Halloween is almost here and we've got Dan, Abby, Bakalar, and Austin here to share in the spirit or SPIRITS of the season.
NOTE: Possibly some movie/TV spoilers in here, but I think you're fairly safe. I put the main one in the time markers.

We're in it now: the fabled fourth quarter. Are there games to match the grand reputation of this time of year? How about Overwatch 2, Scorn, A Plague Tail: Requiem, Gotham Knights, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, Bayonetta 3, and the Resident Evil Village DLC? Those are video games! Listen to us plan about them!

This week, we did battle with the Overwatch 2 launch (and lost), got lost in the giant Grounded backyard, checked out the closed alpha of The Finals, said a preemptive goodbye to Stadia, stared in bafflement at anime Need for Speed, and took our very last opportunity to speculate about Chris Pratt's Mario voice.

Hello! Well, the world of video games will never stop moving, that’s for sure. Whether its the games, the news of the games, or the news of the people that cover the news of the games! This week we’re looking to jump into some Grounded together and later in the week we’re looking to get together and stream a grab bag of games that have caught our attention. Gabriel Knight will also return at the end of the week, as well as an October Planorama.! The Watchcast, Ramblecast, an...

Who goes there?!? Why, it's nobody but the cast of the Nextlander Watchcast, of course! We're just here to enjoy a genuine horror classic in John Carpenter's The Thing, and certainly not planning to absorb you, dear listener. We would never do that! Now sit back, relax, and enjoy a quality podcast about a quality film and don't mind that slithering sound you hear behind you. Nothing to be concerned about.

Greetings, Nextlanders! It's Alex here once again to give you the rundown on the upcoming Watchcast schedule for October. As this is legally recognized as the spooky month, we're putting Star Trek on hiatus until November to fully dig into some classic horror and horror-like films. Our theme for our very first spooky Watchcast series features a director very near and dear to my heart, The Horror Master himself, John Carpenter. With five Mondays in the month, we've got five of the man...

This week, Alex checked out Bayonetta 3 and Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope, Vinny finished Monkey Island, we Ranched some Slimes Part II, Railgrade came out, a bunch of new E3 details dropped, Brad ate his first chicken bake, and more!

Here's your last chance to vote before the demons hold sway, so make it count! And as always, thanks for your support.

Welcome back! There are at least two releases this week I’ve been really anticipating and they are Return to Monkey and Slime Rancher 2! I don’t know how much I’ve talked about Slime Rancher, but I got into it with my kids and wound up really enjoying it so much I even finished up the story… at some point long ago, in the whirlpool of time that was. I’m very curious to jump back into the sequel and see what’s new. As for Monkey Island, well, I’m a big adventure game fan an...
