Endgame Editors Confirm That Post-Credits Easter Egg
Spoilers ahead for Avengers: Endgame!
UPDATE 2: Avengers: Endgame editor Jeffrey Ford has confirmed that is indeed an audio callback to the first Iron Man movie at the very end of Endgame, and also revealed that it was Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige's idea to include it.
"We knew early on that we weren't going to have any post-credit scenes in this movie," Ford told Business Insider. "Towards the end of our mix, Kevin came in and said, 'I got an idea, and I want to try it — what if we have a little audio flashback at the end with Tony?' So we dug through the elements of 'Iron Man 1' and found the exact piece of sound from the print master. We laid it in against the logo and adjusted the rhythm slightly. We showed Kevin and he gave it his blessing. We thought this was a great send-off."

Blizzard Announces New Workshop Mode for Overwatch
Blizzard Entertainment has announced the Workshop for Overwatch, a mode that expands customization features available to players in the game browser.
Announced through the official Overwatch website, the Workshop is a "simplified game scripting system that expands the customization features available in the Game Browser.” The Workshop is available through Overwatch’s public test region (PTR) server.
On top of already established Overwatch game modes, players can create a script and add rules and unique play conditions to their games. These rules can be applied to movement speed, abilities, damage and healing mechanics, displaying text under certain conditions and more. One specific theoretical mode described was Molten Floor, where a hero will catch fire if they’re on the ground, necessitating players to frequently jump and look for objects to move across.

Spoilers for Cobra Kai Season 1 follow!
Strike First. Strike Hard. No Mercy.
Cobra Kai, the decades-later sequel series to the iconic Karate Kid film franchise of the '80s, (crane) kicks off its second season on YouTube Red this Wednesday, April 24.
To prepare you for the chops, blocks, sweeps, and sweeping drama of the next 10 episodes, here's a quick and dirty rundown of all the ways Season 1 surprised and delighted us by subverting the established lore of the Karate-verse.
As the curtain dropped in 2018, William Zabka's Johnny led his star Cobra Kai pupil, Miguel (Xolo Maridueña), to victory over Miyagi-Do and his own son Robby (Tanner Buchanan) in the All Valley Tournament. Starting to have serious reservations about the type of warrior he'd allowed Miguel to become, and possibly realizing that Cobra Kai's toxic aggression was unhealthy, Johnny was promptly visited in the end by his old mentor, Kreese (Martin Kove), who emerged from self-exile to bask in the new glory of his old school.

Someone Beat Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Using Donkey Kong Bongos
While most have a hard enough time getting through Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice with a standard controller, one daring individual managed to beat the game using Donkey Kong Bongos.
ATwerkinYoshi, known for using bizarre controllers in his gaming runs, posted a video of him beating Sekiro's final boss using two sets of DK Bongos on Reddit. His DK Bongo run reportedly took 10 hours, with 131 total resurrections and 31 deaths at the hands of the game’s final boss.
At the beginning of this rhythmic run, ATWerkinYoshi posted a series of images on Imgur showing his DK Bongo Sekiro setup. He modified the bongos to work with the game, with one pair largely acting as his directional inputs and the other mostly used for attacks and parrying. He had to sacrifice camera controls in order to make the setup work, which he claims made seeing above or below him difficult, though considering he managed to beat the entire game this way, it appears to have paid off.
The Conjuring’s James Wan, Gary Dauberman to Remake Stephen King Movie
