After 13 years, it has finally been revealed that Tennis star Andy Roddick was the sperm donor that Jan Levinson used to get pregnant on The Office. As reported by EW, Jenna Fischer (Pam Beesly) and Angela Kinsey (Angela Martin) shared this behind-the-scenes story on their Office Ladies podcast while discussing the season four finale "Goodbye Toby." [caption id="attachment_251091" align="aligncenter" width="720"] Image Credit: The Office via Peacock[/caption] In the original script for the episode, Kinsey explained how this cut scene would have played out and how Jan would have told Michael Scott that Roddick was the sperm donor and father of Astrid Levinson. "The tennis player?" Michael asked. "Well, it's a little more than that. He's the sixth-ranked player in the world and he's won four grand slams," Jan responds. 'That's a lot of grand slams, I guess," says Michael. Jan then continues to tell him that "he's a humanitarian — something with orphans." Michael and Jan would have sat in silence for a moment, and then Michael would ask, "can I just sit here for a minute without more things coming into my head?" [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/01/01/the-top-10-office-episodes-of-all-time"] The scene unfortunately did not make it past the editing room, and this bit of The Office lore had been hidden away since the episode aired in 2008. Fischer continued by saying that Roddick was a good friend of Rainn Wilson (Dwight Schrute) and would frequently visit the set during filming. "I have to imagine that the reason they wrote it as being Andy Roddick's sperm was a little bit of a nod to Andy, who has an amazing sense of humor. I am so sad for his sake that this did not stay in the episode," Fischer said.

The Witcher 3's PS5 and Xbox Series X/S next-gen upgrade may be implementing fan-made mods like The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project when it launches later this year. As reported by Kotaku, The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project's creator Halk Hogan announced that he has been in talks with CD Projekt Red about including his mod in the upcoming release. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/04/02/the-future-of-cyberpunk-2077-the-witcher-on-ps5-xbox-series-x-next-gen-console-watch"] "Hello my dear friends! It’s been a long time since the last video," Hogan wrote. "I know I announced a new HDRP preview in early March but I was silent the whole time. Sorry for that. But in return, I have some good news, and the reasons why I was quiet and why I don’t have too much to show. "I think the most important news is that I got an official message from CDPR about cooperation. While it’s not certain yet, it’s very likely that HDRP will be included in the official next generation update. I will inform you what’s next. As always, I would like to thank you for all your support and kind words. The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project, which you can download now on NexusMods, has over 4.1 million downloads and "aims to improve the graphics by reworking models and textures to better quality." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2016/01/08/the-witcher-3-is-igns-game-of-the-year-2015"] Kotaku reached out to CDPR about this matter, and it responded by saying, "In addition to our own development efforts on the upcoming next-gen version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5 and PC, we are also in talks with the creators of various mods for the 2015 release of the game." CDPR confirmed there are currently no "binding agreements with any such party," but the discussions are happening. This would be another example of a AAA developer using the community to improve their games, much like Rockstar Games did when they implemented a fan-made solution to reduce GTA Online's loading screen time by 70%. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/12/31/the-best-games-of-the-ps4xbox-one-generation"] The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions are currently scheduled to be released in the second half of 2021.

Sebastian Stan and Lily James look uncanny as Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson in the first images for the Hulu comedy, Pam and Tommy. The TV series is focused on the real-life story of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee's sex tape. According to Variety the comedy also includes Seth Rogen as Rand Gauthier, the man who stole and sold the sex tape. Nick Offerman, Taylor Schilling, Andrew Dice Clay, and more round out the cast. Rogen posted the first images of the main trio on his personal Twitter account and they need to be seen to be believed. Stan, fresh off his stint as Bucky Barnes in Disney Plus' Falcon and The Winter Soldier has shed some muscles and put on tattoos to become the musician Tommy Lee. And Lily James is a spitting image of Pamela Anderson.

My co-stars, Sebastian and Lily, are a lot cooler than I am. #PamandTommy pic.twitter.com/r8YWh1eBuJ

— Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) May 7, 2021

Rogen, who is also dressed in character, joked "My co-stars, Sebastian and Lily, are a lot cooler than I am." Neither Anderson nor Lee is involved in Hulu's comedy series. In fact, Hulu is working on a few other projects about real people including boxer Mike Tyson, a project the real Tyson has called "tone-deaf." If you're keen on checking out the cast in other projects, Falcon and the Winter Soldier concluded its first season a few weeks ago. Meanwhile, James is best known for her roles in shows like Downton Abbey and films like The Darkest Hour. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Matt T.M. Kim is IGN's News Editor.

Alison Brie and Aubrey Plaza are set to reteam for another indie comedy titled Spin Me Round, per Deadline. The film will be directed by Jeff Baena from a script co-written by Baena and Brie. Brie will play a manager of an Italian eatery in Bakersfield, California who wins a trip to Florence, Italy. Given the chance to meet the restaurant chain's owner, the expedition takes an unexpected direction when she winds up with a group of other American franchise managers. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2017/06/27/the-little-hours-trailer-1"] Alessandro Nivola will play the owner of the company, with Molly Shannon and Lil Rel Howery also attached for starring roles. The cast will also feature Fred Armisen, Tim Heidecker, Ayden Mayeri, Ego Nwodim, Jake Picking, Debby Ryan, Ben Sinclair, Lauren Weedman, and Zach Woods. Brie and Plaza last teamed on 2017's medieval comedy The Little Hours, which Baena also directed. More recently, Brie starred in the Netflix original Horse Girl, which she co-wrote and produced with Baena, and had a supporting role in the Best Picture nominee Promising Young Woman. Meanwhile, Plaza has starred in films like the romantic comedy Happiest Season, Black Bear, and the 2019 reboot of Child's Play. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=2021-movies-preview&captions=true"] Additionally, Plaza and Baena had much more than a new film announced to the world today. Plaza revealed that her and Baena are now married through a new Instagram post in which she referred to the director as her "darling husband." The actress' rep later confirmed the news to People. The two have been together since 2011. In our review of The Little Hours, IGN gave the film a 6, saying it "succeeds on the talents of its cast members" while being "a one-note film that plays out its joke over and over again."

Days Gone is the latest PlayStation exclusive to head to the PC. Today, developer Bend Studio has shared some details about what settings players can expect to find on the PC version. Unfortunately, Days Gone on PC will not support DLSS or ray tracing. In an FAQ for Days Gone's PC version, Bend revealed that the upcoming PC release will not support Nvidia's Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) technology which uses deep learning to upscale lower-resolution images in real-time. It's a pretty cool bit of tech that increased frame rate substantially depending on the game. Likewise, ray-tracing won't be supported on PC either meaning the powerful light rendering techniques in new-gen systems will be absent on PC for Days Gone. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/03/25/days-gone-story-trailer"] However, Days Gone will boast a bunch of customizable options for PC. Everything from an increased level of detail, foliage draw distance, shadow quality, renders, textures, Field of View, and more will be scalable to varying degrees. Days Gone also supports 60 FPS or unlocked framerate as well as ultra-wide monitor support. PlayStation's last PC port, Horizon Zero Dawn, also lacked ray tracing and DLSS support, which was notable because Horizon ran on the Decima engine. The same engine Kojima Productions used for Death Stranding, which supported DLSS on PCs. Still, despite some framerate issues which were patched, Horizon Zero Dawn's visuals on PC were applauded and the added power will likely help Days Gone when it makes its way over to PC later this month. The Days Gone series has reportedly been put on something of a back-burner after reports came out saying a sequel was shelved. Days Gone's director has said if players want a sequel, they should purchase games at full price. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Matt T.M. Kim is IGN's News Editor.
