Barcode Podcast 2.0 - Beer, Games, & Nonsense CraigMakk & Mike Lock

Welcome back to BarcodePodcast 2.0! This is entirely just an episodic rebirth of "Mike's Rants-olutions" from BCP 1.0. He's angry, and he has a microphone....what else can you do but sit down, listen, and hope he tuckers himself out?!

Want to hear CraigMakk, Mike Lock, and Reese talk a lot of shit about any games or series that everyone loves that they hate? How about a game mechanic that the rest of the world thinks is awesome that they want to scrub off the face of the earth? I mean, they also discuss the insane first Sony PS5 press conference, so that's cancels it out a bit. Plus, they welcome Special Guest Joe Feldman from Abomination Brewing to save them from having the nerdiest podcast conversation in the world. Get ready for some beer/gaming/nerd talk with BarcodePodcast 2.0.

Welcome back to "BarcodePodcast 2.0", your podcast for Beer, Games, and Nonsense! Quarantine is still hitting everyone hard, and the guys are ready to play some damn Animal Crossing.

In this episode, CraigMakk, Mike Lock, and Reese are joined by Joe Getz, owner of Kurant Cider. As always, you'll hear about a ton of craft breweries that you can support. Mike even mentions all the beers that he has to make....whether he wants to or not. Ready to learn more about the Tommy Tallarico "Amico" Fiasco? Or hear the TURRRRRBO version of the age-old "Best Franchise of All Time" argument? You'll certainly never be prepared to learn about the best character creation feature of all time, at least according to Mike. By the end of this mess, Joe will wish he never responded to Mike's text. Oh, and stick around to the very end...you will absolutely have that song earwormed right into your brain. So get ready to level up with "BarcodePodcast 2.0!"

Don't forget to check out BarcodePodcast's Showcase Beers:
Lock: Broken Goblet Wasteland Wanderer Neapolitan Pastry Stout
Reese: Miller High Life and Founders
Joe: Sly Fox Schuylkill River Trail Ale

Holy crap, these guys again?! No, we didn't forget how to number our episodes. And no, we didn't die and have our RSS feed pirated by some hacker. We're actually BAAAAAACK!! This is BCP 2.0, the relaunch of your favorite podcast about Beer, Games, and Nonsense! CraigMakk & Mike Lock are joined in the studio by OG guest and new official co-host, Reese! For those of you who said, "Only a worldwide pandemic could ever drag Mike back into the studio," be careful what you wish for...

In this all-new relaunch pilot episode, the Barcode Boys engage in a lively conversation about the impact of COVID on the beer and video game industry, talk about the rise of indie games over the last decade, witness the triumphant return of Angry Mike, learn which co-host is scared of the dark, hear about their official Pandemic Gamer Backlog, and learn their favorite games of last year and most anticipated of this year. Plus, it wouldn't be a BarcodePodcast if there weren't some outstanding Showcase Beers:

Lock: (Lock's own) Broken Goblet Strawberry Cream Ale
Makk: (Lock's own) Broken Goblet Carle the Great Russian Imperial Stout aged in Wild Turkey Bourbon Whiskey Barrels (whew....that's a mouth full!)
Reese: MGD and Founders KBS

Welcome back to the BARCODEPODCAST!! Mike Lock & CraigMakk are dusting off the mics, firing up the ol' mixer, and ready to get back in the saddle for you! They even did some serious research to make it sound legit: in this episode, they break down the history of video games and consoles, and rate some of their favorite from each generation. They went so long, production had to split it into two parts. Which means you'll actually get another episode in less than two years...we think. Whatever, enjoy this while you have it! Grab a cold one, because we think the boys will teach you a thing or two about a thing or two. Plus you'll learn a little about what they've been up to in the interim !
