Modern Escapism

O' Lowly Tarnished, you do not have the right.

But you do have the right to listen to Gadget and Oodles break down their experiences with From Software's magnum opus, the sublime Elden Ring.

We get into locations, story, bosses, builds, everything we can think of from our first 8 weeks with the game. We're fully frenzied but we do not end up maidenless.

Naturally, heavy spoilers for the game up to and including the endings.

• Still Game
• The Northman
• Dune: Messiah
• Final Fantasy VI Pixel Remaster

Every hero has to have his loyal ward. A helper who can turn the tide of battle, or who can be so uniquely irritating that they ruin your enjoyment of the hero's adventures.

But before all that we discussed:

• The Kaiju Preservation Society
• The Bad Vegan
• Wife Quest
• Halo (TV Series)
