Every week, a different gaming topic becomes the center of debate between AJ and Mike, brothers and lifelong gamers. But they’ll often squeeze in their other, geeky interests -- including movies and Disney theme parks. The Exploding Barrel Podcast is 10 years old, but its fire still burns bright.

Show #567 - 2020 Game of the Year / The Game of the Show
Mike and AJ present the penultimate episode of the Exploding Barrel Podcast. First we take a look back at 2020, a rough year overall, but not a bad year for gaming. Can you guess our game of the year? Then we take a look back at every game of the year winner since the show started in 2007 in order to crown the Exploding Barrel Game of the Show.

Show #566 - The Beginning of the End
Mike and AJ have a big announcement to make this episode. Yes, we’ve been on a hiatus, and it turns out there’s a reason. I’m still gonna make you listen to find out what’s up. ;P
But we also decided to take a look back at the Xbox One / PS4 generation now that Gen 9 or whatever it’s called is here. We hope you enjoy this stroll down memory lane!

Show #564 - Billions and Billions
Mike and AJ were surprised to learn that Microsoft is buying Bethesda for $7.5 billion. What does that mean for Xbox, Bethesda's franchises, and gaming in general? To Mike's delight, Amazon has announced Luna, their upcoming cloud gaming service. We also survived the Xbox Series X preorder experience.

Show #562 - Mari... D’oh!
Mike and AJ talk about all of the announcements from the Mario Direct. We’re getting Super Mario 3D All-Stars (yay!), but no Galaxy 2 (boo!) and not a lot of remastering happening (drat!). We also discuss the new Nvidia cards, the joys of Avengersing, and what it’s like to accidentally crash an airplane into your in-laws’ house.

Customer Reviews
Great Show!
I can't believe I just found this show! The only good part about being late to the party is having 200 episodes to catch up on! Keep up the good work, guys!
Ignore
I’d rather rub cheese graters against both ears simultaneously. This show sounds like Youngstown.
It's time to end
I used to love this show Mike and AJ used to be passionate gamers who were excited to talk to fellow gamers through this medium. I used to listen to this show without fail.. Slowly but surely, they began to mail it in. The shows got shorter, the hosts became disenfranchised, and AJ became an XBox fanboy the Nth degree. This show as great years ago, like a new puppy that you enjoy engaging with. But now, it seems like it's time to take it behind the woodshed, watch the sunset together, and put it out of its misery. Sad!
