Well, we did it. 100 episodes. And we are celebrating in style. Joining us this week is Mark “Beige” Whiting, George “Regulus” Kokoris, and Chris “RocGaude” Whittington. Yes, it is an all star cast and then some. Several other familiar voices and listeners have sent in their two cents for this momentous occasion. This week, we take a look at some truly bizarre gaming news and announcements, get very topical, and look back at some of our favorite EBP memories. It’s our longest and greatest show yet, filled with special guests and the odd surprise or two. Thanks for helping us make it to 100 episodes!
Show #99 – Bat Brain
Posted in Podcast on August 28, 2009 by ajguyWhat was that?! Over there! In the shadows. I saw him! It’s… David “Swordguy” Winn. He’s joining Mike and Ajguy this week to discuss some of the more obscure games out there. We also confirm some more old rumors, and talk about a little game called Batman: Arkham Asylum.
SoS members! Get in on Episode 100!
Posted in Blog Post on August 27, 2009 by ajguyIn a move that totally justifies my three digit file name format that I started with two years ago, we are approaching our 100th episode of the Exploding Barrel Podcast! It has been an amazing experience to create the show as we strive to create one of the best amature gaming podcasts on the web. But I feel the show really took off once we started having other members of the Squadron of Shame on the show as guests. Your unique voices and perspectives have made the show a unique experience week to week, and for that Mike and I are truly grateful.
As much as I’d love to have all of you participate in our 100th episode, I don’t think my computer could handle that much data. So, I’m asking all SoS members who ever ever participated in EBP to send in an audio snippet. You could talk about some of your favorite moments from the show, favorite things you got to do on the show, or whatever.
So here’s how this works. If you can call a US number for free, just click this link and use the call widget there (wordpress won’t let me post it). This will connect you to a special voicemail inbox I set up to record your comments for easy insertion to the podcast. Those of you who are international, just record however you’d like and email me your file (or throw it in the FTP transfer and let me know). Please have your sumbissions in by September 3rd. I’ll be editing and posting the show the following day.
Thanks again for your contributions. You guys are such a big part of what makes this show a success and why we’re here after 100 episodes.
Show #98 – A Complex Issue
Posted in Podcast on August 23, 2009 by ajguyMike and Ajguy fly solo to bring you the news out of Gamescom and Blizzcon! Rumors are laid to rest in spades this week (spoiler, they were true). We also get very thoughtful in this week’s Let’s Go Topical!
Show #97 – Shin-o-gu Boogaloo
Posted in Podcast on August 14, 2009 by ajguyComing off an ego boost, Mike has seen fair to join us mortals (being Shinogu, Beige, and Ajguy) for another podcast. And he has bestowed upon us another “Either Or.” We also begin to countdown to the big 100 with a special edition of the Great American Ajguy Quiz.
Show #96 – Old School
Posted in Podcast on August 8, 2009 by tolkotoMike and Ajguy are flying solo once again as Ajguy settles into his new apartment. But he drove back to Ohio just for you, dear listeners, so that you may have a show. This week, we look at console rumors, the evils and Activision, and why reviewers are wrong about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Reshelled.
Show #95 – Epic Mickey?!
Posted in Podcast on August 1, 2009 by ajguyBeige joins in for this week’s epic discussion about the rumored Warren Spector game codenamed Epic Mickey. We also take a look at some PR backlash, Yakuza bru-ha-ha, and a double dose of good news surrounding Microsoft’s Summer of Arcade. Also, Mike debuts a new segment, Let’s Go Topical! Where ya curleh mustache at?!
Show #94 – Name That Tune
Posted in Podcast on July 24, 2009 by ajguyMike is feeling both musical and forgetful today. Suffer along with A.J. and Pete “AngryJedi” Davison. We also get our splode on with Splosion Man, the first release of the Summer of Arcade. And Mike debuts his nefarious new segment, “Either Or”.
Show #93 – Through the Years
Posted in Podcast on July 17, 2009 by ajguyJoey “Shinogu” Chiu joins us for, *sniffle*, the last entry in the games of years past. Listeners to our show should not be surprised by the outcome. We also have June’s NPD numbers, the UFC’s latest match up, new NXE features, and more on the suddenly (and happily) relevant world of Monkey Island.
Show #92 – Look Behind You!
Posted in Blog Post on July 10, 2009 by ajguyAjguy’s back, and he brought Beige, Regulus, and MJPilon with him! Along with Mike (or Tolkoto, if we’re going to keep the whole handle thing going), they look at the year 2007, and pick the best game from one of the best years gaming has ever given us. Also, the brothers confess their love for Tales of Monkey Island, and the praises of Battlefield 1943 are sung (as long as we can find a server).
