I have grown increasingly frustrated with Star Wars fans recently. I can't believe how many people actually dislike Ahsoka. Disliking the show is one thing, but some fans are just being flat out haters. It has also been difficult to have conversations with some of them. Some fans have the highest expectations I have ever seen. The fandom needs to get back to having fun again because there is a...

There’s two topics I want to discuss on this September news roundup. The first will be discussing the drama with Unity as corporate greed yet again puts a stain on the gaming industry. I also want to talk about the Lando Calrissian show being turned into a movie. Not many people are happy about that, but I am honestly okay with it.

I am really enjoying the Ahsoka show. Dave Filoni has done a great job with this story. I really want future Star Wars content to be just like this show. But I got to thinking...How could this happen? Especially since content has been hit or miss lately. I think Dave Filoni needs to be in charge of everything when it comes to content in the franchise. I want him to be the Kevin Fiege of Star Wars....

Growing up, the Star Wars Battlefront franchise quickly became one of my favorites. It was so much fun to play through all the major battles in Star Wars. The original games were the best because they just focused on fun gameplay set in the Star Wars Universe. The newer games had great visuals and it was fun to play with other people online. However, the corporate greed found in modern day gaming...

We are halfway through Ahsoka and I have been enjoying it. I am also annoyed by the fanbase and those who specifically criticize everything about the show. I can respect differing opinions, but I can clearly tell some people are getting their opinions through YouTube videos and TikToks rather than watching the show. The show has a lot of cool things going on and the plot is about to take off as we...

Starfield is a fun game. It is literally Skyrim/Fallout in space. It has all the elements of what makes Bethesda games really fun. However, this is not the game of the generation or even the game of the year. The new features promised are lackluster. The game can also use some improvements regarding menus, inventory systems, and they really need to put some maps in the game. Despite some frustrati...

I can't believe game developers got upset over the excitement gamers felt about Baldur's Gate 3. I laughed when I saw the drama that took place on Twitter awhile back due to the reception this game received from gamers. Expectations for AAA games are high and rightfully so. Games are very expensive today. So, we should expect high quality when it comes to a high price. Gamers also have the...

I am not impressed with my first "next-gen" experience with Madden. There's many issues with animations and player intelligence. The developers don't even now the rules of the sport like when the clock is supposed to stop. Most of the improvements to franchise mode are just "fluff". Some of the stuff is helpful, but ultimately all the elements of the mode feel the same....

Disney has been losing subscribers as people are losing patience with their content. The company will need to change some things in order to make the steaming platform viable. In the few years of it's existence, we have seen a ton of content on Disney+. Most of the content comes from Marvel and Star Wars. Sadly, a lot of the content has been underwhelming from the two cash cow franchises. I wi...

The Ahsoka show is off to a good start thanks to an impressive 2 episode premiere. It's great to watch a show that truly feels like Star Wars. It looks like the show's plot is going to be very interesting. It's great to see Ahsoka and her rebel friends in live action form. I am also impressed with the new characters. The premiere was very entertaining thanks to a lot of fighting and ac...

Modern Warfare 3 was just revealed and I don't know how to feel about it. Activision went back on their word about stopping the annual release cycle. They trying some new things and they are basically combining all of their content into one big ecosystem. They are basically merging MW2 and MW3 content into one game. Part of this sounds cool, but I also wonder if they should just make this a ma...

EA has confirmed that they are working on the next Battlefield game. There are not many details out there yet, but they claim the next game will "reimagine" the franchise. The next game in the franchise needs to be good. The franchise has been going downhill for awhile now and it is time to change that. EA and DICE have learned plenty from all their missteps in 2042. It's time for th...

It's tough to find a multiplayer shooter that is realistic and focuses on the gameplay over annoying battle passes and cosmetics. Hell Let Loose is one of those games. It's a WW2 shooter that acknowledges and respects historical accuracy. The game is intense and difficult. However, the game offers a lot of content and great movements on the battlefield. It's a fantastic game for the WW...

I wanted to look back at The Force Awakens. The sequel trilogy is a touchy subject for many Star Wars fans. I am one of the fans that takes issue with how that trilogy panned out. However, I am more forgiving when it comes to episode 7. We should not blame this movie for the failures of the trilogy. Yes, the movie was not as creative as it could have been, but it was a fun movie that set up the tr...

I went to see Oppenheimer in theaters and let me tell you....the movie did not disappoint. Christopher Nolan worked his magic yet again with casting, dialogue, pacing, and the use of practical effects was great to see as well. Cillian Murphy's performance was stellar in this psychological thriller. You need to go watch this movie. It is easily one of the best movies of 2023.

It was very interesting to hear about all that was discussed during the trial. We learned a lot about Microsoft, Sony, and the future of the industry. In this video I will go over Microsoft's aggressive planning, Sony's petty counter attacks, the money Sony spends on its games, when the next console generation will be, and much more.

Modern Warfare 2's most recent update brought super powers to the game. Lately, I have not been a fan of the vibe Call of Duty is going for. I thought this game was supposed to be a military simulation shooter not a hero shooter. The cosmetics in the game are over the top these days and it just turns me away from playing the game. So, let's take a look at how cosmetics have changed the vib...

The new Ahsoka trailer looks awesome! I am looking forward to watching the show. However, I am still skeptical of the show thanks to some of the shows we got last year and the controversy that surrounded them. It's going to be great to see the characters from Rebels come to live action. This show needs to be good. It needs to succeed not only for the sake of the franchise, but for the image of...

Today's video kicks off a new series for the channel. I want to do more of a news focused type of commentary on the channel where I make videos talking about a handful of relevant topics. In this video, I will be going over details for NBA 2K24, Microsoft's court battle with the FTC, and give some thoughts on Kathleen Kennedy and the performance of the new Indiana Jones movie.

There are a few games out there that do live service right. However, most game companies have altered the true definition of games as a service. I think it's possible to make live service better. We just need the AAA companies to be better. Bethesda's upcoming game Starfield is a good example of a game that can use the live service method in the proper way. I explain this and much more in...

Gaming is not as fun as it used to be. It has become more a grind or a chore. The industry has changed into a money hungry beast that just wants us to keep spending money on their battle passes and cosmetics. Even games that have a ton of effort put into them aren't as good as they could be. Huge open worlds and shiny graphics aren't what makes a game great. Sometimes great games just need...

World War 2 games from the late 90s to 2010 put a heavy focus on campaigns. They were historically accurate to a point, education, and most of all….depicted the seriousness of war. These weren’t fantasy war games. But the game that takes the cake for all of this is…Call of Duty: World at War. The developers went all in on making this game not only authentic in terms of WW2, they made sure they nai...

There’s one thing the Star Wars franchise has been consistently good at for years now is someone saying something or something happening that fires up the fan base and stirs up drama. That happened again recently when audio from an old podcast surfaced. Back in 2019, the director for the upcoming Star Wars show, The Acolyte, Leslye Headland, was interviewed on the Indie Wire podcast. She talked ab...

The Jedi Survivor sequel was good enough. The gameplay was fun and the story was solid. I don’t really agree with the plot twist near the end of the story and the performance issues really ticked me off at times. But the story was interesting and the game was fun. The developers truly built upon the foundation of the first game and that is what is needed for a successful sequel.

Ubisoft showed off two new games that I am extremely hyped for. Star Wars: Outlaws is Ubisoft's take on an open-world game in the Star Wars Universe. They also showed off gameplay for Assassin's Creed Mirage. This game also looks good. The developers are bringing the series back to it's roots, so it will feel like an old school AC game. I think it’s a good idea for Ubisoft to try their...
