Arrow: Mr. Terrific Has a Tough Road Ahead

Season 5 has provided that answer, with Curtis joining a new team of young heroes, as Oliver tries to mold them into a more formidable group – with Curtis still having plenty to learn.
At Arrow’s recent 100th episode celebration in Vancouver -- that episode airs November 30th, as part of a big crossover with the other CW/DC series -- I spoke to Kellum about Curtis’ journey and why both he and his character are so excited about everything happening.

How Blizzard Hid World of Warcraft: Legion’s Secret Boss
It only took about 10 days after the launch of World of Warcraft's Legion expansion for players to unlock one of its deeper secrets. Kosumoth the Hungering, the world-eating Old God tucked away on an unused island, was the surprising "treasure" at the end of an otherwise unassuming quest to find a hidden mount, and he was a reveal the WoW development team worked very hard to keep a secret.
The idea to create Kosumoth came from Blizzard senior game designer Jeremy Feasel, who WoW game director Ion Hazzikostas gives full credit for the surprise boss. Calling Feasel "one of the masterminds behind the secrets and fun things," Hazzikostas explained to IGN at BlizzCon that incorporating Kosumoth was a way to solve the problem of how to come up with creative ways for players to acquire mounts.
More Mass Effect Andromeda Release Date Evidence Emerges
An Amazon promotional image for Mass Effect Andromeda provides further evidence of a March release.

Is March 21 the official release date?
However, when compared with an earlier clue on the Mass Effect Andromeda art book, the March 21 release date looks to be pretty solid. The Dark Horse book, releasing March 21, 2017, promised to release "simultaneously with the game," but the product description has since been changed.
