In Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes , we as readers only get a few incidental looks at what either of Calvin's parents do when Calvin isn't around. Watterson wrote in the Calvin and Hobbes 10th anniversary collection that Calvin's father is a patent attorney, like Watterson's own father was, although there's all of one strip that ever specifically refers to that. Meanwhile, Calvin's mother stays home in a largely fruitless attempt to keep Calvin under control. source https://www.polygon.com/calvin-and-hobbes-best-quote-on-work/

2024 was a banner year for Sony's Spider-Man Universe, with no less than three Spidey-adjacent spinoffs released in theaters: Madame Web , Venom: The Last Dance , and Kraven the Hunter . All three films were met with acidic critical response, and all but one — the third Venom movie — were box office bombs. It seems that Kraven the Hunter's biggest prey was Sony Pictures' Marvel-esque ambitions: The Aaron Taylor-Johnson-led superhero movie effectively killed the "SSU" after grossing just $62 million globally . source https://www.polygon.com/kraven-the-hunter-streaming-date-disney-plus-september-2026/

Horror games usually put you in the shoes of someone desperately trying to survive. Maybe you’re creeping through a dark hallway with three bullets left, hiding under a bed while something searches the room, or running away from a creature you have absolutely no hope of killing. source https://www.polygon.com/steam-sale-carrion-steam-sale-80-percent-off-august-2026/

It's been a turbulent time for Sony-owned anime streaming giant Crunchyroll, at least when it comes to its store. After limiting store access only to Mega and Ultimate Fan tier subscribers in July, Crunchyroll seems to have now removed the majority of physical media from the platform, according to angry users who took to social media to vent their frustration. source https://www.polygon.com/crunchyroll-store-removes-physical-products-manga-anime/

Thirteen years ago, when Grand Theft Auto 5 was originally released, fans were confused as to why Rockstar had downgraded its signature series Wanted system . The mechanic, which informs players of how ardently the in-game police will pursue them, went from six stars in Grand Theft Auto 4 to a mere five stars. Recent gameplay leaks of the open-world shooter reveal that the classic Wanted system is back. Grand Theft Auto 6 ' s cops may have even been upgraded. source https://www.polygon.com/gta-6-leak-wanted-level-six-stars-five-how-does-it-work-cops-tanks/

It's strange to look back on now, considering the image he has chosen to project into the world for the last two decades or so, but it's true: Tom Cruise used to specialize in playing jerks. Not unlikable jerks, and certainly not losers, but definitely guys who rode their extreme cockiness a bit too close to the sun. He did it time and time again. Because this was the 1980s and the early '90s, when being a jerk was kind of in fashion, he was able to become the biggest movie star in the world doing it. source https://www.polygon.com/mission-impossible-tom-cruise-free-streaming-august-2026/
