This week Krupa and Gav talk about their recent musical loves, how hard it can be to start something new and somehow get disgusted by a doctor.

Heya, everyone.
We just wanted to let you know the first batch of Shield Up hoodies and T-shirts will be printed in 5 days.
So if you want to get one as soon as possible, this week is the time to do it.
Also, Everpress is having what they call a 'Creator Weekend' this weekend, meaning we get a better cut of the sales, which is nice.
So if you want to pick up the hoodie, support what we do, and get it as soon as possible, this weekend is a really good time t...

Hey RKG patrons,
We noticed a small issue with the previous link for Ep.4 but we've fixed it. Disregard the previous link and use the one above which now features more silly reaction faces instead of black frames.
This week Aunty Finchy heads down to the Mistwood, helps a man in need, finds a well, and meets a wolf.

Hey RKG patrons,
Firstly, thank you!
Thank you for all of the amazing comments and reactions to what we’ve been putting out over the last couple of months.
This year was all about getting to this point. We’ve set up the RKG studio. We’ve talked about how we want to use Patreon and a little bit about what we want RKG to be in the years ahead. And we’ve set-off on our most epic adventure ever in RETRY: Elden Ring. (That’s not to mention launching two new companion sh...

Hey RKG patrons,
Here's episode 3 of RETRY: Elden Ring.
We're still exploring Limgrave today (there's a lot to do). Today Aunty Finchy heads into a couple of caves and then up Stormhill, making friends wherever she goes.
Enjoy!

This week Rory and Gav are fresh from running the London 10K and still feeling the effects. The lads get into the topic of Icing (surprising your friend with a Smirnoff Ice and forcing them to down it) and things get strange.

Shield Up, our new boss hoodie for RETRY: Elden Ring, is now on sale.
The phrase ‘Shield Up’ started off as a desperate plea, but it’s really taken on a lot of significance within our community. In addition to an often-ignored instruction, it became an unofficial catchphrase of sorts. We even named our podcast after it.
Over the years, it’s acquired deeper significance within our community. It’s become synonymous with people lending support to other slug...

Hey RKG patrons,
You've now all been introduced to the legend that is Aunty Finchy.
We really enjoyed meeting her, too. So much in fact we thought we'd share more of that process with you.
Think of this as an extra Extra Feature on this tier. Elden Ring is such a massive experience, we'll be releasing more features like this whenever the right opportunity comes along in the game.
Enjoy seeing more of your Aunty!
And if you missed it, and want to make you...

Hey amazing RKG patrons,
We hope you absolutely loved the first episode of RETRY: Elden Ring, and if you can't wait until next week to see Aunty Finchy explore more of Limgrave – well, you don't have to.
Here's the link to next week's episode early and ad-free.
This really is going to be our biggest-ever adventure and we're so happy you're coming along for the ride. We say it often because it's true: we couldn't do this without your support.
So thank you! 2023-07-15 21:00:03 +0000 UTC View Post

I want to do something on Patreon dedicated to my favourite aspect of the FromSoft games: the lore. I’m interested in exploring it in much greater depth than I ever could on the show, and I want to do that with RKG patrons. I want to create a collaborative research project where we’ll gain a deeper understanding of Elden Ring’s amazing world t...

Here's the link for Saturday's RETRY: Elden Ring premiere.
We'd love for as many of us to watch it together live for the first time.
If you don't know what a YouTube Premiere is... basically it's a way of debuting a video a bit like a traditional telly broadcast.
If you tune in for the Premiere at the time below, we'll all be watching the first episode together. Once it's done, the episode will instantly be available to watch on-demand just like any other...

You'll be getting one of these every fortnight at this time delivered straight to you via Patreon.
The show is going to grow as we get deeper into our Elden Ring adventure. But typically we're going to be using it as a way of talking about things there just isn't time to on the main show. Or maybe there's a cool little detail we missed that it's worth revisiting.
We want to keep it fun and va...

Hello,
If you’re reading this, you’re already an RKG Patron, so thank you.
We’ve just published a new video about What’s Next for RKG and we want to tell you a bit more about it, since you’re already patrons.
It’s partly an updated video explaining why Patreon is invaluable to what we do, but it’s also something of a manifesto for who we are as creators and what we want to make.

We're pulling together essentially a Show & Tell about what we've been working on and where we're heading. We can't reveal everything just yet... but there's plenty we can share.
This is a really exciting time for RKG and we're excited to tell you more.

Here it is. The RETRY: Demon's Souls | Special Edition.
We originally launched the series a year ago today. It was a new landmark for us in terms of production and the latest example of what we think a Let's Play series can be.
A year later, we're revisiting it with the Special Edition. Below are links to every items individually, but we've also collected everything together in a Special Edition playlist that contains the lot.
This week Krupa and Gav enter a new phase of podcasting which we guarantee* will make you a millionaire by the end of the episode.
