Square Roots - THE Classic RPG Podcast

Square Roots is like a book club, but for classic RPGs! Each episode John, Matthew, Jim and Vanessa play through another chunk of one of your favorite RPGs, from Final Fantasy through Chrono Trigger. Are they experts? No. Are they qualified? Absolutely not. Are they good at RPGs? Probably not. But they're the fun kind of dumb, and that's what counts.

Square Roots - Episode 377

UPDATE: Johnny’s computer got dead enough that it is being fixed by the Geek Squad! Yay! On this Jimless episode of Square Roots Johnny, Vanessa and Matthew get frequently derailed by asides to the point where they forget what they’re supposed to be doing, but what they’re doing is recording the penultimate episode of our book club style playthrough of Lunar! That’s right, there’s every kind of reveal. Was Matthew correct?

 

Also:

- Johnny and Vanessa Fail Astronomy
- Big Polyamory Is Killing Mom and Pop Cuck Chair Shops
- Johnny Eats A Cookie
- Black Lipstick Equals Evil

- Kate Bush’s Hit “How Can You Be Dying When You’re Standing Next To A Grave”

Square Roots - Episode 376
It's a Jim Edit, so you know what that means: NOTHING GETS CUT OUT. This is Square Roots the way THE MAN won't let us do it: RAW and UNCUT. No one's diffusing these TRUTH BOMBS as we play through a seemingly uncontroversial chunk of Game Arts's pleasant RPG Lunar: The Silver Star. In this chunk we're heading through a couple of lost woods, talking to a dragon who may already be dead, engaging in tricky relationship dilemmas, and experiencing the taste of betrayal once again.
Also:
- Go-Go Dancer #3 Is An Ex of Mine
- Boat Dracula!
- Jim Doesn't Accept Your Pity
- Tempestt & Bledsoe
- What Is Sex If Not A Fight In Bed?
- No I Didn't Think He Was Not Coming Back


This Week: Defeat the Magic Masher in Ruid!
Next Week:  We defeat Xenobia in [REDACTED]'s Fortress

Square Roots - Episode 375
Oh boy! We get to meet so many dragons, and yet... not in time? Yeah, we get a lot of very brief dragon encounters, but not the Bad Dragon kind, in this chunker of Game Arts's Lunar. Sadly no Matthew's game because we were on a tight time schedule.
Also:
- A Campaign of Terror Against My Friends and Family
- I Was A Drunk Six Year Old
- The Secret Origin of Duran Duran's A View To A Kill
- We Don't Like Slapping Music
- He Smiled To Make Vanessa Melt
- You Gotta Tag Your Porn


This Week: Reach the top of.Myght's Tower!
Next Week:  Defeat the Magic Masher in Ruid!
