Use DuckDuckGo To Search For Your Favorite Content Creators

Through research and experience it has come to my attention that not all search engines are created equal, that not all give you unlimited access to the information you seek. Google, and even Brave's browser actively censor site listings over political wrong think. They completely delist sites, and bury sites so far down and out of view that none would believe they even exist. Having tested alternatives DuckDuckGo seems to be one of the only search engines that does not show such bias, nor hides sites from view. If you type in "OtakuDante", for example, you'll find everything associated with me including site and review links.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 (PS5) | REVIEW | Sticks the Landing, but Not Without It's Fails & Bails

The original Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 (2001) and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4 (2002) were pivotal entries in the iconic skateboarding series, defining the genre with their tight controls, memorable levels, and genre-shaping soundtracks. THPS 3 introduced the revert, enabling longer combos, and featured beloved levels like Foundry and Suburbia, while THPS 4 experimented with a mission-based, free-roam structure that laid the groundwork for later titles like Underground.

The 2025 remake, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 for the PS5, developed by Iron Galaxy Studios, faithfully recreates THPS 3 with modern polish but significantly alters THPS 4 by reverting it to the series’ classic two-minute timer format, streamlining its open-world elements. While the package retains the core magic of the originals, some changes, particularly to THPS 4 and the soundtrack, prevent it from being a flawless nostalgia trip.
