Episode 11.7: Tribute to Chadwick Boseman, Gamescom 2020, and a Jetpack Man in LA?

Welcome back to another episode of the Online Warriors Podcast.

 

This week, we all received the unfortunate news of the passing of Chadwick Boseman. He brought inspiration to so many through his work, so we take a beat to discuss and pay tribute to his lasting legacy. (2:05)

 

For the remainder of the episode, we dig into some of the latest news in the nerd world:

• Gamescom 2020 brings us some fresh looks at games, new and old, and we discuss the titles that intrigued us the most (9:17)
• A man with a jetpack has been joyriding around LAX airspace (35:10)

The crew's been pretty busy, so let's check in with them and get hands on:

• Illeagle finishes Dark, picks up Burnout Paradise Remastered for the Switch, and embarks on a reread of Lord of the Rings (43:38)
• Techtic checks out the new Netflix original film, Project Power (46: 09)
• Nerdbomber binges Doom Patrol and heckin' raves about it (50:07)

Unfortunately, Fantasy Movie League as a whole is on hold due to current events that have results in movie delays and theater closures.

 

This week, we celebrate Beyoncé's birthday with some fun Bey-themed trivia (55:07)
