Episode 11 of Camping the Extract drops on Valentine's Day and immediately descends into chaos. Embark released Patch 1.15.0 with their new Shared Watch event, and it is exactly what we feared: a soft PVE mode disguised as a holiday. Merits for killing ARC, nothing for killing other players. It is socialism in the apocalypse and we are not having it.

Nicky A.I. Dente kicks things off with a Valentine's Day rant about his ex Big Martha, a disastrous road trip to Valentine Nebraska, and some deeply concerning stories about Cherry County. The Toxic Teacher reveals he broke his finger playing pickleball with 70-year-olds and 10-year-olds, and Nicky responds with a tale about destroying a Guitar Hero fretboard in an underground killer league on Arthur Avenue.

Part 2 of the ARC Raiders Lore Deep Dive covers the class-based Exodus, the Jangsu Romania corporation, and Nicky's ancestor "Nicky the Rivet" selling fake spaceship tickets to desperate civilians. Nicky also claims the ARC are based on Italian-American aggression phenotypes, which tracks.

Where the Fuck Are the Viewers From shouts out Columbia, Missouri and listeners Pops Hagan and Mikey (do NOT call him Mikey). Nicky tells a never-ending story about an unauthorized server farm in a Missouri diner, heavy-set Brenda, and a tire iron incident that may or may not have involved the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

Also featured: new ARC Raiders News theme songs, a Bohemian Rhapsody cover made from a Spotify comment by a guy named Ben who called the show trash, and an outro genre called Midwestern Slinger Trash Industrial Polka.

NEED MORE TOXIC?

Episode 10 of Camping the Extract officially puts us in double digits, and we celebrate by immediately losing control of reality.

Toxic breaks down Arc Raiders anti-cheat drama, Steam account sharing bans, and whether innocent players should get nuked because their cousin is a cheating goblin. Then things spiral into a fake “lore deep dive” that never quite happens, a live-action rat survival thriller, and a full-on digital betrayal by a machine turret that apparently has loyalty issues.

Nicky “Noodle Arms” Dente faces his greatest enemy yet: friendly squads, rotating robot eyes, and his own bloodline turning on him. Meanwhile, Toxic begs him to flee to romantic Italian music, promises lore that may never arrive, and admits this episode might be structurally cursed.

We close with the official outro genre reveal: Italian Disco Doom Metal, because nothing else could possibly fit this disaster.

Topics include:
Arc Raiders cheating bans
Steam Family Sharing punishment
Rat gameplay tactics
Machine AI betrayal
Failed lore deep dives
Digital paranoia
Italian panic music
Outro genre insanity

If you like extraction shooters, chaotic commentary, and podcasts that derail at high speed, this one’s for you.

Nicky Says:
Check it out. Three and a half stars. Lost the half star because the lore never showed up, gained it back because the machine turned rat, then lost it again because somebody tried to be friendly in an extraction shooter. Final answer. Fuggedaboutit.

The ARC RaidersHeadwinds update is here, and it’s a total circus. Toxic breaks down why the Level 40 "Solo vs. Squads" matchmaking is just streamer-bait garbage for a measly 20% XP bonus.

Nicky A.I. Dente is on the verge of a digital aneurysm over the new atmospheric audio cues that mask the sound of approaching boots. We’re also diving into "Bird City"—the new vertical chaos on Buried City where every chimney is a slot machine and every pigeon is a snitch.

Plus, we address a "civilized" Spotify comment about the "choice" to be a rat, a nostalgia trip back to the Division 1 Dark Zone, and a harrowing tale of a feral hog in a Conroe, Texas crawl space.NICKY’S BODY COUNT (EPISODE 9)

• 1 full-scale Conroe, Texas psychological breakdown
• 4 separate ARC Raiders mechanics questioned aggressively
• 2 Dark Zone nostalgia spirals
• 1 ghillie suit constructed from garbage and spite
• 3 audio glitches blamed on anti-Italian technology
• 1 city officially added to Nicky’s enemies list
• Countless extraction dreams crushed in real time

Total casualties: Everyone listening, emotionally
