[[:encoded, "Hey there everyone, welcome to another edition of Now Showing! For this episode I go into full on solo mode (not meant to be a Han Solo pun mind you) and review the latest Star Wars film Rogue One. The weird thing is though that this isn't really the latest Star Wars film more as it is the first of what is sure to be a string of spin-off Star Wars stories that tie into the greater numbered editions of the Star Wars saga. I start off with some spoiler-free thoughts before heading into the dreaded spoiler zone which I cap it off with some quick thoughts on those reshoots and what all was left on the cutting room floor."]]

[[:encoded, "Welcome to Bits, the podcast made for gamers by gamers. As tend to happen at the end of the year both video game news and new releases are fairly light leaving only a handful of topics to cover such as Ubisoft's continued trend of making their single player games online only with their upcoming title For Honor and some extremely retro news regarding a real life new release for the Super Nintendo game console, yes you read that right. Finally we go into what we've been playing and while we have been playing a lot not much of it is all that new with me giving \nmy thoughts on the third and final update to the Resident Evil 7 demo as well as some deep thoughts on how the 2D stealth action game Mark of the Ninja ended and Madcap once again delving into the worlds of Dragon Quest and Pokemon. All that and more await you within!"]]
