POPULARITY
Sorry for the delay folks. Needed a little extra time to process my thoughts on this last special edition. Mike and I went on for two hours about Jedi Fallen Order. Obviously, we both love the game. I was wrong for not playing and beating it sooner. The story is great. Characters are great. Voice acting superb. Graphics, sound effects, music, gameplay, combat, absolutely phenomenal! Respawn has made a fool out of EA. By forcing developers to develop games, simply because they are game developers has blown up in EA's face. Zampella and the rest of Respawn have proven that EA's "online only" multiplayer centric business model is simply a profit motivated decision, rather than develop art for the sake of art. I understand that taking risks in a industry as competitive as video games is a tough sell but, if you design games for their audience, people will buy them. You don't always need to have blockbuster bombastic Call of Duty's to guarantee sales. The powers at Disney, carefully and thoughtfully helped Respawn craft a piece of art worthy of the title Star Wars. Rant over. There's a lot to talk about in this game. Let's start with the setting. Five years after Order 66, we are introduced to former Jedi Cal Kestis. Living his life in obscurity, trying to make ends meet. Cal has abandoned the way of the Jedi. However, fate has caused him to utilize his powers once more to save a life. The Imperial Inquisition becomes wise of Cal's existence, thus setting off the chain of events which begin the story. Both this show, and Kenobi show the evolution of the Empire's tech from Attack of the Clones to Revenge of the Sith, to A New Hope. At this point we see the Storm Trooper armor we know and love from the original trilogy. We can also infer the empire is on a five to ten year upgrade path. We see the semi-modern Clone Trooper armor in Revenge of the Sith that has less elements of Jango Fett's Mandalorian armor and more modern Stormtrooper elements. Specifically the visor and vents. Either way, Cal is set forth on his task after being rescued by another former Jedi Cere Junda. I'm not going to spoil all of the game's plot here except that Cere is looking for a holocron left behind by another master. With it, Cere hopes to utilize it's knowledge to rebuilt the Jedi Order and fight the empire. This game kicked my ass. Mostly because I was playing it wrong. Yes, I cranked the difficulty up to Jedi Grandmaster. Why? I am a veteran of all From Software games since Demon's Souls and everything in between. While most will compare the combat to Dark Souls it's actually more like Sekiro Shadows Die Twice. I was playing the game much more aggressively and the game was punishing me for it. While the parry windows are much narrower on higher difficulty, the game rewards deflecting enemy attacks much more than breaking an enemies guard by brute force. Even on the highest difficultly when I simply deflected enemy attacks I was rewarded with more opportunities to do damage versus attacking, guard-breaking, then attacking some more. Either way, I learned a valuable lesson and powered through the rest of the game until it's climatic ending. I'm not going to spoil it. If you've never played this game you absolutely must. I will leave amazon associate links for where to purchase. Thanks for listening guys. I hope you enjoy the game as much as Mike and I did. -Luca Subscribe to us on YouTube Subscribe on Apple Podcasts Subscribe on Spotify Visit us on Reddit Check out the Discord Server Email us at StarWarsRewatchPodcast@gmail.com

Dean Weaver, EPC Stated Clerk, welcomes Suzanne Zampella, Transitional Pastor for First Presbyterian Church in Monett, Missouri. The two discuss how her sense of calling to the ministry was awakened when she was ordained as a Ruling Elder. She also talks about serving in an ECO—Evangelical Covenant Order of Presbyterians—church, and how the role of a Transitional Pastor is as a change agent, helping a congregation know who they are and what they want to be. Zampella also reflects on the EPC's Small Church Summit, held October 11-13 in Orlando, and how it not only provided opportunity for pastors to build relationships with each other, but also demonstrated that the denomination values and supports pastors of smaller churches. In addition, she discusses some of the challenges and joys of serving the small church.
Canción del día: Manacore - Sa Fosca ¡Cómo estáis, mi gente! Esperamos que con las pilas cargadas, especialmente si vivís en España y habéis podido gozar de unos cuantos días de descanso. Hoy, traemos un programa un poquito distinto: no solo porque no haya movidas, si no porque además el programa es en 2/3 puritita información, como si fuéramos ahora el telediario de la Sexta. ¿Y qué ha pasado, me preguntaréis? Pues la llegada de Zampella a Battlefield y Dice, la recogida de cable de Geoff con respecto a Activision y, más importante, un Game Pass de Sony que nos da para un debate apasionadísimo sobre si tiene sentido o no. Para cerrar, un análisis, como sabéis que nos gusta hacer: Battlefield 2042, juego que tiene sus luces y sombras, a juzgar por el hecho de que es uno de los juegos peor valorados del año en Metacritic. Que a nosotros eso nos da igual, pero oye, mira, había que decirlo. Días sin Wind Waker HD: 1645

When Respawn Entertainment (subsidiary of Electronic Arts) decided to change its Apex Legends "Iron Crown" event, it sent its developers to the wild lands of Reddit to talk with fans about monetization, business models, and everything in between. What developed from there were hurt feelings, ad hominem attacks, and all manner of insults and recriminations; from redditors, yes, but, more significantly, from the developers themselves. After the fireworks, Respawn CEO Vince Zampella took to Twitter to make an apology to "those offended". But why was the approach chosen by Mr. Zampella likely a mistake? An apology *can* hurt...in Virtual Legality.
