Fortnite Halloween Skins, Back Bling and Gliders Leak
In a series of early-morning tweets, established Fortnite leakers @TwoEpicBuddies and @FNBRLeaks revealed Fortnite's upcoming Halloween-themed skins, back blings, gliders, pickaxes, and emotes ahead of their release.
The epic skins are called Straw Ops (female) and Hay Man (male). Players will also be able to spook up their in-game appearances with the Bird Hovel and Hay Nest back blings, the Dark Glyph and Field Wrath gliders, the Harvester and Thunder Crash pickaxes, and the T-Pose emote. The T-Pose is said to be an infinite emote, like Jubilation, and appears to be designed to help players with the new Halloween skins pull off the full scarecrow look.

A DDR Movie Is in the Works Where Dancing Will Save the World
A movie centered around the arcade sensation Dance Dance Revolution is currently in the works.
According to Variety, Greg Silverman's new company Stampede is behind the film which is being made in partnership with producers J. Todd Harris and Marc Marcum from Branded Entertainment as well as Konami who still own the intellectual property.
Dance Dance Revolution appears to have been taken quite literally as the movie is set to take place in a world where their only chance of survival is to unite through the power of dance.
The announcement was made alongside the news that Cara Fano, who has been at Stampede since launch and previously worked with Silverman at Warner Bros, has been promoted to director of development across film and television.
Toys R Us Bankruptcy Auction Canceled, Brand May Live on After All
Toys "R" Us Inc. has canceled its bankruptcy auction and is looking to "revive the business behind the Toys "R" Us and Babies "R" Us brand names."
As reported by the Wall Street Journal, "Toys "R" Us's proposed reorganization plan contemplates "a new, operating Toys "R" Us and Babies "R" Us branding company that maintains existing global license agreements and can invest in and create new, domestic, retail operating businesses" under the brand name, court papers said."
Toys "R" Us' controlling lenders determined that any "qualified bids" for their bankruptcy auction most likely would not "yield a superior alternative to the plan."
Blizzard Gives First Look at Overwatch Legos
Blizzard and Lego today gave Overwatch fans their first real look at the forthcoming Overwatch Legos, and they chose to do it with the two characters featured most prominently in Overwatch marketing going back to the original 2014 announcement trailer.
"Build the perfect team, brick by brick," reads an official Overwatch tweet from this afternoon. The tweet contains a short clip of Overwatch Game Director Jeff Kaplan assembling a Lego character in the likeness of Overwatch's Tracer. Once assembled, the Lego Tracer turns into an animation that zips around the screen with the character's trademark speed.
Why Daredevil Is Going Back to the Black Costume
It's pretty clear that Matt Murdock's world is going to get a lot darker in Daredevil Season 3. We mean that literally when it comes to his outfit. Daredevil will go back to a version of his original, Season 1-era black costume this season, and we found out the reasons why on a recent visit to the set.
While Matt's red suit is certainly useful when it comes to protecting Matt Murdock from the worst Hell's Kitchen has to offer, star Charlie Cox hinted that Matt will willingly abandon the suit as part of his descent into darkness in the new season.
Cox told us, "The way we transitioned into the red costume in the end of Season 1, the thing that really sold it for me was this conversation that Matt had with Father Lantom, where Lantom says... sometimes it’s important for there to be a symbol to be feared by people. They see something, it keeps them in check, it allows them to remember why they behave in a moral way. And that was the impetus for Matt to go and embrace this symbol, this red suit."
