The Week That Was: 01/24 - 01/28/2022
🕑 Added 2022-01-30 19:06:23 +0000 UTCGreetings, Nextlanders! I hope you're having a warm, toasty weekend wherever you are. Not that we haven't been staying indoors for the better part of the last two years now, but we extra stayed indoors this weekend as we got something like a foot of snow dumped on us. I've been using that time to catch up on some games, and if you're stuck indoors, maybe you'd like to use that time to catch up on some of last week's Nextlander shows! Eh? See what I did there? Always bringing it back to the content.
Nextlander Stares into Scrap Mechanic and it Stares Back
No one said these late game Scrap Mechanic challenges were gonna be easy, but Challenge 36 seems to be the first one that's got them Nextlander boys scratchin' their heads. Some combination of the extend-o-arm and the catapult feeeeeeeels like the right solution, but it just doesn't seem like we've quite got the application down yet.
Very Vinny Mornings: Timberborn - 01/25/2022
There are two things Vinny Caravella loves in this world: building things, and beavers. So join our intrepid builder as he creates the ideal Beaver society, and definitely doesn't let anyone die of starvation.
Weekly Ramblecast 033: Shatter That Platter
On this week's cast-o'-ramblin', we go deep into e-waste disposal methods, ancient cellular telephones, the current need (or lack thereof) for Windows 11, and the current state of both my physical media storage facilities and my Plex server.
The Nextlander Podcast 034: I Love it Because I Hate It
On this week's main show, Vinny and Brad finish up Resident Evil: Village and express their feelings on what a wild and woolly ride that one was, and we also dig into the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves collection, Windjammers 2 and Rainbow Six Extraction, and tackle the most pressing news of our time: the possibility of more Hexen.
Nextlander's Grab Bag Stream for 01/27/2022
It's time for a trio of new releases! First up, Vinny turns Chloe into a horrifying demon in Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves, then I mess around with monsters in Hidden Deep, and finally Brad closes things out by surviving the onslaught of Vampire Survivors!
For this month's Q&A we tackle an array of subjects, including embarrassing former online usernames, our memories of our very first game of the year discussions, and what the precise definition of "retro" in gaming is.
Patron's Choice for January 2022: Crusader Kings III!
Our Mission Control and Mysterious Benefactor patrons voted, and this month they wanted to see me try to wrap my feeble mind around Crusader Kings III! And folks, do we ever have a time with this one. Our one-eyed queen Patty the Put-Upon manages to squeeze a lifetime's worth of war, child-bearing, and murder plotting into just a couple of short hours. Will she survive all this skullduggery? Tune in to find out!

And that was the week! As always, thank you for your continued support of the Nextlander project. We wouldn't be able to do this without y'all. Stay toasty, and have yourselves a great rest of your weekend. We'll see you on Monday!
