Devilman Crybaby is Netflix’s new anime that immediately captured our attention, and that of just about every memester on YouTube. Dubbed “When the Devilman theme comes on,” the joke uses Devilman Crybaby’s catchy theme and mashes it up with older videos of people performing ridiculous dances. Devilman Crybaby’s theme is actually is a remix of “Devilman no Uta,” the theme for the original Devilman series that ran from 1972-73. It has quickly caught on with fans, who have been tweeting about the

Facebook is introducing a new monetization system for game streamers as it attempts to hop into the ring with YouTube and Twitch. Facebook is “actively exploring ways for fans to back their favorite gaming creators via payments during select livestreams on Facebook,” a press release reads. That may change in the coming months, however, as Facebook’s new Gaming Creator Pilot program launches. “We’re trying to establish a really healthy creator ecosystem on Facebook,” Cross said.

The wait for the eighth and final season of HBO’s Game of Thrones feels agonizing, but at least we have a clearer idea of when it might arrive. Actor Maisie Williams, who plays Arya Stark on the show, said in a recent interview with Metro that Game of Thrones will return in April 2019. We owe it to our audience and our fans to really do this final season to the best of our abilities.”Previously, HBO had only confirmed a 2019 release window for Game of Thrones season eight.

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

After two weeks of play, the final teams of the ELeague Major: Boston have been set and the quarterfinals are ready to begin. The quarterfinals will kick off this Friday, Jan 26, at 10 a.m. EST, with the first of three matches. Each series will be a best of three with the games broadcast live from the Agganis Arena in Boston, Massachusetts on the ELeague Twitch channel. Why you should watchThe first playoffs of 2018, the ELeague Major: Boston just so happens to be a perfect picture of the Counte

Its exotic perk, Payday, causes the gun to hold 99 bullets and have increased hip fire accuracy. While it’s a returning exotic from Destiny in terms of look, its exotic perk, Vanishing Shadow, is completely different in Destiny 2. This perk increases the length of your invisibility skills and causes your melee ability to recharge quickly while you’re invisible. Their exotic perk, Linear Actuators, increases your sprint speed and causes your next melee after sprinting to chain damage to nearby fo

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

I wasn’t sold on PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds before I played my first round, but then I spawned onto the starting island. The starting island was PUBG’s version of “glhf” in a game without text chat, but somehow more sincere and honest. A farewell to armsWhen the desert map Miramar dropped, the inferiority of its starting island to Erangel’s was immediately evident. The developers would not be adding guns to this spawn point, and would in fact be taking them away from the first spawn point. A

Does that mean you should play Monster Hunter: World, even if you’ve never been able to hang with the franchise before? Monster Hunter: World is not easy. Monster Hunter: World shrewdly allows its fabulous beasts to take center stage, never letting story or cookie-cutter quest givers interfere with the promise of the game’s crux. The streamlined additions to multiplayer are just one of the massive quality-of-life improvements evident in Monster Hunter: World. Monster Hunter: World is still compl

The collection of photos establishes this selfie-loving hiker and his impending journey to Celeste Mountain, where he eventually meets the protagonist, Madeline. Celeste does a good job of establishing its cast through dialogue scenes in between its jump-and-dash platforming levels, but Theo’s feed adds color where the game itself can’t. And just as cool is that it hints at his backstory and the reason for his own trip to the treacherous Celeste Mountain. How that plays into Theo and Madeline’s

Toxic player behavior in Overwatch’s competitive mode is on the decline, thanks to effort from both Blizzard and players, according to director Jeff Kaplan. Overwatch players have been reporting more bad behavior via in-game tools, but Blizzard is also going after toxic players proactively — specifically that the company is hunting them down on YouTube and taking action against them, even before any player has reported them. In a developer update video posted yesterday, Kaplan called the fight a

The PlayStation Network is currently down, and players online are complaining about the interruption in their service. Sony’s official site is confirming that the account management, gaming and social, PlayStation Now, PlayStation Video, PlayStation Store and PlayStation Music services are all “experiencing issues” across PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. The PlayStation Network has been suffering from outages in the past week, and it doesn’t look like all of the issues have been fixed. The launc
