We’ve got a real Barn-burner for you this week! (Apologies.) This week, famed ex-1up editor and current Scroll editor Ray Barnholt visits to talk about his online magazine — don’t call it a “midzine” — and his work on the upcoming Retro Game Challenge 2 translation. After the interview, Tom decides to Eat Lead for $10, Justin gets his Pokémon ready for Pokégeddon, Kaz endorses Bulletstorm, and Nick is forever silenced by his new money hat. (Congrats, buddy!) And to all of the fans sending in voicemails, keep ‘em coming! Plus, Hypercubes, nut crunchers, talking dogs, Magicka: Vietnam, Trajectile memories and Garbodor.

This podcast is a celebration of the social aspects of gaming. We were “smash brothers” long before we became the ‘Pack, and we continue to game with each other on a regular basis. If you look beyond all of the media sensationalism and message board wankery, you’ll discover that video games can help form bonds that will last forever. We’re living proof of that – we’re not jaded journalists (not yet, at least), we’re not tournament players and we’re certainly not fanboys. We’re just folks who love to play and discuss games with each other, and we hope to extend this friendship to our listeners with every installment.
