Friday 4-13-18: Call of Juarez, Spy Party, and Star Wars Ewoks

News in the morning?? What?! I’ll explain that below, for now: the news.

  • Ubisoft Responds to Call of Juarez Delisting
  • Spy Party Launch
  • Play as Ewoks in Star Wars

Delisting of Juarez


A while back, I was told about Call of Juarez: Gunslinger disappearing from Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation marketplaces. I emailed the PR director at Ubisoft for more information, and they’ve finally gotten back to me. The game’s licensing has ended and it has been given back to Techland. Temporary delistings due to license shifting are common, so we can expect it to come back online shortly enough. I’ve contacted Techland for more information.

Spy Party


What is Spy Party? It’s an asynchronous multiplayer game where one player is a spy at a ritzy party, trying to perform a particular list of actions, while the other is a sniper wanting to identify the spy and kill them. I watched a Twitch stream of the game, and it looks like a good time with a friend. Well, the game has now formally launched, after eight years in development. Congrats to developers Chris Hecker and John Cimino. More information can be found on their website.

Ewok Hunt


Setting aside the absolute mess that was the Star Wars Battlefront 2 launch, the game is still being worked on and updated. The most recent update introduces Ewok Hunt, a new game mode that has players fighting each other as either Imperial Stormtroopers or as Ewoks on the forest moon of Endor. It’s a traditional invading/defending mode and will be available on April 18.


So why the morning. I’ve been experimenting with my schedule lately, and I’m trying to find what works better. I still have a day job at a warehouse, and more times than not, I’m left exhausted by it. This makes it hard to complete my evening responsibilities. I initially did news in the evening so that I can report on the happenings of that day, but I would often forget to do the news, due to fatigue. Today, and perhaps next week, I’m going to try posting the daily news post in the late mornings (10am~11am). We’ll see how it goes, it may become the new norm.

Stay tuned! I have a special announcement to make on Monday, it’s a big project, and I look forward to its launch.

Check back Monday for a weekend wrap up. Otherwise, have a great day!
