Michael Rooker Denies He’s Joining The Suicide Squad
UPDATE, May 12: Michael Rooker appears to have shot down the news that he's in talks to play King Shark in The Suicide Squad.
Rooker posted a screen grab of TheWrap's original report to his Instagram account with the caption, "DA...........NOT!!!"
The original story follows.
Michael Rooker, who has worked with James Gunn previously on both Guardians of the Galaxy films as Yondu Udonta, is in talks to join Gunn's The Suicide Squad as King Shark.
As reported by TheWrap, Rooker would portray the supervillian who was created by Karl Kesel in 1994 and is the son of Chondrakha, the God of all Sharks. He was originally introduced as a Superboy villain and "has been a member of the Secret Six, the Secret Society of Super-Villains and the Suicide Squad."
Wolfenstein: Youngblood Has Level Design Similar to Dishonored
Wolfenstein: Youngblood, according to executive producer Jerk Gustafsson, will feature level design similar to the Dishonored series and will contain more activities and side-missions than previous Wolfenstein titles.
Via GamingBolt, Gustafsson spoke to the Official PlayStation Magazine in the July 2019 issue to discuss these changes.
“I think players will see a lot of similarities to level design in the Dishonored games," Gustafsson said. "So in that sense it can be a little bit different as an experience but it can be for the benefit of the game, especially when it comes to finding different ways of approaching a combat scenario or a mission in general.”

A few years ago, high-end smartphones cost less than $800. Now, top-end phones will run you $1,000 or more, many of which still lack easily replaceable batteries and other parts—meaning you’ll probably be buying another one in a couple years. If you just can’t stomach the eye-popping prices of today’s flagships, budget smartphones are the perfect alternative to keep you connected and your wallet happy.
Ghost Recon Breakpoint Will Be on Epic Games Store, Not Steam
Ubisoft has said that Ghost Recon Breakpoint will not be available on Steam when it launches in October. Instead, it will be available only on Ubisoft’s own Uplay client and the Epic Games Store.
Ubisoft confirmed the situation to PCGamesN. For Ubisoft PC fans, this won’t come as a huge surprise; the company’s last two games, Anno 1800 and The Division 2, have both been absent from Steam. While their presence on Uplay means they’re not exactly Epic Games Store exclusives, the EGS is the only non-Ubisoft client where the game can be played.

Then we put 'em all to the tune of the classic PokéRap from the glory days of the anime, performed by IGN's resident beat-dropper extraordinaire Tom Jorgensen.
