  1. Spoiler

    We interrupt this episode of Book of Boba Fett to bring you The Mandalorian: Season 3 Prologue

     

    That first 5 minutes alone was enough to make the episode killer for me. I totally forgot he had the Darksaber so that was a pleasant surprise, not for the guy who got sliced in half I'm sure.

     

    Seemed silly for the other 2 mandos to kick him out without any chance of redemption, seems detrimental to rebuilding their people but I guess that's how dedicated they are! And Vizlas gonna Vizla, making a power grab for the Darksaber like in The Clone Wars, although this Vizla fared better than the last time we saw one get into a duel over the Darksaber (context:

    )

     

    A bit disappointing however that this took place in a series with only 7 episodes, although I'm hopeful now that we'll get into the real action as Boba/Fennec/Mando square off against the Pykes.

     

    Also, unlikely that anyone else here caught onto the significance of the BD droid (dragged away by the romp rat), but it's pretty cool to see concepts taken from the video games and put into live action, in this case BD-1 from the 2019 game Jedi Fallen Order

    Its always been my opinion that a decent human being would tell their close contacts anyway.  I know there is stigma still around it and some still don't want to tell anyone but if you don't, then your an asshole.

    And there’s the reason we have this many cases in this county

    As usual, social media comments are comedy gold.

    My favorite is (paraphrase) “I will not shop at stores that require masks and judging by the likes on my comment I’m part of the majority”

    Masks? Use reusable masks meant for few uses before disposal, and wash your reusable ones to prevent bacterial buildup

    It’s be nice if they found a way to prevent cheat codes. There’s nothing worse than someone who thinks that’s the way to play the game.

    Most likely what they’ll do is block cheats from online multiplayer as a whole while keeping them in for single player only, but I’m not sure what they’ve done for past games


  6. So today they released the open beta for the game to test their multiplayer servers, but I've never been good at these kind of games, so I wanted to see if there was single player options. Once I fired up the tutorial, I figured I'd grab some screenshots of the game.

     

    I played the older games when I was younger, I think mostly AoE2, so they've nailed the feel from those games in this from what I've played so far, while upgrading the interface to look more modern, which I like. Some people say the graphics are locked at lowest settings so the final one will most likely look better than these screenshots but even as they are now I like it. I'm looking forward to when the final game releases, have it wishlisted.

     

    (Another part of it being a beta means that there's floating disclaimer text always, nothing you can do about it)
