Update: Borderlands Actor Says Gearbox CEO Should Fact Check Tweets
Update 04/18/19: Troy Baker has said that he "would love to come back" to play Rhys in Borderlands 3, and suggested that Gearbox Software CEO Randy Pitchford should "fact-check" his tweets.
Following on from Pitchford's claims that Baker turned down the part of Rhys in the upcoming game, Troy Baker has clarified his position in an interview with OnlySP: “I said I would love to come back,” he said. “They
said I’m not coming back.”
“Their timeline tells an interesting story," he adds, in reference to comments from Gearbox. "I think it’s interesting that Randy Pitchford tweeted out that I turned it down, and then he said he heard that I turned it down. I would fact check before I tweeted out to the internet.”
Netflix’s Flinch Gets a Wacky New Trailer
Netflix has a new game show that puts its contestants in some pretty wacky situations. Premiering on May 3, Flinch "is a game show where contestants are put in situations where they are tempted to flinch.

The streaming giant is comparing Flinch to similar reality shows like Impractical Jokers, Fear Factor, and Jackass. Hosted by Desiree Burch, Lloyd Griffith, and Seann Walsh, the 10-episode season will feature popping balloons, dangerous mousetraps, and many more frightening things that may cause the contestants to flinch.
