Hello universe! First just want to recognize an incredible milestone. We've hit 10,000 patrons! It's an incredible number, and certainly not one we expected to hit so quickly. We're saying this a lot lately, but thank you all for coming out and supporting us. It means the world.
Welcome to day 2, Nextlanders! Folks, we are absolutely blown away by the response since we launched yesterday. Again, thank you, thank you, thank you for coming out and supporting us. We'll be back on Twitch today for a couple of hours starting at 3pm eastern, so stay tuned!
Good afternoon, Nextlanders! At 2pm Eastern time today, Brad, Vinny, and Alex will be joined by
@austin_walker
to talk over Geoff Keighley Presents Hot Game Summer. Tune in for world premieres and world class commentary!
Elsewhere, we've also recorded the first (zeroth?) episode of The Nextlander Podcast, our flagship show! If you'd like a brief intro to who we are and what we plan to do, check it out!
Good morning, Nextlanders! Time for another announcement! Today we're announcing Never Been a Better Podcast, a monthly get-together with some old friends you may know and love from the Beastcast days. Details are in the updated blog post!
Many thanks to
@austin_walker
for joining us for today's summer games nonsense. We've got a whole bunch of co-streams coming up with the
@Waypoint
folks over the next few days, so prepare yourselves accordingly!
Hey all, Alex here. Unfortunately I had a catastrophic crash as I was editing today's episode of the Watchcast, and lost about three hours of work. Good news is no files were lost or anything, just time. So today's Watchcast will post early tomorrow. Thanks for your patience.
OK OK, we said a couple of hours, but the support has been SO OVERWHELMING that we've been neck deep in saying hi to all of you in the discord and getting all our stuff sorted. So look for us at at 4:30pm eastern time. We'll do our dangedest to be on time.
We've just spent most of today getting things together and recording the first full episode of The Nextlander Podcast, which will be up for Patrons as soon as we're done editing it (and for everyone else tomorrow morning), so look out for that!
Hi! We've been kicking around the idea of doing some more VOD content around games we're playing, and we've just posted our first effort on that front! Here's the crew checking out Twelve Minutes!
But the best part of all this? The very first episode, featuring
@austin_walker
and
@DanRyckert
is live right now for all our Core Crew, Mission Control, and Mysterious Benefactor patrons right now! This very second! …
We all had a good laugh at how ridiculous this music muting solution is, but I (Alex) want to reiterate that this is a studio trying to solve a problem that it shouldn't be on them to solve in the first place. This is Twitch's problem to figure out with the recording industry.
Wow
@LifeIsStrange
with Streamer mode on is hiliarious, how'd y'all not add in other royalty free music in its place? Everything in that first
@nextlander
stream was even more ridiculous when characters were listening/miming instruments to music that wasn't there
For our first ongoing series,
@bradshoemaker
is gonna take the rest of us into the world of State of Decay 2 and show us what survivin' in this hellworld is all about! Come join us!
Hello! Abby Russell and Austin Walker join us this month for Never Been a Better Podcast. We talk about pottery, watching TV while eating, and we try to explain what 'scrambled porn' is and why it existed. It's out now over on our Patreon. Go check it out!
In just about half an hour, we're gonna go live for Extra Life for a few hours with a smattering of different games. We're teaming up with the
@giantbomb
crew this year, and you can donate here!
i would just like to say i think the
@nextlander
guys are doing great work with their streams and podcasts so far. this is the official Yelix seal of approval
Happy Deathloop embargo day, everyone! Today at 2PM eastern, the Nextlander crew is gonna be showing off some of the game live on Twitch. Mark your calendars accordingly!
Also literally the only thing my puppy has not freaked out to on TV is
@nextlander
. We have not determined what type of game shows she likes yet, though. So congratulations to
@nextlander
for being the chosen video game entertainment of chocolate labs.
We're sure there's a simple context to this tweet that makes it make sense that we're probably just not remembering at the moment, but removed from that context, this is a very funny thing to have tweeted at you.
We're up to episode 53 of The Nextlander Podcast, which means we've been doing this show for over a year! Thanks to everyone who's supported us and listened. This week's ep is now live for everyone, so join us as we talk about Keigh-3 and related events!
Just a quick housekeeping note: I (Alex) woke up feeling a little off today, so I'm gonna punt on today's morning stream and resume Ghosthunting on Thursday. We will all reconvene today at 3pm Eastern / 12pm Pacific for The Great Hitmarathon, as usual!
We at Nextlander do not explicitly encourage our Watchcast listeners to buy the movies we watch on LaserDisc, but we do endorse it when they make that choice themselves.
Our patrons voted, and they wanted to see us start up our long talked about Hitman marathon--a Hitmarathon, if you will--as our next show. So we're gonna kick that off in just a few minutes! Come join us!
Got some changes to the schedule this week, which are currently posted in our community discord, but as far as today is concerned, all you need to know is that we will be streaming FMVinny today at 4pm eastern! We're gonna finish up 13th Doll, for realsies!
In just a couple of hours (at 2pm eastern), we'll be live with another episode of Here Decay, Gone Tomorrow! We're up to a mid-sized base, but we're not satisfied! Only the largest base will do! Time to clean house and gain some more influence!
Update! There was a miscommunication about the video embargo for Twelve Minutes, so the video is temporarily down. It'll be back up tomorrow at 12 eastern, 9 am pacific. Stay tuned!
Make sure to set aside some time this afternoon, as Vinny and Brad will be diving once again into the mechanical challenges of Scrap Mechanic today at 1pm Eastern!
We're done working for the year, but we've still got plenty of NXL content for you to check out, including the first episode of our two-part GOTY podcast! Spend some holiday time listening to us knock through some personal and team categories!
We would never ask this of you. Unless we were covering it for the show, then we would ask this of you. But we did not cover it for the show. So we are not liable for any recent Blade Trinity viewings.
Alex and Brad are out today so I (Vinny) am going to play some very late to end-game Alan Wake II today at 1PM Eastern! So warning, big SPOILERS and big fun? Big scares? Big reloading of saves? Gonna be big!
In the long, storied history of humanity, no one has ever finished Metroid--it's true, look it up. But today, that changes.
@bradshoemaker
is gonna do what no one else has ever done. Come watch this momentous moment for all humankind!
The latest episode of The Nextlander Podcast is here! This week the crew chats about Nintendo's sort-of-new Switch, live service Assassin's Creed, and their experiences in FFVII Remake! Check it out on Patreon, or wherever you get your podcasts!
In just a couple of minutes, we'll be premiering the first episode of Comfy Crew, featuring the one and only
@MerryKish

We're about to go live with Nintendo's direct w/
@austin_walker
and
@patrickklepek
! What will they show? What can WE show? NOBODY KNOWS. Come hang out and discover with us.
Hook up your flame units and get ready for a bug hunt, as in about one hour (noon eastern), the Nextlander crew is going to unite to shoot some dang aliens in Aliens: Fireteam Elite!
Hey everyone! Just a heads-up that due to some scheduling stuff on our end, we won't be able to record the podcast until tomorrow, which means it won't go up early for patrons and will post later on Thursday than usual. Appreciate your understanding, thanks!
The always fantastic
@austin_walker
and
@ybbaaabby
join us on a brand new Never Been a Better Podcast where we talk about our childhood dream jobs, Generation Alpha, and Tom Cruise's choices regarding plane safety. Come have a listen!
What a Very Vinny Morning(TM)! I (Vinny) am going to check out some Boomerang X at 11AM Eastern over at and I'd love if you'd join me on this journey of discovery.
In the spirit of trying to finish off some games before the end of the year, it's time for Alex to knock out the remaining big races in Forza Horizon 5. Come hang out while we crash into stuff!
Great news! We've got a brand new highlight video from our latest, amazing Lethal Company run! Now you can live the madness in around 10 minutes.

We're starting to wind down operations for the year, but we've got a couple of more streams coming up this week, and our final two Nextlander Podcast episodes posting next week and...today! The first half of our GOTY deliberations is live right now!
