Even though it's a Star Wars game, EA is footing the bill while Lucasfilm is licensing it to them. They have a lot more to lose if the game appeals to just Star Wars enthusiasts instead of a more mainstream audience.

I'm taking a break from video games to watch Sonic Underground. Sonic is about to charge into a horde of robots and lets out the quip "Let's tease 'em and squeeze em"



the only good episode of sonic underground is when sonic and his siblings find a sonic baby, and then the sonic baby falls off a cliff and turns out to be a robot

So I just found out I have a $15 best buy gift code on my account that expires in a week, are there any good games I should put it toward or should I just buy an eshop / steam card or the wedding bowser amiibo

Yeah this week has been pretty lackluster I think

Edit: I am reading this book about the history of the NES and it has a bunch of fascinating details. Like the Famicom's player two controller had a microphone instead of start and select buttons, so you had this kind of thing happen:

Etrian Odyssey 5 just came out, if that's the kind of thing you like. I'd probably get a steam card though.

I've played that with a 360 controller. Kinda janky but it shows the proper prompts too.

It totally is, but I should probably get around to finishing EO4. I don't even know why I stopped playing it a couple of years ago, I was pretty close to the end I think.

I’m hearing that the new Wolfenstein isn’t the font of political commentary the marketing would have you believe. Makes a lot of sense given it probably got written before Trump won but I have to admit to feeling disappointed that that might be the case

Yeah, so far it's very straightforward "nazis are bad" and it only feels like commentary because the real world is suddenly wishy-washy about that.

I mean, I don't know what you expected out of it other than wolfenstein stepping back up to the microphone to say "by the way, in case you didn't get it the first time, Nazis are loving bad". There is a black lady character that talks about white america like she's ranting directly about america in 2017 though and BJ's response is exactly as cheesy as it should be if that counts

If that's what you're worried about, don't be, there is plenty of "the american people sympathize the nazis now because they've been brainwashed by stockholm syndrome"

edit: Often shortly followed by "but we gotta ignite a revolution and make them realize that actually nazis are still bad!!"
