The Mandalorian has dropped a new trailer and it’s wild. The opening scene depicts a universe where Stormtroopers are being put into the ground. Helmets displayed on pikes, or maybe there are heads in there? Whoa. Whatever the case, the new trailer shows a lot, but still tells us little.

But the wild ride of rampant commercialization is far from coming to a close anytime soon....

Unlock character customization. Kirito serves as the lead protagonist of the Sword Art Online series, so it comes to no surprise that he is also the lead in Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris. This means that there is no sort of character creation or anything at the beginning of the game. Instead, the character customization actually comes much later in the game, which is a bit odd. That is why we decided to put together a guide to explain just how you could create a character in Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris....

These games pit one player against another in a series of matches where they will have to analyze their opponent’s fighting style and habits as they play.

To prevent this, fighting game players almost always prefer a wired controller and there is no better-wired controller for fighting games than a fight stick....
