For those who want a real chance to fight some walkers and navigate the post-apocalyptic universe of the Walking Dead franchise, a virtual-reality The Walking Dead experience could be the closest thing to kicking walker butt. The first official VR title of The Walking Dead franchise, announced in 2017, is set for a 2019 release date. Developed at Skydance Interactive (known for VR title Archangel: Hellfire) in partnership with Skybound Entertainment, the game will be called The Walking Dead: Sin

FouseyTube, a polarizing YouTuber known for his prank videos, is the latest creator to throw a fan-driven event with disastrous results. From there, Erakat said, little pebbles of ideas started springing up in his head — including Hate Dies, Love Arrives. The YouTube prankster who got prankedErakat’s concert was a typical YouTube event: It attracted other YouTubers and creators more than anyone else. Since the event, Keem has been actively working on a documentary. There’s no such thing as bad p

Music is the most crucial, cohesive element in Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy. Of the three, it’s the score to The Dark Knight that is perhaps the best known, largely for the harsh, glissando of the Joker theme. I mean there isn’t a single cue that isn’t informed by both of us.”The Dark Knight, however, seems to be a little more split. The Joker’s theme in The Dark Knight remains the most often discussed piece of music, and with good reason: it doesn’t sound like anything else. Though H

The Dark Knight would trap the action in one location, and suffocate the audience in tension. Luckily, The Dark Knight was still a Batman movie, and Nolan a popcorn thrill-seeker at heart. Chris Corbould, the special effects supervisor on The Dark Knight, was ultimately the person tasked with figuring out how to safely launch a truck down La Salle street in downtown Chicago. Nolan restrained himself, with a few altered frames to take out the ramrod the only visual effect on the truck stunt. The

Bonus ChallengeFor the next Super Gem, you’ll need to lure the Chargin’ Chucks into smashing some brick blocks for you. Use them to take out all of the Mud Troopers to complete this level’s Bonus Challenge. (You could also just drop onto the Mud Troopers’ from one of the towers one by one, but that would take a long time.) Lure one of the Chucks into destroying the bricks until you can see Super Gem 3

“Mine Cart Sunset Rundown” is the third level of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker’s second episode. It’s possible to complete this level’s Bonus Challenge while collecting the Super Gems in “Mine Cart Sunset Rundown,” but it’s much easier to worry about the Super Gems and Bonus Challenge in two different runs. Super Gem 1You’ll be able to see the first Super Gem from the very start of the level, but you won’t be able to get at it yet. Super Gem 3After some downhills and a few more turns, the track

The new prestige system for the Destiny 2 raid lairs challenges players in brand new way. But the rewards are great: an exclusive 400 power raid weapon. However, most pulse rifles aren’t exactly known for their boss damage. While this makes them great for boss damage in theory, the launchers don’t really do exceptional damage in single target scenarios. If you’re stuck on your kinetic and boss damage is coming up, try shooting at nothing until you rotate back to your power ammo.

All of World of Warcraft’s available content — aside from the soon to be released Battle for Azeroth expansion — is now included in the game’s $14.99 monthly subscription fee. The Battle Chest — which used to include the base game and all previous expansions — is no longer available for purchase in Blizzard’s online shop. Players, new and old, can now sign up for a subscription and play all the way through Legion, World of Warcraft’s sixth expansion. This change comes shortly after the pre-patch

Solstice of Heroes, which will start on July 31, is Destiny 2’s new summer holiday event.

Fortnite discussion usually revolves around the game’s Battle Royale mode, but the original, cooperative Save the World mode is still alive and kicking. “Any V-Bucks earned/bought in Save the World or Battle Royale can be spent in the other game modes,” Epic Games explains on the official FAQ page. So if you earn V-Bucks in Save the World mode, you can then spend them in Battle Royale to pay for skins, gliders or even the Battle Pass itself. Save the World mode is $19.99 right now, which would g

In four years, Amazon Prime Day has gone from a weird anniversary thing Amazon was doing to a (made-up) national shopping holiday. It’s gotten so big that Prime Day doesn’t even belong to Amazon anymore — many online retailers are running their own competing deals with many of the same benefits as Prime. While we’re busy rounding up the best discounts from Amazon Prime Day, there are still some great deals to be had if you’re not a Prime member. Many of Amazon’s Prime Day deals monitors have sol

The average play rate for Sea of Thieves per player is, according to a Polygon interview with Rare at E3 2018, 22 hours. That’s why when I recently jumped into a pick up game of Sea of Thieves from the game’s official Discord, I found my patience sorely tested. He had been a Pirate Legend the entire time, and he had snookered us all as a test of our character. For my part, I couldn’t stop laughing and congratulating the Pirate Legend on his long-term bamboozle. After my new Pirate Legend friend

On the occasion of The Dark Knight’s 10th anniversary, Polygon is spending the week investigating the comic-book blockbuster’s legacy . Modern systems are corrupt and shouldn’t be trusted, which means you have to be willing to corrupt yourself to get anything done. The Dark Knight’s Harvey Dent is one of the most enduring examples of this trope, even though he also serves to criticize it. He spends so much political capital gaining power that he’s never able to spend any actually helping the cit

Ten years later, an eon on the internet’s timeline, and The Dark Knight is still as essential to meme creation than ever.

Here are the comics that most inspired The Dark Knight — according to the creators themselves. But the first stories that lent their tone to The Dark Knight are literally the earliest. As in The Dark Knight, the criminal community itself pushes back against the Joker’s flamboyance, only to be cowed by his talent for murder. The Long Halloween answered that question, positioning Batman and Bruce Wayne as part of a greater mechanism in Gotham. But by the time The Dark Knight comes out, it will bec
