We may be mourning the loss of Steve Rogers’ incredible Infinity War beard as we go into Endgame, but radical character transformation is apparently becoming something of an Avengers tradition and Clint Barton is ready to pick up the baton and run with it. From his first appearance in the Endgame trailer, fans have been able to tell something’s up — the purple archer ain’t so purple anymore — and a shift was later confirmed by toy line releases. Hawkeye has given up being Hawkeye and is now the ominously named Ronin! (For even more on Ronin in Avengers: Endgame, head here.)

Jason Momoa Shaved His Beard and People Are Freaking Out
Aquaman actor Jason Momoa shaved his beard and the internet has a lot to say.
Momoa captured himself getting rid of his facial har in a YouTube video to bring attention to his new line of canned water, intended to reduce waste caused by plastic bottles. According to Momoa, the last time he shaved was in 2012.

Playtesting The New Fortnite Blasters: These Are Classic Nerf Toys
I’m no stranger to the world of Nerf. As a 37-year-old manchild, I remember the days of the Nerf Bow-and-Arrow, playing in the basement at a friend’s house. Decades later, I’m doing the same thing in my own house, alone. Back in January, Hasbro–the company behind the Nerf brand–revealed some Overwatch blasters that are overpowered and pretty awesome.
Now, Nerf has a new set of blasters modeled after weapons and items from Fortnite. I know what Fortnite is. It’s the game I installed on my Switch, and after a couple days, I deleted it because it wasn’t for me as I was simply awful at it. Regardless of my gameplay ability, it has a great, distinctive look that I could truly appreciate.
Anyway, Hasbro sent over it’s selection of Nerf blasters–and a few Super Soakers–based on the game, so let’s check out what these look like, how they work, and the price. All of the blasters you see below are available now.
Everything We Know About Avengers: Endgame
Captain America has a plan–and the plan involves teams
There’s been no shortage of speculation as to just what the remaining Avengers plan to do to confront Thanos for round two–after all, the odds are pretty heavily stacked against them, and not just because their numbers have been literally cut in half. But, apparently, there’s a plan–and that plan involves the remaining Avengers breaking into teams of some sort.
We know this thanks to the recently released clip which features a voice over from Steve Rogers explaining, “You know your teams. You know your mission–no mistakes, no do-overs.” Pretty ominous, but, hey, at least it’s something right?
Other clips have led us to believe that part of the plan might also involve the Avengers leaving Earth and heading for “the garden” which, as Nebula has explained, was Thanos’s post-snap retirement plan all along.
New Limited-Time GTA Online Event Adds In-Game Cash Bonuses
For a limited time, GTA Online is offering extra opportunities to earn in-game cash. From now until next week, the online component of Grand Theft Auto V is offering double GTA$ and RP rewards in certain missions.
Until April 24, you can earn double GTA$ and RP from completing Contact missions, the Doomsday Scenario Finale, Occupy, Hardest Target, or Juggernaut. Logging into GTA Online this week (April 18-24) will unlock a free Skulls Livery for the Mammoth Avenger and TM-02 Khanjali. If you’re a biker clubhouse owner, then April 25 through May 1, you’ll receive GTA$250K for free. In prep for this second bonus, the Great Chaparral Clubhouse is being temporarily lowered to GTA$50K–a 75 percent discount.
“If you’ve got GTA$20K and the poise to take on seven other racers for the shot at a podium finish payday, you can join Premium Races either through the Quick Job App on your in-game phone or via the yellow corona at Legion Square,” Rockstar wrote in a press release. “First place takes a grand prize of GTA$100K, while second and third place finishers will receive GTA$30K and GTA$20K respectively.”
Grand Theft Auto V is one of those games that’s as much fun to watch as it is to play, largely because of the hilariously stupid ways your characters can die. Despite releasing in 2013, Grand Theft Auto 5 remains one of the top-selling games–even appearing ahead of Rockstar’s more recent Red Dead Redemption 2 in the list of top selling PS4 games on PSN in January 2019.
In our Grand Theft Auto V review, Mark Walton gave the game a 9/10, writing, “Aside from a few mild frame rate issues that sometimes take the edge off its more dramatic moments, this is…the bar by which all other open-world games, or indeed any game that aims for a cinematic feel, should be judged. [Grand Theft Auto 5] is beautiful, and thought-provoking, and thrilling throughout.”
New Cuphead Vinyl Soundtrack Announced, Get It For 25% Off Until May 1
It’s a great day for Cuphead fans: The beloved run-and-gun indie game is now available to download from the Nintendo Eshop, complete with a brand-new free content update that lets you play as Mugman in single-player mode. And if you’re particularly fond of Cuphead’s incredible soundtrack–an original mix of jazz, early big band, and ragtime music performed by live musicians–then you may be interested in a premium collectible announced today: this Cuphead 2xLP vinyl soundtrack from iam8bit, which is available to pre-order for 25% off until May 1.
The gorgeous vinyl set comes in Cuphead’s 1930s styling and is selling for just $30 until the price goes up in a couple of weeks. Previously, a 4xLP deluxe vinyl soundtrack was released for $100, but has long since sold out. The new 2xLP vinyl is not only a more affordable option for folks who couldn’t get the 4xLP, but also includes previously unreleased exclusive solos, new art and packaging, and a curated “best of” track list. The track list itself hasn’t yet been revealed.
The Cuphead vinyl won’t start shipping until “Q3 2019,” so stay tuned for an official release date. While based in the United States, iam8bit does ship globally, but additional duties or taxes may not be reflected in the shipping price, so keep that in mind if you’re ordering from outside the U.S.

Naughty Dog Offers A Promising Last Of Us: Part 2 Development Update
The Last of Us: Part II is one of the most anticipated PS4 games of the moment, but things have been pretty quiet since the game’s E3 2018 gameplay reveal. However, developer Naughty Dog has now offered a small glimpse into the post-apocalyptic game’s development progress.
Creative director Neil Druckmann tweeted an image of the game’s final script page. The page simply reads, “Cut to black. The end.” His caption, meanwhile, states the team has finished shooting that scene.
The image comes just a few days after Druckmann posted an image on Instagram stating Laura Bailey, who plays an as-yet-unknown character, has wrapped her shooting schedule on the project. It therefore appears Naughty Dog has finished–or is close to finishing–shooting its motion capture scenes.
While development of the game could still be ongoing for a while yet, finishing this stage is nevertheless an important milestone. In any case, many fans feel they’ve been starved of information about The Last of Us: Part II, so to see it approaching the end of at least one important phase of development is a promising step.
No release date, or window, has yet been announced for The Last of Us: Part II. A spoof website recently reported the game would launch in 2019, but Naughty Dog responded by saying it would share more information when it’s ready. For more on the much-awaited PS4 game, check out everything we know about The Last of Us: Part II.
While we know The Last of Us: Part II is coming to PS4, Sony has, somewhat surprisingly, released the first details about the PS5. We know some of the device’s specs, while Sony has already confirmed the PS5 will be backwards compatible with PS4 games.
