Just want to be able to put my order in.

I'm enjoying this - good telly.

Shitty company buys smaller shitty company whose shitty games I don't buy. What's for lunch, then?

What great times. RIP - thanks for the memories.

Don't suppose any of them fancy running the country for a year or so? I'd feel safer.

Fisherman's Tale Red Matter RE4

Watched the whole thing over the week and, for me, It's easily the best thing to come out of Lucasfilm since the Disney takeover. Every episode was a delight as I remembered what I was doing at those points in my life with the films they featured.

That was the mission where near the end I thought I was done for. Decided to take a punt on something I thought would in no way work and it made me grin like an idiot when it did. It wanted me to do it my way and it let me.

Once again, this guy nails everything I felt about it, including the good bit.

Don't worry, he won't be able to get a blast door open by Episode IV or simply pull back/knacker the blockade runner at the end of Rogue One. Probably mid-life force droop or something.

Because it now feels lazy, rushed and (relatively) cheap. They've done great Star Wars on TV with Mandalorian. Perhaps they just need to tell new stories with new characters as the focus and leave the other stuff in the background or on the periphery.

Pretty much my feelings on the show itself, especially the Mandalorian comparisons.

Yep, detective stuff aside, it's the brilliant Fusion done right in third person. If they announced another one of these instead of MP4, I'd be more than happy. Hell, they could keep the Japanese daytime melodrama stuff in as well if they wanted - didn't stop me finishing it four times.

Got to the blizzardy region in ER and had to put it down three weeks back. Have to get back and finish the damn thing (got to a little past the final VM quest) No way I won't finish it but I'm finding a lot of other things to do in the nicer weather now.

Yeah, Fallout 4 was a big let down for me and watching that hasn't got me convinced I need to lay out for Series X to play it. They really should be moving on to a new engine as well.

Aren't the remains of Starbreeze owned by Bethesda now? Those are the folk you'd have leading an Indiana Jones game if you had any sense.

or your son.

Agree with all of that - the more I watch of it ( the latest being probably the best so far), the more I think this is the one that should have remained as a film project with a film-sized budget, with Vader hunting down Kenobi over a couple of hours or so and them having a showdown. Ewan McGregor has been really good in this and there were some decent scenes in the latest episode. I think if they needed to go back though, a movie's time restraints may have resulted in a tighter, more focused story.

And saying seconds before that "bring him to me" to his troops.

It's baffling - the resources and talent they have access to and this is the best they can do. I really thought Chow's stuff on Mandalorian was some of the strongest of the different directors, so I'm surprised at how generally weak and uneven this has been. Feels like a show in search of a reason to exist.

Cool - glad you like it.

It would have been better if he couldn't follow Obi Wan into the quarry and he ended up stamping his feet as Ben flipped him off.

Haven't played this yet, so the VR announcement is very welcome. Now they just need to make and release the headsets.

Just what I was thinking last night. It's one of those rare cases where the balance is struck perfectly, by design or chance. That said, let's see what they do as the other stuff they've done has been pretty decent.

I just want to know when I can pre-order one.
