Assembling all twenty Glyphs unlocks "The Truth," a short video depicting a man and woman named Adam and Eve running through a futuristic setting called Eden. The video closes on a binary string that translates directly to the word EDEN.
Composer Matt Uelmen wrote Diablo's Tristram theme on a 12-string guitar, and it became so recognizable that when Blizzard wanted to announce Diablo III at BlizzCon 2008, all they did was have a guitarist strum the opening chords onstage. Apparently over ten thousand people in the crowd knew exactly what game was coming before a single word was said.
Although he never appears on screen, the real-life assassination of Galeazzo Maria Sforza, Duke of Milan, is referenced in letters Giovanni Auditore writes to Lorenzo de' Medici, framing it as the opening spark of the game's Templar conspiracy in 1476.
MW3 wasn't just an Infinity Ward game. Sledgehammer Games came on board to help finish the whole project after their own original title got shelved, Raven Software handled the UI and DLC as they usually did, and Treyarch pitched in on multiplayer design, built the Survival mode and even ported the whole thing to Wii.
At 11 years old, Millie Bobby Brown was understandably nervous about shaving her head to become Eleven. The Duffers ended up showing her a photo of Charlize Theron as Furiosa in Mad Max: Fury Road, reframing the look as something powerful rather than scary, and it worked.

The Straw Hats aren't just wearing generic pirate gear. Several of their outfits, including looks for Luffy, Nami, Zoro, Usopp and Sanji, were pulled straight from color spread artwork that creator Eiichiro Oda drew for the manga's cover pages.
By the time Netflix announced its live-action cast, Oda's original manga had already sold in excess of 460 million copies worldwide, a scale of popularity that made adapting it into live action feel like an especially high-stakes gamble.
Ultron was meant to tower at eight or nine feet tall on screen, but James Spader is only five foot ten in real life. To help his co-stars actually know where to look while acting opposite him, he wore a tall wire contraption strapped to his back with two red balls on top, roughly marking where Ultron's eyes would eventually sit once the CGI was added.
Somewhere in Part 2's dialogue, Joel and Ellie bond over a fictional action-movie franchise called Curtis and Viper 2, a series that only exists inside this world. It clearly meant something to the writers too, because the HBO adaptation brought the same made-up franchise back when Dina mentions wanting to watch it with Joel.
Ezio's story might wrap up in Revelations, but Ubisoft clearly liked the character enough to lend him out. He showed up as a guest fighter in Soul Calibur V and even had a cameo in the mobile title Academy of Champions: Soccer, of all things.
