God of War Director Has Plans for Five More Games
Update: Cory Barlog has clarified his statements from Kotaku's Splitscreen podcast to clarify he didn't mean five more God of War games are definitely in the works.
Barlog tweeted that the discussion on the podcast was much more "speculation" and not necessarily a declaration of exact plans for the God of War franchise. The future of the franchise "is going to be more measured" than what he discussed on the show.
"ok. to be honest, 5 games would literally kill me. you can rest assured the reality is going to be more measured than the speculation in the @kotaku discussion," he wrote.

American Gods Season 2 Gives First Look at House on the Rock
American Gods Season 2 is coming in 2019 and a new video gives fans a first look at the House on the Rock.
Production on the eight-episode second season has started and the new season will finally feature the aforementioned quintessential location in Neil Gaiman’s novel. The House on the Rock serves as a meeting place for a conference between the gods.
In Season 1, Mr. Wednesday (Ian McShane) and Shadow Moon (Ricky Whittle) were searching for the remaining Old Gods across America. It seems Season 2 will see Wednesday gather the Old Gods to discuss their plan to stop the New Gods. The meeting at the Carousel Room (pictured below) is regarded as one of the more standout moments from the book.
This Is How Much Avengers: Infinity War Cost to Make
Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War may be the biggest visual spectacle of the year, so it's no surprise that it cost Disney quite a few pennies to bring this epic vision to life.
According to Forbes, Infinity War cost $321.2 million to make, which does not include all of the marketing and other promotional costs that can easily add millions more to the overall budget. Surprisingly, Infinity War is not the most expensive Marvel film, as you can see from the list below of Marvel movies made in the UK and revealed in publicly available financial statements:

Marvel Already Planning 2025 MCU Movies
It doesn't seem like the MCU will be slowing down anytime soon, as Marvel Studios already has projects planned for the next several years.
In an interview with the AP, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige revealed he just had meetings about movies that are presumably coming out in 2024 and 2025. Though Feige did not share further details about those films and what they might be, he did tease there are still quite a few surprises in store for the MCU.
"We’re always thinking ahead," Feige said. "Just when people think they can pin us down, we go somewhere else and that’s going to happen again after Infinity War in the build-up to the next Avengers film. And we had meetings earlier today about 2024 and 2025."
Nintendo to Working on New Redesign of Joy-Con for Switch
Not long after the release of the Nintendo Switch last year, many users began noticing connection issues with the left Joy-Con controller. As found in a new filing with the Federal Communications Commission, it appears as though Nintendo is finally addressing the issue by releasing an entirely new iteration of the Joy-Con controller.
Nintendo has been working on a fix for the Joy-Con for some time now, with a variety of software fixes through numerous firmware updates. However, the issue itself mainly concerns the placement of the antenna housed inside of the left Joy-Con controller. That said, there's only so much that software updates can do to help. So an internal redesign of the Joy-Con appears to be Nintendo's best bet for an actual fix.
