    Cobra Kai will end with its sixth season.

    I’ve been in awe of this nostalgia-filled spinoff of The Karate Kid since I finally discovered it on Netflix — it’s one of the greatest homages I’ve ever seen, with an incredible number of original cast coming along for the ride. It’s also had its highs and lows, though, so I’m glad they’re trying to end it right.

    Why is Lara Croft’s mansion so damn dirty? I must know.

    Obviously Tomb Raider + PowerWash Simulator is the most ambitious crossover event in history, but to what do we owe the pleasure? Did Lara mess with time again? Unleash a flood? GIVE US THE LORE!
