In his absence, Jonah has been joined by WingDamage Junior Editor Russ “The Bus” Walsh and Wesley “Blood On the Sand” Johnson. They are here to kick ass and play video games, and they’re all out of video games.

Review: Monday Night Combat (XBLA)
When I first heard of Monday Night Combat, I awaited its release cautiously. I’m not saying that the game looked bad when it first came to my attention, but I wasn’t sure I could trust the folks at Uber Entertainment to deliver on such a bizarre concept.
As some one who has a difficult time playing a Call of Duty match type any more complicated then “SHOOT ALL THE DUDES”, I approached the supposed “Tower Defense Shooter” with cautious optimism.
