Welcome to the Future

Well, here we are at the end of the first week of Nextlander, and I think it's fair to say all of us are just plain speechless. Actually, two words do come to mind: thank you. We spent the last month wringing our hands about whether we could even pull this off, supporting ourselves by going directly to the people who enjoy what we do, but every person reading this has helped carry Nextlander way, way beyond every goal we set for it. The outpouring of support has been validating and humbling beyond words, and we'll do everything we can to do right by your generosity as we work to build this thing into something we, and you, can be proud of.

Beyond thanking everyone profusely (seriously: thank you, I'll stop thanking you now, but also thank you), we wanted to list out a handful of things that are front of mind for us as we get through the rest of E3 and start hammering out a routine later next week.

Also, because Patreon doesn't surface these as prominently as we'd like, here are links to our Twitch, Twitter, and YouTube in case you need them. And if you need help getting on the Discord, that info is here.

It's still early days around here and we have a ton of stuff to plan, ponder, and implement, so just refer to the large imaginary UNDER CONSTRUCTION .gif over our heads as we tick off these and other items on the to-do list. With your help, we'll turn Nextlander into one of the best places on the Internet to relax, have fun, and share in the things we're all passionate about. Until then, we'll see you at E3! Whatever that is!

-Brad

My first Patreon and looking forward to the future of Nextlander. Follow you onwards and upwards o7

Genji-Gloves

Good to have you guys back. I'm in, let's go!

Steven Walters

Thanks for the week 1 update, Brad. Love what y'all are doing so far!

Pumped that you are doing this. This is my first Patreon and I couldn’t be happier to be supporting you guys and part of this community. Go forth and conquer!

Dr. Karl Lykos

I'll follow you guys anywhere!

Take my money, you beautiful people. First ever Patreon I've backed! Y'all deserve it.

You guys are awesome!

You guys are the first and only Patreon Ive ever backed. Good Luck!

Thanks for the update! Can’t wait to see what you all have in store.

Aaron Cerny

I thought that black cap looked perfect, honestly. He totally pulls that look off.

Matt M.

Well, instant subscriber to the first site at the start. Same here! Make sure to invite the Jeff "I'm back Bakalar" too at some point!

Nikolaus Mach-Hour

The content you guys have already made well surpasses the asking price. I am personally so freaking excited for what Nextlander and the 3 of you can create. Been watching you guys for 10+ years, ready to explore the next 10+ (holy crap I’ll be 44 then…..) CHEERS!

FUTURE!

Nikolaj Jensen

I was more than happy to see you guys back and to support you

Lonnie

I'm beyond excited y'all didn't disappear into the void. Welcome back and I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Can't wait to see what you folks pull off!

Dan Roemer

Couldn't be more happy to have this crew back making great entertainment!

So happy you guys are back! I felt like I lost a part of my life when the Beastcast went away.

I'd like to see Vinny getting a new non ripped hat a priority.

Thank you for any and all update and also thanks for being rad and amazing!

You earned this from years of being you. Just keep being you. We love you all

Still so excited that you are all still working together and, more importantly, glad to hear that you all are happy. Take your time. Your community isn't going anywhere.

I'm so happy to see the support y'all are getting. Just remember that we are supporting you so you can have an enjoyable life, the content is secondary. Don't feel pressured by the level of support to expand your scope. We love what y'all do on any scale.

Whatever that is! Love you guys and glad to see you all so happy. The freedom to ditch the stretched segments of SGF/E3 (full respect to the very hardworking devs) for 1995 and '96 is a glorious thing.

DriftedPlanet

I missed you guys! This has made my week!!

Stephen Beattie

I missed you guys! This has made my week!!

Stephen Beattie

it’s great to have you all back in my ear holes. You were only away for a few weeks but given I’ve listened to you all for the past 13 almost 14 years the absence was notable. Onwards and upwards Nextlander!

Listened & watched everything you guys have put out this week. So glad your all in this together. I think your off to a great start!

So excited to see where this goes and happy to see you thrive with this! Take your time to figure it all out, happy to have the podcasts already, and great to hear about the moderation :)

Awesome to hear thanks

Tim Purcell

Not to put the cart before the horse, but can you imagine the next level when Twitch subs (and specifically gifting Twitch subs) are a thing? That’ll be huge. Congrats on the launch! Y’all are doing the damn thing.

Jonathan Wright

BIG EXCITE. So happy this launch was so far beyond what you guys hoped. Can't wait for whatever comes weeks and months later! But until then, it's time to go to work and miss all the live E3 shows, try not to get spoiled and watch them on my weekend. Whheeeeee!

Derrick C. Shields

I’m not super active in chat or comments, but I I just want to say that I’m fully behind you guys and Nextlander. I’ve been listening/watching since the early Giantbomb days and it feels good to be a small part in this new thing now.

Timmy

Big ol’ hug to all of y’all ❤️

Lasse Momme

This is explained in the tutorial link from this post, but basically you have to go here in your mobile browser: https://www.patreon.com/settings/apps Activate the Discord connection and the channel should pop up in the app.

Congratulations! Take it easy and do not burn out over all the work. Enjoy your launch and play some games!

@Rodrigo Or is it launching!?

Joseph Schena

Nextlander has landed!

EmpanadaEater

Looking forward to it all! Glad to support you guys. P.S. Once I read the word "codify", I knew it was Brad that wrote this. I don't know what that means.

Mike Luna

You’re already off to a great start. Grateful you’re thriving already!

Thanks for the update! I always enjoy this style of messaging. Launch has been wonderful so far! You guys are great!

Speaking of the discord. How the heck do you get in it? I don't see a link anywhere on mobile.

flamingospit

Heck yeah! Crack a cold one and celebrate.

Landon Robinson

You guys deserve all the success and then some! GLHB!

Happy to be here! Literally worth it for the podcast alone. Excited to see what else you guys come up with. :-)

Robert Graham

As someone who's never used discord before, I hope it's easy to figure out how to know when you're streaming and interact with the chat there etc if I'm able to catch you live. Most of the time I've only been able to watch Archives of these kinds of things just because my schedule doesn't always line up, but in those cases where I can I'd love to figure out how to do that.

Limowreck

I’m in for the long haul fellas. As long as you continue to be who you are I will gladly support everyone of you every step of the way!

Christopher Smith

Thank you all for a fun and amazing first week! That first week of May was hard to swallow since I has been a daily GB visitor since 2008. Seeing the Nextlander announcement was something I hoped would come eventually, and everything that I could ask for from you three. I can't wait to see how NL grows over time, and you'll always have us Nextlanders...Nextduders?... Eh, that's a work in progress. Congrats again on a awesome first week guys. #DefJamNYFinishtheFight

Sal

Love you guys, and I'm glad things are working out so well

Awesome first week guys! You more than deserve all the success, and we’re lucky to have all three of you back together again discussing the things we all love. I was super bummed when you three left GB, hoping something like this *might* be a possibility, and here you are - back and better than ever! Can’t wait to hear all the incoming E3 coverage you have in store!

<3

First week has been phenomenal. Happy to have you three back in my podcast feeds and on twitch. Very much looking forward to seeing what's next and meanwhile, I'm happy to support you guys both here and as a sub on twitch as well.

Really enjoyed all the content this week! Excited to be along for the ride.

You three deserve all the success in the world. Congrats on a great first week, and I'm looking forward to the future!

Yep, y'all take your time and don't be stressed that the huge interest means you need to puke out content for us. We are just happy you guys are back and want to support you in your vision, however that looks. =)

What a week, so happy for you guys! I'm also incredibly impressed at how cool and well behaved the discord has been, so many cool people in there. Honestly I don't think it's even an accident, you guys have just a positive effect and attract an awesome crowd

Michael Middleton

Never Be Game Over.

Bionic Dreamer

Take your time!!! I am just so happy to hear y’all weekly again!!

You guys have been apart of my weekly routine for years now, and I am incredibly happy that will continue. I am excited to join y’all on this new journey.

I listened to Beastcast from episode 0 and several years of Bombcast prior to that. I'm beyond excited for what you guys put together, so thank you for the years of laughs and community!

Same as everyone her take your time and thank you for taking the leap. Maybe get a 1990's under construction gif for the discord banner.

I already love what Nextlander is and so excited for what it will be. Thank you guys for being part of my entertainment life since 2005. I'm riding with y'all!

Alexander

It was a great first week! I have been loving everything and can’t wait to see what’s next. Thank you guys for doing all this!

Guys we love you!

Outpost 081

Thanks for the update Brad. You are very humble by nature but know that we have no doubt that this will be successful. Looking forward to the great content!

Take your time. Make sure all 3 of you are able to take care of yourselves. Everyone here is in for the journey.

Sean Fox

Congratulations! And echoing above, take your time, we're here because you deserve the support and we trust you. So glad to see you guys getting to set your own pace and do your own thing! Seeing the positivity from your creative freedom and better work life balance is infectious, enjoy it!

Daniel Bridges

Take your time and have fun #NedFlanders

Jonathan Tsang

Feel confident I speak for many when I say “No no no… thank YOU.”

Well deserved, you guys are doing great work!

James Mauger

Please feel free to take your time, and not worry quite as much about not doing everything all at once. This Bee3 season is busy enough as it is! I’d have been totally content with only a single welcome stream on this first week. You really outdid all expectations, bravo! Our shared excitement could hopefully provide some fuel but remember to take a breath every now and then. Thank you & let’s keep this rolling at a healthy pace for as long as possible!

Daniel F (fds)

Best of luck with all the Under Construction stuff! Very happy to be here

Liam Brown

You all rock! The community too ❤️

We're behind you guys 200%

Great first week, guys! Can't wait to see the great things you'll do!

Congratulations on the launch. We love you and we look forward to this ride!

Frankie Escalona

Hell yeah Brad let’s get it

Sean

At this point, I will ride with you guys for as long as you want to do the thing. Thank you for all of the work you have done throughout the years. I am very excited to see what Nextlander becomes.

Chris

I just want to say that Nextlander popping into existence this week has been awesome, and much needed during a stressful time. I have the utmost faith you guys are going to make awesome things and I’m happy to be here supporting along the way.

Pretty Dece

Thanks for the update, Brad. Congrats on the overwhelmingly successful launch. I’m genuinely as excited for you three as I am to see what you create together. I’ll do my part to keep things heading in the right direction.

SowingShade

Just give Papa his podcasts and some video podcasts and he’s sUper happy.

Remix 26

I love what you guys have done so far . Really fun being on the ground floor of this Nextlander thing.

I’m really surprised by the humility. You guys know how awesome you are, right??

Kevin Kerbleski

You guys are awesome and doing quality work :-)

Javin Mather

Exciting times! Looking forward to future content!

Justin Pearson

Thanks so much Brad for the update and everyone at Nextlander! You guys have already blown me away by how it's gone and each of you seem so much happier and more relaxed. Community's been wonderful so far that I've seen. Can't wait for the rest of E3 coverage and the future of Nextlander! (I say it out loud every time and it sounds pretty normal now) Nextlander

Onion Pete

Hell yea, amazing first week. All the best!

No, thank you!

Brad Boling

Congratulations on an amazing first week! I'm thrilled to support and be along for the ride. The best is yet to come.

Hey! You! Yeah, you! You’re doin’ great. <3

I just want to say Thank You for giving us the opportunity to support you! 😁

CynicalRayzor

You guys are great! Thanks for continuing to make great content!

What a week! This community already seems really chill and cool. That’s a reflection of what kind of people the three of you are. Keep up the great work!

<3

You guys deserve all the good things coming your way!

Suhail Chada

Awesome first week ^_^

Congrats on the awesome launch you guys deserve it

Just wanna let you know Youtuber Patrick Klepek was mocking you guys for being worried about how many patrons you'd get so now you should probably start beefing with them

Jacob Schumer

You guys have been great this week. Keep it up. This also seems to be a cool, active community. I hope it stays chill and posi. ✌
