This week I'm walking away with all my FM from the Weekly Missions as I still haven't purchased Alex so no need to do the [Q&I] and I have no interest in trying to get a silly title for beating Shin Necalli, I might drop the FM for Red Earth BGM before the window closes. I wonder if we'll get any info this weekend from NCR...not holding my breath.

As always keep fighting the good fight. Be smart with your FM and don’t complain about the XBM golden soldiers and "Shin" versions of characters because the alternative is Capcom charging REAL MONEY for all DLC characters.

Possible leaked Episode IX poster....belongs in a GARBAGE COMPACTOR

I'm not gonna beat around the bush, this poster is gutter trash!
It was less than a month ago when Oscar Issac said episode IX will be the conclusion to the Skywalker Saga....
OK where is LUKE MUTHAFUCKIN SKYWALKER in this poster!?!
How is Kylo not severing his fingers off holding his light saber that way!? He should be holding the hilt lower for that for God's sake! Why the FUCK is Lando NOT in this Poster?
R2D2 where are you??
This poster is such sloppy Ctrl C, Ctrl V it's jusy lazy wanna be Dru Struzan.
I am a 40 something white dude (sorry Brei) I've been a fan since I saw RotJ in the theaters as a kid, I enjoyed the PT while my friends trashed them, I loved TCW animated series and SW Rebels. This ST is an abomination and just needs to end.
At this point I just want to see some news regarding the Benioff and Weiss movies and The Mandalorian at Celebration April 11th - 15th......

Good Boys - Official Red Band Trailer

Three sixth grade boys ditch school and embark on an epic journey while carrying accidentally stolen drugs, being hunted by teenage girls, and trying to make their way home in time for a long-awaited party.

I'm at a loss for words after Final Round concluded last weekend and we got essentially no news aside from the upcoming Field of Fate DLC stage. I'm still playing but honestly this communication blackout is counter intuitive to me as far as product / customer support.

As always keep fighting the good fight. Be smart with your FM and don’t complain about the XBM golden soldiers and "Shin" versions of characters because the alternative is Capcom charging REAL MONEY for all DLC characters.

Triple Frontier Thoughts and Impressions

The trailer for triple Frontier caught my interest, 5 ex special forces reunite to get paid by killing a South American Drug Lord, an off the record mission that should go by the numbers with minimal casualties and maximum payola.
I enjoyed TF, it was like the A-Team but grounded in reality. There were some scenes with tension but for the most part nothing that caught me by surprise. I liked the cast they felt more believable as ex Spec Ops team than some of the previous names attached to the project.
If you have 2 hours to kill it's not a bad movie, I heard one review complaining that the characters all seemed the same....I think that's a bit over simplifying the characters. Yes they're all ex Spec Ops, Yes they're all strapped for cash to some degree, but each have they're unique ability, Catfish (Pablo Pascal) is the Pilot, Redfly (Affleck) is the planner, Ben (Garret Hedlund) is the scout, Pope (Oscar Isaac) works as a PMC and the mission leader, Ironhead (Charlie Hunnam) is the level headed team member that keeps the team grounded  and focused on the missions objectives.
Like I said the movie aight, I think it's the cast that made the movie better than it is.

Let me begin by saying that the DLC costume as Roll for Sakura looks better than Sakura herself! I'M RICH I made 1,300FM this week! But then I spent 2,500FM for the 4th part of the Gutsman DLC for Rog. DAMN I is PO! I've actually been playing alot of USFIV these past few weeks and enjoying it. 7 days till Final Round, I suspect we'll get the full season 4 roster and some sort of announcement regarding the phase out of FM! I say this based on the CPT2019 DLC bundle announcement the other day, unlike previous years there was no mention of Exclusive Special FM Mission Targets.

As always keep fighting the good fight. Be smart with your FM and don’t complain about the XBM golden soldiers and "Shin" versions of characters because the alternative is Capcom charging REAL MONEY for all DLC characters.
