Star Wars Detours, a comedic show produced by Lucasfilm Animation in partnership with Robot Chicken’s Seth Green and Matthew Senreich, has long been the stuff of legend in the Star Wars fandom, with 39 episodes produced in 2013–and not a single one ever released to the public. Now, a full 6-minute episode titled “Dog Day Afternoon” has leaked online.

The series was announced at Star Wars Celebration in 2012 but was later put on hold, likely as the satirical comedy show was not considered the best way to re-introduce fans to Star Wars after seven years without a new film. The show is set in the period of time between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, but in the same vein as Robot Chicken’s Star Wars specials, it doesn’t take its subject matter all too seriously.

The leaked episode focuses on droids 4-LOM and Zuckuss holding up Dex’s Diner in their quest to become bounty hunters. With the infamous diner, its robot waitress, and a heaping of Jar Jar slapstick comedy, it pokes fun at some of the most complained-about parts of the prequel trilogy, while mixing in both minor and major characters from the original trilogy.

CD Projekt Red has cleared up some confusion about the upcoming multiplayer game set in the Cyberpunk 2077 universe. Executive Adam Kicinski said during the company’s latest earnings briefing that it’s not right to call it just a “mode” for Cyberpunk 2077.

Instead, it should be thought of as a standalone product. “So, first, we don’t call it modes,” Kicinski said (transcription via Seeking Alpha). “It’s a separate dedicated production, a big production. We think about it as a standalone product.”

The Cyberpunk 2077 multiplayer game is connected to the single-player game, but CD Projekt Red sees it as an “independent production” with a team working on it that’s separate from the team building the single-player game.

This HP Cyber Monday deal is one of the best gaming PC deals we’ve seen (and will see) for all of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The HP OMEN 30L comes equipped with an unlocked 10th generation Intel Core i5-10600K 6-core processor and… drum roll please… an RTX 3070 video card. The RTX 3070 video runs on par with the previous generation RTX 2080 TI in gaming. You’ll be hard pressed to build your own rig with the same specs for the same price, especially with the current RTX 3070 availability. It’s almost impossible to score one and will remain so until 2021. The ship time for this PC is mid to late December, but at the very least you’ve locked in your order.

Defeating an enemy in a Souls game can be extremely satisfying, and with the Demon’s Souls remake debuting as a PlayStation 5 launch title, many early adopters are discovering the joys of slaying its titular demons. The PS5 records a video when you earn a trophy, and one player made a fun discovery as he defeated the Tower Knight–that video can include your mic audio.

Reddit user helloiamjack posted a video of his successful defeat of the Demon’s Souls boss to the PS5 subreddit, and amusingly, it features some audio of his victory celebration. He’s a “first time” Souls player, and he’s understandably excited about defeating the giant enemy.

You can watch the video below–just make sure you turn your volume up for the best results.
