Do you guys remember Captain Caveman?

On a very special thirty-first episode of “Barrel Roll! A Video Game Podcast”, Wes asks that thought provoking question. Sadly, we are too busy talking about PAX Pox, our first PAX giveaway, and random gaming nonsense to pay it much attention.

None of us have been playing as much this week compared to normal, but Jesse did find time to start his play-through of the excellent 2D action/RPG: Muramasa, Wes has been obsessing over his iPhone games, and Jonah… well let’s just say his band of Hobbits is just getting off the ground.

We also see the return of “Let’s Play Together”, our segment that focuses on multiplayer games. Jesse and Jonah played co-op through the newly released Contra: ReBirth and give their thoughts on what it takes to be a manly Contra man.

In the news we discuss NIS’s decision to release discounted version of their PSP games on the Playstation Network (for a limited time), the possibility of a new HD 2D Sonic the Hedgehog game actually being good, and a whole lot more. There is even a brief Mega Man News Roundup.

We also take a little bit of time to reminisce about our favorite console, The Dreamcast, in honor of our big Dreamcast retrospective day.

All this an a whole lot more on the latest episode.
