Beej has returned to us, with quite the entrance! If you were asleep, at work, or otherwise occupied, here's what you missed on the second Zeta of the run!
Karaoke returns! And we really made it our own. For better or for worse.
One big benefit of Beej being back is that we get song time! Tonight, we were treated to Bank Job by the Barenaked Ladies!
Have you ever wanted to learn how to re-string a guitar? Here's mostly how with Beej!
Zeta was tasked with naming a vampire clown... We have opinions.
Zeta shift has "fun" vision. We had a bit of chat about how we work around it.
We continue to attempt not to brick-splode. Hopefully we're doing okay?
And we wrapped with a small Dawn Guard invasion, and somehow ended up singing that old jazz standard, The Wheels On The Bus.
And that was Zeta! We're all heading to bed, but keep watching, donating, and sharing the stream! See you all tomorrow!

Take a break from brewing with cardboard rectangles to brew some tasty treats on this MtG themed end-grain cutting board! Made in the end-grain style, this double sided board will resist damage from use and be less dulling on your knives, so you can use it for years to come. It has a cherry wood base with CNC carved walnut inlays of the mana symbols and logo from Magic: The Gathering. The logo side of the board includes a juice groove to contain any mess from carving meats or other dripping ingredients. The mana side is kept flat to provide increased working area and makes for an excellent serving platter as well as a cutting surface. The board measures 16" by 12" by 1.25".

From our wonderful friends at Wizards of the Coast, we have an uncut sheet of Innistrad intro decks!
Zombies, Werewolves, and Vampires, oh my. Journey to Innistrad for our first visit to this plane. Garruk Wildspeaker is on the hunt for Lilliana Vess to break the chain veil curse. While the denizens of this plane struggle to survive the increasing horrors that dwell in the shadows. From restless sprits, to nightmarish experiments, to crafty demons, horrors lurk within.

This giveaway is live from now until 1:59am. Donate $10.01 or positives multiple integers thereof for a chance to win!!
'Twas quite a night, even for seasoned members of the watch. Our impassioned pleas did not fall on deaf ears, for the friends of the bus rallied to meet a total of $200,000 raised during the run thus far. And just to match it, this was also the shift where we got 200 lifetime points in Desert Bus! But how we got there... well, it was a winding path. One that started, of course, with the news.
We also celebrated a welcome but belated Beer Fest with Ian. Seems only right to do something nice with/for him, considering we spent the entire evening listening to random punctuations of him crying out in pain from that time last year when he sat on himself.
Our faith in Ian was rewarded, too, when he guided us to a rare night time bus stop. 17 years we've been playing this game and it still manages to surprise us. Are we sure it's not actually the best game ever made?
Speaking of the best things ever made: Boomer made us beards so that everyone on Nightwatch could be equally hirsute. We liked them so much, we did a little fashion show.
It's our second-to-last night with the wonderful Rachel. She's already fitting in great: for example, she can 360noscope the plot to every Gundam. And she's now thoroughly steeped in the rich cultural heritage of Canadian PSAs.
Meanwhile, Graham may have outdone himself (and that is NOT a compliment) on this Dump Truck featuring a giant gummy turkey leg. The texture alone is cause for concern.
As the night wore to a close, it was time. Time to DO IT.
We danced, we yelled, and we shamelessly begged for donations because we were just so close to hitting that $200,000 mark for the year. And by goodness, we got there! 10/10 would debase ourselves again. And will, tomorrow and the next day and the next day and the next...

Over to you, Zeta! Nightwatch out.
