Early Access | SPOOKIES: Dead Space Ep.3: Course Correction

Hello Early Access, Producers, and Posh Slugs!

Here is your link for next week's episode of SPOOKIES: Dead Space an entire week early.

This episode, in our opinion, is an absolute all-timer and we hope you enjoy it because without your support, we wouldn't be able to make it!

The SPOOKIES Live Scream: House on Haunted Hill

Ready for an evening of tension and terror? Frights and frenzy?

We're actually not sure we can guarantee all of that, but what we can promise is a nice evening in watching an old campy horror film with the three of us.

We're just about to go live, and all you have to do is click the link above. No need to source a copy of the film, as we'll be showing it live too.

See you shortly...

How to Watch: SPOOKIES Live Scream | House on Haunted Hill

Hey Producers and Posh Slugs,

Fancy a spooky night in with us?

This Friday night from 6pm GMT all three of us will be settling to watch House on Haunted Hill, a film which inspired some of the way we presented our recent SPOOKIES: Double Bill. If you've not seen it, it's a really fun old black-and-white horror movie starring the inimitable Vincent Price.

And unlike of other watch alongs, this time you won't have to source the film for yourself, as we'll be showing the film t...

The Lost FinchyFest Print Now On Sale

On March 14th, 2016, we published the very first episode of Prepare To Try while we were working at IGN.

Seven years later we’re building a bespoke studio and gearing up for our biggest-ever adventure in Retry: Elden Ring. But before moving forward, we wanted to look back and celebrate the journey so far.

Across 161 episodes, we’ve collected so many incredible memories playing the works of FromSoft and Lazy Michael Zaki. ‘Finchy’ – a throwaway gag in the very first episo...

Early Access | SPOOKIES: Dead Space Ep.2: Intensive Care

We hope you enjoyed the very first episode of SPOOKIES: Dead Space, and because you're a patron, you can watch the very next episode right now.

In episode 2, we head down to Medical in search of the Captain’s Rig. Nothing bad could possibly happen in a morgue. 

Right?

Monthly Update: February 2023

Hey everyone, here’s a little update on what we’ve been up to this month. We’ve got a new show to tell you about and lots to tell you about our studio renovation.

SPOOKIES: Dead Space

Dead Space. What a game!

Powers literally knew nothing about the series before playing it, and now it’s one of his favourite games we’ve ever played.

Despite us getting steadily sick, and Gav drinking 7 lemsips in 24-hours (do NOT try this at home), we filmed it...

Gav Plays The Last of Us | Ep.5: The End

Gav's just gone live with the final part of his full Last of Us playthrough. 

There's a few chapters left but he's going until he finishes it so jump in and keep him company/stop him from crying. 

SPOOKIES: Double Bill | Watch the Entire Series Now

How do you do, patrons?

RKG feels it would be a little unkind to present this double bill without just a friendly word of warning: we are about to unfold not one but two stories of terror.

One about a journey into the desert to wake an ancient horror from its slumber. The other? A night spent in the house of a psychopath.

Welcome to the SPOOKIES: Double Bill. We think it will thrill you. It may shock you. It might even amuse you to the point you begin to she...

How to Watch: Gav Plays The Last of Us Ep.5

Shield Up 212: Big Momo's House

This week kicks off with a terrifying chat about AI cryptids and keeps going until what is left is a nightmare-fuelled ride of chaos and bloodshed. Not really but it is very funny.

SPOOKIES: Double Bill | Early Access on Feb 22nd

Good evening and welcome, RKG patrons and viewers, to a special double-bill screening.

Two series, focusing on different characters, different settings, with different jokes. Each is a collectors' item in its own way – not because of the stories themselves but because each captures on YouTube, and suspends in time and space, a frozen moment of a nightmare.

House of Ashes – 5 Episodes

We travel into the desert and into the mouth of a waking nightmare. ...

Shield Up 211: The Millennial Men

This week all three lads ponder whether they're millennials or boomers? Whatever the outcome, I think we can all agree we're Slugs first. Everything else is just window dressing.

Shield Up 210: We Don't Hate Dark Souls 2!

This week we hear from a Slug who ranks Dark Souls 2 above most other FromSoft games and wants to know what's our beef with the Majula Massive. If you want to hear Krupa and Gav get all nostalgic for DS2 then you'll love this episode.

Monthly Update: January 2023

New Year. Traditionally a time for new beginnings, and we’ve been doing just that.

If you’re a patron, you know this is really something we began towards the end of last year. Back in October, we published a patron-exclusive vlog detailing our rough plan for the RKG Studio and what we were going to do in the months ahead.

Fitting the studio properly has always been hugely important for the future of RKG and what we want to do long-term. It’ll make making things easier and qu...
