Can a video game protagonist's appearance really make or break the entire gaming experience? Join us on Project Geekology, episode 95, where we tackle the buzz surrounding Star Wars Outlaws, focusing on our early adventures and the thrill of side quests. Dakota and Anthony share their firsthand impressions, including a fun detour to a local convention where Anthony snagged a One Piece-themed glass mug. The excitement doesn't stop there as we dive into the latest casting news for the One Piece live-action adaptation, featuring Joe Manganiello as Crocodile and Lera Abova as Nico Robin. Spoiler: We're thrilled about these choices!
Balancing adult life with our geeky passions isn't always easy, but it makes for some interesting stories. From tackling a construction job and an OSHA 30 course to managing research on Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra, we discuss the everyday struggles of finding time for video gaming. We also address the mixed reviews of Star Wars Outlaws, particularly the commentary on protagonist Kay Vess’s looks, and defend how her character design complements the game's gritty world. Plus, we break down the emotional impact of the "Leaves from the Vine" scene, proving that some moments in animation can touch our hearts deeply.
Ever get lost in the excitement of open-world RPG side quests? We do too! We explore the backstory of Kay Vess in Star Wars Outlaws, her interaction with the Rebel Alliance, and her journey across fascinating locales like Canto Bight, Toshara, and Akiva. Discussing the ship's intricate design and the multi-faceted syndicate reputation system, we examine how the game stacks up against other RPG titans like The Witcher 3 and Red Dead Redemption 2. Despite some critiques about enemy respawning and the main story's urgency, we revel in the expansive world and anticipate deeper character relationships unfolding as the game progresses. Don't miss out on this packed episode filled with insights and updates from the geek universe!
