It's sad, because I really wanted to play Devotion. gently caress China.

Good Bad or Bad Bad looks at another Erik Estrada film in which the villain is killed by his wristwatch.

I think everyone who played New Colossus liked it the least. It has some really good parts but the gameplay isn't as good as Old Blood and the story isn't as good as New Order.

No, Bigger Luke and Luuke are different things.

Luuke is a clone of Luke created by the Emperor.

Bigger Luke is the slightly larger version of Luke that appears randomly in some shots in the original trilogy.

And for completion Luuuke is an April Fool's day joke from 2012 that Wookieepedia plays entirely straight until the "Behind the Scenes" section at the bottom of the article where it's framed with the tone of "sure, this was supposed to be a joke, but..."

The whole "Bigger Luke" thing is fascinating because it's the Star Wars fandom pretty much collectively redeveloping the philosophical notion of the "Imaginary Luke."

Luuke was the evil clone created by Jorus C'Baoth's evil clone Joruus C'Baoth.

Also at one point they tried to clone Mitthrawnuruodo as Mitthrawnuuruuodo but that one was killed before it could wake up.

I haven't played New Colossus yet, but what I heard was that the campaign or writing was pretty weak, and it had some design issues that manifest on the higher difficulties.

The New Colossus misses some opportunities but has some strong character writing that is genuinely really fun and it continues to quench my thirst for dual-wielding auto-shotguns. It's not quite as strong as The New Order but I felt pretty good about it.

Only Joruus and Luuke do the double-vowel thing, probably because Jorrus is insane.

Yeah, the whole "Health capped to 50"- thing would have been fine if it had only been for the first fourth of the game or so instead of the whole first half.
Also they really nerfed stealth by having every enemy in the area instantly alerted when you are discovered.

I didn't mind the story, even if the pacing was really weird.

And then there was the loving court room level. Which really endeared itself to me further by being a dream sequence

Though, all in all i enjoyed and it is still a good game imho, but it was the weakest of the New Wolfenstein games, mainly because of some really weird design decisions.

I watched some of it after it showed up on youtube, and I had to go before finishing it, I had assumed it wasn't a real expose, and that it would descend into absurdity as adult swim tends to do.

Google says that there was a previous episode made in early 2018.

Finishing it: yeah, I don't think its real, but its coming from a real place about a real issue.

It's as real as any Nathan for You or Sacha Baron Cohen show, I think. I assume the guys mostly figured out what was going on, so the joke turns more into "watching an old porn dude jack off in my face in VR to own the libs." For whatever it's worth, the woman who's in the regular interview (Renee Gittens) showed up on some related subreddit to confirm that they just told her it was a special news report for "Turner Broadcasting." They pulled the same thing on John McAfee for a good segment in the same episode.

The 2018 one's main segment is similar with a segment on campus rape that has 3 guys have to watch over real dolls at a frat party (it's better than it sounds) and then they do a dating game segment with the "Cannibal Cop" as the bachelor.

I've seen all of Cowboy Bebop, but I'm currently playing through Super Robot Wars T, which oddly features Cowboy Bebop, so I'll wait until the end of that since that's obviously the new canon.

Not gonna spoil anything big, but it mostly integrates the Cowboy Bebop story into the context of the game while shuffling around some settings and certain elements to give them something to do. Arcadia of My Youth: Endless Orbit SSX is also in the game, and an early story beat they integrate is the biggest bounty in that universe is Captain Harlock.
