October is here! That one kind of snuck up on me as did the upcoming release of Assassin’s Creed Mirage at the end of this week! I’m still debating on finishing up Baldur’s Gate 3 or waiting to see if there are more Act 3 content patches… Maybe a good Assassin’s break is in order. Either way, we’re thinking about jumping into that on this Friday’s stream. On Monday we’re continuing our run in Remnant II and on Thursday we’ve got our Grab Bag scheduled. Over on the Watc...

This month, we field questions about being trapped in a Costco, what exactly is in that "I didn't know" bucket, some of our favorite tributes (to us), shaving your head on a dare, the nature of the mysterious Taylor ham, and more.

Greetings, Nextlanders! And a happy October to each and every one of you. I'm sure I've said this many times over the years, but it always bears repeating that this is far and away my favorite month of the year. Autumn is in full swing here in the northern hemisphere, and the spooky flavorings start wafting through the air. And of course, as is tradition, we always book ourselves a slate of horror films to watch to get ourselves in the right mindset.
This year is certainly no different,...

You! Support us generously and help us keep this thing going.
We! Will stream one of the following ideas this Friday as a means of saying thank you.
Vote! With all your might to make sure we stream the best possible stream.
- There's never been a better time for FMV games and so there's probably been a never time to jump in The Isle Tide Hotel! Maybe with a special guest!
- Brad's going to do it. He's going to take the bullet, literally, and finally check out Esca...

We’re back! How did the break go? Well, I got a bunch of stuff done on my garage so that’s great. If you don’t know I’ve got a garage that I’m trying to finish out so I can work out of it when (someday) we attempt to get our basement finished. At this point I’m ready to start painting the walls and doing the trim and moldings. After that I have a few electrical things I want to address (add an outlet here, put a network drop there) and then I should be ready to move in! Very excit...

I just got back from one last hurrah with the kids before they start school, so apologies about the late schedule posting. Hopefully, you caught the Ramblecast this week with Dan Ryckert. I hear Brad learns even more about the dark side of wrestling. Over on the Watchcast we’ve got Porco Rosso, which I highly recommend if you haven’t seen it. Of course we’ve got the podcast this week, where we continue to make our way through Starfield, though I’m pretty excited about a few other game...

Hey everyone! Alex here to give you the full rundown on what we're gonna be checking out for the Watchcast this month. As we've said in our last few streams and podcasts, we're going to be taking the second week of the month off entirely, so there won't be a Watchcast that week. But we still have three movies that we're sure you're gonna love spread throughout the month. Here's what we've got cooking.

Yep, this is the one where we talk about Starfield for like 90 minutes. It's a pretty big game! The Making of Karateka is also just great, Armored Core VI has inspired some mech fever, PlayStation Plus is getting a big price increase, Baldur's Gate 3 isn't getting splitscreen on the series S, and more.

This month's question sesh has us reminiscing about the production of those GOTY skits we did way back when, wondering when it's ever OK to break an embargo, assembling an elite breakfast sandwich, debating the value of YouTube comments (again), analyzing just why Baldur's Gate 3 took off like it did, and more.
