Zeta tonight started with a literal bang, and the energy carried us through to not only add our 143rd hour to the total drive time, but hit…

TEN DESERT BUCKS FOR OUR RUN TOTAL!!

And now, everything else you missed in Zeta!

Beej explained to the room why Ratatouille is the best mecha anime around. It was… Surprisingly plausible.

Zeta shared some recipes with the chat. Okay, so it was best grilled cheese recipes, but some of these were real bangers.

Keep Talking and Nobody Legos got a sequel in the form of Keep Crimping and Nobody Explodes:

The room shares media that they wish everyone would have a chance to experience:

Beej treated the room to quite a few wonderful songs tonight, but on Brian Wilson, the whole room joined in:

And those were just some of the highlights from tonight’s Zeta Shift! Keep watching to see what other shenanigans the crew get up to!

We kick off day two Zeta donation drives with a beautiful Dark Souls Crest Shield Pendant!

This one-of-a-kind, solid brass pendant is a miniature model of Dark Souls’ iconic Crest Shield – borne by the noble Knights of Astora. It was digitally modeled after the in-game item, including the handle and strap on the back side, and was 3D printed. The shield can be worn around the neck on a chain, or as a brooch with the aid of a pin. The brass will naturally darken over time, but can be gently polished back to its original brilliance. Unlike the original shield, this version will not protect you from hostile undead, and its magic resistance is sadly negligible. It will, however, be the envy of your friends, who will all know that your fashion sense has no need to “git gud”.

Donations of $8.80 (or multiples thereof) will enter you to win this amazing piece. This donation drive runs until 1:30am PST.

Welcome, Passengers of the Bus. Come, join us, and see what you missed on this evening’s Night Watch.
