Hip Squared Season 3 Episode 3
In this episode of Hip Squared, John talks about Dragon Quest XI, the newest installment of one of the most influential and longest running Japanese Role-Playing Games (JRPGs) ever made. Each game has been designed by Yuji Horii, with art by Akira Toriyama (of Dragon Ball fame) and music composed by Koichi Sugiyama. This trio has helped guide RPGs from the 8-bit Nintendo (Famicom) days all the way up into the present. Hear John nerd out, and Troy figure out just why the hell this game is such a big deal in the first place.Then Troy takes us to another world of fantasy with Avatar: The Last Airbender. Now on Netflix. This animated show was created for Nickelodeon in 2005 by Michael DiMartino and Brian Konietzko. With head writer Aaron Ehasz, they sculpted a world based on ancient Asian fantasy, martial arts, fantastic creatures and an epic adventure for kids, teens and everyone. Ehasz also helped create the Dragon Prince with Justin Richmond, another animated fantasy (this time with a medieval European theme). The Dragon Prince was the focus of Hip Squared Season 2 Episode 4. Episode art by Akira Toriyama. Produced by Maplex Monk. Thanks for listening to Hip Squared!

Hip Squared Season 3 Episode 2
In this episode of Hip Squared, Troy talks about the game Animal Crossing for the Nintendo Switch. This game blends sandbox style style gameplay with an emphasis on hanging out with friends and strangers. The player manages their home and island, including its residents, while trading resources and hanging out with their real-life buddies. In this time of social distancing and self quarantine, its social aspect has become more important than ever. Then John talks about the app Seek by iNaturalist. Seek encourages the user to find different species wherever they go to identify and record them. This free app also gathers data for iNaturalist about where species exist and whether they’re cultivated or wild. It includes a gameification element, promoting the user to new levels as they find more and more species. It’s an excellent way to get people to explore outside and interact with nature. Produced by Maplex Monk. This is our first episode since social distancing began, so special thanks to Maple for all his hard work. Thanks for listening to Hip Squared!
