Good morning folks! This is the earliest recording time I've done (we're talking 6AM) so enjoy it, and yes, that's why I'm calling it a breakfast special. The crack of dawn aside, today we're getting into it with some huge news.
THE TRAILER FOR AVENGERS 4 IS HERE! There, so if you haven't seen it yet please go to the internet and do that. After watching it, it's not an exaggeration to say I was frothing at the mouth in anticipation for the release. To see the familiar faces of the Big 3 that started it all was surreal, especially after we've all just been in limbo after Infinity War, yearning for answers after The Snap. I'll be honest, as a commercial for a movie...it's a little lacking. None of the reveals shock, and most of what you see is stuff we all could have guessed would be in the next Avengers movie. I mean, even I called Clint donning the Ronin outfit for A4 way back, but that doesn't mean it wasn't still awesome to see. This was just a taste, I get it, so I'm not too fussed. Plus I'm sure the next trailer will give away too much, but it'll be nice to see a glimpse of what's to come In the end, it's Marvel, so I'm literally hard with anticipation for this movie, regardless of what's going on. So don't worry, I'll talk about this one at length for the next while. But I filmed this episode before seeing the trailer, so it'll have to be the next D&B episode that's got my rant on the viewing. I guess sit tight until then.
As per usual, Fortnite will also share the spotlight as with any given episode. This time though, the appreciation and attention is well deserved. We just kicked off season 7 yesterday, and it's already proved to be the most fun time I've had in the game. Gone is the overarching story, and attempts at a plot driven season (though I'm sure that stuff is still there somewhere), season seven is cool as hell, finally expanding a winter landscape across 1/3 of the island. This makes for refreshing and rewarding firefights, as mountainous and winter terrain creates a whole host of advantages and disadvantages to exploit. As a Canadian, I love the snow, and porting in a winter wonderland in time for Christmas is just a stroke of guaranteed genius for Epic Games. As with all seasons, this one rolled out with some awesome outfits, pick axes and a plethora of other new content. But as I do, I've saved the best for last; this season introduced airplanes! Finally. The X-4 Storming as it's known (I think). Well as an avid fan of vehicular combat in games, dogfights and aerial battles are the Cadillac of a videogame experience for me. These planes are flying fortresses, able to dish out machine gun fire and boost into a ramming maneuver at will. But despite all that, they're fairly graceful and actually allow for some pretty fancy flying. I've been racking up some of the most fun and wild battles I've had in all the seven seasons I've played the game today, sometimes from simply trying to survive the mad dash everyone's making for the airfields. Anyway guys, get out there and enjoy, because this is closest to Battlefield that Fortnite has ever been.
I mentioned in video, but wanted to reiterate that everyone should be checking out MovieFights by Screen Junkies on YouTube. Ya'll know I'm a fan, but the past few bouts have been so entertaining and sharp, I definitely recommend everyone check them out again. There's actually a title match waiting to happen too, so the stakes have never been higher (or should I say "deeper" #Sharknation).
Thanks for listening guys, I'm already looking forward to the next few episodes, and the renewed Marvel hysteria that's taking root everywhere. Plus I saw Annihilation, and am happy to compliment anything by the always skilled Natalie Portman next time too.
