Let Us Start the Week with a 10-Minute Trailer for Death Stranding 2

I keep forgetting that Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is coming out this year. There are so many new games that should be pretty awesome this year, and I have so little money. But Death Stranding 2 should be a hoot and a half!

Behold 10 minutes of pure nonsense!

I don’t remember anything about the story of Sam Porter, the baby and whatever else was going on in the first game. I just know that I loved the gameplay! I loved the walking and making deliveries. I loved finding paths. I loved gathering resources to build roads so that I could make my deliveries easier. And based on that trailer, I definitely see walking, roads and vehicles! So I am fully on board for this new game and can’t wait to play!

Death Stranding 2 is coming to the Playstation on June 26.

More Tony Hawk Nostalgia in These Trying Times

We got the announcement trailer yesterday that they’re revamping Tony Hawk: Pro Skater 3 & 4, like they did with 1 & 2 a few years ago. I’m excited. I was a fiend on all those Tony Hawk games back on the original Playstation, and playing the 1 & 2 revamp a few years ago was liking stepping through a time portal. I actively hurt my thumb using the D-pad so much, just to get back into that old school mindset.

So I’m fully on board with a revamped 3 & 4, even though my memory of them isn’t as strong.

I remember the airport, but I can’t say I remember any other levels or details about Tony Hawk: Pro Skater 3 or 4. Was 4 the one that became more GTA-esque? Where you could walk around the city? I eventually fell off the games, but don’t remember when.

Still, I’ll very much enjoy playing these again when Tony Hawk: Pro Skater 3 & 4 comes out on July 11. This is a great year for video games!

Frank Reynolds in Stuff is Always Funny

Comedy is subjective. But one thing that definitely makes me laugh is when YouTubers insert Danny DeVito’s Frank Reynolds character into stuff where he doesn’t belong. The latest video by eli_handle_b.wav inserts Frank into Cyberpunk 2077. I just think it’s funny!

I’ve posted about this before, with Frank inserted in the likes of Baldur’s Gate 3 or The Last of Us, and like I said, it’s always funny. And we could all use a bit of dumb funny nowadays, amiright? Anyway, watch and laugh. I know I did.

An Animated Sonic the Hedgehog

Tell It Animated is back with Sonic the Hedgehog! What a nice way to start this Monday, which is gonna be a very interesting Monday for me. And it’s nice to have a simple animated video to share at the start of the day.

Good old Sonic. Always up for some fun and silliness. He’s had a lot of good designs, and a lot of crummy designs. And now they’re all animated. I dunno. I got nothing in me this morning. Just wanted to post something and get to work for a busy day! So enjoy!

And, as always, Tell It Animated should do a video on Robin!

There’s Gonna be More Twisted Metal!

I write this to you in the middle of a snowstorm, which is coming already on top of the worst winter the northeast has had in some years. So yeah, jeez. And through all of this storm, I’ve still got to buy a new car. Life is fine.

But at least we’ve got a trailer for a second season of Twisted Metal! And starring the man of the hour, Anthony Mackie!

I very much enjoyed the first season of Twisted Metal. It was a fun, silly show that had great action and took itself the right balance of silly and serious. And season two looks like it’ll be even more fun!

Also, we are not getting more Twisted Metal the game, if that’s what you thought my headline meant…sorry.

Also also, I really liked Mackie in the new Captain America film! I may or may not have a review up this week, depending on how this snowstorm goes.

Twisted Metal will return to Peacock this summer.
