Nicky’s back on webcam filming himself ranting at people. This particular one, ranting at Mike, is absolutely hilarious when you turn on the closed captioning.
Our favorite munchkin is NOT INCOHERENT! He wants you to know that he just has an accent from the Midwest, and is Italian. It’s really a pure Chicagoland accent, but he still sounds like he downed a few too many Jaegerbombs.

You’re a pighead came out “Europe KK.” Also, “Elaine tyson’s have fuckin sex okay me year” had me giggling.
*EDIT*
Bonus funsies:
His goatee is a bit more even. He sounds like the dwarf from Twin Peaks who talked backwards.
ZOMG that is hysterically incoherent. The captions only add to the hilarity. He’s definitely getting worse. I can only imagine what his writing is like now, if his speech is so affected by whatever he’s doing to himself.
Makes me wonder if even he realizes how bad he’s become, that he’s pushing even harder to do anthologies just to get his name out there again. When was the last time he published something that wasn’t a rant?
I looked at one of his videos from 2011 for comparison, and he is WAY worse. He went downhill quickly.
eg13 I think
I think it was the sequel to Library of Unknown Horrors or possibly Emanations? I know that was the last time someone else published him.
In addition to his receding hairline his hair has really thinned. That’s some bad ptosis or eyebrow droop for being under 40. He looks like hell.
Looks like micro-strokes. Better get to a doctor, Nicky. Untreated brain tumors can also cause facial tics, loss of motor function, and slurred speech.
I lost it in the first video at 1:21 – “my my breakout bob woodruff”
I’m laughing so hard.
His hairline isn’t just receding, it’s in full retreat. His slurred speech is way more than just Bell’s palsy, although that can recur after some years. TIAs (Transient Ischemic Attacks), AKA mini-strokes does sound like a reasonable assumption, but I wouldn’t rule out a brain tumor. Hypergraphia, which he’s had for years, is a symptom of certain brain tumors. Regardless of the etiology, he’s spiraling downward at a pretty good clip. Somebody in his misbegotten family needs to step up and do something drastic before it’s too late.
I suppose it’s possible they may not be doing anything, just so he does get worse-then he’ll be out of the way. A cynical thought I know, but it somehow seems plausible to me.
K has tried to get him to go back on his meds, but true to form, he won’t listen. Truth be told, he’s not even her responsibility. Either Nicky can’t see for himself what bad shape he’s in, or he doesn’t care.
“Either Nicky can’t see for himself what bad shape he’s in… ”
From what I have learned, Pacione is incapable of seeing himself as others see him.
“… or he doesn’t care.”
What’s odd is this is the guy who, when his infected fingernail fell off on his trip to the Poe Museum in Baltimore, called the ambulance for a trip to the ER when he got back to Joliet Union IL.
Never thought I would feel sorry for Pacione, or even care.
He calls an ambulance when a fingernail falls off but claims he refused to go to the hospital (or any doctor) when a Lexus supposedly hit him at 25mph.
The more he embellishes that story I’m convinced he just saw a Lexus ad in a magazine and his diseased mind created the rest.
He talks just like he writes. My brain hurts D:
Pretty much yeah he does. But hard as it is to believe, he’s actually worse now.
Regardless, Nick needs to see a doctor, and not just chat with a therapist on Skype.
If you wade through some of his stuff based on his stays in the mental ward, like “Damnation Observes”, he may have decided the medication does him no good.
(I am just a lay person, but I did play doctor once.) If his goatee in the previous video was not badly trimmed but distorted by asymmetric swelling of his neck under the left jaw, and his right eye in this video is bulgy, looks like he needs bloodwork. Something (physical) is out of balance.
I still think he’s mixing Pabst Blue Ribbon and Seroquel.
On one of his WP blogs, while ranting about hair metal bands, he writes,
“So those of you who abuse the moose and have the spandex as your idea of heavy metal…”
Abuse.The.Moose.
Maybe that’s what he’s been doing.
Abuse the moose. Wally World? Bullwinkle Moose? Moose Tracks ice cream (I confess to that!)? Chocolate Mousse? Oh, hair bands. Hair Mousse. (Horrible thought: does solving the Pacione Conumdrum have the same result as solving the Lament Configuration?)
I thought he was maybe referring to something kinky that I was better off not knowing about. Considering it’s a Nicky remark, I can be forgiven for wondering. Oh well, you deciphered it.
I’m with you on abusing the Moose Tracks ice cream. Mmm. Time to start next weekend’s grocery list, I think.
Maybe thats part of his problem. He hasnt been able to abuse the moose since no underage models will perform in a sleepsack for him.
The more I see it, the more he looks like some of the guys in group therapy who insist on drinking while on Seroquel.
Mark my words, he’ll get a yellowish tinge to his eyeballs soon.
