*Update* – The original file was corrupted and about a half hour of the episode was silence. Please re-download the episode, and don’t forget to enter the drawing for our PAX Pack Giveaway #2 by answering the question presented at the end of the show, “Which one counts as mine?”

On a very special thirty-second episode of Barrel Roll! A Video Game Podcast, the WingDamage crew of Men Without Hats gather to discuss the Uncharted 2 multiplayer Beta, the sword swinging 2D extravaganza that is “Muramasa”, and more iPhone game love from our own regular guest host Wesley Johnson.

While most of us have been playing co-op on “The Beatles: Rock Band”, Nate has been busy with the forgotten N64 gem “Beetle Adventure Racing”. Jesse and Jonah also multiplayered their way through the Xbox 360 release of “Raiden IV” for the return of our Let’s Play Together segment (two weeks in a row!).

In the news, Reggie hints at a new Kid Icarus game, giving Jonah a chance to do a dramatic reading of his quote. Not to be outdone, Jesse sets the stage for our review of Spyborgs by giving you a taste of the kind of PR letter that comes with review copies of games. Not that we’re complaining, we all got a kick out of it and I think that was their goal.

We also talk about the release of the Jedi Knight games on Steam and Jesse gives us the Mega Man News Roundup. All this and more on the latest Barrel Roll. Now, you can dance. Ya know… if you want to.

Don’t forget, this is also the home of our PAX Pack Giveaway #2! Listen to the episode for your clue on what to respond in the comments to enter!

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.
