This week we chat about the legends that have decided to adorn their skin with RKG-related designs and then discuss whether it's OK to use a beard brush for your balls. We cover it all on this podcast.

Krupa Needs Your Help with His Dark Souls 3 Platinum

Patrons, I need your help.

This weekend I’ll be streaming the next part in my hunt for Dark Souls 3’s Platinum. An important thing to do before we plunge into NG+ is to cross off all the Covenant trophies.

This entails acquiring all of the items for each covenant. Some of these are relatively straightforward, while others will require a fair amount of grinding. All are variations of a theme, and I’ve detailed what we need to do for each one below and where possible, how you ...

How to Watch: Krupa's Dark Souls 3 Platinum – Ep.6 AKA The 'Grind-a-thon'

Hey Producers,

Here's the link for this Saturday's stream. 

I'm going to be kicking off at 4pm (BST), and streaming for a while to say the least.

If you don't know, this stream is all about getting those precious Covenant achievements. 

Some won't be too bad, while others will be an absolute slog. 

If you don't know too much about them, I'm going to do a post tomorrow detailing what each entails, and how you can help out should you wish to jump on ...

Shield Up 186: What Would Dr. Richard Kimble Do?

Patreon had a little problem with audio files these last few days but it should now be fixed and available for you. 

Have you ever been wrongfully accused?

What's the best spoon etiquette when making a brew?

And a fart-based Minging or Fair Play conundrum.

New T-Shirt On Sale Now: Finchy's Essentials

We’ve been feeling a little nostalgic of late. So with the help of our mate BLOC we’ve designed a new shirt that looks back at the last 6 years. 

(Yes, it's been 6 years since we first visited Lordran. We can’t believe it either.)

The front design bears the name we gave the show when we started RKG, emblazoned on a shield that echoes the original Prepare To Try logo created by our friend Amanda Flagg. The back, meanwhile, brings together the weapons and items that saw u...

Monthly Update: July 2022

Hey everyone,

Starting this month, we're going to change these monthly posts a little bit – from being a straight-up 'what's coming this month' to more of a wider, behind-the-scenes update.

We want to give you more of an insight on what we're working on, and what that's going to mean for the months ahead, rather than just serving up the end product.

Krupa's Dark Souls 3 Platinum | Part 5

Hey Producers and Posh Slugs,

I'm just about to go live with my first solo stream from the RKG studio, and I'm very excited to inch closer to getting this Dark Souls 3 platinum – almost 2 years later.

It'd be amazing if you could join me for the stream or for at least part of it, and if you've got a DS3 character on PlayStation ready to go, I'll be getting people in as often as possible using krupasos as the network password.

Right, bet get set for this. N...

How to Watch: Krupa's Dark Souls 3 Platinum This Weekend

Hey everyone,

Taken a little while to get back on this, but I feel ready to get back on track and get this Platinum in the bag.

Let's be honest, though, it's going to take sometime. If you want to join me on Saturday live, and help me probably spend the majority of the stream remembering 1) where we are in the run 2) how to play Dark Souls 3, that'd be wonderful and I'd greatly appreciate your company.
