The Week That Was: 10/04 - 10/08/2021

Happy weekend, Nextlanders! Hope you're all having a good one. And if any of you were maybe hoping to use some of this off time to catch up on our most recent content, you're in luck! This post has all of the week's stuff in one handy dandy place! Amazing! What a concept!

And without further ado, here's all the stuff we done made this past week!

The Hitmarathon -- Episode 02 

Brad and Vinny continue their race to complete every Hitman map as quickly as possible, and even toss in a little elusive target exhibition action this week, as a treat.

Monthly Planorama 005: October 2021 

Once again it is time to go through the month's release calendar and highlight the stuff we think we wanna play. If you give this a listen and notice we missed something you think is cool, by all means let us know in the Discord! We covered a pretty wide swath of games this month, but there's always one or two things we might inadvertently skip over.

Alex and Vinny Play Life Is Strange: True Colors -- Part 04 

Yes, we are continuing to uncover details of the mystery that led to our brother's untimely death, and we are doing our best to emotionally help everyone around us, but none of that is important this week because it's LARP TIME. LARP! LARP! LARP LARP LARP LARP! (Imagine this being chanted to the tune of LMFAO's "Shots")

Weekly Ramblecast 017: A Post-Paste Individual 

On this week's Ramblin' cast, Vinny and I recount the story of me going over to his house to build me a new PC (and for me to tune up his drums), we debate thermal paste application methods, the various works of Armando Iannucci, and somehow end up on the subject of last year's hellish Robert Downey Jr. Dr. Dolittle adaptation.

The Nextlander Podcast 018: Handcuffed to a Desk 

On this week's podcast, we discuss the tired-ass formula of Far Cry 6, the intriguing vibes of JETT: The Far Shore, the recently released Outer Wilds DLC, and recount stories of Nintendo's various methods of ensuring absolute security for its review codes over the years.

Full Motion Vinny: Ripper -- Episode 07 

This is game is way longer than we gave it credit for! And this week's episode is chock full of perhaps the MOST acting of any episode so far! Unfortunately, I think that means we may be in for a cavalcade of cyberspace puzzles next week. But we'll worry about that then! For now, just enjoy the sheer volume of Walken, David Patrick Kelly, and Giamatti we get this week.

Nextlander Is Back 4 More with Back 4 Blood! 

Abby Russell joins us for another Friday stream, and this week we're returning to the four-player co-op zombie slaying action of Back 4 Blood! How many zomb--er, freak--I mean, infec--sorry, sorry, "RIDDEN" will we slay this week? Watch to find out!

And that was the week that, uh, was! Thank you to all of our patrons once again for your continued support. Y'all are what keep us here in front of these screens, chattin' it up and playing these games, and we're glad to have you all with us. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and we'll see you on Monday!
