The Week That Was: 10/24 - 10/29/2021

Hey everyone, and a happy Halloweekend to you all! Hope you are enjoying some good horror movies/shows/games, or absent that, just going ripshit on some cheap post-Halloween candy come Monday. If you're looking for more Halloween-ish stuff to watch this weekend, why not partake of some of this past week's Nextlander shows? It ain't all Halloweeny, but it's all good! And that's what really matters, right?

The Nextlander Scream Team: Alien: Isolation -- Part 03 

A hearty congrats to our good friend Abby, who announced this week that she will be joining the team at the new G4, but don't you worry, she's still hanging with us a little bit longer to continue her adventures in Alien: Isolation in VR. The last episode for this run should be up tomorrow, so look out for it!

Absolutely Alex Mornings: Ghosthunter -- Part 03
Absolutely Alex Mornings: Ghosthunter -- Part 04

On this week's pair of morning Ghosthunting adventures, we beat the piss out of Franken-gator, befriend a nice librarian ghost, learn about the value of smoke grenades, and arrive on a ghost ship infested with British people.

The Amazing Hitmarathon -- Episode 05 

Our Bradley continues the hard work of chipping away at Vinny's lead, showing terrific patience and quick thinking as we work our way through the last three main maps in Hitman 2. Next week we'll tackle Hitman 2's pair of DLC maps, and possibly make our first foray into Hitman 3!

Weekly Ramblecast 020: The Mythical Full-Size Candy Bar 

On this week's decidedly Halloween-themed ramble cast, we debate our rankings of the Treehouses O' Horror, tell stories of Halloween mischief past, consider who the true masters of horror are, and yell at Vinny over his general dislike of candy.

Vinny and Alex Play Dark Pictures: House of Ashes -- Part 01 

The latest installment of the Dark Pictures Anthology has arrived, so Vinny and Alex team up to take on this co-op horror show. Will any of the main characters survive by the time we're done with it? Only one way to find out!

The Nextlander Podcast 021: Ready to Flark Scrat Up 

On this week's Nextlander Podcast, Alex and Vinny are surprised by how much they don't hate Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, Brad and Vinny begin their journey through history in Age of Empires IV, Alex returns to the aggressive misery of Darkest Dungeon II, and we spend some time spoiling Inscryption and Metroid Dread (bless those chapter markers).

Brad Goes VR in Resident Evil 7 -- Part 02 

Brad Shoemaker's nerves of steel are tested this week as he meets the mold monsters for the first time, gets chased around the house by Daddy a good bunch, then regrettably brings a knife to a chainsaw fight.

Patron's Choice for October: The Jackbox Party Pack 8 (w/ bonus Exploding Cage Death Match Action) 

Our Mission Control-and-up tier patrons voted, and they wanted to see us do some Jackbox, so Mary Kish joins us to take on this latest collection of weird party games. And before she arrives, I finally make good on my threat to introduce Vinny and Brad to the world of '90s death match wrestling by showing them Onita vs. Hayabusa from 1995!

And that was the week, and the month of October! Thank you all as always for your continued support, and may you have a safely spooky Halloween!
