‘Everyone says love hurts. But no, love never hurts. It isn’t meant to be. Love is beautiful. Love is divine. Love is sacred. It’s just that losing that beloved-one hurts and wanting for them back KILLS!’ Chilly winds passed hard by and whispered in my ears, ‘the end’. My throat gathered a lump and my heart felt sick. The trouble that life brought seemed too much to bear. Vani was there, just there, but I could not approach her.So near, but still so far. After all these vacant years, I saw her today. I was still her Rupol but she was no longer my Vani, I realized. Six years ago, “I have to go Rupol, I am sorry”, she folded her hands and her beautiful eyes flooded tears. “And my life? Without you?”. I stood motionless. Her hurtful words had emptied my emotions. “I am helpless” “But Vani …”,I said but she put her fingers on my lips.

'Streets of Rage 4' revives Sega's beat 'em up classic Streets of Rage has received ports to other platforms, but a true sequel? Not since 1994.

We would note that Lizardcube had a lot of success with the Switch version of its Wonder Boy update. It seems like as good a bet as any that Streets will make its way to Nintendo's platform at some point. ...
A small city worth of people are watching absolutely nothing on Twitch The hottest ticket on Twitch Monday morning wasn't Fortnite star Ninja, for once. It was a seemingly endless list of garbled letters, numbers and punctuation, which more than 50,000 people were watching. They were hoping that the stream, from The Witcher developer CD Projekt Red, would eventually give them some more details about the hotly-anticipated game, Cyberpunk 2077 (the game's title is noted in the stream). The wall of text is still going, and the stream's title, "Data Transmission in Progress," indicates that something is imminent, most likely a full trailer.As things stand, though, it's a whole lot of nothing. A small city worth of people are taking some time out of their Mondays to watch a screed of text, crossing their fingers that it will eventually lead to a trailer or some gameplay footage they can watch on YouTube later anyway. Given the hype about Cyberpunk 2077, and...
