Hey, This Is A Really Cool Red Dragon’s Battle Sword From Medieval Collectibles

Dragon Quest Your Story (Movie Review)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0AjsxXQGOs Dragon Quest Your Story released on Netflix on February 13, 2020. I was understandably excited. You know this. I know this. We all know this. I've talked about it on the Dragon Quest FM podcast, I've written posts about it,...

For the last few weeks, I’ve been talking about Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen. You can find my previous posts on this great game here. This week, we’ve finally reached the last (and longest) chapter: The Chosen! Heroic Origins Besides a very brief prologue...
Ten Reasons I Love Dragon Quest (And You Should Too!)

How to Unlock More Party Members in Dragon Quest X
One of my favorite parts of Dragon Quest X is that it can be played completely solo, even though it's technically an MMO. This doesn't mean that you have to go on the journey alone, however. Dragon Quest X implements a system which allows you to hire AI party members...

Dragon Quest VIII: Heroes and Villains
This week, we've finally reached Dragon Quest VIII! It's the next-to-last main entry game I have left to play. I'll admit, I've taken it much slower with this game for a number of reasons. (1) I'm almost to the end of playing all the mainline DQ games this year, and...
