‘The Mandalorian’ Trailer: Bounty Hunting Is A Complicated Profession, But Fuck It Looks Cool
Man. Another trailer for The Mandalorian. Another wet spot in my fucking undies. Straight-up, this show looks so fucking good.
Microsoft bringing back Xbox All Access bundles with Project Scarlett upgrade included in one. G’damn that’s gotta be tempting for some!
Microsoft is bringing back its All Access bundle. The motherfucker is essentially the same as a cell phone subsidization or whatever — you pay as little as $19.99 a month for 24-months. In return? You get a console, XBL, and Xbox Game Pass. But, wait, there’s more! If you choose to opt into the Xbox One X bundle? You’ll get a free upgrade to Project Scarlett next year.
Pretty fucking dope deal, no?
Monday Morning Commute: the stars are yours (and mine)
Goddamn, is the Fall ever a twinset of gloom and glory. There’s something sublime about watching the leaves turn, experiencing the air crispen, and observing the stars throb. But, at the same time? Man, does it make existing a struggle. Early evenings, dreary afternoons, and the promise of only more darkness for the foreseeable future.
Like I said, a twinset! For as much as I enjoyed Fall last week? Sunday was a soufflé of sadness and ennui.
And then!
The work week!
Fuck me!
Anyways, thankfully, I got my own series of supplements to get me through the work week. And, I don’t just mean the uncomfortably large number of actual supplements I take on a daily basis. I also mean the variety of shows, games, and other pop culture popcorn I’m gorging on, to fight back the darkness.
And since this is Monday Morning Commute, I’ll enumerate them for you! Then, I hope you’ll join me in the comments section.
ESO has found what COULD be the smallest dwarf planet in our solar system! Hygiea, baby!
Hygiea was an asteroid! However, it may actually be the smallest dwarf planet in the solar system! The finding comes courtesy of the European Southern Observatory.
‘The Foundation’ adaptation casts Jared Harris and Lee Pace in lead roles! Too bad Goyer is involved, and it’s on fucking Apple TV
The Foundation is some of my favorite science-fiction. Jared Harris and Lee Pace fucking rule. This casting is fantastic! That said, man. It’s hard to be stoked about a series on Apple TV, with David S. Goyer as showrunner. Fuck.
Space Swoon: A gorgeous glimpse at four galaxy mega-clusters colliding!
Fuck yeah! The Chandra X-ray Observatory snagged this righteous picture! It’s a capture of four galaxy mega-clusters colliding.
Weekend Open Bar: High Flying and High Fiving!
Oh yeah, motherfuckers! It’s time for high fiving, and high flying! At least for Bateman and me! Tomorrow night we’re going to a Halloween party, and with the lede in mind, you can guess who we are going as! And I’ll confess, I’ve never been closer to having a mustache. And I’ll confess, it terrifies me.
If you’re good, you’ll get pictures. Unless it terrifies you as well, in which you’ll get pictures if you sin.
Anyways! Anyways. This is Weekend Open Bar! It’s the hangout that hits every weekend, imploring you to spend some time with me aboard the Space-Ship Omega.
Oh hey, ‘Watch Dogs 3’ is also delayed and now Spring 2020 is really wide open
Watch Dogs 3 is also delayed! For a minute, Spring 2020 looked insane. DOOM Eternal, Final Fantasy VII Money Grab, The Last of Us Part II, and Cyberpunk 2077. Well, little by little, it’s thinning out. Feeling a bit less overwhelming.
‘The Last of Us Part II’ delayed until May 2020. Sucks, but delay is better than compromised quality.
It was announced literally last month that The Last of Us Part II was dropping in February, 2020. That is no more. Now, the title is dropping May 29th, 2020. And I ain’t complaining! Not only do I want the team to take as long as they need, but it also frees up what was an insanely packed Spring.
Conan O’Brien is in ‘Death Stranding’ as Kojima continues to dare us to call him on his bullshit, my god
Conan O’Brien is in Death Stranding. A game, which seems like it features many ridiculous and cool things. But, is a cool game? I’m skeptical as fuck.
