Hey Producers,
Here are the two links for this month's festive watch alongs, if you want to set your reminders.
Remember - we won't we showing the film in the stream because Arnie and Bruce will come and get us so you'll have to source your own version of the film on another screen.
Hey everyone,

Hey everyone,
Just a little reminder that our latest T-shirt, The Chalice Dungeons Tour, is on sale for 24 more hours.
If you've already picked one up – Thank You! – once the store closes, there'll all be printed and sent out to you. We're really excited to see what you think. The design close-up is really something – the detail is ridiculous – and the colours are amazing.
We can't wait to see pictures of you in them.

Hello you beautiful patrons.
We had such a good laugh recording last year's 100 question podcast that we thought we'd do another one.

Hey everyone,
We're delighted to reveal our latest T-Shirt, Retry: The Chalice Dungeons Tour.
Recently we brought Posh Finchy out of retirement for one more adventure, and to commemorate his epic comeback tour, we wanted to make our very own band T-shirt.
We’ve collaborated with incredible illustrator Luke Preece – who has worked with the likes of Metallica, Slipknot, and Ozzy Osborne – to bring this nightmare to life. (Go give him a 2021-11-15 17:01:03 +0000 UTC View Post

Additionally, Gav explains why he now understands the fountain of youth and we try to find out which celebrities have stacked it on Strictly Come Dancing.
(And hopefully we've beeped everything that needed to be beeped.)

Join RKG and their friends from IGN for a screening of Christopher Nolan’s secret best film, The Prestige – a story of warring magicians, weird science, and really good fake beards.
The movie will be followed by a live panel where we’ll discuss the film in minute and almost worrying detail (although we can’t promise we won’t just argue about who knows knots best).
When? 2021-11-10 14:34:16 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey Producers,
In a slight change to what was billed... this Thursday Krupa and Gav are braving the Welsh wilderness as they go in search of missing villagers and attempt to uncover a mystery.
Is this Wales at its finest? We're not sure, but it's a brand-new PS1-inspired horror game set in Wales, so we have to play it. We don't think it's too long so we're going to try and play it all in one sitting.
So join us for some Fursday Night Frights.

Hey RKG early access patrons,
We loved bringing you all of Retry: Chalice Dungeons at once, and we know a lot of you did, too. So we're doing it again with Retry: Resident Evil 8.
Below you'll find a link to a playlist of the entire series, as well as individual episode links. The first episode won't be made public on YouTube until Saturday, November 20th.
Retry: Resident Evil 8
This week we're recording while exporting Retry: Resident Evil 8, so if it's all gone wrong, you're listening to us in happier days.
We also talk about how Gav assisted a criminal mastermind as his Street Boss, why he only lasted in one job for 4 hours, and tackle such problems as whether it's okay to share pictures of your poop.

Hey beautiful patrons,
We’ve got an exciting month ahead. We’ve got a brand-new series of Retry, a spooky stream in Wales, and – all being well – an amazing new t-shirt later in the month, which we can’t wait to share with you.
We won’t say much more but it’ll be the first time Finchy will be gracing one of our shirts, and it’ll definitely have been worth the wait.

Hey Patrons,
Join us right now for the third Halloween livestream.
Okay, okay, we're not technically live this year for a couple of different reasons, but we do have a big spooky night in with costumes. We're playing Outlast's DLC, Whistleblower, and are hosting it as a YouTube premiere right now with live chat so you can all watch together.

We've put together this little feature that will take you behind the edit so you can see just a little bit of the work that went into bringing this to life. We had multiple cameras, multiple gameplay feeds and a whole load of gremlins causing drama behind-the-scenes. And Gav filmed it all. ...
