Star Wars: Battlefront 2 Leia Full Nude Mod

Editor

Star Wars Battlefront 2 has a thriving modding community that continually creates new and sometimes controversial content. One such mod is the Leia Full Nude Mod, which replaces Leia Organa’s in-game model with an explicit version that leaves little to the imagination. This mod is intended for adult audiences and comes with several considerations and potential risks that users should be aware of before downloading. What is the Leia Full Nude Mod?

Star Wars: Battlefront 2’s The Rise of Skywalker Drops Next Month

Editor

Getting a little bored with Star Wars: Battlefront 2 and need a reason to keep playing or take another look at it? Well, December may very well be your best chance to do so. The entire month has been dubbed a “celebration month” by EA DICE and it all kicks off with the addition of The Rise of Skywalker content for SWBF2. The developers have been tight-lipped when it comes to what to actually expect from the Skywalker update, unfortunately. It’s probably safe to assume, however, that we will see the addition of some new maps and possibly a new character or two. This new content update is, of course, due out just before the theatrical release of the new movie – Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. The movie will hit theaters on December 20th and is a continuation of the latest series of Star Wars films beginning with…

Star Wars Battlefront Franchise Sales Exceed 33 Million Copies

Editor

Despite going through a rough period of consumer upset over including microtransactions (loot boxes, to be specific), Electronic Arts’ Star Wars: Battlefront franchise has performed quite well. On a quarterly earnings call, EA announced that the combined sales of Star Wars Battlefront and its sequel are now over 33 million. The first Battlefront title, released in late 2015 and developed by DICE was a reboot of the shooter series released on PC, Mac, PlayStation 2, and Xbox. The sequel, Star Wars: Battlefront 2, which came out in November of 2017, released with a campaign mode in addition to multiplayer gameplay. Numerous DLC expansions were released for both titles as well as regular updates to each game. This has been noted as a primary reason that both SWBF and SWBF2 have kept their fan base alive and well. DLC packs released for Star Wars: Battlefront include: Post-launch content for Battlefront 2…

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Developer Interview Digs Into Decision of Going the Single-Player Route

Editor

A single-player, narrative-based Star Wars title has been a rarity in the gaming industry for the better part of 10 years now. The last true story-drive game within the franchise prior to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II which made its debut in 2008. The announcement of a new single-player title in the Star Wars universe was a surprise on its own. Combine that with the fact that it’s being published by none other than EA and you’d probably think the news were a farce had we not gotten a concrete launch date, trailers, and more at this point. Electronic Arts isn’t exactly known for having a great public image with gamers these days. Plus, they’re notorious for putting out nothing but multiplayer titles riddled with microtransactions (up until Battlefront 2, at least). So, what made EA of all publishers decide to take up…

5 Things You Should Do After Getting Denied with Your SSD Claim

Soeren Kamper

One of the benefits you receive from the taxes deducted every time you receive your paycheck is your Social Security benefits. Among the most important aids you can receive from the Social Security Administration (SSA) is the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or simply the disability insurance. For millions of Americans suffering from disability, filing for disability insurance is a valuable means of getting by. However, disability benefits are awarded based on the degree of need. This means that some claims will be denied upon your initial application.  The good thing is that the initial denial isn’t final – there are still ways for you to fight for a claim to valuable benefit. Request for reconsideration When your SSDI application gets denied by the SSA, the agency sends you a document explaining the reasons for the denial of your application. If you disagree with the decision, the first thing you…

5 Fun Board Game Apps to Kill Time When You’re Not Playing Star Wars

Onisac Gnitteb

Not too long ago, we went through a stage when it seemed as if board games were gone for good. The almighty console offered a vastly superior gaming experience, while there were plenty of great PC and mobile games as well. Ironically, technology became more capable and we’re now in an era where digital board games are all the rage. Perhaps people realized that digital alternatives to their favorite board games of the past have a multitude of benefits. They’re much cheaper, you don’t have to spend hours cleaning up and organizing all the pieces, and you can bring everything along with you in a single slab of glass in your pocket. You can also play against opponents around the world.

Star Wars: Battlefront 2 – A look ahead at what’s coming in 2019

Soeren Kamper

The guys over at Dice is keeping them self bussy. Here is a look of what is comming in Star Wars: Battelfront 2 the rest of the year. Let’s dive in, but before that… AUGUST August kicks off with both the Separatist Dreadnought and Republic Venator becoming playable in Heroes vs Villains. Since the release of Capital Supremacy this addition has been highly requested, and we’re incredibly happy to be adding them to our rotation. We’ve taken areas within both capital ships and turned them into playable locations that we believe will be great for the small-scale Hero gameplay. After watching discussions around Capital Supremacy and, in particular, the Capital Ship phase. We’ve made some changes to the interiors of both Capital Ships. The assault on the Capital Ship will continue to have two sub-phases, but both are evolving. Once you’re breached the enemy ship, you have five minutes to…

Lego Star Wars: Rise of TT Games

Lisa Clark

We’ve been talking about this new Lego Star Wars game and I’ve gotta tell ya, I am excited about it! Traveler’s Tales has been bringing us great Lego games for a very long time now. In fact, they’ve been putting out at least one per year for more than 15 years now. Some of those years, the UK developer put out as many as three Elgo games. They’ve made games on all your favorite famous IPs and franchises and it has been a long, glorious ride. While Lego has made their presence in video games before this, but it was the release of 2005 Lego Star Wars: The Video Game that really launched the Lego game fad. In the time that has passed since that first game, they’ve sold of 200 million copies of Lego games and over $2 Billion in revenue. TT Games will see itself come full circle…

Star Wars’ History with the Casino Culture

Onisac Gnitteb

Most Star Wars fans are not strangers to the idea that there is a casino culture in the Star Wars Universe. No matter how much they try to Disney-fy it, there are some gritty elements to Star Wars and that was part of what made it so good. This doesn’t mean it can’t still be family friendly.   We saw gambling mentioned in the original Star Wars films in a variety of ways and it didn’t have any negative consequences for the genre of the fans of it, as far as anyone can tell. It’s been a part of Star Wars canon all along, even if Disney wants to try to blur it out.  This said, it’s not a surprise that there will be some crossover in people who like Star Wars and people who enjoy gambling and the casinos. There used to be some great fantasy-themed online slots based on…

Characters I’d Like to See Introduced or Brought Back in Onslaught

Editor

The SWtOR community has been buzzing recently about the new details regarding the “play what you want, how you want” gearing system that is Spoils of War. While I, too, have been caught up in the whirlpool of hype (and confusion), I am choosing to wait until we actually get to see this new stuff in-action on the PTS before I offer my thoughts on it here.Instead today I’m turning my attention to something I care about far more than gear, and that’s the in-game story characters. I’ve been thinking a great deal about who I’d like to see, either brought back or introduced for the first time, on Onderon and Mek-Sha and I just thought “hey, why not make a post about it?”Obviously, some characters are a given. Darths Krovos and Malgus, Empress Acina, General Daeruun, Jonas Balkar, Major Anri, Moff Pyron, NR-O2, Tau Idair, and Vowrawn are all definitely going…

Grand Arena Championships are a five-week series of Grand Arena events and Feats. Our goal is for the experience to feel like a normal Grand Arena event with a few bells and whistles, and then gradually ratchet up the competition and drive for the players who make it up to higher leagues in later events, until by the end of a Championship, it feels like the sharpest competition that the game has to offer.

Firefox vs DuckDuckGo vs TOR: Which Is the Best Browser for Privacy

Soeren Kamper

Whether you realize it or not, your online security is almost always at risk and this is constantly increasing. Government surveillance, marketing data collection, and scammers all pose a threat, so it’s no wonder the online privacy industry is worth $12 billion! Securing your browser is one of the easiest ways to protect yourself from those who try to view or steal your sensitive information. We’ve had a look at three popular browsers – Firefox, Tor, and DuckDuckGo – and have put them to the test to determine which is the best browser for privacy. TOR TOR (The Onion Router) was developed by US Navy researchers for anonymous communication. Tor is now a not-for-profit organization with a goal of researching online privacy and developing tools to support this. Pros TOR uses a three-layered encryption process.

Gambling and Betting in Star Wars

Soeren Kamper

Gambling is not new to the Star Wars universe. There are several places where we see gambling and betting throughout the franchise. It’s something that we’ve written about here before, but it’s also something we likely won’t see as long as Disney holds the rights to new Star Wars content. While gambling may not be in the spirit of their “family friendly” ideal, it IS and always has been a part of Star Wars. The original movies were intended to be family-friendly, but we still see the casinos for short periods in them. My guess is that a) standards have changed a bit since the original movies came out and b) Disney’s idea of “family friendly” may be a bit more G-rated than others. At any rate, there is gambling and betting in Star Wars and we see the Gilded Descent Casino in the first novel, for example. It was…

What Star Wars Battlefront Needs for a Great eSports Scene

What Star Wars: Battlefront Needs for a Great eSports Scene

Soeren Kamper

Ten years on from the superb Star Wars: Battlefront II from Pandemic Studios and LucasArts in 2005, and following many rumours about a third edition to the Battlefront series, EA DICE and Electronic Arts released the much-hyped Star Wars: Battlefront in 2015. With stunning graphics and the chance to play as iconic characters and classes from the epic film franchise, people were over the moon with the chance to finally play another triple-A Star Wars game. Lacking in depth, but coming with a rather grubby DLC line-up, fans had high hopes that the sequel, Star Wars: Battlefront II in 2017 would improve on the first of the reboot games. Sadly, mired in controversy of bad publishing practices, Battlefront II was an utter disappointment. EA DICE have tried to earn back community support with a stream of updates that continue to this day, but instead, much of the community has reverted…
