Street Fighter 5 may have had a very rocky launch back in 2016 due to it clearly being an unfinished product, lacking in any real content, but ever since then, the fighting game has become far more welcoming with a now rather solid cast of new and old characters for fans to pick up and play. But even with 34 fighters to choose from, there’s still some room for some new challengers to enter the ring, and Capcom seems to think so too as it has very recently begun the title’s Season 4 by releasing a returning favorite - Evil Ryu, or Kage, as he is now called....

Christopher Nolan’s Tenet was supposed to be the movie that saved moviegoing. The picture that would jumpstart an interest in returning to cinemas around the world, and enjoying the shared communal experience of watching films with strangers in the dark.
