Podcasts about dragon warrior

Today, we're journeying back to the origins of one of the most influential RPG franchises of all time as we explore the Dragon Warrior trilogy in celebration of the anniversary of Dragon Warrior II. We'll start by uncovering how Dragon Warrior (known as Dragon Quest in North America) emerged from a programming contest and a vision to bring Western-style RPGs to Japanese audiences. Then, we'll examine how Dragon Warrior II expanded the formula with party-based combat and a larger world, paving the way for Dragon Warrior III, which solidified the series' legacy with new mechanics and a deeper narrative. Finally, we'll reflect on how these pioneering games shaped the RPG genre and continue to inspire modern titles. So, gather your party and join us for an epic quest on today's trip down Memory Card Lane. Find out more at https://a-trip-down-memory-card-lane.pinecast.co

Season Finale - Goblin Kings and Popstars SingBat Alchemist uses gym-kata to make his way through the swarm of goblins dance-fighting to Enrique Iglesias. He moves under the bleachers and sees bad-kid goblins smoking cigarettes and making out. He melts them with an acid potion.Warlock Rock hits a button that raises a fashion-show catwalk in the center of the room. She sashays her way to the Goblin King, does a diving punch, but misses and lands sprawled out on the floor behind him. Dragon Warrior runs on the top of goblin heads and lands on Lotto the demon dog, and commands Lotto to breath fire on the goblins while running to the goblin king. Rocky-Staroth tries to regain control of Lotto the demon dog, but Dragon Warrior maintains control. Dragon Warrior miscasts the spell Poison Lick of Fug making his own face quite gross.Tiger Wizard misses whacking the goblin king with his wand. The goblin king polymorphes Tiger Wizard into a goblin adorned with goblin skulls… he's now Goblin Wizard. Ariana, polymorphed into a goblin (Gobliana), successfully snaps Tiger Wizard out of his polymorphed mind control, then takes a Gobliana-sized bite out of the Goblin King's leg.Goblin Wizard climbs up the human-sized Goblin King's shoulder, wacks him in the face with his wand Dorkus, then gruesomely peels the mask off of the Goblin King. Goo, like pizza cheese, still connects between the mask and the Goblin King's face. Goblin Wizard puts the mask on becoming the new Goblin Wizard King. He begins to succumb to its power, including growing a tiger-demon face on his torso. He uses the mask to calm down the throng of goblins.Dragon Warrior stabs Rocky-Staroth in the chest with his soul-bound sword. Bat Alchemist strong-arms Rocky-Staroth into teaching Goblin Wizard how to use the mask. He turns Ariana back into a human. Goblin Wizard finishes off Rocky-Staroth and puts everyone back to work for Dr. Dre-colich. Warlock Rock makes friends with Ariana, and all of the Vat Spawn ride off into the sunset with Ariana for future adventures involving a mysterious Beibataur.ANNOUNCEMENTSDungeon Cats: Tiger Wizard's rules-lite TTRPG where you play feline adventurers is now available at Exalted Funeral. THE MEGA DUNGEON MEN EP: Our new TTRPG fantasy meets hip hop album, The Mega Dungeon Men EP is now available on all streaming platforms.JOIN OUR MAILING LIST by clicking the newsletter button at epiclevelsrapgods.com—Thanks for listening to Season Three of the Epic Levels Mad Dungeon podcast, where D&D hip hop group Epic Levels alternate between “Rise of the Vat Spawn,” an actual play using Mystic Punks RPG, and Side Quests where we interview other game creators.You can support us via Patreon for early episode releases, bonus map content, extra art, access to our discord server, and lots of other exclusive goodies.Get nerd merch and stay up to date with socials: HEREMad Dungeon is hosted by Andrew Bellury, Steve Albertson, Robin Bellury and produced by Zach Cowan.Theme song by Epic Levels and beat by Jay Domingo.© 2024 Epic Levels.

The Vat Spawn watch the Goblin King polymorph the missing Ariana from a beautiful pop star into a grotesque goblin. A hundred goblins cheer him on as the transformation occurs. “Goblins is people?” Dragon Warrior queried. Bat Alchemist lights a joint from the demon dog's fire breath to regain his lost health. Then he reverse engineered Warlock Roc's listening device to play Enrique Iglesias through the tone-stone walls, causing them to gather in one area for a makeshift dance party. Turns out goblins are obsessed with Enrique Iglesias. Tiger Wizard takes advantage of the distracting dance party, springs through the door, and casts Nitar's Fireball, serving a dish of fiery destruction. The Goblin King breathes fire from the demonic face in the center of his torso, but Tiger Wizard and Bat Alchemist move out of the way. The goblins swarm the Vat Spawn as they fight-dance to Enrique Iglesias.Dragon Warrior sits atop the demon dog Lotto and charges into the room. Lotto breathes fire into the goblin horde as Dragon Warrior swan dives into the goblins as he casts Pognif Explosion exploding himself and a single goblin to bits… and then he reforms.Bat Alchemist uses his soulbound weapon Clippy's ability to hit multiple targets. In return for his services, Clippy demands to be of assistance immediately and makes Bat Alchemist do calisthenics to get better at attacking.Tiger Wizard dances through the goblin horde to whiff hitting the Goblin King, and notices that he's wearing a wooden mask. Warlock Roc attempts to sneak away, but trips on her high heels into the goblin horde. Dragon Warrior wades through the gobs to give Warlock Roc a healing potion, which brought her back to full power and made her glow pink.The Goblin King grabs Tiger Wizard and begins polymorphing him into a goblin. Tune in next week to see how goblined up Tiger Wizard gets.ANNOUNCEMENTSPAX Unplugged: December 6th through 8th in Philadelphia.

A negotiation starts up on either side of a force field with a goblin on stilts named Snax. An elite goblin named Meat Fists swallows a cat whole and pulls out its skeleton to intimidate the crew. Bat Alchemist and Tiger Wizard calm the situation down with successful converse rolls. Tiger Wizard uses a Mad Dungeon word to change the fabric of reality to create Tone Stone Touch Pads for bureaucratic transactions, and now the team has a Goblin Museum bank card.They pay for a tour of the museum. They're given four beefy goblins as escorts: Gilbert (IRS suspenders), Stink Pits (no shirt, tie, cargo pants, dollar sign tattoos), Glerbnid (big feet, toes busting out of dress shoes) and Tor (eye magnifying glasses). Room one of the tour is of the banking area. Tiger Wizards' obsession with the vault causes conflict with Glerbnid, but Warlock Roc calms the situation down. They move into the next room of weapons and goblin museum curators who laugh and threaten to disembowel Dragon Warrior after he touches the Codeine Fountain Razor and buckles to his knees.ANNOUNCEMENTSTHE MEGA DUNGEON MEN EP: Our new TTRPG fantasy meets hip hop album, The Mega Dungeon Men EP is out this now.

This week the Vat Spawn are at the Rock Ride station platform with The Coroner. They're stopped while trying to pass through a DJPD checkpoint. The fuzz find a joint on Warlock Roc and they're detained. They unsuccessfully attempt to bribe the officers, and the cops call in backup. Tiger Wizard uses the Mad Dungeon word “sneakily” to create a cartoon style fight cloud, and they come out with their clothing swapped. The Vat Spawn escape in their new police uniforms, make their way through the municipal district to the colosseum where the executions will take place. They attempt to enter through a side entrance guarded by a DJPD officer by telling him that they were bringing The Coroner as a last minute addition to the public execution. The Coroner flips out at this undiscussed plan and runs away.Bat Alchemist utilized the Mad Dungeon word “sexy” to make every officer's name Gary. AGAB: All Garys Are Bastards.

In this episode of DreamMachine, Arun and Patricia discuss about the 2024 DreamWorks animated film Kung Fu Panda 4, the fourth installment of the Kung Fu Panda franchise. Po is now being assigned to being a Spiritual Leader and must now choose a new Dragon Warrior. However, he feels that he isn't spiritually ready to help people with advice or wise words. Meanwhile, Tai Lung has returned and has challenged Po to show up to have another fight with one another. A thief named Zhen informs Po that Tai Lung is actually The Chameleon shape shifting as Tai Lung and that she lives in Juniper City. It's up to Po and Zhen to stop her. When the movie came out in theaters, it made $400 million dollars out of an $85 million dollar budget with mixed reviews from critics and viewers calling the weakest film in the series. What do Arun and Patricia think? Listen and find out. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/old-school-lane/support

This week our heroes meet The Coroner in the basement of his mortuary. We learn that the dead bodies of Def Jamisus city are sent down chutes to the Necropolis below. The Marshal of Mummies explains that astral markers are needed to re-up their magical powers before leaving them with The Coroner to take them to view today's public executions, and will meet them in goblin town later. The vat spawn move through the streets of the walled city, learning more about tone-stone, that there's venders selling bags of spaghetti everywhere, and that their public transit system, The Rock Ride aka The “R,” moves along the perimeter of the city's 100-foot tall walls. They move from an undead district, through the interior wall to the market district, to the entrance to the inner concentric circle wall to the city center.There, they're stopped at a Def Jamisus Police Department checkpoint. Warlock Rock fails at casting the spell candy talk, and is frisked. The DJPD finds a joint and the entire crew is detained.

Kung Fu Panda 4 has finally arrived, and there were some big promises that were made for this film. The Dragon Warrior was supposed to face his most heinous villain yet, The Chameleon, all of Po's past enemies (Tai Lung, Lord Shen, and General Kai) were all returning in some way, and we were told Po would ascend to become the Spiritual Leader of the Valley of Peace. Zhen and Po were supposedly going to go the most epic adventure yet, but did we really get that? Unfortunately, I don't think so. ✦ The Art of Kung Fu Panda 4: https://amzn.to/3wREAOy ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

Kung Fu Panda 4 is the latest movie in the popular and surprisingly thoughtful animated film franchise. Jack Black returns to voice Po, a gigantic, adorable panda who becomes the highly unlikely Dragon Warrior. He embarks on a quest alongside a devious fox, played by Awkwafina, to face a new villain, the Chameleon, played by Viola Davis. You got your hero's journey and training montages and some pretty stellar voice acting.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of March 8, 2024. Jack Black is back as Po the Dragon Warrior in "Kung Fu Panda 4," a sequel that kids will enjoy and parents might too. Also in theaters this week, a new entry from Angel Studio’s, “Cabrini" is the true story of a fearless nun who brought compassion to immigrants in New York in the late 1880s. And on the scarier side, or should we say semi-scary side, the PG-13 movie called “Imaginary” stars a more-than-it-seems old teddy bear. For streaming (and Millie Bobby Brown) fans, Netflix has the new movie "Damsel," which, of course, has a princess and a dragon.  The brains behind Fan Effect are connoisseurs of categories surpassing nerdy with a goal to publish a weekly "What to Watch on the Weekend" minisodes, taken from KSL-TV's Friday segment, and two deep-dives a month on shows, creative works, artists, local events, and other fandom topics.  Based in the beautiful beehive state, Fan Effect celebrates Utah's unique fan culture as it has been declared The Nerdiest State in America by TIME, and is hosted by KSL Movie Show's Andy Farnsworth and KSL Podcasts' KellieAnn Halvorsen.   Listen regularly on your favorite platform, at kslnewsradio.com, kslpodcasts.com, or on the KSL NewsRadio App. Join the conversation and get the latest 'nerdly' news on Facebook @FanEffectShow.
