I found it all very ominous.<\/p>\n<p>One of my favorite things when I unlock a trophy is when the system actually records a *good* screenshot of the moment I unlock and am rewarded said trophy. I find the timing on this to often be quite hit or miss, no pun intended; but this time\u00a0it worked out beautifully and I&#8217;m happy to share the moment with you all.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_320\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/episodeix.foxdrum.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/StarWarsBattlefrontII_20180417-IronicHanSolo-wm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-320\" class=\"wp-image-320 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/episodeix.foxdrum.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/StarWarsBattlefrontII_20180417-IronicHanSolo-wm-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Han Solo takes an ironic shot and gets a trophy for it.\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.episodeix.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/StarWarsBattlefrontII_20180417-IronicHanSolo-wm-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.episodeix.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/StarWarsBattlefrontII_20180417-IronicHanSolo-wm-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.episodeix.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/StarWarsBattlefrontII_20180417-IronicHanSolo-wm-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.episodeix.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/StarWarsBattlefrontII_20180417-IronicHanSolo-wm.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-320\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Han Solo takes an ironic shot and gets a trophy for it.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>That&#8217;s two\u00a0<em><strong>I<\/strong><\/em> owed <strong><em>you<\/em><\/strong>, junior.
