This is the last episode of RPGrinders before hitting the huge milestone of 600 episodes! This isn't the pen ultimate episode because next week isn't the end. With 599 episodes complete, the RPGrinders are still going strong with no signs of stopping!
This episode includes news about the upcoming release of Ys Origins for the Switch, Vagrus: the Riven Realms coming to Steam and GOG on July 22nd, Dragon Marked For Death coming to the Playstation Network, and Monster Rancher 2 being ported to the Switch and mobile platforms later this year.
Frank reviews the horror movies Beach House and Rattlesnake. He also reviews Disney Plus' latest release, the musical Hamilton.
As usual, there are plenty of Stinkos. The spread of COVID-19 continues to be a hot topic, as well the lack of separation of church and state. It's not all bad though because Frank's car and the SCOTUS might be Stinkos but they are also Sweetos! You'll have to listen to find out why.
Before ending another fun episode, the Grinders spend time preparing for episode 600. That episode will feature a 64 bracket style tournament to determine what is the greatest cartoon series of all time! Let us know your favorite cartoons.
Never bury the lead.
There will be a contest for a free game for chatters as well as a gift card for listeners!

On this extra stuffed episode, the Grinders discuss Brazilian developers, baseball nonsense, and murder. Not to mention, tons of news, a couple of reviews from Eric, and Frank going to war against the Confederacy. Don't worry about Frank because Confederates always wave the white flag in defeat.
A lot of news including a vague release date for Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memories, the pc release of Little Town Hero, the delay of Cyberpunk 2077, and the console release of some Toaplan shmups.
Eric enjoyed the Definitive Editions of Ori and the Blind Forest as well as Xenoblade but Frank can't hide his displeasure with Velocipastor.
For the final show segment, Frank points out the absurdity of praising the treasonous Confederacy. Net to end on such a sour note, the Grinders also talk about some of features of the upcoming Xbox Series X.
The RPGrinders stand with America, not treason!

This episode we have a steady flow of RPG news, the guys talk phrases that are rooted in racism, virtue signaling, and other lively and "fun" stuff. Erik and Frank review lots of stuff, Break gets a new throne/captains chair, and finally Frank gets peed on! (wait, did i say that out loud?). Also, Break has four computers.....none of them work for RPGrinders. I think its time for a second job? ;) Thanks for listening!

The crew does a tiny bit of news before moving on to their stinkos and sweets. Among them, they talk more about the protests and the police brutality continuing to escalate against peaceful protesters, and how our 'President' continues to be a fascist. Afterwards there are some movie reviews from Frank, and we discuss the toll of mental health game developers take in their insanely impossible pursuit of making games more realistically violent. There's also talk about the absurdity of curfews. Eric also announces his departure from VOGNetwork.com. Be sure to check out the show live on Twitch and Youtube Fridays at 7PM EST!

On this episode of RPGrinders, the issue of police violence and the murder of George Floyd are addressed. Although time is made for the normal show segments, the issue of how the police treat minorities is important enough to be this episodes main focus. The Grinders even invite their good friend @freak5chaos to join in on the discussion.
Frank has a lot to say about the police, racism, murder, civil unrest, and years of oppression. He has never hid his feelings about police. He also wants to know how others feel. If you want to defend the police or agree with Frank, just tweet @RPGrinders and let us know.
Even though the topic at hand is of the most importance, the Grinders still have to put on a show. A lot of gaming news stories, including the upcoming Dragon Quest: Adventure of Dai. Adventure of Dai is coming to consoles, phones, arcades, and it's even getting a TV show.
Fuck the police.
