Witcher Corner

• Coming out October 15th, 2019
• The graphics are good, but it defiantly shows that it was not optimized for this hardware
• • Maybe its because I’m bad at it, but I accept the lower graphic quality on my Skyrim for Switch, because it feels far more casual
  • There is less information you need to process on the smaller screen for Skyrim
  • Witcher has a more complex user interface as well as needing to see detailed information, making playing on the go seemingly more difficult

• This series leans more on the content of the novels than the games
• It will be releasing late this year but I found something interesting, there is a show already out.
• The Hexer, is a 2002 Polish film
• • The film received generally negative reviews after its release and since, with reviewers being generally positive in regard to actors and music, but critical of the plot and special effects.
  • A 13 episode television series of the same name was also made.
  • The series has been described as better than the movie which preceded it, but the poor critical and fan reception of the movie, which was described as a glorified, incoherent trailer for the TV show, was cited as one of the reasons for the series cancellation after 13 episodes.

Josh recommend’s The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance

• I have only seen the first episode, which is an hour long
• The world looks vast and beautiful
• The characters, the ones featured in the film and new ones, are believable to the universe
• • It is interesting to me to see the Emperor a lot younger
  • Since a plot point in the movie is him dying from old age
• Feels like it was made with the exact parts from the original film
• The cast is amazing! Some name that stood out to me include:
• • Simon Pegg
  • Sigourney Weaver
  • Mark Hamill
  • Helena Bonham Carter
  • I’m sure people will recognize more than I did
• It is everything I wanted from the Legends of the Dark Crystal, which was a manga based on the universe before the movie takes place, but only ran for 2 volumes
