Why do I suddenly have a Dr. Pepper jingle stuck in my head?

Or the ice cream song. 😂

I know I'm 8 days late on this... but this is a Good Burger reference.

You got to play as a dude in Fallen Order and Survivor.

Calling Cal "Pussyface" Kestis a "dude" is a bit of a stretch.

"Dude" is defined as "a man; a guy." You got to play "a man; a guy." You're using another definition of "dude" that I don't know.

My daughter and her girlfriends call each other dude all the time. For them the term is genderless.

Exactly! The girlies also say "bro" and "bruh" a lot, even if they have no biological brother. It's universal!

Or it could be the entire conversation

I'm not going to be watching "Andor" anytime soon.

Your loss.

Yeah, I am not sure why one would want to skip Andor. It was actually pretty good.

So, does Andor have Ewoks like Endor or does it have Awoks?

Andor does not have aWokes.

It also greatly expands on the Rogue One film, but it does so in a respectful way for the fans and audience. I don't recall any pandering in the series. It's a mature Star Wars without the R-rating.

LOL I am in a holding pattern until my son remembers to text me his Disney+ password. I wouldn't be me if I didn't forget a password about 10 times. 🙂

I found Skarsgard distracting in Dune

Huh
He has nothing on the miscasting of Christopher Walken in D2.
Talk about having your underwear forcibly ripped off while wearing tight fitting jeans. My cowbells still hurt.

I'm actually looking forward to rewatching later this year. There's a lot of nuance and detail I think I missed the first time around. Great cast too, I found Skarsgard distracting in Dune (the only casting choice I didn't like), but he's sublime in Andor. And then there are all the great character actors, and all the new actors who are perfect for their parts, and the great locations which are both visually and functionally distinct. They really did a great job.

I'm only here to tell Prez to watch Andor.

I can't speak for outrside California...but in California....Dude is everything. A guy is a dude. A girl is a dude. Your friend is a dude. Your mom is a dude. The sink is a dude. Instead of yelling "FUCK", we grumble "dude...". There is nothing gender specific about dude.

Cool, looking forward to some reviews of the finished game, although I will probably wait for a decent sale before I pick it up.

Division 2 gameplay + Star Wars flavor could easily burn a few hundred hours for me. Yes, of course there will be some Ubisoft towers to climb or whatever.

As far as Acolyte, it has the best lightsaber fights so far in all of live action Star Wars, but you have to suffer through 4-5 episodes of sub par writing to get to it.

Andor is easily the best thing that's ever been done in the Star Wars universe, and an extremely strong show even outside the realm of Star Wars... it has almost no mention of the Jedi or Sith at all. Stellan Skarsgard has an absolutely killer speech in Andor that makes the show watching for it alone, and (almost) every character is extremely well written and acted. Top notch job all around, which makes the other Star Wars movies and shows look that much worse, unfortunately.

How about neither.

You misspelled, "Fuck off"

I think I will like this game but it's hard to even think about paying full AAA price for a game these days. Unfortunately it'll be a while until this gets a decent enough discount.

Thanks, it's a pic I found while searching for lightning which is my favorite force of nature.

You better start watching Acolyte again. “All these plot issues”. There are 5 more episodes to explain plot issues. The show is a Mystery. It will be explained. The show has become awesome with some of the best light saber combat we have seen.

I'll watch Andor because so many people recommend it. But understand that if I hate it (I don't go into watching a show with any preconceived notions, but it is possible) you're not allowed to hate me. 😁

I am not a contrarian, but I'm known for having a dissenting opinion - I am the guy who said that "Redfall" was good, "Gollum" was nowhere near as bad as it was made out to be, and I HATED "The Last of Us 2" after all. 🤪

Andor is not bad at all. Better than Mandalorian (at least, after Mando's season 1).

I don't have any issues with Eldaron's comments - but then again, in terms of Big Five personality traits, I'm more open/agreeable than most people.

Yeah, yeah, dude looks like a lady...though. Why have they never made an Empire game where you actually get to go around getting rid of rebel scum? That would be way more entertaining. Maybe start off as a standard stormtrooper grunt and work your way up to the dude that gets to fire the big laser on the Death Star, 'So long, Alderaan!'.

Aren't there two Forced Unleashed games where you play as Sith?

Yeah, but they aren't Empire anymore than the Jedi are Rebels. And I'm not talking about mystical magic warriors, just rank and file humans working their way up from grunt to uber-grunt.

And yes, Prez, watch Andor. It's the only Star Wars they've made outside of ESB that is targeted at an adult market. It's actually really good.

Eldaron I was going on memory that what you quoted was what Redeye had as his signature. Hence my comment. Going on memory is a dicey proposition for me however, so I might have gotten that wrong and if so I am sorry.

Do I find all the political bickering annoying? Yes. It has less to do with that it happens and more to do with how often it happens. More to the point is that you shouldn't have to worry about what does or doesn't annoy me. This isn't my board anymore than it is anyone else's not named Blue; I can't tell you what to do. I am of the opinion that if all of your posts are reactionary and politically-motivated you might want to find a website that caters specifically to that brand of discussion, but I keep getting ridiculed for saying that so feel free to ignore me. I probably shouldn't have said anything, but I was trying to be helpful. Honestly that was my intention. I will throw in a small suggestion though: rightly or wrongly you have clearly been labeled as someone who doesn't need to be debated respectfully by certain members. I have a number of those kinds of 'fans' too. My ignore list is full of them if you take my meaning. Anyway sorry for butting in.

Thanks for the advice, Prez. I'm not sure why, but I never block people. If I would, it would certainly save me a hell of a lot of frustration. Not frustration due to personal attacks, but the frustration of the inability of some people to look past their ideologies and just engage with others as human beings.

Trust me when I say I truly come here to read and talk about games. But fuck me, it doesn't take a bloodbound to sniff out all the political comments everywhere. My claim that most of my comments are reactionary is the truth, and that should matter.

Back on game topic: I'm OK with this non-sexy protagonist. It doesn't distract me. I think the new Fable is more of a problem for me. That's gonna be an RPG in which I'd really like to just build my own character and immerse myself fully. That only works best with a male character for me. Lack of imagination, I guess.

No. That's why I say "most" instead of "all".
