The Aether Distilled (feat. Elden Ring, The Trails Series, 1000xRESIST, and Pokemon Yellow & Crystal Legacy)

1 hour 40 minutes

What we've got for you today is a classic Aether. On the nose you get notes of triple-A game. On first sip, you'll feel the familiar tang of a long running RPG series up front quickly followed by the depth of an indie darling. Finally, on the finish you'll have the unforgettable combination of Pokemon and ROM hacks. Oh, and make sure you aren't downwind of any of your fellows here; this one will make you gassy.

Discussed: We're back, thank you so much for listening, new merch (link below), Patreon (link below), Elden Ring, The Trails series, 1000xRESIST, Pokemon Crystal & Yellow Legacy, SmithPlays Pokemon on YouTube, gas
