A clever mix of stakes material and spiritual? A return to Lothal, only to find it terribly transformed under the industrial violence of the Empire? A series of episodes where Ezra and Sabine really click as complementary characters? Oh, we are so back. And we won't even let the kind of forgettable (but basically enjoyable) fourth episode of this set bring us down. Support the show by going to Patreon.com/civilized!

(AURN News) — At least 14 United Nations peacekeepers were killed and many others wounded when M23 rebels, backed by Rwanda, attacked U.N. positions in eastern Congo, the latest casualties in an escalating conflict that has forced hundreds of thousands to flee their homes. The attacks took place between January 23 and 24, when M23 rebels fired on positions held by the U.N. stabilization mission known as MONUSCO. U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres warned that attacks against U.N. personnel may constitute a war crime and called for an immediate investigation. He also demanded M23 cease hostilities and withdraw from occupied areas, while also calling on Rwandan defense forces to end their support of M23 and pull out of Congolese territory. The violence has triggered a humanitarian emergency in the region, with civilians facing dire conditions. "A major surge in violence in the eastern region of DRC has led to hundreds of thousands of people fleeing multiple active conflict zones," said Shelley Thakral, head of communications for the World Food Program in Congo. Thakral shared the updates during a special U.N. briefing on Tuesday. "WFP's priority is keeping staff and their dependents safe," Thakral said. "Only critical WFP staff remain in the area, and once the security situation improves, we can resume our emergency assistance and operations." The situation continues to deteriorate, according to Thakral. "There are growing protection concerns as hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced in and around Goma," she said. "Many are exposed to gender-based violence and with limited access to food, safe clean water and income, the risks facing the populations hour by hour, day by day will only increase in these volatile conditions."

X-wings and Major Plot Development, here we come. The rebel assault in "Rebel Assault" (Rebels S4, 9) goes off with a bang, but then goes down in flames. With our heroes on the run or worse, the Loth-wolves have important information to share with Kanan. However, "Jedi Night"(Rebels S4,10) breaks the mold about what a star wars episode is, and we are left dealing with devastating fallout both on Lothal and in the hearts of watchers. We still have more of Rebels S4, but the stakes have never been higher for what will happen on Lothal. Send Us Your Thoughts: S4 of Rebels is a short one…and new shows have come out since we started.

Sven und Chris besprechen den 30-Jahre alten CD-ROM-Klassiker Rebel Assault! Wir bitten die schlechte Tonqualität zu entschuldigen.
Wir blicken zurück ins Jahr 1993, in dem die CD-ROM ganz neu und der heisse Shit war. Rebel Assault war eines der ersten Spiele für dieses neue Medium und ist somit ein echter Pionier, der gezeigt hat, was es plötzlich für neue Möglichkeiten gab. Zudem ist des das erste Star Wars Spiel, das nach einer langen Lizenz-Odyssee endlich wieder von LucasArts produziert wurde. Ob George das Ergebnis gefallen hat?

Du moins, la première moitié du résultat. En effet, la liste des jeux développés par l'éditeur culte est telle qu'une division en deux émissions est nécessaire.

Pour ce doublé, je suis accompagné par de sacrés connoisseurs, doublés de gens choupi.

The post-work podcast strikes again and the boys are even less coherent than usual. Matt and Will try to avoid dragging the podcast down into the scatological screeching of the past two episodes. They instead discuss a group of loud, outspoken people they could do without. Reviews include an awesome album nobody has ever heard of (The B.U.M.S. Lyfe N Tyme) and a terrible videogame that they'd never recommend to their worst enemy (Star Wars: Rebel Assault). Listen closely for when they become totally unhinged around minute 57. You've been warned. Find us @whatupbrothapodcast on Instagram so you can see Matt's stock photo collection.
Join The BGS Nerdy Knights as we discuss Star Wars Rebels Season 4, episodes 7-9, titled “Kindred,” “Crawler Commandeers,” and “Rebel Assault.” Ready to get into this whole rebellion thing on Lothal? If you're not, you'd better buckle in as we join the Spectres on a massive crawler and try to overtake its slaver crew! Then Flo joins in to give her takes as a first time watcher in Newbie from Naboo! To close, we all explore our questions about these episodes and seek answers in each other and the wider Star Wars lore! Thank you so much to Marvel Dice Throne for supporting today's episode.

In der ersten Hälfte der 90er ging ein Rutsch durch die Spielewelt, CD-ROM Laufwerke und CD basierte Konsolen wurden immer beliebter. In der Frühzeit waren die meisten Spiele allerdings nur kosmetisch von ihren Disketten- oder Modulgegenstücken zu unterscheiden, z.B. durch die Musik, aber nach und nach drängten auch Spiele auf den Markt, die dieses neue Medium voll ausnutzten. Ein wichtiger früher Vertreter dieser Gattung ist REBEL ASSAULT aus dem Jahr 1993: Kurz nach X-Wing erschien ein Spiel, das durch unfassbare Filmszenen und bombastischen Sound richtiges Star Wars Feeling an den heimischen PC brachte...zumindest, war das unser damaliges Empfinden. Denn von dieser Magie ist heute nicht mehr allzu viel zu spüren... Was machte Rebel Assault aber so besonders ? Was sind die Schwächen und welche Technik steckt dahinter? Dan und Hardy haben einiges zu besprechen und aufzuarbeiten. Sprecher: Daniel Cloutier und Hardy Heßdörfer Lust direkt über diese Folge zu diskutieren ? Schau doch mal im Nerdwelten Discord Kanal oder auf unserer Facebook Seite vorbei ! Auf Twitter sind wir ebenfalls zu finden. Wir freuen uns über dein Feedback ! Auch für eure Unterstützung sind wir sehr dankbar, mehr Infos gibt es HIER Nerdwelten Musik: Ben Dibbert (Nordischssound) Introstimme: Claudia Urbschat-Mingues Schnitt: Daniel Cloutier & Hardy Heßdörfer Vielen Dank an Kevin Arnold vom Bucketheads Podcast für seinen kompetenten Einspieler Das erwähnte Nerdwelten YouTube Video zu Rebel Assault gibt es HIER
Imagine being present during the golden age of the dinosaurs, or traveling back to witness the rise of Athens, the fall of Rome, or the incredible first flight of the Wright brothers. The awe and wonder you would feel watching those first few moments of the moon landing, or the emotional ride of Banting and Best taking their first steps towards saving the lives of millions of people every year. Well, now is your chance to turn the clock back and witness a moment that is of equal gravity and impact on the history of the human species. Jay and Benny are proud to present a B-Side more anticipated and coveted than anything hacks like The Beatles and NIN ever crapped out. While we sort out a couple of mid-life crisis situations, and while Jay uses medication to hold down his vomit while editing our upcoming Transformers (1986) episode, please enjoy this short introduction prologue - the first episode we ever recorded, which has lain dormant and unreleased until this moment. Join us at the very start of our podcast journey, before movies like Krull and Remo Williams crushed what little happiness and hope we held in our hearts, as we explore such random garbage as: How stupid Loot Crate and its ilk are Collecting something you love is fine. Collecting it until your bank account is empty is...not fine Did you know that they made a Babylon 5 John Sheridan action figure? A lot of people like us are bringing their kids up with the original Star Wars, not the new trash fire being presented. What will Disney do in 5-10 years when they start demanding more Luke, Han and Leia? FYI; in the 90's, there was no Star Wars. People like us kept it alive by slogging through games like Rebel Assault. You're welcome Simpler times, when we were younger, and thoroughly enjoyed watching someone else play a video game like Dark Forces. While having to eat chips in the kitchen. Long story Please read the Expanded Universe Star Wars books. Please. If you are even remotely unsatisfied with where the new trilogy went, these books will cleanse your soul Us spending 10 minutes trying to justify the structure and content of our show
The crew of the way return from a dangerous detour codenamed the "Dollhouse," a derelict Imperial research vessel whose inhabitants stalked our fearless fringers as they tried to loot the abandoned ship. Barely escaping with their lives, they return with a haul of scavenged supplies to trade for credits and information on a safe route into the uncharted Lehon system. However, Elo also returns with a haunting souvenir, a mask belonging to one of the abhorrent experiments aboard the derelict ship, a strange reminder of some elusive element of Elo's program, buried deep beneath their circuits and memory. The crew returns to the Ring of Kafrene to sell off their goods, get some well earned R&R, and begin their next journey into the unknown regions of Wild Space.

Die 1990er-Jahre waren für Fans von Computer- und Videospielen eine goldene Epoche: Das Jahrzehnt von Love Parade, MTV, Tamagotchi und Discman hat zahlreiche Games-Klassiker, langlebige Franchises und aufregende Hardware-Innovationen hervorgebracht, von denen die Spieleindustrie teilweise heute noch zehrt. Auch wir haben viele denkwürdige Erinnerungen an diese Dekade, die unsere Begeisterung für das Medium geschürt und uns den Weg in unseren heutigen Beruf als Spielejournalisten geebnet hat. In dieser Folge von Games Insider schwelgen Benedikt, Sönke und Olaf in wohliger Nostalgie und sprechen über Gaming-Momente, die für immer bleiben werden. Mit dabei sind Erlebnisse mit unsterblichen Meilensteinen wie The Secret of Monkey Island, Doom, Tomb Raider, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Duke Nukem 3D, Gran Turismo, Half-Life, Metal Gear Solid, Command & Conquer, Super Mario 64, Rebel Assault, System Shock, Resident Evil und dem Bundesliga Manager Professional. Um nur einige der in dieser Episode thematisierten Spiele zu nennen. Außerdem erinnern wir uns an "Wow"-Momente mit den ersten 3D-Beschleunigerkarten von 3dfx, unglaubliche Gerüchte rund um einen ehemals indizierten id-Software-Shooter, Speicher-Einrichtungsorgien unter MS-DOS und Strand-Spielessions mit dem Game Boy. Und ein paar launige Hörer-Anekdoten geben wir ebenfalls zum Besten. Jetzt aber Ohren auf und viel Vergnügen mit der neuen Episode!

Here at Medium Retro, we love Star Wars. Yeah, yeah, we know, not a surprising admission from a couple of lifelong nerds, but for Micah, this episode is very special, taking him back through years of his youth playing classic Star Wars titles like Dark Forces and Shadows of the Empire. For Jono, well….he kind of missed the boat on these classic games. It’s a fun discussion of pure nostalgia and discovery and spans an entire decade of Star Wars titles, both good and bad.We cover a variety of Star Wars games, including X-Wing, Rebel Assault, Super Star Wars Trilogy, Dark Forces, Shadows of the Empire, Jedi Knight - Dark Forces II, and Star Wars Episode 1: Racer. We also add segments for the the first time and dig into Star Wars beyond the games. We hope you enjoy episode 3 of Medium Retro!Our aim is to be completely fan-funded, so please check out our Patreon at mediumretro.com or by going to Patreon and searching for "medium retro."

Welcome to another episode of I'll Show You Mine! We're celebrating the end of December, aka Star Wars season, with two of the early Star Wars video games that were released in the years between the end of the original trilogy and the release of the Special Editions in the late 90s, "Star Wars: Rebel Assault" and "Star Wars: Rebel Assault 2, The Hidden Empire"Join us as we play through as much as we can stand of the original, brutally difficult "Rebel Assault" and discuss the more detailed plot and easier mechanics of the sequel. We marvel at the similarities between Luke Skywalker and the star of "Hidden Empire," Rookie One and answer the age-old question, at the end of the day, can you look at this thing and call it a Star War?Our next episode will be January 10th, when Elyse shows James "Rudolph's Shiny New Year" from 1976.Follow @isympodcast on Twitter for show updates and more, and be sure to check out twitch.tv/sparkmandesigns for streaming games and art!Our theme song is:Dreams by Joakim Karud @joakimkarudCreative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported— CC BY-SA 3.0 creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/

On a évoqué la possibilité de faire un podcast sur LucasArts en plein enregistrement d’Hommage Collatéral (l’autre projet chéri de votre serviteur) sur George Lucas... eh ben voilà le résultat ! Du moins, la première moitié du résultat. En effet, la liste des jeux développés par l’éditeur culte est telle qu’une division en deux émissions est nécessaire. Le format de cet épisode est donc différent des autres, puisqu’après être revenu sur les origines du studio, on énumère chacun de ses projets. Et on passe du temps sur ceux qui méritent qu’on s’y attarde… et il y en a un certain nombre ! Cette première partie explore la période la première décénie de la firme, de Ballblazer à The Dig, en passant par Maniac Mansion, Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam & Max, Fate of Atlantis, X-Wing, Rebel Assault, Full Throttle, Dark Forces et beaucoup d’autres jeux que vous connaissez… ou pas.

Podcast breakdown: 0:44 DF Discussion 59:08 Break 59:38 Takeaways Issues covered: the Kell dragon, entirely too much discussion of dragon types, being unsure what to do, not matching up with the fantasy, puzzle elements in fighting, having a role-playing moment in an action game that you don't often have in an RPG, starting as a Luke Skywalker game, lacking a hook for why it's Jabba's ship, enemy types, cuts later in games, the iso chamber maze puzzle, making the level itself into an interesting space, bending constraints to your will, not having anyone to tell you you can't do a thing, lowering risk, shifting towards production realities, the cost of a pivot raising aversion to risk, distinctions between studios (tech-driven vs design-driven vs art-driven), having to compete on all three, "you are fighting Boba Fett, so that's pretty cool," player skill puzzles, executing on a plan that's working, minimal story telling, television vs films, build up and implication, filling in a lot yourself, leaning on the films, the only source of Phrik in the galaxy, unmotivated space, the conveyor belt action bits, gaminess of a level, placing obstacle courses at the end of games, denouement and falling action, climax and the lack of remaining action, remaking the game, level design high water mark, being evolutionary rather than revolutionary, elevating through design and Star Wars bits, gadgetry and secondary mechanics, introduction of the Dark Trooper, high quality music, using Jedi in games, what you choose to build into your design, cornering the market in the Auction House, picking a setting that supports the fantasies, the MDA framework.

Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary.

I'm back! I'd said that my time off (the "sabbatical") was only temporary, and that I planned to return to the microphone to continue Boardgames To Go. And that's just what happened. During the year that I've been away from this podcast, I've still been playing plenty of games, which you can read about. I've been doing more wargaming, which you can hear about. And perhaps you've seen or heard me at BGGcon or on other podcasts & videocasts. Which means I was never really gone. Nonetheless, those things are different from producing my own boardgame podcast, and I'm happy to be doing that again. To kick off my return, I'm featuring a roundtable discussion with a bunch of friends after we played a full day of Star Wars-themed boardgames. You may recall that I once grumbled about boardgame themes that were for kids (including kids that never grew up), not grown-ups. I have to admit I still feel that way about most games involving goblins, zombies, or spaceships. BUT...you're all welcome to call me a hypocrite when it comes to Star Wars. Here is where I cave. I was in 5th grade when A New Hope was released, and it may not be an exaggeration to say it changed my life. I'd decided to be a "spacecraft architect" the year before, and that's sort of what really happened in my life, but Star Wars probably sealed the deal. I remember talking with a college classmate who had a similar experience, and she grew up in Singapore. What an influence! Back in 1977 I was everything Star Wars. My brother & I saw the film many times in the theater. I had the LED watch, the belt buckle (this was the 70s), the t-shirt, the action figures, the X-wing, the LP records... When the prequels came around my kids were the perfect age to enjoy them with me. Now that the new movies are upon us, I'm loving the fact that they're December releases, so even though they're away to college (& beyond), we can still enjoy them as a family over the holidays. Star Wars has always been an important part of my life. What about Star Wars games? Well, yes, kind of. It took a long while for some really good games about these favorite movies to arrive on the table. I had the vintage Escape from the Death Star game, but it's not good. We played some Star Wars RPG when it came out in the 1980s, and a couple of the associated wargames. (Star Warriors was tedious, but Assault on Hoth was good.) Though I'm only a casual computer and videogamer, in the 2000s I definitely had wonderful times playing Rebel Assault, Rogue Squadron, Battlefrontand others with my son. Anything we could play co-op was our favorite. More recent years have produced quite a few family strategy games with a Star Wars subject. Oddly enough, the prequels have some of the best games, probably because that's just when Craig Van Ness and Rob Daviau at Hasbro were doing incredible things with the production capability of that mainstream publisher. Other publishers, too, however. Now we're seeing a resurgence in Star Wars boardgames, like an awakening in the Force... I invited some friends over to play several of these titles for a Star Wars-themed game day, and then flipped on the recorder to have a roundtable discussion of them. Enjoy! -Mark P.S. AFTER the Star Wars game day we learned about the Black Series (aka deluxe) edition of the Risk game. It addresses most of our grumbling about the production shortcuts in the mass market edition we played...but not all of them. I'm not sure if it's worth the extra money. And I've already bought a couple MicroMachines to get figs for the Falcon and Executor in my game.
In this third episode discussing Final Fantasy IX, we welcome a bunch of new listeners. We return to talking about themes, some of which are evolving, but also pacing and combat balancing. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: From Black Mage Village to Treno (Tetra Master Tournament) Podcast breakdown: 0:28 Intro & reintroduction of hosts/podcast 11:52 First segment: themes and pacing 39:04 Break 1 39:32 Second segment: literariness, Vivi, Iifa Tree battle, pacing 1:21:48 Break 2 1:22:15 Third segment: reader mail, outro Issues covered: host history and what the podcast is about, correction!, has Brett turned Tim into a JRPG player?, Shakespeare influences, mazes of twisty little passages, orphans, automatons becoming sentient, getting hitched in Sanctuary, written dialog vs recorded dialog, using mechanics to do something amusing (something only games do?), humor via timing vs repetition, thieves (Sanctuary, Treno, Tantalus), checking into characters' feelings in a not-overly mechanical way, pacing and surprise, pen and paper DMs, Tim throws Brett a question, well-rounded characters and the literariness of the games, Vivi as the stand-in for the player, Soulcage and the Iifa Tree, toying with human perception, level 5 death, monologuing, Eiko as Sally or Lucy, a meal in Madain Sari, appearances and how you treat people, tangent: skipping combat/unnecessary death and combat in games, the meta that explains why a person can die, Tetra Master and side games inside of JRPGs, eidolons and summoning (and introductions), disc breaks and where the movies fit in, pacing problem in Alexandria, unwieldy exposition and building again, grinding vs buying equipment and the potential for player expression, player skill and combat, best intentions and combat balancing, does anyone know about "descent" in Japanese culture?

Hey gamers! Thanks for listening. Today we're talking all about two of our long time LucasArts favorites, Star Wars: Rebel Assault I & II. Although after replaying them, we're not exactly sure why they've been our favorites for 20+ years... on to the show!We start out with some of the history of the games, how they got made, that kind of thing. Then at the 8:30 mark we talk a little bit about the setup and characters of both games. After that, at 14:15, we're joined by the by the ebullient Nick Gates to talk gameplay, and then he joins us for another classic rendition of "What's The Beer? What's The Song?" at 44:45. (Spoiler alert: Jason's beer is terrible.) Finally, we say farewell to Nicholas and finish things up talking about next month's game at 53:00.What is next month's game? It's one of the most classic LucasArts games of all time: The Secret of Monkey Island. Just a great game, and holds up better than any game we've played so far.
