Halloween is done but the scary season continues with elections in the States this week! Luckily, we’ve got plenty to distract you while you wait in line to vote, while you try to avoid engaging with any coverage, or if you finally just need a break from it all.

We’re still toiling away in the swamps in Valheim and I bet today we will try and encounter its boss. I suspect we will get crushed by it, but we may at least see what it is! On Tuesday, Abby joins us as we check out that ridiculous FMV game, Love: Fall in Death, that we booted up during the Steam Next Fest. On Friday, Brad wants to crack a giant egg, so we were looking at jumping into the new multiplayer ‘experience’ Crack!

Over on the Podcast end of things we’ve got our first silly movie of November with Freaked! It’s definitely WAY out there, but how will it get measured by our high Watchcast standards? We’ve also got a new Ramblecast, The Podcast, and even a Planorama for this week to cover all the moments you may need to stick something in your ears.

The Nextlander Watchcast
A new month for the Watchcast, but we’re not done with the creature features just yet! To kick off a very silly November movie slate, we’ve decided on an Alex Winter double-dip in the form of the 1993 horror comedy Freaked! Join us as Alex and Vinny reminisce fondly on discovering this bizarre artifact of the MTV-addled early-'90s back and the day, and enjoy Brad’s reactions as he processes having experienced this mess for the very first time!

Sure there’s Zelda and GTA this month but there are other things going on as well, you know? Plenty of games and news that aren’t Zelda and GTA… we assume.
