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.
