Dragon Quest VIII, Part 5: Port Prospect & Peregrin Quay

In this episode, Brendan is joined by a very special guest: The Hero of Dragon Quest VIII himself!  Since The Hero is a silent protagonist, Brendan explores the inner monologue running through The Hero's mind as he embarks on the Journey of the Cursed King.  What exactly does he think about the various monsters, people, dungeons and towns he comes across on his quest to stop the evil Dhoulmagus?

Important questions will be pondered in this week's episode, such as:

  • What doesn't the Albert family own?
  • Why did no one bother to market a ventriloquizing cephalopod?
  • Why do monsters carry items and gold pieces?  Where do they store them?  

So go find your best weapon (sword, spear, boomerang, or your bare hands), don your best armor, and don't forget to bring along a pot lid and some bunny ears.  Because it's about to get real - Dragon Quest style.  Cor blimey!     


A Little Bit About This Podcast:

Welcome to my first venture into the world of podcasting!  My name is Brendan and your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to join me on my quest to delve deeply into the world of video games, particularly the games that have influenced my life the most.  Along the way, I will explore what makes certain video games addicting, address the negative stigma that unfortunately still surrounds video games, share my own unique experiences with video games, and broaden my gaming horizons by trying out new titles.
