You almost have to wonder if Masahiro Sakurai will ever run out of things to discuss with his “Creating Games” channel. After doing a very fun crossover series with the Retro Game Master, where they played various arcade titles from history, he returned to his “standard formula” of making videos about certain “game essences” and mechanics. In today’s video, he pulled back the curtain behind the legendary “Shoryuken” attack that was made famous by Street Fighter. What would he have to talk about with that attack? Well, a lot more than you think when you look at its history and how it’s evolved throughout the franchise.
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon showrunner breaks down episode 5's cameo

Warning! This article contains spoilers for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon episode 5. If you've yet to tune in and don't want to know what happens, turn back now.
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon episode 5 reunites Norman Reedus's titular survivor with a familiar face – but not in the way you might think.
Way back in April 2022, AMC stated that Melissa McBride, who plays Carol Peletier in the hit zombie franchise, would no longer be fronting the spin-off alongside Reedus, due to the fact that it was filming overseas. Showrunner David Zabel evidently found a way around this, however, as Daryl talks to Carol over a radio in the show's latest installment. (Though it's worth noting that the scene is essentially a flashback and he's in Maine at the time, not France).
"We were always excited with any ways that we could kiss up to the legacy show, to the franchise, and to the history of the characters," Zabel recently told Entertainment Weekly. "This was obviously a very exciting way, because it was the first time in our show where he had actual real-life literal contact with the world that he was stranded from, and with ostensibly a character who's as close to him as anybody. So it was an exciting way to send out a life raft, so to speak, and connect him to what everybody knows about his past in the United States."
Set some time after the events of The Walking Dead season 11, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon sees the character get washed up on a beach in Marseille – and quickly tasked by a nun to ferry Laurent (Louis Puech Scigliuzzi), a young French boy believed to be some sort of super empathetic messiah, to a secret location in Northern France. Teaming up with Sister Isabelle (Clémence Poésy), Daryl accepts, setting him off on a perilous journey full of new burner zombies, a nefarious nightclub owner, and a power-hungry political leader.
During Daryl's brief chat with Carol in 'Deux Amours', the latter fills in the former as to how things are at home, and intriguingly mentions that someone "came back". It's all too easy to assume she could be talking about Andrew Lincoln's Rick Grimes, who's been separated from the group since season 9's dramatic midseason finale. But Zabel's comments suggest otherwise...
"It is important to what her ongoing story may be, and it is important in terms of what we were thinking is going on in Carol's world at that moment," he explained to the aforementioned publication. "It's also not what the audience expects or anticipates, if they're anticipating something. So it will ultimately prove to be surprising."
When asked whether fans can expect to see more of Carol in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon finale, a theory bolstered by the fact that she was spotted on set with Reedus back in

Netflix’s Kingdom is like if Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead had a TV baby
Kingdom opens ominously, with two attendants walking across a Joseon-era Korean palace’s courtyard to bring the king his meal. Once inside, the older attendant warns his young companion not to look into the king’s bedchambers while passing the food underneath the curtain. The young attendant can’t resist, and when he opens his eyes he’s dragged under the curtain by a snarling beast. It’s a dread-filled scene that grabs your attention, but Kingdom also uses that moment to set itself apart. Most zombie shows are centered around characters thrust into survival mode without knowing what caused the outbreak in the first place. In Kingdom, the original zombie is not just a known entity, he’s also being tended to by a royal staff.

Sony Breaks Down Metal Gear Solid Franchise For Its 25th Anniversary
The longer you go as a video game franchise, the longer you’ll get to tell the story you desire, or the longer you get to impress gamers with your gameplay stylings and how you can improve things over time. For the Metal Gear Solid franchise, it’s always been about the story. Even from the game’s earliest days, you had deep stories and characters that helped make the game stand out from the crowd. The franchise is over 35 years old as a whole, but the “Solid” side is 25 years old, which got the PlayStation Blog to do a franchise breakdown.
