June 09, 2015 11:00 - 1 hour - 184 MBThe guys expect to have a short podcast, but fuck it up and just keep talking. Paul’s computer hates Swery65 games so instead of trying D4 he’s just been playing a lot of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Hank’s not sure if he wants to play it which turns into a conversation about open world games. Also, they’re kinda over the hill with GTA V and Heroes of the Storm. Instead, Paul’s been spending some quality time with his 3DS; playing Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures, SteamWorld Dig, and Demon Ki...

Burning Barrel Podcast: Episode 145 - SparDOGcus
April 14, 2015 11:00 - 2 hours - 216 MBWe’ve been gone for two weeks! Where, you might ask? Well… nowhere! While not podcasting, we’ve been playing video games like Killing Floor 2, Crypt of the NecroDancer and Heroes of the Storm. Speaking of Heroes of the Storm, eSports and ESPN invite Blizzard into their domain as the Heroes of the Dorm tournament happened over the weekend so we discuss some of that as well. Hank went to see Ex Machina and White God (written review can be found here). Konami basically implodes, Steam pisses o...
Burning Barrel Podcast: Episode 144 - Movie Secret

Paul plays Battlefield Hardline and Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number while Hank checked out Yoot Tower (yeah, I dunno either) and goes hard in Heroes of the Storm.

January 27, 2015 12:00 - 2 hours - 208 MBPaul and Hank spend a lot of their time this week playing Diablo III: Reaper of Souls and loving every minute of it. Due to this, Paul revisits Diablo II to his disappointment. Speaking of disappointment, BloodLust Shadowhunters fails to impress in its current state as well.

January 15, 2015 12:00 - 3 hours - 288 MBDue to real-life making scheduling harder for Paul and Nathan to get together frequently, Hank (@iam3Dhomer) joins Paul for a new era of podcasting history to talk a whole lot of movies and games.

Burning Barrel Podcast: Episode 135 - Fury-ous
October 21, 2014 11:00 - 3 hours - 367 MBPaul plays more Alien: Isolation and, while still liking it, discovers just how “gamey” it can be. Nathan dives into The Evil Within and gets Paul to commit to playing more of it since it apparently gets playable (maybe?).

August 02, 2014 05:36 - 1 hour - 62.8 MBAlthough Yacht Club Games has a single game under their name, many of the members have a history of creating games under company WayForward Technologies combining modern game-making with retro game sensibilities and homage. We were lucky enough to steal some time from David D’Angelo and Ian Flood of Yacht Club Games to discuss Shovel Knight, the effects of YouTube as advertisement, using Kickstarter as a funding platform and thoughts about Shovel Knight related spin-off games!

July 15, 2014 11:00 - 4 hours - 117 MBA formal apology: it seems that our absence has created a rift in humanity that has resulted in racially charged riots, “gamers” being shitty people, “feminists” being equally as shitty people, celebrity pictures getting leaked and JonTron calling someone a name on twitter.

June 10, 2014 11:00 - 3 hours - 198 MBNathan still is without internet, so because of this the whole podcast is recorded old school over THE PHONE!

Paul, on the other hand, finally beats Dark Souls 2, plays a healthy amount of Wolfenstein: The New Order, Transistor and also has some first impressions on Watch Dogs (WITH NO “_” BETWEEN THE WORDS!).

The Pixel Response: Episode 122 - KrazStorm
May 27, 2014 11:00 - 4 hours - 180 MBGodzilla roars back into our hearts with the new 2014 release. How was it? Well, we talk a solid hour or so of it (including what some might call spoilers but, c’mon, you aren’t going to a Godzilla movie for “story”, right?).
