About this episode

The hosts discuss the upcoming game Dragon Quest Monsters: The Withered World and share a shoutout for a friend's game release.

This week, we talk about Dragon Quest Monsters: The Withered World. We have been excited about this one ever since it was announced, and Beej was excited even before that--having called it as being a part of the 40th Anniversary stream in an episode a few weeks back. We don't know a lot of info about the game yet, but there is a pretty good amount we can read between the lines from the teaser, seeing Bianca and Nera, as well as previous installments in the Monsters series. Are you as excited as we are for this one? Also, we have a shoutout to our friend Ryan Molina for the physical release of his PS4 game, Popcorn Rocket. It's available on Amazon , digital across various platforms, and you can read about it when he talks about its production on Substack . We are also doing a giveaway for Book 4 of the new DQ Erdrick manga, so if you want a chance to win that, just comment on this post. We'll be giving one away to Patrons and one to the general public (and maybe more, depending on our moods! haha)
