Everything feels different when you arrive in the Kaifeng area, particularly in the large city of Kaifeng itself. You’ll find plenty of new things to do, but be warned – the Streetwise Sage Lost Chapter is full of tricksters and con artists!
A major change to the history of the Flash character, known as a retcon, caused a lot of disagreement among fans. After Wally West established the Speed Force as the origin of speedster powers, Barry Allen’s return in The Flash: Rebirth claimed Barry actually created the Speed Force through his accident, essentially becoming the lightning that gave him his abilities. Many consider this one of the worst changes ever made to the Flash’s story, and it’s largely been overlooked. However, DC’s current big event is now revealing why that original change was so problematic.
Lots of new movies and TV shows are being added to streaming services every week. Instead of checking each service individually, we’ve gathered all the new releases into one convenient list. Here’s everything hitting streaming platforms on Thursday morning.
The Game Gear was Sega’s attempt to compete in the handheld gaming market. Released in North America and Europe in 1991, this 8-bit system boasted a color screen and was technologically advanced for its time. It offered over 350 games, including popular titles from the Sonic series, and provided a fun, portable gaming experience. However, the Game Gear was notorious for its short battery life, requiring players to use a lot of AA batteries.
The new footage shows the Hawkins team making a final, desperate attempt to stop Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) from merging the Upside Down with Earth – an event that would destroy all life.

Their main goal is to destroy the substance that holds the Upside Down together, cutting off the connection between dimensions and saving the world. You can watch the trailer for the Stranger Things finale now.
While the 1980s produced a lot of great science fiction, its popularity also has a drawback. Not only were there some bad movies made, but many excellent films from that era have been overlooked. With so much sci-fi being released at the time, some truly exciting and smart movies slipped under the radar and are now underrated, meaning many fans haven’t even discovered them.
The new teaser for Avengers: Doomsday shows Thor facing a personal challenge alongside the fate of the multiverse. He wants to ensure a safe future for his adopted daughter, Love, as she grows up. Achieving this, even for a powerful god like Thor, requires help from other deities. This also cleverly introduces a significant threat – Robert Downey Jr.’s character, Doom – who appears powerful enough to make even gods seek assistance. You can watch the teaser below.
Konatsu Kato, who plays the main character Hinako, gained a lot of attention earlier this month when she began streaming the game. Her popularity led to her becoming a brand ambassador for the PlayStation partnership with Wind & Sea.
Recent data from SteamDB shows a significant increase in the number of players enjoying Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.

The show always had imperfections, but it was so enjoyable that most viewers didn’t mind – or even notice them.
