This week on Bonus Barrel we take a trip back in time to a magical era where people would go to a building, pay money, and bring a game back with them for a set period of time. Game Renting is what the scholars called it. We look back at some games we rented that were significant to us, as well as some of the more popular rental chains and the nostalgia that comes with it. Also Leff tells perhaps one of the funniest stories on the show yet. Also we highlight a few new pick-ups this week and Rob gives his thoughts on Life is Strange now that it's over.
