Things are beginning to move for me in Tears of the Kingdom, though I feel like I’m constantly broke! All these fancy armors and my pockets are mostly empty. Having a good time though, so we’ll probably talk more about that on the podcast. Speaking of the podcast, this week is the Sony PlayStation Showcase and we’re planning to talk over it, so join us for that. Alex and I will be checking out Firmament on Monday, a game by the Myst and Obduction folks, so I’m very curious to see what...

You may have heard Tears of the Kingdom is upon us, so we spend a bunch of time on early impressions and BOTW comparisons this week before moving on to the delightful people-puzzling of Humanity, the Overwatch 2 PvE cancellation, some sure-to-be-timely speculation about the new Mortal Kombat, and more.

Welcome back! I’m playing Tears of the Kingdom and I’m still getting used to the systems and how they can be used in the game (intended or not). We’ll definitely have more Zelda on the Podcast this week along with Humanity, and maybe some Cook Serve Forever. We’ll also be streaming some of those games on Thursday’s Grab Bag stream and we’re looking into some options for our Friday Fun Stream. There’s that Outlast Trials game going into Early Access on Thursday and I wouldn’t m...

Hello Hello! I’m still making my way through Jedi Survivor and I’m glad to say things have picked up a bit now that I’ve gathered up the last two stances, though I kind of want to refund all the points I spent in the other ones! I’m trying to get through as much Jedi I can this week before Zelda hits at the end of the week. We’ll be talking more about Jedi on the podcast this week, and we’ll probably be jumping into Zelda on Friday’s stream. On Thursday we’ll be gathering up s...

I’m making my way through Jedi: Survivor right now and curious to see how things pick up as I’m finding it a bit aimless currently. I have collected a lot of beards though. I haven’t jumped into Redfall yet but I am going to soon as we’ll be talking about it on the Podcast and also streaming it on Thursday. I’m still excited to continue Sons of the Forest on Monday, and I hear we actually might be close to finishing up… something. The story? The Early Access? Something! On Friday ...

Greetings, Nextlanders! Boy, April just kinda flew by, didn't it? But then it always feels that way when you're watching CLASSICS OF CINEMA like we did last month. Well don't you worry, we've got another slate of popcorn classics here for the month of May, and this time YOU, THE VIEWER, chose what we're watching. Out of the four possible themes we had up for vote, Some Guys Are Coming to Kill Us won by a narrow margin. What does that theme entail? It's pretty self-explanatory. We have five fi...

Alex played Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and the UK blocked the Microsoft/Activision merger, so you can imagine we devoted a lot of this episode to those subjects. But also: Advance Wars: Reboot Camp, Horizon: Burning Shores, Stranded: Alien Dawn, condiment strategies, and accidentally getting elected to office.

Greetings, Nextlanders! Hope you're all enjoying April's Watchcast slate. We're nearly at the conclusion of Video Game Movie Month, and now it's time for us to select a new theme. However, it's been a while since we last polled the electorate to see what our Mission Control and Mysterious Benefactor patrons might want to have us watch and chat about, so we're doing a poll! We've got four categories of five movies each for you to consider. Here's what we've got.
