Schedule for the Week of 09/29/2025

I’m back from vacation! I sanded and stained many doors (for the basement). I delivered many packages (in Death Stranding 2). I made many bad food choices (because I’m a weak, and easily corruptible soul). Even though I’ve now sunk close to something like 70 hours into Death Stranding 2, I feel like I have a long way to go. I also dropped more time into Silk Song and Ghost of Yotei, but the majority was very much into Death Stranding 2, which was clearly the right choice because now I’m tight with the pizza guy.

This Monday, Brad and I are finally jumping into V Rising, a game I’ve heard a lot about and have been curious to play for a long time! On Tuesday there are almost too many options to play while Abby joins us, from Silent Hill to a new Agatha Christie game, but I landed on Blippo+ (FMV, of course) but will keep the others in reserve if it falls flat. Then, on Friday, we’ve got a Patron’s Choice stream, with a poll (or two) currently live, so go get your voting in!

Over in Podcast Land we’ve got our second (and final for now) Columbo episode with none other than William Shatner! What a ham! Of course, we’ll have the Ramblecast, and the NXL Podcast, along with a Never Been a Better Podcast coming up before the end of the month!
