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.

THE Classic RPG Podcast, w/Jim Banks, John Brandon, Matthew Van Zandt & Vanessa

Jul 22, 2019

CW: Child loss, 01h06min-01h12min


So many questions this episode. Are we going to get sick of protagonists Gary and Mogu? Can you get chrysm out of fur? Is there anything sadder than the story of the Nue? Is Bunyan Johnny's new husband? Can we put the ghost of Julian to rest? Should we dwell on Teepo's gender? What is Matthew smoking?


This Week: We start Breath of Fire III and play until killing the boss of Mount Glaus.
Next Week: We escape Momo's Tower in a dramatic manner.


Thanks to Steven Morris for his Breath of Fire III covers that we will use throughout this series.


Check out Steven's music:

https://smarturl.it/MegaBusterEP - Mega Buster, a 5-track EP featuring music from Mega Man 1-5
https://smarturl.it/CriesOfThePlanet - Cries of the Planet, a 9-track album featuring FFVII music (that occurs around the [big spoiler] part of the game)

Johnny starts writing his epitaph after a near-disaster at the Olive Garden in this week's chilling Fallout Finale. What really happened to Vanessa's dog? Is Johnny a psychopath? Did Matthew actually finish the game? Where is Jim? Finally, we get a Parasite Eve / Kingdom Hearts crossover that everyone will enjoy. 

This Week: We finish Fallout!
Next Week: We start Breath of Fire III and play until killing the boss of Mount Glaus.

Jul 1, 2019

Jim, Johnny and Vanessa are drawn into a world of 1970s word games that don't quite work, municipal conflicts best resolved by staying out of it, accidental genocide, crash courses in water pump repair, and trying to save scum their way through some rough Deathclaw encounters!


This Week: We head to Necropolis and The Boneyard!
Next Week: We become Brotherhood Initiates and descent into the Glow!

Welcome to Square Roots's new spin-off podcast: Scare Roots! That's right, evil friends, we are looking at all things horrifying, disqueting, and sinister in gaming.

Thanks to 1 Coin Only for letting us use their chiptune remix of the Gremlins theme.

Johnny and Vanessa head deep into the desert wasteland, two-handedly solving all the townsfolk's problems in Junktown and The Hub. Larry David's crime spree? Solved. Attacks on the caravans? Solved. Casino staff being alive? Solved. Johnny's Vault Dweller Joshton and Vanessa's Vanessa Eym may not be the best or most ethical adventurers, but they get stuff done. Mostly.

This Week: We play through Junktown and the Hub and do a questathon!
Next Week: We head to Necropolis and The Boneyard!

We couldn't find any Fallout 1 covers!

Jun 17, 2019

Yeah! It's time to crawl out of our Vaults and go explore the desert wasteland. On this episode: we deal with 90s UI, talk about hot hot E3 news, have even more problems with 90s UI, try to find brown things on brown floors in brown houses, ignore major plot developments and are otherwise very confused.


This Week: We reach Junktown in Fallout 1!

Finally, Matthew easily plows through Zelda, while John struggles through the finish. With Jim recovering from surgery and Vanessa returning to her home planet it's one more two hander! Topics today include: the death of witch ladies, Nabooru's tragic backstory, Zelda's crystal prison as a metaphor for late capitalism, Persona Q, Fallout excitement, and more! We also get real confused about Zelda timelines.

This Week: We play Ocarina of Time to completion!
Next Week: We reach Junktown in Fallout 1!

Jun 3, 2019

Things get awkward after Vanessa flies back to her home planet and Jim recovers from surgery: that's right, after the level up this is a TWO-HANDER. John continues his angry rage against Nintendo and Ocarina of Time, Matthew lords his skill at Zelda over him, and they fairly easily complete The Hardest Zelda Dungeon Ever. Also: Vanessa has another Theatre Minute! Was the Zelda experiment a failure? Will it destroy the podcast?

NO! THE NEXT GAME IS ANNOUNCED AND WE ARE ALL EXCITED!

This Week: We complete the Shadow Temple!
Next Week: We finish Ocarina of Time!

HEYYYYYY OCARINA. Vanessa gets a theme song, John throws his expensive electronic equipment in a fit of rage, there's tons of minigames, Matthew figures out how to skip entire dungeon sections, and there's many hot takes about this game, it's controls, and for some reason the works of Kevin Smith.


This Week: We clear the Fire Temple!
Next Week: We somehow complete the Water Temple!

Be prepared to throw your 3DS across the room, because Vanessa, Jim, Matthew and John are back and haven't quite mastered the ancient art of z-targeting. At all. Even while using their wrists. So pull on your stilletos, because on this episode: we meet the Great Fairy; we find a town full of strapping, stereotypical fail sons; head through the Dodge Durango dungeon; John falls in love with the Gorons; we discover Link's boundary issues; we have several cutscenes of large men behaving very, very strangely; the most jam-packed John's Bullshit Minigame Corners ever; and heck somehow even Avengers: Endgame talk sneaks in. Also a new fact about Vanessa is revealed! SHE IS NOT A NOTARY PUBLIC.


This Week: We find the crystal inside Jabu-Jabu!
Next Week: We clear the Fire Temple!

Hey! Our level up went incredibly long, and was mostly spoilers, so here it is in its own little package.

00:00 - Thrill as we break down The Avengers: Endgame and answer questions that you probably know the answers to!

 

34:00 - Ready for some Crazy Ex Girlfriend talk? We discuss the good and bad of the ending, Greg, and the results of Rebecca's romantic pursuits!

May 13, 2019

We talk about a spoilerzone at the end of the episode, but it turned out to be so beefy we've moved it to a separate episode! Check your feed!

It's a new game! We get to Ocarina some Time! We get acquainted with some glowing ladies, a forest boy without a fairy who never talks, get into some deep vore with a tree, explore Jim's arachnophobia, Matthew explains how motion controls work to Jim (move your wrists), John gets gay married to a shopkeeper, and so much more!

This Week: We finish the Lost Woods in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time!
Next Week: We get inside Jabu-Jabu and assumably are excreated out of it.

May 6, 2019

With these fateful words, Earthbound comes to a close. We tear through Ness's subconscious, lose Jim, deal with the shock and horror of instakill attacks, and finally learn to use thoughts and prayers to solve a problem. Also: so much body horror.


This Week: We finish Earthbound!
Next Week: We finish the Lost Woods in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time!

Ness doesn't know who you are. Ness doesn't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom I can tell you Ness doesn't have money, but what Ness does have are a very particular set of skills. Skills Ness has acquired over a very long career. Skills that make Ness a nightmare for people like you. If you let Apple Kid go now that'll be the end of it. Ness will not look for you, Ness will not pursue you, but if you don't, Ness will look for you, Ness will find you and Ness will kill you.

Apr 22, 2019

We're going to a pyramid! That's right! We're stealing cultural relics, entering a pastiche of China via Japan, failing to use proper signalling to attain enlightenment, trying to figure out the lyrics to Venus, wake up on a beach after getting a little too blazed on some edibles, and regret Jim's hangover.

This Week: We get a submarine!

Apr 15, 2019

Vanessa gets Star Wars crazy on this sprawling episode of Square Roots! We settle on Tony's sexuality while also learning how to spell "Tony", get drugged on a beach, fight the third strongest mole, get hassled by cops, get lost in Moonside for hours, meet a man with a spectacular unibrow, bail the discount Blues Brothers out of another jam, get bored at a concert, enjoy a terrible inventory-stretching dungeon, and so much more!

We find out why only a Grey Warden can defeat an archdemon, Vanessa has to lend out Alistair's chunker, John does a Riordan voice that just annoys Matthew, Jim gives up, Matthew takes the path of ultimate good, no one bothers with Loghain, and we debate whether or not having an elder god in the body of a child is such a great thing to do.

On this exciting episode of Square Roots Johnny is dummy thicc, Matthew is chasing Waterfalls, Vanessa's mom may be the Nanny from Muppet Babies, and Jim is the true Captain Marvel fan.

Also: Vanessa is the woman of 1000 Stewarts, forcing yourself into royalty, Battle Alita Toshinden, impromptu Patreon stretch goals, random pitchforkings, and dealing with the future of Ferelden. It's rad!

This Week: We have the Landsmeet!
Next Week: We finish Dragon Age: Origins!

NEXT GAME ANNOUNCED! Matthew, Vanessa, John and SOMEONE ELSE pack up and head to Denerim, harden Alistair, clear out a brothel, fight in alleys, and maybe get the nicest ladies in the party to try and murder you. Talking points include a village where everyone acts like people in a creepy Stephen King community, adopting the "money pweez" roleplaying stance, The Wynne Button, and settling the Brother Giovanni Ribisi / Brother Jen of Tilly debate forever.

This Week: We head out to Denerim and find the Urn of Sacred Ashes!
Next Week: We have the Landsmeet! And declare a new ruler of Ferelden!

Thanks to Edward Alenko for letting us use his excellent cover of Leliana's Song.

Vanessa, Matthew and The Gay One link arms as we descend into the creepy, spooky, goopy depths of the Deep Roads! We're joined by the handsome dwarf Oghren, watch as he gets an aximonious divorce, summon the power of Andraste, and more! Topics discussed include: Matt's Mom's MMO Moments, Caridin's big ol' chest, hot political debates between Harrowmont and Bhalen, face blasting, top level PUBG strats, Parasite Eve amounts of breasts, and discovering secret Shale backstory. You'll love it!

This Week: We crown a new king of the Dwarves!
Next Week: We prepare for the Landsmeet!

We dive head first into a Shakespearean Dwarf drama as we interfere with the politics of Orzimarr on this intrieguing episode of Square Roots. Highlights include: trying to figure out what the show Banshee is about, and it's either about wendigos, special forces, or real estate developers. Also: sexy, sexy Dwarf men, the DLC golem Shale, KITTY GLOWY EYES, the TV show Magicians, what The Great British Baking Show taught us about The Proving, and so much more!

This Week: We pick a side in the Dwarf Dispute until we're asked to head to the Deep Roads!
Next Week: We crown a new king of the Dwarves!
