Halo: Campaign Evolved is a new remake of a 25-year-old game. It is, by many accounts , great: faithful where it needs to be while also charting a new course forward for a series that has been the face of Xbox for as long as it has existed. In theory, the discussion about Halo: Campaign Evolved as a game should amount to, “yep, pretty good!” And yet, it has found itself at the eye of the culture war hurricane du jour. source https://www.polygon.com/halo-campaign-evolved-lieutenant-williams-culture-war/

For the last month, Dungeons & Dragons fans have been wondering about a mysterious new setting created by actor and D&D superfan Joe Manganiello for the tabletop role-playing game.

Morty Smith has been through a lot over the course of nine seasons of adventuring with his grandpa Rick Sanchez in Rick and Morty . He’s had his consciousness fragmented into a video game’s NPCs, fled his own dimension, buried himself, and met his brilliant, evil doppelgänger. Season 8 ended with Morty facing his greatest fears, and the season 9 finale was another brutal episode that forced Morty to face some dark truths. source https://www.polygon.com/rick-and-morty-season-9-finale-interview/

Aside from some major deaths, some of the toughest drama to watch in House of the Dragon season 3 has everything to do with the fabled Sea Snake, Corlys Velaryon (Steve Toussaint), reckoning with his life and legacy. After his wife, Princess Rhaenys Targaryen (Eva Best), died at the Battle of Rook’s Rest in season 2, something in Corlys changed. He acknowledged that Alyn and Addam were his sons, and especially after his near-death experience in the Battle of the Gullet — during which his castle, High Tide, was ransacked — Corlys looked to the future even more. After Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy) successfully took over King’s Landing and claimed the Iron Throne, he pleaded with her to legitimize Alyn (Abubakar Salim) and Addam (Clinton Liberty) as his rightful heirs. Yet she refused. source https://www.polygon.com/house-of-the-drag...

The 2000s were a great time for cheesy vampire movies . Shortly before the Twilight franchise turned bloodsuckers into tortured romantic heroes for young adults, countless vampire flicks were released, filled with cringy dialogue and shlocky action sequences. Films like Van Helsing and Queen of the Damned aren’t the sharpest of what the genre can offer, but contain amazing moments of vampire lore, like an eerie masquerade ball depicting vampires without their reflection, or an undead rockstar climbing the walls to terrorize his groupies. source https://www.polygon.com/sam-neill-daybreakers-cheesy-vampire-movie-2000s/

Marvel 's San Diego Comic-Con panel wasn't all about Avengers: Doomsday , as Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and writer-director Ryan Coogler confirmed on stage that a third Black Panther film is in the works.
