I'm not in marketing but I sure do have opinions on movie and game trailers!

0:00 - Spaceships, aliens, and laser swords are neat but Tales of the Empire is not very good34:10 - I was ding-dong dashed by a religious person in a grocery store40:50 - The trailer for the new Assassin's Creed has no gameplay but it's like the 15th game in the series, does it really need any at this point?51:47 - Have you seen the trailer for Wicked? Then you don't need to see the movie!

Chat Transcript:

6:59 PMaddictedtochaos​​Hello.

7:00 PMaddictedtochaos​​How has everyone’s weekend gone? I’ve just been deep diving into new music from Collective Soul, Lindsey Stirling, Ra, and Bon Jovi.

7:04 PMsnake​​hello

7:07 PMSheekago​​Hi all

7:11 PMaddictedtochaos​​Grand Admiral Thrawn. To get a good sense of him read the Thrawn trilogy by Timothy Zahn. Starts with “Heir to the Empire”

7:12 PMaddictedtochaos​​All of the Timothy Zahn Star Wars books are quite good.

7:12 PMaddictedtochaos​​He is interesting in the books.

7:14 PMaddictedtochaos​​In fairness, Disney hasn’t used Star Wars very well.

7:14 PMSheekago​​I only know Thrawn through Star Wars Rebels and he was annoying

7:15 PMaddictedtochaos​​It has been very hit and miss. Rogue One = Hit. Rise of Skywalker = Miss

7:16 PMcRoW_Dman​​hey look I finally made it to another one of these

7:18 PMaddictedtochaos​​Disney has handled Star Wars the same way Microsoft has handled Halo after Bungie stopped making them.

7:27 PMcRoW_Dman​​hopefully you haven't forgotten my beautiful face that you've never seen lol

7:28 PMaddictedtochaos​​At least prior to Disney, Star Wars was made by people who liked Star Wars, now about 65% of the time it is made by people who strongly dislike it.

7:31 PMcRoW_Dman​​glad I remind you of metroid 🤣🤣🤣

7:32 PMcRoW_Dman​​yup Cooler said as you know in his first dbz movie

7:38 PMcRoW_Dman​​bro met a magic jojaba witness 🤣

7:42 PMcRoW_Dman​​I can't wait for Sparking Zero to release

7:42 PMcRoW_Dman​​pricing

7:44 PMaddictedtochaos​​I’d rather see a remake of Samurai Western than another Assassins Creed.

7:44 PMcRoW_Dman​​apparently it has something to do with shitting on historical accuracy but my main problem is they're charging you 130 fucking dollars for it. pardon my french. needed to make my point.

7:46 PMaddictedtochaos​​Samurai Western was a PS2 game.

7:47 PMaddictedtochaos​​Samurai Western is kinda pricy these days, goes for at least $150.

7:48 PMcRoW_Dman​​yeah apparently Yasuke was originally Japanese and they made him black or something. I thought he looked cool but 130 dollars is way too much Deluxe edition or not.

7:48 PMcRoW_Dman​​I don't know for sure

7:49 PMcRoW_Dman​​I'm just going by word of mouth

7:49 PMaddictedtochaos​​No, Yasuke was a Black Man, the dispute is whether he was really a Samurai or just a servant for Nobunaga Oda.

7:50 PMcRoW_Dman​​I care way less about the "woke or not" argument and more about the fact that these people can get away with this price point.

7:50 PMcRoW_Dman​​like why is that not what people are talking about?

7:51 PMaddictedtochaos​​Yeah, I’m not paying anywhere close to what they are asking for a game.

7:51 PMcRoW_Dman​​I think another guy named asmon covered the 70$ base price and literally stated "This is why people pirate games" 🤣🤣🤣
