Hey @illusorywall.bsky.social In Dark Souls 3, why does the Firekeeper trip every single time she stands up?!?! Was it a creative choice, if not... why was it left in? Here's a clip.

PEAK balloon animaling idk who needs video games when you can have this clown-to-clown communication

Predator Badlands is cute and really fun. BUT is that want I (we) want from a Predator movie? Yes. I WANT franchise to grow out of their original conceits. I WANT properties the grow their universes. and I WANT to have fun while watching movies.

I'm joining up with the Windbreakers crew today to talk about adapting TableTop Games to video games. Hint: it usually doesn't work great. Watch/Listen Here:

There are 4 types of Star Trek episodes: - someone from a crew member’s past comes back to cause trouble. - an impossible moral dilemma is solved… somehow - oops, I fucked a ghost - the holo-deck sure is crazy and dangerous

Maybe if we let tech companies think they invented it, we could get episodic television back. “It’s called… a micro-arc, an entire season’s plot-line distilled down into one episode.” “This will revolutionize how television gets made. Imagine the same characters but… in different situations!!!”

Be sure to check out the truly unhinged Balatro-themed one-shot that @jackpackard.bsky.social DM'd and @yahtzeecroshaw.bsky.social and I played in! It's full stand-alone, you don't need prior knowledge of Balatro OR Adventure is Night (OR the X-Files) to enjoy it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YAq...

And that’s a wrap on Adventure is Nigh! Season 5 filming. Y’all… This was a good one.

To fill in the time between full seasons of Adventure is Nigh! Here's a little one-shot adventure with @yahtzeecroshaw.bsky.social and @thejenna.bsky.social See if you can figure out the Balatro theming before the players!!! Bonus points if you can guess what the twig was for. Watch Here:

Oh! Sure!!! When I INSIST that you offer me a human, late at night… it’s creepy. BUT when ABBA says “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! a man after midnight”… it’s fine. Double standards much!?!?

In about an hour Marty, @darrenmooney.bsky.social, and I will be talking Spoopy Movies. Specifically, spoopy movies that we want at Spoopy Parties... which is VERY DIFFERENT than just plain old "Good Spoopy" Movies. Watch/Listen Here:

We're out in Wisconsin filming the fifth season of Adventure is Nigh this week! Stream and podcast schedule will be a bit wonky this week of course, but we've got some fun events planned for while we're all in-person together. Stay tuned for updates!

In about an hour, @janjozone.bsky.social is joining Marty and I on The ReWind. We'll be talking about Nintendo's very bizarre animated short and "One Battle After Another" which is very good... unsurprisingly very good... but like VERY GOOD. Watch/Listen Here:

I yearn for many things but right now, nothing is stronger than my yearning for comfortable pant weather. I long for layers. I plead for my plaids. I want for this unseasonable warmth... to waver.

In about an hour, @prettygrimgames.bsky.social and I will be Ghosting all over Yotei!!! Wacth Here:

In about an hour, I'm back streaming with @thejenna.bsky.social playing Vartio (and them maybe some more PEAK) The twist this time is that my glasses broke and will slowly make me look more and more disheveled while Jenna's dishes broke and the will slowly look more like glass... Watch Here:

Oh, I went long on "One Battle After Another" for @secondwindgroup.com. How Paul Thomas Anderson crafted a tale that understands the one key advantage revolution has over fascism. We are all in it together. READ: www.patreon.com/posts/column...

When I say that I love classic movies... this is what I mean.

In about 90 minutes, @thejenna.bsky.social and I will be playing some Nightreign with special guest/friend of the channel/man with excellent speaking voice @matthewkrol.nebula.tv! Can they carry me even though my pockets are full of Smithing Stones (2)? Find out here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-S_H...
