Shield Up Episode 5: Communication Breakdown

Happy St David's Day to you all! 

This week we’ve got a little mix of serious relationship problems that have cropped up because there’s a bit of a lapse in communication going on. 

And who better to help with that communication than three strangers on the internet! 

We mention a few live things we're doing so here's the links:

Shield Up Episode 4: Animal Problems

We’ve got a lovely episode of animal-based relationship problems this week which isn’t as dirty as it sounds but it ends with Rory laughing in a way that I’ve genuinely never heard before. So there’s THAT to look forward to. 

We mention a few live things we're doing and here's the links:

Post Show: Overcooked 2

Let's try this again. We've done some tests throughout the week, and got the stream running at a stable and good quality.

We'll be streaming Overcooked 2 again for Producers and Posh Slugs, as well as answering some of your questions. We'll also be going a little bit longer to make-up for the technical difficulties of last week.

If you've not yet registered for Crowdcast, take a look now, and set a reminder for tomorrow's event.

We Finally Got the Camera We Wanted

Big day at RKG Towers (Gav's flat)! 

We finally got the camera we've wanted since day one.

Some of you may know about the slight drama behind this. Simply put, it's really good, well-priced camera and only came out recently. Consequently it has been in massive demand. They can't make them fast enough.

We've been renting one, which has meant we've only been able to shoot in batches, not whenever we want. That's been okay, but it's stopped us from getting into a real rhyt...

RKG Livestream Update

Hey everyone,

Tomorrow was scheduled to be the first RKG livestream. Unfortunately we’ve had to push that back to next week (Wednesday, 13th February).

We want to be really open with why that is. Right now we’re renting the camera we want to buy (there’s a huge waiting list for the one we want) to film Retry, and are conscious that we won’t get enough episodes in the can before the rental has to go back. We only have it for this week.

So instead of doing a rushed str...

Watch Retry: Dark Souls 2 – Episode 2

Here's episode 2 for all you Patrons on our Early Access tier, our producers and the Posh Slugs. 

I don't think we realised that The Pursuer was going to give us quite as much trouble as he did but hopefully you enjoy our weird tactic of ignoring the obvious and powering through. 

None of this would exist without you so thanks again to everyone for supporting RKG on this bonkers journey – we're having the best time already and it's only just begun!

Making the Retry Trailer with Pik-Sen Lim

We always knew we wanted to put together a little trailer for Retry.

Here it is if you haven't yet seen it: https://youtu.be/AkCdC0NMA0w

Building the RKG Studio

Work on the RKG Studio has begun!

Today we headed to IKEA, and left a Kallax, Bekant, and three Flintans better off. 

We also consumed around 60 meatballs between us.

While there's still a bunch of work to do on the new studio ahead of shooting the first episode of Retry, at least the furniture is in there. Tomorrow’s all about getting the tech-side of things sorted.

We said this yesterday, but ‘thank you’ once again for making this all possible. It’s been...

Thank You So Much!

Hello lovely Patrons,

We just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone for your support on our first day. Yesterday was such an overwhelming day in so many ways but genuinely was one of the best,most bonkers days of our lives. 

Right now we’re hard at work getting the studio (Gav’s spare room) ready to record the first episodes of Retry and Shield Up. This will involve many trips to IKEA where hopefully our personal and working relationships remain intact.
