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 382
Hey, jazz cats. It's time to meet some ring-a-ding broads and bears for a swinging time on the strip! We explore the White Glove Society's very secret secret that you'll never guess, the Rat Pack era Chaimen at the Tops, and Vegas's naughtiest casino, the Gamorrean Guards. You'll note we didn't end up making friends with the Boomers, so there are no Boomer jokes this episode.
Also:
- Johnny'z Orbeez Tangent
- More Sexy Options
- The Homestuck Gem
- Becoming the Queen of Vegas
- Canada's Dave Foley

This Week: We enter the New Vegas Strip and meet Mr. House, and confront Benny at the Tops. Recommended quests: Bye Bye Love and How Little We Know at Gomorrah, Beyond the Beef at the Ultra Lux.
Next Week:  We deal with the BrotherHood of Steel and The Great Kahns. WARNING: The end of these quests can trigger the point of no return for your endgame faction. If you’re not sure which way you want to go yet do not report to House, Yes Man, Caesar, or NCR.

Square Roots - Episode 381
Okay, let's get this out of the way first: in this chunker Johnny mixes up Doc Mitchell and Doc Bailey. One is voiced by Michael Hogan and is the doctor in Good Springs, who came from a vault, and the other is the doctor from Vault 22. Michael Hogan played Commander Bailey in Mass Effect, so it's a simple mistake anyone could make. Right? RIGHT?!? Also in this chunker we figure out the best way to get inside New Vegas. 
Also:
- Matthew Hates The King
- Everyone Lies to Keely
- Eating at the Y
- Game Scom

This Week: We go to Boulder City then onto Freeside and complete G.I. Blues for The King, plus other quests on the Vegas Outskirts. Recommended: You Can Depend on Me (Crimson Caravan), Wang Dang Atomic Tango (Atomic Wrangler), There Stands the Grass (Camp McCarran).
Next Week:  We enter the New Vegas Strip and meet Mr. House, confront Benny in the Tops, and secure the cooperation of the Boomers. Recommended quests: Bye Bye Love and How Little We Know at Gomorrah, Beyond the Beef at the Ultra Lux.
