Gylee Games’ new original game, Ra BOOM, aims to deliver a gut punch and not be just another mindless button-mashing beat ’em up experience.

We are genuinely in a beat ’em up game renaissance, with games like TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge, Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons, the forthcoming Double Dragon Revive, Streets of Rage 4, and others restoring the feeling of the classic video game genre that used to gobble up all the quarters in arcades.

With Ra Ra BOOM, Gylee Games hopes to keep that momentum going. In essence, the game is a classic beat ’em game in which playable characters take out hordes of villains and eventually the big boss. Still, once you pick up the sticks and press start, you will see the game studio is hoping to deliver a much deeper experience.

Ra Ra BOOM’s Story

In the vibrant, fast-paced game, players can choose from five playable ninja cheerleaders, a combination we are sure you never thought of. They aren’t your typical cheerleaders; they have been trained to take on a rogue AI that has forced humans to leave Earth, but find themselves back on the planet, and must punch, kick, and shoot through hordes of angry robots and other foes and fight as a squad to save humanity.

Each character is fully upgradable, has unique hand-to-hand abilities, and wields a firearm to allow players to fight from a distance. To use your character’s special ability, you fill up a meter by landing hits on enemies; the power of the ability is determined by how full the meter is.

HHW Gaming got hands-on with the game at PAX East and experienced the two levels during a brief demo. Ra Ra BOOM has been on our radar since seeing it during Kinda Funny’s Game Showcase two years ago.

Why Ra Ra BOOM Uses Ninja Cheerleaders?

Speaking with the game’s creative director, Chris Bergman, our first question was why cheerleaders? His answer? Why not cheerleaders? 

“I wanted to create a 90s aesthetic. And, like, Saturday morning cartoons, fun and vibrant,” Bergman tells HHW Gaming. “Like what the f**k’s more vibrant than a cheerleader?”

He also notes that teens who still attend school while living off the planet were raised to fight AI-controlled robots but use cheerleading to build teamwork.

That makes all the sense in the world when you think about it.

Ra Ra BOOM Features A Deeper Narrative

What also sets this game apart from other beat ’em up games is that Bergman wanted his game to have a meaningful narrative, as he feels that’s where the video game genre traditionally falls short.

“Well, I don’t think beat ’em up games have good narratives,” Bergman said. “They’re really limited in what you can do. So part of it was a creative challenge of, like, can we introduce a real narrative into a new creative IP and a new game, and I fell in love with these characters so much. I wanted to make sure that that story was heard.”

In crafting the game’s story, Bergman also used his personal experience, his father-in-law’s passing, and the grief he experienced from a traumatic moment to enhance Ra Ra BOOM’s narrative experience further.

He also used writing the game’s story to help him cope with his father-in-law’s death, and hopes the story will do the same for players.

Ra Ra BOOM is due out this summer and will be available on PC via Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series consoles, and will most likely cost $19.99 when it releases. It will have DLC content sometime after its launch, ensuring players will keep running it back after they beat the game.

Stephen King may not be the big name on the film scene that he was in the ’80s and ’90s, but us older folks are familiar with the man’s game so best believe whenever his name is attached to a new project we’re all in on whatever it is.

On Wednesday (May 7), Lions Gate released the first trailer for their upcoming film adaptation of Stephen King’s 1979 novel, The Long Walk, and while it’s not a horror film per se it’s definitely a nerve-racking scary movie simply because it seems like something that could happen in Trump’s America (just sayin’). Centering a contest where participants are asked to simply walk as far as possible, things take a crazy turn as the rule states that anyone who walks below 3 miles per hour gets their ticket punched i.e. killed.

With soldiers accompanying them and shooting down contestants one by one, the group of walkers know that the last man standing isn’t just going to win the big prize (cash), but the prize of life itself. With men dropping off one by one due to health issues or simply trying to get out of the contest itself (bang, bang), The Long Walk seems like the kind of thriller that’ll have you hoping society never comes to such dystopian levels. With Cheeto Jesus in charge, it might though!

Check out the trailer for Stephen King’s The Long Walk below, and let us know if you’ll be checking it out when it hits theaters sometime this year.

In 2023, Reebok made some noise when they announced that NBA legends Shaquille O’Neal and Allen Iverson would be taking over their basketball division as president and vice president, and now we’ll get to see just how it went down thanks to a new Netflix series detailing the business decision of a few years ago.

In the new trailer for their upcoming series Power Moves, Shaquille O’Neal explains why he took on the role of president of Reebok’s basketball division saying they’ve been “out of the game” for a while and hopes to bring back the buzz the sneaker brand once had when O’Neal was tearing down backboard in the early ’90s. Accompanied by his vice president, Allen Iverson, the series goes into the everyday struggle that Shaq and A.I. go through to revive Reebok’s basketball popularity, including picking and choosing new silhouettes for the brand to produce and searching for up-and-coming talent to help promote the brand to a new generation of basketball fans.

Coming in at six episodes, Power Moves will be an interesting watch as viewers can get an idea of how the sneaker business works behind closed doors before we get to see the end product both on TV and on shelves.

We’re still waiting on Reebok to retro Jay-Z’s S. Carter kicks and 50 Cent’s G-Unit silhouettes. Just sayin’.

Check out the trailer for Power Moves below, and let us know if you’ll be checking it out when it premiers on Netflix on June 4.

Donald Trump continues to put on a masterclass in nominating people to positions in the United States government that they have no business being in.

On his mission to “Make America Healthy Again,” Donald Trump is enlisting the best quacks the country has to offer to solicit bad health advice to American people coming off a once-in-a-generation pandemic, and as diseases that were once considered 100% neutralized, like the measles, are on the comeback.

We already have vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in charge of HHS and TV doctor and Oprah’s biggest blunder, Dr. Mehmet OZ, as Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. To make matters worse, Trump has nominated “Dr” Casey Means to take on the role of Surgeon General.

What could go wrong?

Well, a lot.

According to MSNBC, Trump nominated Means after yanking Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, a Fox News contributor’s nomination, without explaining the move.

The website points to right-wing activist, radical conspiracy theorist, and one of Trump’s closest confidants, Laura Loomer, criticizing Nesheiwat, specifically being BIG MAD about her support for life-saving Covid vaccines.

Trump claims the Nesheiwat will work at HHS in “another capacity,” giving Means the lane to become the nation’s top doctor.

Casey Means Lack of Experience For The Job

The AP went ham in their description of Means and perfectly explained why she is not qualified for the position, calling her just a “wellness influencer. ” They noted that she dropped out of her surgical residency program and has no experience in public health administration, something very much needed for the Surgeon General job.

The same report also describes her as a snake oil salesman who makes a living selling “dietary supplements, creams, teas, and other products sponsored on her social media accounts.”

Bruh.

When asked why he chose someone with no experience to be the top doctor in the country, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that he said, “I don’t know her,” but only picked her because Kennedy “thought she was fantastic.”

REPORTER: You just announced a new nominee for US Surgeon General who never finished her residency, and is not a practicing physician. So can you explain why you picked her to be America's top doctor?

What a glowing recommendation. We are being sarcastic, of course.

Social Media Is Freaking Out About Casey Means & Pointing Out How Fringe She Is

Social media has been responding to the latest nomination, and as expected, folks are apprehensive about another fringe doctor pushing bullsh*t health alternatives while disregarding proven medical science.

“Trumps’s new surgeon general nominee is Casey Means withdrew from her medical residency at age 30. She thinks you can stay healthy by focusing on metabolic health?! And Laura Loomer got rid of the original nominee for being too pro-vaccine? We’re living in an SNL skit,” one user on X, formerly Twitter, wrote.
