Schedule for the Week of 10/20/2025

I’ve almost got all of my network and stuff all moved and set up in the recently-finished-but-yet-to-be-in-inspected basement! That took a lot of the weekend as I also finally transferred two desktop computers to rackmount cases and put them and set up PiKVM on both of them. Seeing as work depends exclusively on my home network, for both me and my wife, my fingers are crossed everything is functioning correctly!

For streaming this week I’m excited to jump into some Next Fest multiplayer demos with Will and Brad. Technically, the Next Fest is over, but we’ve got some demos still kicking around and we’re hoping the servers will still let us play! On Tuesday, we’ve got another treat with Fright or Sh*te pulling in a game from the publisher of fine FMV goodies, Wales Interactive. Then, on Thursday, there’s a brand new Mike and Vinny Destroy the World on the Patreon! Finally, for Friday, we’re still debating what we want to do, though I’ve got a pile of games from the last Grab Bag we didn’t get to, so we’ll see if those make an appearance.

On the Podcast end of things we’ve got Hereditary in the Watchcast, and that’s one of my favorite’s and one that Brad has never seen, so go give a listen to see what he thinks. We’ll have the Ramblecast, and Podcast this week as well.

A very exciting week indeed!

The Nextlander Watchcast
On this week’s Watchcast it’s all about the horrors of the family variety in Ari Aster’s Hereditary. Join us as Brad treks through the movie’s minefield of guilt, grief, and grandma’s weird hobbies for the first time, while Alex and Vinny ponder how the movie lands when you know what’s coming.
