So before you head out to see Black Panther on Feb. 16, take a moment to brush up on T’Challa, king of Wakanda — the Black Panther himself. So Stan Lee and Jack Kirby were not thinking of Afrofuturism when they came up with Black Panther. A relatively recent addition to the Black Panther mythos, the Dora Milaje (pronounced DOOR-uh meh-LAH-shay) were created by Priest (a comics writer who has also been credited under the names “Christopher Priest” and “Jim Owsley”) for his 1998 ongoing series Bla

It can take hours to feel OK again once you tip over into full simulation sickness, so it’s wise to back off if you begin to feel sick. Sea of Thieves isn’t a VR game, but it sure is making me feel sick. Sea of Thieves is a challenging game if you sometimes get sick while playing first-person titles. An informal poll around the Polygon offices found that I wasn’t the only person who felt sick while playing Sea of Thieves. You may have issues, and you may not, but it could also be impossible to k

It’s been a long week, and you may be thinking about making a few additions to your Nintendo Switch library. The good news is that Nintendo has put a few of the system’s bigger games on sale through the eShop. The sale prices aren’t that much lower than retail pricing, but every little bit helps. You can see the full list of games on sale at the Nintendo landing page. There’s some good stuff, some OK stuff and some stuff that is certainly less expensive than it used to be.

Everyone had told me that Celeste — a beautiful, brutal platformer from the TowerFall team — was not the game for me. The good news is that I’m still playing Celeste, because Celeste’s Assist Mode lets me tweak what could become an otherwise painful, frustrating time.

The ongoing shortage of gaming graphics cards has kept prices for AMD’s and Nvidia’s midrange and high-end GPUs in the stratosphere, and retailers are taking steps to try to give gamers a better chance of buying the in-demand cards before cryptocurrency miners can snatch them up. This has led people to put together “mining rigs” — after buying multiple consumer graphics cards for the necessary computing power — and then try to turn a profit on their investment by mining for cryptocurrency.
