    Let us continue to celebrate our home…across the sea of fog…the Lands Between…together. • Rise, Tarnished, and be guided by grace to brandish the power of the Elden Ring and become an Elden Lord in the Lands Between. In the Lands Between ruled by Queen Marika the Eternal, the Elden Ring, the source of the Erdtree, has been shattered. Marika's offspring, demigods all, claimed the shards of the Elden Ring known as the Great Runes, and the mad taint of their newfound strength triggered a war: The Shattering. A war that meant abandonment by the Greater Will. And now the guidance of grace will be brought to the Tarnished who were spurned by the grace of gold and exiled from the Lands Between. Ye dead who yet live, your grace long lost, follow the path to the Lands Between beyond the foggy sea to stand before the Elden Ring. And become the Elden Lord. • We have a special request for our viewers and listeners.

    My dear Tarnished, the Golden Age is almost upon us. From the silent shadows of the dark times — before Geoff Keighley's glorious SGF reveal — to this bountiful era of daily reveals, it has always been our fate…our golden path…to make it to this day. On our 16th episode, 'A Shadow's Fate' — the final one before Elden Ring's release, and we all cross the foggy sea together — join the exceptionally talented Tarnished artist Gobli Prin and show producer Albert for ‘A Shadow's Fate', as the pair discuss all things life, art, music and more. Enjoy! What if the two Miyazakis — Hidetaka and Hayao — combined into something, or rather someone, whose style is well on its way to surpassing both? Well, in addition to being a truly unique and exceedingly talented illustrator unto himself, this is an accurate way to describe Tokyo-based artist, @gobli_prin. If you haven't already, ahead of this weekend's conversation with this outstanding creator, I highly recommend following his Insta right now! The pair discuss the differences between the two Miyazakis, how combining their sensibilities can prove surprisingly satisfying and unique, and much more. Stay tuned!

    Prog rock meets Elden Ring? As well as the extended MiyazakiVerse of Dark Souls and Bloodborne? A match made in the heavens, to be sure... Well, good Tarnished, you are in luck. On this episode, the mighty ANOR LONDO — a one-man Miyazaki-inspired prog band (ring a bell, Porcupine Tree?) — just so happens to be our special guest, the musical alter-ego of friend of the show, Rashed Salem. The pair discuss art, life, the intrinsic connection between prog and fantasy, how Miyazaki's works are a perfect match for prog and metal alike, and much more! So go and grab yourself a fresh flagon of Limbgrave mead, pull up a chair to The Rountable Hold's fireplace, sit back, relax, get cozy and listen in, as the rainswept skies of the Lands Between roll on outside...

    Kyle and Albert dive into Elden Ring's second trailer. Enjoy! Note: due to an editing program rendering error the episode unfortunately does not contain clips or an edited/clean version of Kyle's wonderful Game Manual Recital recital. I tried multiple times to publish the edited version, but the file wasn't having any of it. The positive side effect result is a candid behind the scenes look at Kyle and I's friendship. Good vibes! Additional heads up: Kyle and I are omnidirectional subject matter-discussing tangent-taking boffins to the core, so we take our good time to get to the Gathering of the Shards proper (which begins an hour ).

    With overwhelming evidence and teases heralding Elden Ring's presence at Summer Game Fest 2021,  Albert captures this very special moment in time in podcast-form, harkening back to his very first recording in March of 2015,  leading into Bloodborne: the lead-up to a brand new Miyazaki title,  then the small matter of a completely original fantasy universe co-created with one of earth's greatest authors, George R.R. Martin.  Albert reflects on Keighley's 'Ring Of Candles' tease (one which will be remembered many years hence),  Gives a preview of Episodes 4 and 5 ('Beyond The Sea Of Fog' solo SGF Livestream tomorrow,  and 'Tragic Things Unite', featuring ongoing cohosts Sean The Lore Hunter and Terapop), And sends each and every one of you directly to his mentors, Soulslike scholars Kole and Gary from DuckFeed TV's Bonfireside Chat Rekindled (Links Below),  Sharing a clip of their extremely erudite, fascinating and enriching observations and speculation on Elden Ring's debut trailer, serving as the perfect prelude to the joy we are all about to collectively experience in a few short hours time!
