Teasing The Rise Of Hamill

In case anyone remotely cares… it’s the teaser trailer for the next and final chapter in the much-maligned sequel trilogy of thrown-together feature films with no cohesive thought behind it whatsoever.

I won’t say much here – I’ll save my thoughts for tomorrow’s DTM-Cast episode. The only thing I will say that after the time wasted on The Last Jedi and the less than enthusiastic impressions of Solo, my reaction is simply… meh. For what it’s worth, there’s a good chance I’ll probably watch it with my older bro, but in terms of excitement, optimism, or anything resembling an emotional response or the slightest hint of interest… meh.

Oh well… let it play out and see where it goes, I suppose.

Fun With X-Wing (Collector’s CD-ROM ’95) – Pilot Proving Fail

Something a little bit different; a late-night excursion in my X-Wing on the Rebel’s secret Pilot Proving Ground. Do I succeed? Well, no, but I did get a promotion. That counts for something, right?

I’m trying to experiment with different formats to see what works best for me as well as anyone else concerned.

This Paints A Grim Picture

I don’t remember where I found this image; probably a message board somewhere, but when you look at that image and the information it reveals… it paints a pretty grim picture in regards to the current state of Star Wars gaming.

The truly sad thing? For all the arguments made regarding “quantity over quality”, a good chunk of the quantity above actually ended up being quality products while the two games below… well, neither quality or quantity qualify in any regard.

I guess I found something to ramble about.

If there was a Darth Vader facepalm, I would use it.

I mean, come on. They’re not even using actual lightsabers; they’re just props that glow in the dark. Where’s the limb cutting and decapitation?

Star Wars Battlefront II To Get Geonosis Map… Wait, What?

But I thought you already had Geonosis in Battlefront II… and you played as Mace Windu, not Obi-Wan… what the hell, Lucasarts?

Oh wait… right… not Battlefront II, but the gambling-encouraging money pit that is using the name of a genuinely good game to get people going.

Meh… you know what? I’m up for some Battlefront, actually.
