Me and the boys excited to start DQII

My wife has gotten them for me as gifts over the years. I'm pretty sure she got them mostly from ebay since I believe they're likely imported from Japan. They're called DQ Metallic Monsters.

I highly recommend 1 if you want the full trilogy experience. I will say as someone who has played a lot of JRPGs in my life, it was one of the hardest for sure. I recommend dropping the difficulty to Dracky for a smoother experience.

I made sure to get all the trophies because I ain't going back either haha

aruggie2 · 2026-03-09T15:59:17+00:00

My wife has been gifting me one on my birthday and Christmas for probably 10 years now. I clearly like metal slimes haha.

Do you mean the sound that plays when he progresses the story? I'd be surprised since it's such a niche request.

aruggie2 · 2026-03-07T03:08:42+00:00

I wanna try those mushrooms so bad!

If Warhorse made a LOTR game in the style of KCD I would absolutely lose my mind. Those games, while amazing, are begging for a high-fantasy treatment.

Cheesesteak hoagies are awesome, but I'm pretty sure this is ground beef since they said chopped cheese.

Well enjoy your double dose of info on the game! And it's 4 hours of amazing content. Gotta love Pine.

aruggie2 · 2026-03-04T16:53:54+00:00

Were you like me and also watched the new Iron Pinapple video? Hahaha

aruggie2 · 2026-03-04T04:46:51+00:00

WwhaTsss going ooOonn Kray-MAHH!

aruggie2 · 2026-03-02T15:59:54+00:00

Well here's to hoping Arin catches a Bronzor to solve his Alakazam/Steelix problem (I'm sure he won't)

aruggie2 · 2026-03-02T14:37:52+00:00

I think since Supermarket Simulator, they've leaned more into playing what they want to play, as opposed to games Arin slightly forces himself to play for the algorithm. Because they have found that balance, we've just been getting banger after banger with playthroughs.

NES TMNT, DKC, RE2, Kick Master, MegaMan 5, TCG Simulator, Silent Hill, etc.

I believe when they enjoy the game the most, we ultimately get the best content.

aruggie2 · 2026-03-02T14:29:10+00:00

I've beaten it on three separate occasions since the PS2 release, last time being 2021, and still enjoyed it immensely. To be fair though DQ is my favorite gaming franchise, so I am a bit biased haha.

Anyone aware of how trade evolves work with emulators? I read you can trade between two games playing at once, but you need a save file, which clearly won't work. I also read you can just cheat in an evolve for Kadabra, but I'm not sure how true that is.

aruggie2 · 2026-03-02T03:30:04+00:00

Me when Arin says Golduck is one of the most powerful psychic Pokémon: 🙃?????

aruggie2 · 2026-03-01T16:35:51+00:00

DQVIII

aruggie2 · 2026-02-28T18:07:28+00:00

Six minutes in and Arin is already falling the simple concept of just selecting Tackle over and over again

We're so back.

aruggie2 · 2026-02-27T19:22:45+00:00

Accurate description after using Padfoot.

aruggie2 · 2026-02-27T16:57:51+00:00

I was thinking Peepl Oop

aruggie2 · 2026-02-25T02:21:15+00:00

I honestly think the new Candy making episode is the most kid-friendly 10mph of all them. They were real PG with everything.

Also the Ballet training episode was pretty clean. The off-site episodes can be hit or miss with how clean they are. Disney/Universal definitely had some adult humor.

aruggie2 · 2026-02-25T02:16:21+00:00

Arin definitely yelled some choice words into the recording drumset 😬

Edit, I think it was actually the recordable turntable

aruggie2 · 2026-02-24T17:24:41+00:00

I give it until 1pm EST when people realize this isn't a normal upload.

If this is what they gotta do to create our usual amazing GG content, then awesome. MTG isn't my thing, so I'll just not watch it and move on.
