"Reasons to be Cheerful"-Part 4

After a terrible start  to the week-see last post (and Geoffrey out of Rainbow on the same day)  - I'll try and lift spirit -although by the time I complete writing post bound to be suffering from tonight's hangover -but a nice surprise last night - I hope this is Fenn  or Boba for that matter-we'll have to wait for 2020 or whenever this comes out- could be Kevin McKidd  in that armour?  or dude they mentioned in vid  who has a Boba-esque skin tone although not a Maori  so I doubt its him (BTW Jango's from Concord Dawn which falls under Mandalorian jurisdiction it's worrying that this canon cull  has wiped out  the Bounty Hunter game  and Open Seasons /Bloodlines  comic it seems -but in my mind that's canon as is this story I've been colouring- but the story I've been writing  all that re-pressing the start button   makes it not worth doing -wonder how people who worked on that game and those  comics feel about all that too..

A live action Bo Katan and Sabine  here's hoping... 10 hours worth of  Mando  history unfolding I'm  looking forward to it-
Still lots of Resistance against Resistance it seems -which is a pity as it hasn't even kicked off -different style to Clone Wars and Rebels sure- but those ship designs are  awesome  - it's aimed at younglings  but at 46 I'm  still a youngling at heart so we'll see if it is as good as it's predecessors got to give it time  -glad Clone Wars is returning - I reckon  people should at least give this show a chance before been doomsayers- plenty to whinge about in the real world -dig this stuff as it's a escape from dumbsville.- it's getting worse  that place called reality.

Vonreg kinda Red Wolf mk II - 
Kinda Thunderbirds 2086 and Battle of the Planets in a Star Wars galaxy as long as it aint too corny and you care about characters it should do alright and besides I've got faith in Dave .
The other huge news is Red Dead Redemption 2 trailer that dropped on Monday kind of overshadowed by all the sad news this week but it won't be long till I'm sucked back into the Wild Wests dying days Peckinpah/Long Riders style Gonna be a  real game-changer this one -I doubt open world games won't ever be the same after this- my Arthur may  go for the Chris out Magnificent Seven look  (meaning The Original One)   if Barber Shoppe does that -also hope there's plenty of ponchos - may have to head for Mexico for that -but I can tell this will be crazy good (like the last game but improved big time)Arthur's looks proper masculine too just like me so look forward  to stepping in his boots as he don't look like a sissy like most male protagonists in modern  games


This game also  makes me wonder about ancestors  who did make it to the West- the Gilmours -the Murphys - bound to be some O'Hagan's  out there too -I'm glad there's a Mount Hagen in this game named after Ross who provided voice for Landon  Ricketts  I'm sure there were other offshoots but my Uncle Brian  when I was four or five bought me a Fort  for  Christmas  including figurines of  Paul  Revere -Davy Crockett  hat guys and War of Independence  era soldiers - I  miss him and Dad both died too young - but maybe that's why I like Fallout 4 so much as it deals with that period of history  (kind of)-  lots of history hidden from me - I've been watching show about earliest pioneers of America (Ray Mears How West was Won)  worth investigating   if you want to see how  North America  came to be what it is.-
Sometimes I wonder if you want the truth  you gotta look to the past- not the so called victors truth but the truth as it happened  or as  close as you can get to it - in my mind the truth wins out  it's the absolute rule of things so the people who think they're winning now  are nothing in the eyes of  the good minds of tomorrow -gotta end on a poignant note  been a rotten week but things will rock again once the trash is gone.-lets hope it's soon!...
 ooh b4 I forget -DD season 3 very soon :D
