Bench Bugs - The Hollow Knight Podcast

This week we go over the footage shown off at the Nintendo Treehouse of Hollow Knight: Silksong!

This week’s episode is shorter as E3 takes up a lot of my time. We have some News, some Fandom moments, and a Content Creator to talk about. Hopefully by the time you listen to this some Silksong news will have been announced so I can talk about it next week!

There are many interesting insects out there, including the ones in this week’s Fandom Moment. Of course, those bugs have to come from somewhere. Perhaps they’re from the new kingdom of Bugaria that we talk about during the News? Then during our Main Topic Discussion we put on our theory caps to try and outdo mossbag by analyzing a single line of text from the recently released Wanderer’s Journal.

This week we discuss Hollow Knight Original Characters including some of my favorites from the community. We then quickly finish of The Hive in the short but sweet Play Through Update.

This week we finally venture into the Abyss. Which is extremely relevant to mossbag’s recent video we discuss in the Fandom Moment. There’s no Topic Discussion this week but next week’s will be all about Hollow Knight OC’s so stay tuned!

This week we go over my least favorite enemies in the game during our Topic Discussion. We also do some speculation over Silksong in the Fandom Moment and visit Kingdom’s Edge in the Play Through Update.

Well I’ve done it. I’ve beaten the game for the first time! Not that you’ll hear about that in this episode. This week we’re just going over my overall thoughts and impressions of Hollow Knight while our Fandom Moment foretells of potential suffering in the future. Then we do some exploring with those Monarch Wings in a shorter than usual Play Through Update.

This week we have some responses to the Sci-Fi challenge I issued as we explore a giant space station and a robotic kingdom in this week’s Fandom Moment. We then finish up my journey through Deepnest and go looking for the double jump ability.

This week we talk about how charming Hollow Knight’s Charm System is. We cover charm combinations and fan made charms that I found interesting. I then use those interesting combos as I finally venture into the darkness of Deepnest during my 100% Play Through Update.

This week we present Bench Bugs: The Movie. In this extra lengthy episode we have a nice discussion with Youtuber Relyea about the story and lore of Hollow Knight. Then the 100% Play Through Update almost doubles the length thanks to all the sessions I played this week. Buckle in; this episode is almost as long as Bardoon.
