September 12, 2016 04:29 - 23 minutes - 21.4 MBWe are back! Sort of. After a short series of failed attempts, Seigi and Rob finally got it right and have gained remote podcast recording abilities. This week's episode was originally supposed to be just a test, but due to popular demand for new BB, we decided to release this as new type of BB: Mini BB! Sony anounced new PS4 versions and Nintendo gave us what we didn't ask for yet again, so we talk about that. Also, we weren't quite done with amiibos yet and as inevatably expected, we ta...

Bonus Barrel 89 - Game Genres
July 18, 2016 21:39 - 1 hour - 85.1 MBNo Leff this week but who needs'em? (We still want him here though). This week we ignorantly talk about Pokemon Go as if we've played it. At this point we have, not that helps too much. What else? We talk a bit about Majora's Mask, the Nintendo Mini, and just who exactly owns Pokemon? We take Shelby through the list of games that are coming on the Nintendo Mini and see what s he's played! And this weeks topic we have a random discussion on game genres!

June 27, 2016 15:16 - 1 hour - 86.2 MBWe finally get back to that Uncharted discussion! Some people out there are claiming it's not a game.

Bonus Barrel 84 - Simulation Games
June 06, 2016 21:17 - 1 hour - 70 MBBoom! BB time! What's up this week? We try to come up with a definition for simulation games that satisfies us! Seems a bit self centered, doesn't it? Anyhoo- what else? RPGs on the go vs the console, more NX rumors, Project X Zone 2, Overwatch, Trails of Cold Steel. What's up with no Pokemon Snap U? Collectors edition addiction is a real thing. We also talk about Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing, Minecraft, Heroes of the Storm, Clash Royale and Seduce me 2. And more, likely. Check out our you...
Bonus Barrel 83 - Achievements
May 30, 2016 15:13 - 1 hour - 71.3 MBA week is a long time not have a show, right? People are starving for more BB. AND IT'S BACK.

Bonus Barrel 81 - Favourite Weapons
May 09, 2016 10:57 - 1 hour - 70.1 MBWe're back for yet another episode of Bonus Barrel. We start off strong by going off topic and talking about the new Power Rangers movie costumes, as well as the sci-fi and fantasy genres and some other similar things. Comics too. I promise it's only for a few minutes! Also, Leff can't read comics. Mighty No. 9 has a release date, but do we believe it? NX cart rumour.. the only good rumour so far. Persona 5, need I say more? A whoooole lot of Cave Story talk, followed by our weapons topic! ...
Bonus Barrel 80 - eSports
May 02, 2016 15:12 - 1 hour - 70.6 MBWill Rob finally give up on trying to get Seigi buy a PS4? I think it's time to just admit defeat (he's such a naysayer). We talk about some recent games Rob has been playing; Dangandonpa 2 and uh.. that might be it. Nintendo has had a lot of news this week: Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing for Mobile, the financial report, NX and Zelda for March 2017 now, no playable first party games (save Zelda) at E3, no NX information, Wii U's barren wasteland and more. We still love Nintendo though. ...

Bonus Barrel 78 - Pokemon and Game Critics
April 18, 2016 15:31 - 1 hour - 67 MBJust when you think the BB Crew can't get any nerdier, this episode we accidentally spend almost 30 minutes talking about the ethics of pokemon, pokemon we hate, how Ash sucks and the manga is awesome, and what would competitive pokemon players be like in world where pokemon exist? Mostly terrible. We also talk a bit about Dark Souls 3, Amazing Katamari Damacy and a new Sailor Moon mobile game. And the topic inspired by the 10 year anniversary for the AVGN.

And lastly, we talk about Miitomo. It's fun. So fun that Rob cop...

Then things really HEAT up when Rob finally gets to talk about Pokken because that's what matters. Creep Corner this week is Cat Island. What is Cat Island? Are we able to comprehend it? Next up, we talk about those fake NX controller leaks and Nintendo...
Bonus Barrel 74 - Myths and Legends (Part 1)
March 21, 2016 19:53 - 1 hour - 57.5 MBBonus Barrel dives into the world of made-up legends, myths and rumors in video games. There's so many, and because of that, expect this to have more than one part. The topic today covers a lot of pokemon myths: Pikablu, Mew, Down + B, Pokegods, Bill's secret Garden, Missing No and maybe more. Leff is very proper, and so he brings in the rumors of naked Samus and Lara Croft.

Well, we do so with today's topic we talk about a lot of our favorite tracks from various games, as well as giving shoutouts to some of Rob's favorite video game composers. It's a lot of fun! Or at least.. some fun. Ironically, there's an issue with the sound towards the end - my bad. So what else? Leff and Rob discuss the ethics of how the children in Fire Emblem are conceived and r...
Bonus Barrel 71 - Game Music (Part 1)
February 29, 2016 16:37 - 1 hour - 70 MBBonus Barrel takes on game music. Finally! I'm kind of surprised we haven't touched on game music as a topic before now, but here we are. We love game music and it's definitely going to be more than one episode. We talk about what video game music means to us, how it affects the game, how it stands up as music on it's own and Seigi forces us to create a top 10 ost list (which is quite hard). Also on today's episode: Rob talks a bit about Fire Emblem Fates and answers his own question. We pit...

January 18, 2016 16:20 - 1 hour - 65 MBBonus Barrel takes a look at the "controversial" game Undertale. Well.. Rob and Seigi do. After we talk about news and some miscellaneous topics we talk about all the things we like about this game. And some things we don't like. Is this a perfect game? Is it the.. BEST GAME EVER?
