How to Watch | Producer Stream: Escape (Room) Simulator

Hey Producers and Posh Slugs,

This month Krupa and Gav are going to have a bash at solving some escape rooms in one of Steam's favourite puzzle games, Escape Simulator.

We've done a few IRL escape rooms together over the years and they've been a mixture of measured puzzle-solving and utter chaos - so we might need all the help we can get in the chat!

We're going in completely blind and we ...

Ep.5: Reviewing Gideon's Big Lore Dump | Roundtable Hold

After defeating Godrick, we were treated to the game's first major lore dump. We heard a bunch of new names and places and concepts, so we thought we'd use this episode of Roundtable to go back all of it before heading deeper into Liurnia. We even have time to review our latest NPC mates, too.

Enjoy what is the biggest episode of Roundtable Hold yet!

EARLY ACCESS: RETRY: Elden Ring | Ep.11: Exploring Liurnia of the Lakes (South)

Also, do you smell prawns cooking?

Enjoy the episode!

Shield Up 241: Dinosaurs vs. Jedis

This week Krupa and Gav pit the Jurassic World trilogy up against the Star Wars sequel trilogy and decide which lacklustre sequel series is actually the most watchable. It's a tough job but someone's got to do it. 

Thanks to Scotty for sending in this week's main question. If you have any similar missions for us to solve, please send them to: bit.ly/ShieldUp

Meetup | Come Say “Hi” in Orlando!

Hey everyone,

This week Krupa and Gav are going to be out filming at Universal Studios in Orlando and more than a few of you asked if we could organise a little meetup while we're there.

We'd absolutely love to do this so we've arranged some downtime in our filming schedule to meet people for a quick drink on Saturday September 2nd, 5pm-6pm local time.

We'll be hang...

Lore MasterClass #1: Elden Ring 101 | Lecture Notes

Hey everyone, I saw a few people asking about this in chat and in comments last night.

So I thought I'd upload a PDF of last night's stream/lecture for you to take a look at. I was going to include my notes, but they were a little messy.

Let me know if this is something you'd like me to do in future, as it's something I can keep in mind when pulling together these presentations.

Also, just wanted to say thank you again to anyone who tuned in live last night or have already c...

Lore MasterClass #1: Elden Ring 101

Hey everyone, 

I'll be going live in 5 minutes with the first-ever Lore MasterClass lecture/seminar/stream. Not really sure what we're going to call these just yet.

But I'll be going over the Elden Ring basics. Some key ideas, characters, events, and more. It'll be a structured chat, but I want a big part of this to be us chatting and discussing what I'm presenting.

So if you're free, please drop-in and get involved in the chat and ask questions.

And if you can't ...

How to Watch | Producer Stream: Lies of P

Hey Producers and Posh Slugs,

It's a been a little bit, as we've been getting RETRY: Elden Ring up-and-running and some other new features here on the Patreon, like Roundtable Hold and Lore MasterClass.

But monthly streams are back!

Starting with... Lies of P. It's a new Soulslike where you essentially play as Pinocchio in a very gothic, slightly Bloodborne-style world. Or that's what we think, as none of us have taken on the demo they've released.

We're saving that fo...

EARLY ACCESS: RETRY: Elden Ring | Ep.8: Stormveil I

Hey RKG patrons, it's Early Access time!

Last year we came back with this absolute banger of a video for you and this year we want to do even more. We'll be bringing you a full video review of the haunted houses by our resident scaredy cat and also our straight-faced serial killer.

Ep.3: Weeping Peninsula | Roundtable Hold

Hey RKG patrons,

Here's the latest episode of Roundtable Hold. It covers all of the Weeping Peninsula and our return meeting with Margit. So if you haven't watched Ep.7 yet, which just went into Early Access, you might want to give that a watch first.

Here's a little overview of what we tackle in today's episode.

Testing New Gear with Dark Souls | Bonus Let's Play

Back in June, before we started filming RETRY: Elden Ring, we had a new studio set-up with lots of new equipment to test. So we decided to film a Let's Play and what better game to use than old faithful: Dark Souls. And we thought this would make a lovely little Extra Feature to share with you all.

We go for about an hour which is our usual record length, and here it is. In its entirety. Uncut and Uncensored. RKG Raw.

Obviously, since this is a test, some elements aren't perfect �...

Ep.2: Reviewing all the NPCs (So Far) | Roundtable Hold

Hey RKG patrons,

First up: a little apology. The sound is borked on the first part of this episode. We're really sorry about that.

We moved back onto the main set for this episode and through a little error, the sound recorder wasn't going. We still have the cam's internal mic, which isn't the best and we've tried to boost it as much possible.

Before the next episode, we're going to really nail down the look of this companion show. We hope it doesn't affect your enjoyment to...
