I'm sure there will be humans in the movie.
Will they be the titular characters?

The towers are such a SMALL part of what you spend your time doing in these games.
They're really only there to force you to visit an area, and physically do something to reveal the map.

Excited to see it. Not sure how TMNT, which are almost 100% guaranteed to be CGI is "live action".

What is a Monte Cristo sandwich?
It's a smash up of a grilled cheese and french toast.
You make a Turkey and/or Ham and cheese sandwich, dip the bread in an egg mixture like it was french toast, and then fry it up.

I haven't had a PB&J since middle school.
Yesterday I did have a Monte Cristo Sandwich, and I used Blueberry jam.

Hilary Cass: Weak evidence letting down children over gender care
WWW.BBC.COM
A landmark report says "toxicity" of debate is hampering medical research into gender services.SpoilerThe Cass Review, published on Wednesday by paediatrician Dr Hilary Cass, calls for gender services for young people to match the standards of other NHS care.
She says the "toxicity" of the debate around gender meant professionals were "afraid" to openly discuss their views.
NHS England says it has already made significant progress in making changes.
The Cass Review, which looked at gender identity services for under-18s, was commissioned by NHS England in 2020 after a sharp rise in the number of patients referred to the NHS who were questioning their gender.
It was announced after whistle-blowers raised concerns about care at the Gender Identity and Development Service (Gids) - which was the only specialist gender clinic for children and young people in England and Wales.
Gids closed last week, four years after it was rated as "inadequate" by inspectors.
....
She said "we don't have good evidence" that puberty blockers are safe to use to "arrest puberty", adding that what started out as a clinical trial had been expanded to a wider group of young people before the results of that trial were available.
"It is unusual for us to give a potentially life-changing treatment to young people and not know what happens to them in adulthood, and that's been a particular problem that we haven't had the follow-up into adulthood to know what the results of this are," she said.
In the weeks leading up to the review's publication, NHS England announced puberty blockers - which Dr Cass defines as hormones that "stop the progress of puberty" - would no longer be routinely prescribed, and should only be given to gender-distressed children as part of clinical trials.
....
"The reality is we have no good evidence on the long-term outcomes of interventions to manage gender-related distress," she writes.
She is clear that children and young adults using the services deserve the highest standards of care and research, which are expected elsewhere in the NHS.
Her report adds that representatives from the regional centres should form a national group to oversee ethics, training and to ensure everyone receives "the same high standards of evidence-based care".

If she is right about one thing, it is about the toxicity on almost any discussion of the data. Both Far-Right and Far-Left activists quickly turn any discussion into culture warriors clashes that IMHO quickly devolve into ad hominem attacks.

Yea I just looked at a guide to see. I'm glad I really dug in to give this a shot. Very cool even though I know you weren't the biggest fan. It's definitely unique.
Alan Wake 2 was a fantastic experience. I still regularly listen to the music. It was the game part I was "meh" on.

It was called Watch Dogs Legion. It was good but ultimately there was just too much hacking and not enough fun.
IMHO, Watch_Dogs 2 was the pinacle of the series.

Star Wars Outlaws: Creative Director Julian Gerighty Breaks Down the New Story Trailer | StarWars.com
WWW.STARWARS.COM
The inside scoop on new characters, plot details, and much more.QuoteAdventure? Excitement? A Jedi craves not these things. But a scoundrel sure does.
Star Wars Outlaws, the highly anticipated open-world game coming August 30 for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC, promises to let fans live their best scoundrel life as Kay Vess, an up-and-comer in the galaxy’s underworld. With the arrival of a new story trailer — featuring the reveal of major villains, potential allies, and more — hype for the first Star Wars game of its kind continues to build. To learn a bit more, StarWars.com had a virtual sitdown with creative director Julian Gerighty of Ubisoft's Massive Entertainment, discussing Star Wars Outlaws’ threatening new crime syndicate, the “dream opportunity” of creating a bounty hunter, and how anyone who’s ever “felt trapped” can identify with Kay.

Darren Waller reveals 'ideal' time for Giants retirement decision he...
NYPOST.COM
The Giants’ starting tight end has been contemplating retirement since January.He had two really productive seasons, and then has been hurt for half of the last 3. Glad we at least got a 3rd rounder for him.

IMHO, Watch Dog's gameplay was distinct from something like GTA in it's use of tech hacks (many through the use of jumping between cameras) and direct control of drones/spiderbot.
I didn't get any of those vibes from last year's Ubisoft Forward trailer.

Skillz has been saying this for a while so I just believe him lol.
If this has huge game mechanics around security cameras, and dialogue that is super-sexualized - I’ll be REALLY surprised.

Massive is one of the better devs at Ubisoft so i'm confident I'll have fun with this even if it's basically Watchdogs in a Star Wars skin... which i suspect it will be primarily.
I’m not seeing the Watch Dogs in this.

I'm hyped for this but cautiously optimistic.
If you like Ubisoft open world games, you’ll probably like this.
As someone who loves Ubi’s games, and loves Star Wars…..-

The DLC for the big open world Ubi games is normally worth getting -- but not at full price. So the "Gold" edition is usually worth it -- but at a discount.
So, if CDKeys gets a ~40% discount prerelease, I will get it then. Otherwise, this one will likely be a Black Friday purchase for me.

Wow. Story trailer looks phenomenal. Can't wait to start seeing gameplay.

It will be as much a live action movie as Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
