Today we're taking a look and talking about some of the really cool stuff in our DQ collections, like the most amazing poster from DQ Island Beej has ever seen, Austin's favorite shirt, a slime controller, the very first Game Boy Color game that Beej has ever owned, and the sturdiest metal slime 2DS this side of the Pacific. And way more! Leave us a comment or shout out to us on social media to tell us what most prized piece of DQ merch is!

Today we're taking a look and talking about some of the really cool stuff in Austin's DQ collection, like his DQ Tact Super Famicom box (you read that right!), as well as other rare things like his Kenshin Dragon Quest plug-and-play set and how it serendipitously made its way from Japan to south Florida without him even being involved. And way more!

DQXIS was removed from the Switch eShop, but it's back! There's a Dragon Quest golf line of sports merch, and a new DQ Manga--the Mark of Erdrick--coming in September. We're stoked!

At the request of our lovely patron Jeff the Seamonkey, we're talking about DQ Spin-offs that could actually be a success rather than just niche cult classics. It's a lot of fun to get the ideas flowing, and BJ cannot stop thinking about all the various cozy DQ games that could exist. Oh, and Austin was wrong about Ron Glass. He apologizes.

This will probably be our final DQ3 remake episode for a while, at least until BJ finds his Switch and stops being a total goober. The post-game of DQ3 is really cool, though it can get frustrating if you're working on doing it to 100% completion. What have your experiences been with the postgame, and were you like Austin and the superboss? Want to know what that means? And just who is Ron Glass? Gotta listen to find out!

What's that in up in the sky? It is a flying whale? An airship? No! It's Austin riding the slowest flying mount in JRPG history--the Godbird (also known as the Everbird). We talk about a lot this week, including travel times, the end of the game, finding more orbs, and retracing your steps. It's a fun time!

This week, Austin and Beej talk more about Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D remake and the town-building aspect of it. Also, the Nintendo Switch 2 was announced, so that had to be covered, as well as the annoyance of joycon drift and other fun stuff like that.

We discuss it all in this week's episode, and hope that you'll join us!
