I play Dungeons & Dragons on Adventure is Nigh! I watch bad movies on Best of the Worst. I perform Improv Comedy at Comedy Sportz. And somehow, I still think I’m pretty cool.

Every month over at @secondwindgroup.com one of us gets to make whatever video we want… no questions asked. So I asked: How Many Buckets are in Dark Souls 2? And walked the whole game looking for buckets. It’s a Patreon Exclusive video and something I’m stupidly proud of.

If you are looking for other Award Nominated shows and TTRPG stuff.... check out this wonderful list of CRIT Award Nominees. So many quality creators!

In about an hour Marty, @darrenmooney.bsky.social, and I are back talking movies and crap! Mostly Predictors Killer of Killers But I will have a minor rant about how "Deep Cover"(2025) misses the mark about life lessons improv can teach and it's community... NO, IMPROV IS NOT A CULT!!! Watch Here:

So the series after Predators: Killer of Killers now needs to be the never seen nerd class of Predators. Who are all expert forensic scientists that can determine who keeps killing their jock predators counterparts.

It being Father's Day and me being a Father... I can (without guilt) self-promote and remind everyone to vote for a Villainous Father LaTavia Ticklepuss over at the CRIT Awards. Also, clearly I did not understand that I was supposed to submit a headshot. GO VOTE HERE: www.critawards.org

New Episode of Adventure is Nigh! is here!!! Our heroes chase some ooze right towards the front line. The Florafolk, the FaunaFolk, and some goop are going to fight it out! Watch Here:

In about an hour, I can't think of anything else to play to @prettygrimgames.bsky.social and I are picking up my current playthrough of Fallout New Vegas. I siding with the NCR... just for the drip! Watch Here:

Overheard tonight: Guy 1: "... but how hot was she? Like on a scale of "I'd pick up a new Hobby" to "I'd Change Religions" Guy 2: "Oh, dude. She could have my Sunday Mornings, I'd go kosher, whatever she needs." Y'all.... love is in the air.

A reminder that these dice are beautiful... and for sale!!! adventureisnigh.horse

Heads Up: "The Rewind" Enjoy-ers. We're swapping weeks to spread out our podcasts over at Second Wind and align closer with bigger movie releases. So no Rewind this week.... we'll see you all next week.

Mario Kart World has added the ONE element that every game should implement. Outfits! So!! Many!! Outfits!! I love it.

WE’VE GOT SKA

In about an hour I'm joining Marty and KC for some Switch 2 Mario Kart shenanigans!!! And, honestly, I've been spending so much time just driving around in the open world that I've forgotten to race... it's gorgeous. Watch Here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NH6J...

In about an hour, @prettygrimgames.bsky.social and I are playing my game-of-the-con pick from last year's PAX West MR. SLEEPY MAN!!!! It's early in production but I'm very excited to get my (decidedly grub-less) hands on it. Watch Here:

Latavia Ticklepuss has officially been nominated for "Best Villain" at the CRIT Awards. @critawards.bsky.social Yes, the guy who fondly remembers feeding coconuts to an Alligator-man named Peeknuckle... could be the best villain of 2024! Excited that AiN is among fine competition.

I know what you're thinking... "Man, I wish I could hear two people talk about 1987s Mannequin more." Well you can! @moviestruck.bsky.social had me on their podcast to do just that! Listen Here (or your podcast place of choice)

In about 15 minutes I'm playing Elden Ring Nightreign with @nickjcal.bsky.social and @thejenna.bsky.social Hopefully this will fix my major issue with the game so far, not being able properly communicate with my teammates... but it is Nick and Jenna so... Watch Here:

Shockingly, this won't be the only time you hear me talk about Mannequin (1987) soon. But for now, a reminder to a Game Masters out there... steal more interesting plot hooks for your adventure.

Episode 8 of Adventure is Nigh! is here!!! 10 points if you can spot all the Dark Souls 2 references. Watch Here:

Tomorrow is new Adventure is Nigh! day!!! This might have been the most difficult episode to edit as it has the toughest balance of tension, drama, and dick jokes. Also it's later in the shoot, so while recording we were both excited and exhausted. 2 hours: 41 minutes of footage down to just 1:04.

In about an hour, I'm joining @yahtzeecroshaw.bsky.social for the Wednesday Yahtzee Tries. One of the games he's playing is a word game... so I'm going to have to try extra hard! Watch Here:

Just @illusorywall.bsky.social putting in THE WORK to spread some news on how to keep us all playing a game we love. If you're playing Dark Souls Remastered on PC, watch this video.

To add to the Dark Souls 2 Caked Up Index. Did you know that the pillars near Grandahl, that lead to the the Dark Chasm, are covered with nude bodies... boobies, butts, and all. Neat!

In about 45 minutes @nickjcal.bsky.social and I are streaming Guards 2: Chaos in Hell. I'm not on The Rewind this week because they're talking Star Wars. Marty and Darren are also taking my Thursday stream to Talk/Play The Last of Us. So this might be my only stream this week.

Reminder that there's no new AiN this week... it's next week. But here's a sneak peak at the upcoming OneShot, a picture of 3 gorgeous people playing D&D and miming... something.

In about an hour, @prettygrimgames.bsky.social and I will be sneaking through a stealth Metroidvania The Siege and the Sandfox. Catch us... IF YOU CAN!!!! Watch Here:

Hey girl... are you the Oblivion Remaster? Because I can tell you've got issues but damn you look good.

Yes, it is true that @darrenmooney.bsky.social is the best at what he does.

If you're having trouble figuring out how to play with your new Moped or Sigmar deck in The Red Dragon Inn, we've got you covered! (there's also Grinderbin, Dabarella, and Mortimer explainer videos)

I can not stress this enough... owning and using a shoehorn will change your life for the better.

It's time to see both ends of the last couple of cliffhangers! They'll have to figure out Reverse Centaurs and Sebastian Piss! Adventure is Nigh! is back this week. Watch Here:

Tim Higgins is not on BlueSky... so I stole his Instagram post to post here. BATHE IN HIS GLORY!

In about an hour, @prettygrimgames.bsky.social and I will be live and CLEANING UP!!! Playing Spilled, which has been on my wishlist for far too long. Watch Here:

This Saturday is the new Adventure is Nigh! This is a still from that episode after one player does something... unplanned for.
