Ryu From "Street Fighter II" Has Just Turned 50 And Now We Feel Old

The star of Capcom’s 1991 fighting classic has just reached the big five-oh, according to his date of birth in the game.

Remember in Street Fighter II when it listed all the characters' height, weight and age? Well, according to those stats, Ryu has just turned 50.

Remember in Street Fighter II when it listed all the characters' height, weight and age? Well, according to those stats, Ryu has just turned 50.

Yes, that's right. When the game came out in 1991, revolutionising the fighting genre in the process, Ryu's age was given as being 27. But that was 23 years ago.

Keep on dragon punching, Ryu.

How To Pack Like A Pro For Every Occasion

0
0

Travel light, travel well.

Prepare to go away – even for just a day – and your mind fills with images of how you'll be your best self: stylish, event-appropriate, and with more outfit changes than Beyoncé. The reality is that unless your luggage is made up of monogrammed Vuitton cases, you will look a little crazy with loads of bags, and lugging heavy stuff is the worst.

Embrace the idea of packing lightly and presenting one, slightly variable version of yourself, and a whole world of freedom opens up. The luggage carousel becomes a distant memory and you're filled with smug pride when people notice how little you've managed to bring. It also helps you keep all your wardrobe losers at home, like the high-waisted shorts you can't do up after eating. Dream-team wardrobe only, please.

You'll want to start with a base outfit of your bulkiest items: jeans, neutral-ish top and fashion-appropriate trainers like Nike Free Runs or Vans Slip-ons are perfect.

Travel super-light for an overnight stay.

Travel super-light for an overnight stay.

Even committed maximalists can travel light on an overnight stay. A simple top and undies is really all you need.

Something like a stripy Breton top has enough impact to hide the fact you're wearing the same shoes and bottoms as the day before, and the nautical stripes work anywhere: at the pub, with the family, at fancy events, on outdoorsy days. Add an exciting piece of jewellery to make it look like you've really put some thought into your outfit, even though you've spent more time thinking about what to have for breakfast.

Isabelle O'Carroll for BuzzFeed

Lush does some great solid perfumes that are perfect for travelling, and no one ever died from using their eyebrow pencil to define their eyes. Going old-school with a space-saving comb and using clever cosmetics like Benefit lip and cheek stain will help prevent you carrying around a 2-ton bag for a couple of days. Decant – always decant – your favourite cleanser rather than slumming it with wipes; you'll feel much less like a stop-out and your skin will thank you.

#protip: Hoard those little cloth drawstring bags you get when buy clothes or shoes. They're perfect for stashing underwear, making it less likely that your worst pair of pants will come flying out when you're looking for your purse.

21 Things That Need To Happen At Comic-Con 2014

0
0

Benedict Cumberbatch! Frozen ‘s Elsa! And (hopefully) first looks at Game of Thrones ’ Sand Snakes and the Justice League of America. Here’s our wish list for 2014’s San Diego Comic-Con, running from July 23–27.

Benedict Cumberbatch somehow works in a Sherlock reference when talking about Penguins of Madagascar.

Benedict Cumberbatch somehow works in a Sherlock reference when talking about Penguins of Madagascar .

DreamWorks Animation panel
Thursday, July 24, 11:30 a.m. (all times Pacific Daylight)

Scheduled to attend: For Penguins of Madagascar, stars Benedict Cumberbatch, John Malkovich, Tom McGrath, and directors Simon J. Smith and Eric Darnell; for Home, director Tim Johnson.

What we need to see: Benny Batch, who provides the voice of Agent Classified in the Madagascar spin-off, will be making his debut appearance at Comic-Con this year. And frankly, that's kind of hard to believe for a man who has inspired such rabid fandom, but, because of that, the panel may be packed with people who otherwise would not quite care about DreamWorks Animation's upcoming slate — and if Cumberbatch reads the room correctly, a sly reference or two to Sherlock would help goose the crowd. (Meanwhile, DWA fans will want to know what lies beyond Home — including 2015's B.O.O.: Bureau of Otherworldly Operations and Kung Fu Panda 3.) —Adam B. Vary

DreamWorks Animation

We get a better idea of whether The Giver will live up to the book.

We get a better idea of whether The Giver will live up to the book.

The Giver panel
Thursday, July 24, 1:30 p.m.

Scheduled to attend: Stars Jeff Bridges, Brenton Thwaites, and Odeya Rush, director Phillip Noyce, and author Lois Lowry

What we need to see: There has been a lot of trepidation about this adaptation of Lowry's beloved YA novel, from the decision to age up protagonist Jonas (Brenton Thwaites) by several years to how, exactly, the use of black-and-white will be employed in the movie. With a full hour dedicated to this one film at Comic-Con, there should be plenty of time for some extensive footage, and for fans to further grill the stars and filmmakers about what to expect. —ABV

Community panel
Thursday, July 24, 2:15 p.m.

Scheduled to attend: Executive producers Dan Harmon and Chris McKenna with stars Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Jim Rash, and Dino Stamatopoulos ("Starburns")

What we need to see: The announcement that the show was saved for a sixth season by Yahoo was (let's be real) a massive surprise, so no one really knows what to expect from the next batch of episodes. First and foremost: Will the show still be set at Greendale? Hopefully, this panel answers that and more. —Jarett Wieselman

Kids say the darndest things. And sometimes people don’t love it.

Denham said Justin asked a woman at the doughnut shop if she had a baby in her belly, WFSB reports.

The woman replied "No," and Denham said she was mortified.

"My response was, 'Oh my goodness, I'm so embarrassed, I'm so sorry,'" Denham said.

"We were screamed at in front of the door, 'He's not allowed in here, he's rude,'" the mom recalled, adding that she tried to explain the situation to her son and that he "sort of" understands.

10 Actors And Actresses Who Would Definitely Kill It On "American Horror Story"

Because someone has to replace Jessica Lange in season five.

Tilda Swinton

Tilda Swinton

Tilda Swinton is simply the shit. I mean this lady can do pretty much anything to be honest. For the most recent piece of evidence watch her in Snowpiercer. Her character is one you are supposed to hate and I did, but I wanted her on the scene the whole time.

Pedro Pascal

Pedro Pascal

This guy has been on a lot of television shows lately. After runs on both Graceland and The Mentalist, playing law enforcement, he made the jump to Game of Thrones. Pascal has recently been cast on a new Netflix series, but his greatest role to date is Oberyn Martell on the HBO series and I think American Horror Story could be a cool move for the actor.

Fiona Shaw

Fiona Shaw

The last time I remember Fiona Shaw was her turn on True Blood as Marnie Stonebrook, which was interesting. The character was absolutely crazy, but showed off Shaw's talent for portraying odd characters. I think it is a good indication of how well she would handle American Horror Story. Most people will know her as Petunia Dursley in the Harry Potter films though. Point is, she is awesome.

Dylan O'Brien

Dylan O'Brien

Most people will know O'Brien as Stiles on MTV's Teen Wolf. Outside of that role O'Brien has been in a few comedy films including The Internship. His biggest role to date will be headlining the adaptation of Maze Runner that will be released in September. This new film and his arc as a villain on Season 3 of Teen Wolf have shown O'Brien's ability for non comedic roles. A turn on American Horror Story could be a cool way to continue his momentum before he makes his jump to films after Teen Wolf, which seems like a great move for the talented young actor.

How To Make A DIY Kitchen Island With A Concrete Countertop

Because every man (/woman/human) needs an island.

Concrete countertops are popular design options and kitchen islands are one of the most common remodeling projects. Here is an easy way to make your own itchen island with a concrete countertop. Making your own instead of buying a premade one like this can save you hundreds of dollars.

Quikrete Countertop Mix (in grey)
Available at Home Depot
QUIKRETE® Countertop Mix is a super high-performance mix that is worth the price. It has no large pieces of gravel or aggregate, which makes it great for small intricate pieces such as lamps and vases. It’s easy to work with and comes in different colors. Most stores don’t carry it in-stock so call ahead to your local Home Depot to have it ordered for pickup.

36" Long 1 1/4" Square Fir Balusters
Available at Home Depot
These square balusters are straight, smooth and easy to work with. I used them to make block supports for the concrete form.

3/4" Melamine Board
Available at Home Depot
Melamine board is particle board with a smooth laminate surface. It's a great product for making concrete formwork. I bought two 2' by 4' sheets and had four 2 1/2" strips cut at Home Depot.

2×4s and 1×4s
Available at Home Depot or Lumber Yard
Because the island was planned as an outdoor piece, I used cedar lumber. Cedar and Redwood weather well and are great for outdoor use but cost a bit more than other soft woods. The same design could be made using standard 2×4s and deck screws for a little less money.

3", 2 1/2" and 1 5/8" Stainless Steel Screws
Available at Home Depot
These stainless steel screws have a small head, a nice appearance and won't rust. If you're building the island for indoor use, cheaper coated screws can be used.
