Live-Actions DC Series Titans Casts Beast Boy
The voice of Hiro Hamada is becoming a different hero, as Ryan Potter has been announced to play Beast Boy in DC's live-action Titans series.
WB has revealed that the Big Hero 6 actor will play Garfield "Gar" Logan in the series, which is set to debut in 2018 on DC's upcoming digital streaming service. Gar contracted the lethal Sakutia disease while in Africa with his geneticist parents.
He survived thanks to an experimental drug, but the effects included his skin and hair turning green, while gaining the ability to turn into any animal he can think of.

Wrestling Wrap Up: Kane is Back to Avenge The Undertaker
Someone call up Knox County, Tennessee (1-800-555-KNOX?), or Mike Knox, or someone (Brodus Clay's mother?) and let them know we've got their prim and proper Mayoral candidate. He's off his leash and running around the neighbors' yards. Most notably, the yard of "Big Dog" Roman Reigns, who hates it when people step foot in his yard and yard around with their yard-ness.
Now, here's the deal. I enjoy Kane. I don't always enjoy Kane, but he's an icon and one of the most underrated performers in the company. Underrated though because, basically, we've just seen too damn much of him. The same can be said of Ziggler and others who've just been on out TV consistently for too long. It's the downside of having too many hours of wrestling to fill. No one every goes away until we've long-since wanted them to go away.
The Walking Dead: Why Daryl Wants to “Burn Everybody Down”
Warning: Spoilers for AMC's The Walking Dead through Season 7...
Daryl Dixon went to hell and back in The Walking Dead's seventh season. Held prisoner by Negan for a long stretch, and feeling guilty for the death of Glenn, Daryl found himself in a dark place, that star Norman Reedus agrees was "emotionally wrecking" to portray.
IGN had the chance to visit the set of The Walking Dead back during production of Season 8 - which premieres Sunday, October 22nd -- and talk to Reedus about Daryl rebuilding himself from last season's dark patch and his newfound need for blood. "
wants revenge," Reedus said of the character's Season 8 arc. "He's just seeing red right now. He’s going through this whole thing, feeling the guilt and realizing Glenn wouldn’t have wanted him to give up like that and he’s fighting for himself, and the people that he loves, and the people that have gone before him. So, he just wants f***ing revenge now. I don’t think there’s anybody to talk him out of what he wants to do."
Why Gone Home Creator Left BioShock Infinite Development
Before creating Gone Home, Steve Gaynor worked at Irrational Games on BioShock Infinite, but left during development. Speaking to IGN, Gaynor discussed why he decided to leave the large-scale project in favor of returning home to Portland and founding his own development studio, Fullbright.
"I had worked on Infinite for a year and I knew it was gonna be another good year-plus before it came out," he said on the latest episode of our monthly interview show IGN Unfiltered, noting he and his wife had never lived in New England before, so working in Boston at Irrational was a new experience for them.
9 Insane Tricks Used By Mario 64 Speedrunners
Super Mario 64 will always be remembered as one of the games that ushered in the 3D era. But beneath the surface of this masterpiece is a web of glitches and skips that make the game a joy to speedrun. Here are some of the most mind-bending moments you’ll ever see a speedrunner do in Super Mario 64.
The first glitch comes within seconds of starting the game. Mario springs from the green pipe and is told to run inside the castle. While crossing the bridge, Lakitu will come down one more time to talk to Mario once again, explaining how to use your camera. This gets you to the castle about 10 seconds slower, which may not seem like a lot, but to speed runners, every second counts, especially this early on. To shave off those precious seconds, stay as far to the left on the bridge guard rail to skip this cutscene.
