Grandia II Part 1: Max Load
Square Roots - Episode 457
Level Up Starts at 01:58:30Are you ready to dive back into the exciting world of Game Arts's Grandia on this exciting new chapter of Square Roots? We ask all the important questions, like what is a geohound? A guy looking for rocks? A risk breaker? A dog looking for rocks? We can't be sure, but we do know one thing: Ryudo is a big ol' asshole. Hopefully this is setting him up for a Zidane style JRPG character arc.

Square Roots - Episode 451
Level Up Starts at 01:27:30We finally meet Matt's favourite friends, Thief: The Dark Project's Rat Men. Or... are they dinosaurs?

Why do they sound like Gollum?
