Overwatch lore and tidbits

So the lore in the game is already pretty awesome with the shorts and the comics. The maps themselves all have some lore and fun bits as well.
From a Reddit post I saw: Kings Row is about nuking the omnic underworld with an EMP, Numbani is about delivering Doomfist's gauntlet to the museum, Dorado is celebrating the end of the Omnic Crisis, etc etc. Most of the other maps revisit stories that have already been told like Hanamura, Temple of Anubis, and Watchpoint: Gibraltar.
This was from a discussion about Hollywood, where the car has a passenger in it. Omnic director Hal-fred Glitchbot (a play on Alfred Hitchcock). Overwatch agents are escorting him as his limo comes under attack from Talon agents. If you listen carefully, you will hear him say things during the escort.
-"McCree? What kind of stupid name is that for a cowboy?"
-a line mentioning that he'd probably be at his destination already if the limo had real tires.
