This is the 200th track in this Soundcloud account and to celebrate this quasi-milestone, this special episode of Bonus BB is a recut of episodes 100, 101, 102 and 103 of Bonus Barrel, where we revealed our top 100 games of all time (from back in November 2016). I've listened to these episodes many times, so editing this one allowed to to fix a few audio and transition issues and also have the whole list in one single run. This will probably the last Bonus BB for a while, making these takes a lot of time and I've run out of pre-recorded material and ideas.

Special guesst P2! Man, we love that guy - and he's back. WHAT A TREAT. Who doesn't love that guy? No Leff this week though. Is it personal? This we week we play a game with P2, talk Socks as underwear or not? An epic misspeaking by Rob enrages Shelby and starts an EXPLOSIVE (mild) tiff that spans .. a minute or two? We almost talk about TGS, Rob complains about nonsense, and so forth. The main event though - The Twisted Tales of Spike McFang. Who's hyped? I AM!
