Arcane Season 2 Trailer!
I didn’t know this was coming today, but heck yeah, it’s here! The first full trailer for Arcane season 2! The hit show that took everybody by storm a few years ago is coming back for more! And it looks great!
Look, simple as this: Arcane season 1 was amazing. And there’s every indication that season 2 will be just as good, if not better. So I’m getting everybody’s hopes up! Live the hype! Love the hype! Watch and enjoy!
Arcane season 2 is coming to Netflix in November.

Who Knows if Star Wars Outlaws is Going to Be Any Good Or Not?
Star Wars Outlaws is probably the biggest game I’m looking forward to this year. It’s just not a big year for my gaming interests. But who knows if Star Wars Outlaws is going to be any good or not. It’s a new type of game for Star Wars, but it’s made by Ubisoft, who know how to make this kind of game. I don’t hate Ubisoft the way some people online do, so I have high hopes.
Anyway, Ubisoft held a game reveal day yesterday and here are some videos with Outlaws gameplay and details.
I watch those trailers and I still don’t know what to expect from this game. It doesn’t seem to have the freedom of movement of an Assassin’s Creed game. But we’ve got some reputation building aspects. There are spaceships and a speeder. Hopefully a good story. I like the main character.
I guess I just don’t know. As interested as I am in playing this game, I will likely still wait for reviews to see what other people think before I dive in. I’m trying to spend as little money as possible on video games this year. Plus, it’s a Ubisoft game that comes out on Aug. 30. By Thanksgiving it will be 50% off.
What does everybody else think of this game?

There Better Damn Well be a LEGO Thunderjaw After This
Summer Gamefest went down on Friday and we got a bunch of trailers for new video games. I might share the ones I really liked over the coming days, but one trailer stood out for one very particular and important reason.
And that reasons is that I want a LEGO Thunderjaw from the Horizon: Zero Dawn game series.
They’re making a LEGO Horizon game! LEGO Horizon Adventures is going to take Aloy, her allies and her enemies and put them into a LEGO version of their world for normal LEGO gameplay. That’s awesome. That’s great. But that also means someone somewhere has gone to the trouble of virtually building all of Horizon’s robotic dinosaurs out of LEGO.
So surely this means these virtual designs can be transferred over to actual, physical brick designs, right?!
We’ve already got the LEGO Tallneck. It’s a thing of true beauty. I bought it the first day it came out and loved building it. But that’s the only LEGO set we’ve gotten from the Horizons series so far, despite all of those beautiful robo dinosaurs. But this new game has a LEGO Thunderjaw prominently in the trailer. So LEGO better damn well make us a LEGO Thunderjaw set!
Shut up and take my money!

Here’s That Ninja Turtles Trailer I Was Waiting For
On Friday, we got a trailer for the upcoming Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon. I was hoping to post it on Friday, but it didn’t come out until the evening and I was already busy with other stuff by then. So here it is now!
I enjoy how well they’ve captured the look and feel of Mutant Mayhem. I don’t like that it’s only going to be like 12 episodes. Everything is of so few episodes these days. And it’s weird that the focus is on splitting up the turtles, like that’s a selling point. Just weird.
Anyway, could be a fun cartoon, and it comes to Paramount+ on Aug. 9.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/8/24
We’re back with more comic book reviews! I do apologize that these will be more haphazard from me going forward. Sometimes there just aren’t any comics coming out that I really have an opinion on. And sometimes I can be pretty lazy. But this week saw some solid releases, like Batman and The Ultimates.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Scarlett #1 for a clean, enjoyable new chapter in the ongoing Energon Universe.
Meanwhile, I beat God of War: Ragnarok and it was an excellent game! Just as big and fun as the first. I’ve burned through a couple of TV shows. I enjoyed Mr. and Mrs. Smith, didn’t care for the first two episodes of The Acolyte and absolutely adored Hazbin Hotel. That show lives up to all its hype! This weekend is the third and final season of Sweet Tooth, so hopefully that’s fun.
This week also saw the final issue of the Krakoa Era for X-Men, but I checked out awhile ago, so it won’t be reviewed this week. Bring on From the Ashes!
Comic Reviews: Batman #148, The Boy Wonder #2, Scarlett #1 and The Ultimates #1.
