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.

Remember Live Action Powerpuff Girls Reboot? Now You Do!
Once upon a time, The CW wanted to make a live action Powerpuff Girls. They casted a bunch of actual people, filmed some episodes or scenes, and then shelved everything, never to ever been seen. Until now!
Behold madness.
So as expected, YouTube took down the video. But you can watch it on Reddit.
I think it looks…terrible. Insane. Maybe good? This could have been the craziest thing on television. It looks like a bad College Humor sketch, but in a good way. I kind of love it. Anyway, enjoy it while it exists to watch.

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!

More Doctor Who is Coming
Like a lot of other good TV, the next season of Doctor Who is right around the corner. It’s so close, we’ve got a trailer for the Doctor’s latest adventures, and new companion!
Looks fun to me! I very much enjoyed Ncuti Gatwa’s first season as the Doctor and I’m definitely looking forward to more. The gossip sites keep ragging about him leaving early or the show getting cancelled, but I think both are overblown and not likely to happen. Doctor Who is good TV, and I like the bigger budget that Disney+ can provide. I’m also looking forward to the new companion, played by Varada Sethu.
It all looks great to me! More Doctor Who is on the way April 12.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 3/1/25
If you’re reading this when it gets posted, I am on the road heading to pick up the physical copies of Gamer Girl & Vixen Vol. 2! My new comic! I can’t wait to see how it turned out.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Wonder Woman #5 for some truly awesome storytelling and creative moments.
Meanwhile, I was busy buying a new car last weekend, so I missed a lot of comics that came out last week. My bad. And while I had the time to read more comics this week, most of what I read was just really good and enjoyable, and I didn’t have a lot of thoughts about them. Then the days just got away from me. So sorry for the lack of more reviews…
I’m still playing Dragon Age: Veilguard, though I hope to beat it in time to pick up Kingdom Come: Deliverance II ahead of my upcoming week vacation. And I finally watched Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man this past week and it was excellent! A very well-made Spider-Man cartoon, with a great use of a wider Marvel Universe and Spidey’s whole world. Loved it!
