Alright, hear me out on why... Howard the Duck deserves a full-on comeback, and not just in some blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo in Guardians of the Galaxy or a What If...? episode. No, I’m talking about a full-blown, mind-bending, noir-style detective series where Howard isn’t just a punchline... he’s the feathered Sherlock Holmes we never knew we needed.

Now, I get it. Some of you might only know Howard from that infamously weird 1986 movie (yeah… that one), but trust me... he has some serious potential. Imagine a gritty, yet hilarious detective show where Howard navigates the bizarre corners of the Marvel Universe, solving crimes too weird for even Doctor Strange to bother with. It can either be live action or CGI. Give it some True Detective energy, but with talking ducks, interdimensional conspiracies, and the kind of sharp, sarcastic humor that keeps you hooked. It's different enough to not feel like a carbon copy of another series'.

 Here’s why this could work: 

For the mystery lovers – If you’re into detective stories that actually make you think (Sherlock, Knives Out, Cased Closed, The Batman), a well-written Howard series could deliver those same who-done-it thrills with a Marvel twist. If cases cover multiple episodes, with a massive case for each season... it would keep us hungry for more. It doesn't have to be along running series until it ceases to make sense, unless they're able to make it make sense. I believe it's possible to keep the party going, but it makes more sense to wrap it up before it loses steam.

For the comedy fans – Howard’s humor is dry, sarcastic, and perfectly self-aware. A show that leans into the absurdity of a talking duck detective without making it ridiculous could be comedy gold, but... they have avoid the risk of lame from creeping in. This would really increase the interests of the show, especially with a solid hosts of writers and cast members that can set it off.

For the Marvel diehards – He’s already been teased in the MCU. Imagine the crazy Marvel characters he could cross paths with... maybe even running into Blade, Moon Knight or Jessica Jones on a case? He can go anywhere, let someone else be his cameo for a change.

For anyone who loves something different – We’ve had superheroes, time travel, and multiverses... why not a noir-style, intergalactic detective story starring a cynical duck with a knack for solving the impossible? He can take cases throughout the galaxy and beyond, but... he can return home after cases to keep things grounded.

It’s time for Marvel to stop... ducking around and give Howard his moment. This isn’t just nostalgia bait... it could be a coool opportunity to bring something fresh, clever, and genuinely unique into the MCU lineup on Disney+. Whether you’re a longtime Howard fan or just looking for something different from the usual superhero formula, this is a series that could quack—I mean, crack—the case wide open.

Date nights are essential in any relationship. While traditional outings like dinner and a movie have their charm... for sure, why not add a twist and embrace the vibrant world of video game arcades? Here are some unexpected benefits that couples can enjoy by including an arcade visit to the mix to level up their date nights:

 Rekindle Childhood Joys 

Stepping into an arcade can transport you back to simpler times, tapping into the pure joy and excitement of childhood. Sharing this nostalgic experience with your partner can create a unique bond, reminding you both of the fun and carefree moments that first brought you together. I know there is always someone in the room who will say that they've never been too an arcade or they've never played a game, but... there's nothing wrong with going out to enjoy quality time by way of a new experience!

 Friendly Competition 

A little friendly competition can be incredibly invigorating for a relationship as well. Whether you're battling it out in... air hockey, playing pool, arcade basketball, racing against each other in a driving game, or teaming up to conquer a co-op mission, the playful rivalry adds a dynamic layer to your interaction, that may foster a... deeper connection.

 Stress Relief 

Life's daily stresses can take a toll on even the strongest relationships at times. Arcades offer a fantastic (or... funtastic) way to blow off steam and unwind. The vibrant atmosphere, coupled with the physical and mental engagement of the games, provide a nice escape. Sometimes that's all you need to take the edge off, along with some serious laughter. If you're going out to have fun... (actually) have fun!

 Communication and Teamwork 

Multiplayer arcade games increase their difficulty with every person who joins the action, requiring teamwork to succeed. Adding communication increases the chances getting further as well. Working together to solve puzzles, defeat virtual enemies, or achieve high scores can strengthen your partnership skills. It’s a fun and engaging way to improve your collaboration and understanding of each other... in some form by identify how you approach problems and solutions together in a fun way.

 Spontaneity and Adventure 

Arcades bring an element of spontaneity and adventure to date night. The diverse range of games and activities ensures that there's something for everyone, making each visit a new and exciting experience. This sense of unpredictability can keep your relationship fresh and exciting. Maybe the winner chooses where you go for dinner or dessert! Winner winner... steak for dinner?

 Physical Activity 

While not all arcade games are physically demanding, many do require movement and coordination. Dance games, interactive sports like arcade basketball, and virtual reality experiences can get you both moving and having a blast. It's a fun way to get active together without the formality of a gym. Nothing too crazy though... especially if the night is still young.

 Affordable Fun 

Compared to some traditional date options, arcade visits are often more budget-friendly. This means you can enjoy a fantastic night out without breaking the bank. Plus, the emphasis on experiences rather than material things can lead to more meaningful memories. Which is why some of us loved gaming in the arcades and with others via couch co-op.

Here are some places worth considering in Orlando, Florida if you want to add some arcade fun to your date night if want a break from the parks:

Dezerland Park Orlando

Andretti Indoor Karting & Games

Top Golf also has an arcade, but... our focus is launching balls into space! By the way, they have a new limited-time Block Party game based on Marvel Studio's Captain America: Brave New World. It gives you multiple areas to score as your balls move from tile to tile. See: Topgolf deals to save!

I didn't forget about you, consider checking out some of your local video game arcades! Wouldn't hurt to incorporate a visit into your date nights every now and then based on the fun and other benefits. Plus you may come across other fun loving couples as well. Game on!

The latest DLC for DRAGON BALL Z: KAKAROT, titled "DAIMA - Adventure Through The Demon Realm PACK," is a vibrant and fun addition to the game. Priced at over $30, the adventures in this DLC are based on the Dragon Ball DAIMA anime available on Netflix. If you have Netflix, it's definitely worth checking out. However, if you want to experience the story for the first time through gaming, this is your best bet. The adaptations are getting better and better aren't they? Bandai Namco can easily pop their collar in this anime-to-video game category.

In Dragon Ball DAIMA, Goku (Mini) and his friends embark on a rescue mission into the demon realm. During their adventure, they also work to regain their strength and return to their adult forms. Whether they should be thanking Dabura for hitting rewind on their age is debatable, but I digress.

The storyline for the DAIMA: Adventure is set between the events of Dragon Ball Z and the start of Dragon Ball Super, providing a unique narrative experience for fans.

"Immerse yourself in the Demon Realm! Experience the world of Dragon Ball DAIMA through the eyes of Goku (Mini). Walk through the intricate landscapes of the Demon World, meet new friends, fight new enemies, and discover new mysteries." - Bandai Namco Entertainment

The DAIMA: Adventure Through The Demon Realm Pack includes the following content:

• DAIMA: Adventure Through the Demon Realm Part 1 (July-Sep 2025)

• DAIMA: Adventure Through the Demon Realm Part 2 (Jan-Mar 2026)

• DAIMA: Adventure Through the Demon Realm Pack Bonus Items: Ultimate Meat Feast, Mega Sacred Water, Purple Dino Horn, and Awakening Water

This DLC offers a full-blown adventure that differs from the main Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot game. So, if you're a fan of the anime or a newcomer, strap in for some fun in the Demon Realm. Keep in mind that not all DLC are created equal—they vary by type and ofcourse pricing. Developers that serve up high priced fluff have another opportunity to take notes. (Yeah, I said it!)

There can be an argument that the experience is split into two parts forcing you to come back at later time to experience the full adventure, but... we'll see how this pays off. If you're a fan of TWD game franchise, then you're no stranger to this. Follow me into the business developer's realm for a second. While you can't just take it all in at once (mind out of the gutter), it could be a tactic for extended engagement thanks to a potential marketing strategy, and... it allows for the dev team to be able deliver the quality content we desire because the time is there to do so.

* You will need DBZ: Kakarot on Console or PC to play the DLC!

To the Devs: This could result in some gamer's waiting until its available in full.

Anyway, if you're a fan of Dragon Ball DAIMA, power up and... game on!

Redemption Reapers is a dark fantasy game set in a medieval world. Immerse yourself in the tale of the desperate struggle between the Ashen Hawk Brigade and the terrifying Mort legions. (Oooo sounds scary).

Wield your small resistence to defeat the enemy masses by bringing together what the dev team calls a rich variety of character builds and meticulous strategy. So rise up to overcome the odds and achieve victory in this turn-based RPG. (Rated T for Teen).

Personally, I feel like it would've been better received as a top down... hack'n'slash video game with the various characters, because when it's too slow of a pace, people begin to pick apart the character development. This is just me thinking of how the game could've been better. The pace of the game picks up closer to the midway point, but a strong start gets the party started right. Right? So that's definitely something for the dev team, and other developers to keep in mind.

Anyway, I do recommend starting this game out on easy if you aren't as experience with these types of games, because Redemption Reapears will send you back to the drawing board if you don't approach with the right strategy.

Grab... Redemption Reapers while its free and don't forget to game on!
