Every two weeks we take an area of the game, in order, and dissect it along with a guest. Our next episode will cover the generalities of the game, and the tutorial area. Then we're off to the races. We're happy to have you here!

This morning saw the release of the first trailer for the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC expansion for Elden Ring, and we think it looks pretty neat. So we recorded a little reaction episode and are making it available for everyone to share in the excitement.

In this episode we also discuss our tentative plans for covering the DLC. Since it's releasing on June 21, 2024 and we need to play it before we can structure the season, don't expect in-depth coverage until sometime in July. We will likely put up a first impressions episode shortly after release to tide you over, though.

Bonfireside Chat will return for what appears to be a lengthy season, based on all of the stuff shown in the trailer. The format of the show will likely remain unchanged, and Real Lich Hours will continue its normal release schedule as well.

We're excited to have you along for the ride. Now let's go touch that arm!

Yes, I was interested in renting a room that you had posted about. Tell me, does the unit have central air?

Well, no, I'm not particularly interested in start a war with the Erd Tree, but hey, for that monthly rent, I'll do anything.
