Hello, precious bait… sorry, slugs,
We’re delighted to finally launch a new t-shirt to celebrate the end of our adventures in Ashina.
To The Fools! features a steaming cup of Dragonspring sake on the front, served in a Retry cup. While on the back, you have the bottle itself, a memento brought back from our time in Ashina.

Hey patrons,
So Retry: Sekiro might be done, canonically speaking, but we couldn't resist going back and seeing the other endings and taking on the bosses that we missed out first time around.
We know a few people wanted to see us take them on, too.
We'll be back very shortly with a tease and announcement of what's next, but until then we'll leave you with this special extra episode of Retry: Sekiro.

Hey Producers,
Finally, we're getting back on the horse. There's still 33 trophies ahead of us (you can see where we're at by taking a look at this page.
The plan for Saturday?
Smash up some pontiffs, god eaters, and giants. Currently my plan is to get us pretty late game in this stream, and then for the next one, which is the following...

During lockdown some people dreamed of writing a novel, or developing a 6-pack, or retraining for a new profession.
Gav and I recorded a 32-episode-long companion podcast to the classic BBC TV show Jonathan Creek. If you’re not familiar with it, it’s all about a magician’s assistant who solves impossible crimes using his unusual but wonderful mind. It features one of TV’s great romances. He also lives in a windmill. What more could you ask for?
It’s long been a shared pa...

Let's get this ratty little show on the road!
I'm just about to start watching Ratatouille for the very first time and I want YOU to join me. I'll be making predictions, chatting nonsense and enjoying some wholesome fun.
I'll be starting the film in about 10 minutes so plenty of time to go grab some pasta and wine.

Hey Posh Slugs and Producers, you beautiful bastards!
This Sunday I'm going to be fixing a cultural blackspot that was brutally EXPOSED during our Sekiro series and FINALLY watching Ratatouille.
The link to the stream is above so all you need to do is find a copy of the film – I'll be watching on Disney+ where the film is 1hr51m. I don't know anything about the film other than I think a rat is good at cooking for some reason.

This week Krupa and Gav have a lovely little chat about Kanye West, how horny some of our community are and get absolutely schooled on lizards by a biologist.
We were going to have a Sekiro special this week but unfortunately Powers has been ill (not Rona-related) so we'll be doing that next episode instead. This means there's still time to send us your Retry: Sekiro questions: bit.ly/ShieldUp 2020-11-06 11:02:00 +0000 UTC View Post
RKG patrons,
We’re very excited and proud to tell you about our new series, Games Are Good for You.
You can watch the trailer right now, with the first episode coming this Thursday.
So what is it?
Towards the end of summer we were approached by the UK Government – yeah, we were surprised too – and asked if we’d be interested in making a short series about video games and their impact on people’s mental health. 2020 has been a...

Hey everyone,
Firstly, Happy Halloween!
We're just about to go live for a very spooky evening of fun. We'll be in full costume, once again. There are no clowns, you have our assurance.
We'll be playing Little Hope, the new game from the people who made Until Dawn, from beginning to end.
There might even be time for a ghost story.
See you soon, ghouls and boils...

Here we are. Wolf's journey is finally at an end.
It took slightly longer than we anticipated, but we've loved every step of the way – every sculptor's idol, misused sugar, and deathblow. But every journey, no matter how long and arduous, comes to an end.
Time to save a young lord in a moonlit field.*

*epic enough?
There are certain rules that one must abide by in order to create a successful Halloween livestream sequel.
Number one: the costumes have to be better.
Number two: the let's play has to be much more elaborate – more blood, more gore – *carnage candy*.
And number three: never, ever, under any circumstances, assume you won't get a content strike.
That's right, ghouls and boils – the RKG Halloween Sleepover returns this year, and is actually on Halloween. Join...

Here's both episodes of our A Way Out playthrough which sees us forced into working together to escape from prison and take down the man who put us behind bars.
Our full playthrough of A Way Out takes us to so many places - physically AND emotionally - but not before we stopped to do some arm wrestling and some banjo playing.

Hey Producers,
Time for the big one.
Tonight we're watching Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. Make sure you have your copy at the ready. We'll be starting the film about 10 or so minutes into the stream. You know the drill by now.
I'll see you very soon...

We're out of prison. We're on the lamb. We're on the hunt for more banjos.
Set your reminders cause we're gonna see this adventure out to its dramatic, nonsensical conclusion. It's gonna be a good 'un.
The first part of our playthrough is available here if you want to get caught up.

There's nothing we love more than a big hairy, angry boss that also happens to be on fire.
This was an epic fight and the longest we've had in Sekiro. We hope you love the episode.

Hey Producers,
This weekend, in my final Halloween horror stream, it's the biggie: Stanley Kubrick's The Shining.
Find a copy of the film – we'll be watching the American version. It should be 144 minutes, if you want to watch along exactly with the copy I'll be using.
I'll also bore you with some holiday photos of when I visited the Timberline Lodge (the visual inspiration for the Overlook hotel) last year.
See you on Saturday!

Hey Producers, you should know the drill by now. I'm just about to go live on YouTube. The Kryptkeeper may or may not put in an appearance. I've contacted him on Cameo.
But get your drink, snacks, and copy of John Carpenter's original halloween at the ready for tonight's Halloween watch alone.

Hey lovely Producers,
I'll be watching John Carpenter's original Halloween this Saturday. It's one of my all-time favourite films and would love to watch it with you.
If you've not watched one of our film clubs before, you'll need to source your own copy of the movie to watch. I don't want to get the channel cancelled by Carpenter while I'm doing a solo stream.
When?
Saturday, 17 October – 11pm BST | 6pm ET | 3pm PT

Hey lovely RKG patrons,
We need your help. We've put together a short questionnaire asking for your favourite moments and memories from over 4 years of us playing From Soft games.
There's 7 questions in total, and you don't have to answer them all, but we're curious to know things like your funniest moments, your favourite boss fight, and more.
We have own personal favourites, but we want to know yours for a special project.
Why?
Well, we can't say just yet...
