It’s a shame that the best shows on Adult Swim also seem to be the ones with the longest breaks between seasons. It’s been roughly two-and-a-half years since The Venture Bros. Season 6 wrapped, which his basically par for the course at this point. Fortunately, the series never seems to lose its momentum or energy despite those long stretches of down time. “The Venture Bros. & The Curse of the Haunted Problem” offers a zany and deceptively ambitious gateway back into this always entertaining universe.
Where Season 6 delivered a major status quo shift for the series, Season 7 picked up more or less right where things left off in March 2016. That’s to be expected given that Season 6 didn’t wrap up so much as it abruptly stopped when creators Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer ran out of episodes. For the most part, the characters are all right where we left them, with the Venture family enjoying its new Manhattan headquarters and the supervillain community cowering in fear of the threat of Blue Morpho. But rather than dive into a plot-heavy continuation of Season 6, Publick and Hammer started slow with an amusing, horror-flavored episode that parodied bits of The Exorcist, Poltergeist, 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Godfather.

Capcom has announced the next two characters coming to Street Fighter 5: G and Sagat. While both characters were already revealed, their release dates were unclear. At EVO 2018, however, it was confirmed that both characters will be available on August 6. You can watch the trailer for Sagat above and G below.
G is a brand new character to the fighting game series and is the self-styled president of the world. More information about him was provided on the Capcom Unity blog, where he’s described as “a mysterious new character who wishes to unify the world as its president. He decides to spread his message in ways the modern world can understand: through social media.
“Initially, he doesn’t receive much attention until Rashid comes across his videos and decides to help amplify G’s message to the people. That being said, there’s much more to G than meets the eye.” The blog continues: “G has a unique move set that utilizes his role as the President of the World and his mysterious origins. During a fight, his Presidentiality level can be seen next to the V-Gauge in the form of an icon representing the Earth. By using G Charge, G absorbs power from the Earth to increase his Presidentiality level to 3. The higher his Presidentiality level is, the more powerful his special moves are. However, if G is knocked down, the Presidentiality level will go down.”

Sagat, meanwhile, is one of Street Fighter’s most iconic characters and a fan-favorite. His latest incarnation looks to be as fearsome as ever, with high damage potential and the ability to control space with his Tiger Shots.
“In Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition, Sagat has become a hermit in a secluded village and must overcome his inner demons,” Capcom explains. “Sagat’s iconic move set remains true to his past appearances in the Street Fighter series. Tiger Shot is a projectile that changes speeds depending on which punch button you press and cannot hit crouching opponents. Grand Tiger Shot (Low Tiger Shot in previous titles) can hit crouching opponents, but deals less damage and is less safe. Tiger Uppercut is a dragon punch-style attack that can be used as an anti-air or a reversal. Tiger Knee Crush (Tiger Knee in previous titles) is a quick lunge that can close the distance between Sagat and his opponent.”
Both G and Sagat are available individually for $6/£6 or 100,000 Fight Money or as part of the Season 3 Character Pass for $30/£25. This pass also unlocks access to Sakura, Blanka, Falke, and Cody. Purchasing the characters also gives you their Battle Costumes with colors 3-10 and default costume colors 3-10.
Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition is a new, updated version of its Capcom’s flagship fighting game. In GameSpot’s Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition review we awarded the game a 9/10, saying it finally “feels like a complete package,” after being quite barebones at launch.
“It has always been a strong fighting game that continues to get better over time, but it remained a game for genre enthusiasts. Arcade Edition, however, is a game that you can confidently recommend to anyone. Two years after its launch, Street Fighter V is finally fighting fit.”
Lucy O’Brien and Cam Shea are joined by first time author and friend Daniel Findlay to discuss his debut novel, Year of the Orphan. Daniel breaks down the journey from idea to finished novel, the process of finding a publisher, and the long process of editing. Turns out it’s a lot of hard work, but hey, at least playing Fallout 3 can be part of the creative process!
The organizers of a panel focused on the perception of Japanese games from outside Japan wants you to take a survey to help them out.
Publisher Nikkei BP wants to gather data for the panel via the survey, which you can take here. 20 participants will be picked at random to win a TGS t-shirt, which are admittedly a lot cooler and more eccentric than your average video game con t-shirt. Check out the designs below.
