I'll probably watch that with my wife at some point. Been looking forward to it.

Just finished Invincible S2. Also pretty great.

Haven't had a chance to check it out yet, but very much looking forward to it. If it's half as good as the trailer, it will be awesome.

I watched two episodes last week and then burned through the last 6 on saturday. It's fantastic. From character development to awesome story. It makes me want to try the games. I've always avoided fallout but if the story is half as good as the series, I should definitely play it.

Agreed on the TV Series, watched the first couple of episodes now and trying to slow burn the others. Straight out of the Fallout Universe, right down to the very subtle G.O.A.T montage that you wouldn't realize what they were doing unless you'd played the game.

If you like the series you'll love the games, particularly 3 and New Vegas. Fallout 3 GOY is available for free if you have an Amazon subscription, although it is played through the Luna cloud system. Just for grins I played about the first 90 minutes over the weekend. It played flawlessly.

I've never tried anything on luna but they do have 76 for DL and steam is having a sale on all of Fallout so I'll just grab 3 and new vegas over there then

Also really enjoying it. Watched 2 1/2 episodes and been really impressed. I heard people complain about it being overly gory but it seems about right for fallout.

Our satellite service is limited and expensive. I do pay for an upgraded package plus a couple of special channels but no streaming. Because I tether my mobile phone to the computer to get high speed I don’t stream over it either. Data costs $!!!
I received the first two seasons of The Mandalorian for Christmas and binged watched all the episodes plus the special features. I was totally lost. I had to Google Star Wars chronological order and then read up on all the stuff I’ve missed just to understand where in the Stars Wars time line this story takes place.
WOW… I’ve missed a lot. Who would have thought that you had to watch the carton series Clone Wars to grasp this series and the others? Anyway, season one was slow and jumped around. The wife and I enjoyed season two much more but… “The Child” leaves with Skywalker at the end like it was only written for two seasons. However, I read that they did a third and have written a fourth.
We also picked up and watched Ferrari. Good film, some great acting that obviously was overlooked at the awards. I really wish they had put more into the special features. They barely touched on building of the hero cars. Hint; they started life as Caterhams.

Meh, I tried watching the Clone Wars and found it boring (I know, minority opinion) and the Mandalorian was much better, and a great space western even if it were stand-alone and not in the chronological timeline (which I don't even understand other than which triplet series came before which).

Then again, I rarely dig that deep into these things, nor do I discuss it much.
