Crubcast

LIVE from a spoiler room in Big Walk, we were locked in for 30 minutes and decided to record a Crubcast. We talk a bit about the game (without many spoilers), then about how it's okay to use a guide sometimes! Plus, we talk about Digimon games and The Legend of Dragoon. It's the perfect podcast.Our entire Big Walk playthrough is here on our Patreon, for free: https://www.patreon.com/collection/2377502 MORE PLACES TO FIND USCrubscribe ► https://bit.ly/CrubcastGet the show early and get exclusive content at our Patreon ► https://www.patreon.com/crubOur Crubcasts are recorded LIVE at https://www.twitch.tv/crub_official every Tuesday at 7pm Eastern, with EXCLUSIVE Pre- and Post-ShowsJoin our Discord ► https://crub.org/joinBlueSky ► https://bsky.app/profile/crub.orgCome join our Steam group ► https://steamcommunity.com/groups/crubclubPodcasts are available on Apple, Google, Spotify, and other platforms are available at ► https://crub.orgTODAY'S CRUBCAST HOSTSChris: https://www.youtube.com/@MykonosFanKevin: https://www.youtube.com/@TheGoldenBoltSean: https://www.youtube.com/@Wolfkaosaun ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
