After weeks of exchanging notes on the world famous Dungeons and Diapers podcast, Ryan and Crofton have "rolled credits", as the kids say, on the second part of the Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy.

Meanwhile, Crofton jumps back into Tom Nook's debt in Animal Crossing with one daughter while shooting robot dinosaurs in Horizon Zero Dawn with the other.

Ryan and Crofton tie a ribbon on a few ongoing video games they completed including Astro Bot, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and Metroid Prime 4 before Crofton laments the current state of world affairs and his inability to look away.

It is 2026 and the boys are back so you know what that means? That's right - arguing about the DaD Challenge! Who won? Who lost? What did we learn? But it is never too late to get points on the board as Ryan returns to his childhood with Philip Pullman while Crofton gets zen with meditating.

The alarm has sounded: the CORE boys are up to no good and poor Crofton is the victim. This special edition provides Crofton's counterpoint to Beau's "Valheim Story" from CORE 480.

It is time for Ryan and Crofton to examine the addictive video game drugs of the kid world: Minecraft and ROBLOX. But they are not the experts and invite Gwen and Kayden to visit and explain the appeal of these blocky games. Meanwhile, Crofton tries to get some points in the DaD competition by reading Kazuo Ishiguro's seminal novel Never Let You Go where Ryan goes back to the theatre to watch the latest version of The Fantastic Four. All of that and they both play the same video game at the same time (Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, not Final Fantasy).
