We’re back with a new episode in our Video Game RPG rotation, and this time we’re in Hell! Not literally, though. We’re talking about Blizzard’s hack n’ slash RPG, Diablo, which debuted in December 1996 and has remained one of the greatest game franchises of all time. We hit upon the origins of the game, the best moments from the story, and why we’re still a little wary of Adria. Join us in the grind for the best loot (and the best dye job) as we cover the three games over the past twenty years, and what we hope to see in the next 34 years when Diablo IV is released.

In the Age of Dragons, would they eat us with catsup? That's a good question but not the question we are discussing this week. We delve into the Dragon Age trilogy and discuss plotlines, storylines, character arcs, and basically spoil everything. No, we really do spoil all the storylines, unlike catsup which doesn't spoil. There's a reason Dragon Age has won multiple awards including Game of the Year, Best Roleplaying Game, multitude of awards for music and voice acting, and basically everything in between. Yep, we fangirl hard this episode.
ENCHANTMENT!

We kick off our new rotation on video game RPGS with a look at Square Enix's critically acclaimed franchise, "Final Fantasy." Whether you're a fan of VII or X, the hosts have a discussion for you. We look at our all-time favorite games, discuss our favorite characters, and delve into why anyone would need a sword as big as their entire body (here's looking at you, Cloud). We also talk about our love of the music, and compare the combat mechanics throughout the entire franchise and changes the fans have witnessed over the last 30 years. Grab your favorite chocobo and take a listen, it's going to be a crazy ride!

Prepare yourself for this episode-- things get a little weird. Our hosts talk about the comparisons between Judeo-Christian Mythos and other mythologies, including Egyptian Mythology! Are the stories found in the Bible an adaptation of other older myths, or did the scribes of old cheat off the polytheistic mythologies' homework? Also, there's a discussion regarding Gods getting their genitalias cut off, along with a cautionary tale as to why you should be careful when eating lettuce with mayo after sex. Bonus content includes one of our friends popping in for some MTG shenanigans.

This week, your favorite hosts (or hosts you tolerate) discuss Celtic mythology and legends. Ever wondered what is the origin story of the fairies? Ever truly wanted to mispronounce an entire language? In this episode, we've got you, and we may have figured out where the phrase "keeping your cool" originates. No, no one googled to see if we were correct; we are content in our illogical conjecture.
Make sure to check out our other episodes where we don't insult an entire culture's language, and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform! We're everywhere!

Aaron, our friend and resident actual barbarian, joins us for an in-depth discussion into the differences between roleplay and roll play and how the two are often intrinsically related to one another. Everyone plays an active role even in their own life but luckily we have games where we can roll stats to suit the role we wish to play, whether it's stat build domination or putting the character in the character. Don't let the big words and excellent punctuation fool you- this episode is filled with the chicanery and levels of goblin speak to which you are accustomed.
