Fallout season 2 ending explained: The Enclave, Colorado, and what it means for season 3

Arknights: Endfield Wuling interactive map

After progressing in Arknights: Endfield 's story, you'll eventually make it to Wuling , a zone with better base-building options, adding water and liquids into the factory-expanding equation. Wuling only starts with two areas: Wuling City and Jingyu Valley , but surely the map will expand to rival Valley IV's size. source https://www.polygon.com/map/arknights-endfield-wuling-interactive-map/

AI PlayStation podcasts are a good thing (guest column by Definitely a Real Person)

Over the last few years, generative AI has become a massively popular tool that has transformed every part of our lives — from coding to writing. It’s not just science fiction! Now, Sony might be gearing up to take AI into the future — and it's taking gamers along for the ride. According to a recently filed patent, Sony could theoretically roll out AI-generated podcasts on PlayStation 5 starring its most iconic characters (if the patent is granted). source https://www.polygon.com/playstation-ps5-ai-podcasts/

Arc Raiders event schedule complaint addressed by devs

Since launch, the most common complaint from Arc Raiders players is that the events and map conditions are on a 24-hour schedule. It means those who can only play at the same time every day are likely to miss some of the game's content, including taking on the Queen and Matriarch, the two endgame bosses that reward some of the best weapons and items. source https://www.polygon.com/arc-raiders-bird-city-event-schedule/

Switch is Nintendo's best-selling console ever, Switch 2 is still the fastest

It's been inevitable for a while now, and probably happened some months ago, but it's finally official: the Nintendo Switch has become Nintendo's best-selling system ever, and the second-best-selling console of all time. source https://www.polygon.com/nintendo-sales-switch-best-selling-ever/

YouTuber movie Iron Lung is a box office hit, despite alleged attempts to delist it

Iron Lung scored big at the box office, with the sci-fi horror film earning $17.8 million in its opening weekend. It beat Malenia , Zootopia 2 , and Avatar: Fire and Ash . The only film that Iron Lung didn't knock off its perch was Sam Raimi's Send Help , which remained strong by raking in $20 million over the weekend. source https://www.polygon.com/iron-lung-movie-markiplier-box-office-delisted/

Disney Lorcana’s Winterspell won me over when I leaned into silly nostalgia

Having an extensive background in Magic: The Gathering does not prepare you whatsoever for Disney Lorcana . That’s the first lesson I learned after I started ripping preview packs from the upcoming Winterspell set, which is slated for prerelease on Feb. 13 and global release on Feb. 20. My goal: Figure out how to build a deck from the 384 cards. source https://www.polygon.com/lorcana-winterspell-disney-preview-darkwing-duck-deck/

Who is Egg from A Knight of The Seven Kingdoms? Aegon Targaryen V and his Game of Thrones role, explained

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is fairly low-key, especially compared to the epic stakes of Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon . There are no dragons or White Walkers or violent power struggles in HBO’s latest GoT spinoff, but the show’s new episode still introduces a Westeros-shaking twist when the lowly but earnest hedge knight, Dunk (Peter Claffey), learns an incredible truth about his squire, Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell). source https://www.polygon.com/who-is-egg-explained-knight-of-the-seven-kingdoms-king-aegon-v/

Code Vein 2 epitomizes gaming's most dire trend: the Swagless Game

In any given year, I play a whole lot of video games. A good chunk of what I play sticks with me in one way or another. Maybe it’s a deeply meaningful game like Despelote that makes me reflect on the real world. Perhaps it’s something like Mindseye , a game so memorably bad that it takes up rent in my head for years to come. Or maybe it’s a game that’s firmly in the middle, but at least excels in one particular area that gets me thinking. It’s not too often that I play something that just goes in one ear and out the other entirely. source https://www.polygon.com/code-vein-2-swagless-game/

A new Men in Black animated series is the best way forward for the struggling sci-fi franchise

The Men in Black sequels should have been a slam-dunk. After all, the first movie, despite its sci-fi premise, operates like a buddy cop film where two very different guys get paired together and bond while in pursuit of some bad guy. Historically, these kinds of movies — like Lethal Weapon , Rush Hour and Will Smith’s other franchise, Bad Boys — are ripe for sequels because all you have to do is put those two guys together on a new case and let their already-established chemistry take over. Men in Black II and Men in Black 3 , however, each fumbled the ball in several ways. Men in Black II made the mistake of recycling the first plot of an alien coming to Earth in search of yet another cosmic artifact, except Lara Flynn Boyle’s lingerie-wearing shapeshifter Serleena wasn’t nearly as strange or monstrous as Vincent D’Onofrio’s giant roach creature. There was nothing new or exciting about this new villain, who bore more than a passing resemblance to Natasha Henstridge’s alien from...

About Time is still Rachel McAdams’ most thoughtful time-travel movie

Nobody in the history of cinema has had more time-traveling husbands than Rachel McAdams . Four years after she starred in The Time Traveler’s Wife (2009) opposite Eric Bana, McAdams played Mary in About Time (2013). While the movie initially seems like a generic time-travel romance in which Tim Lake ( Domhnall Gleeson ) uses his family’s hereditary ability to woo the girl of his dreams, what unfolds is more a meditation on appreciating the finer things in life. The romance and time-traveling complications are there, along with some clever writing and charming chemistry, but About Time winds up far more philosophical than you might expect. source https://www.polygon.com/about-time-rachel-mcadams-movie-recommendation/
