Guy Gardner star admits he was concerned about the "consistency" of his character, as he knew there would be a "shift in tone" from Superman to Lanterns

1 Share

Following his long-awaited Lanterns episode, Guy Gardner actor Nathan Fillion has admitted that he was initially concerned about appearing in the new HBO show due to how different it is from Gardner's introduction to the DCU.

"My concern was consistency," said Fillion to Variety. "I knew there was going to be a shift in tone. What I didn’t want was for there to be a shift in the character himself." Fillion added that he was surprised he was even asked to make a cameo.

Fillion made his DCU: Chapter One debut as Guy in the much lighter 2025 movie Superman. However, the star found a way for Guy to fit into the gritty True Detective-style series. "I just likened it much to, if you were to spend a weekend in Metropolis, or spend a weekend in Gotham — you’d be the same person, but you’d have very different weekends," added Fillion.

After being absent for the first five episodes, Guy finally touches down in Rushville in episode 6. But before we saw the hero in the flesh, Fillion was able to hold onto the more comedic side of his bowl-cut-having character, as the first look came from a commercial cardboard cut-out in a grocery store. "That’s part of his schtick. He wants to not just be Green Lantern, but a famous Green Lantern," said Fillion.

Guy finally shows up after spotting the distress signal from Rushville. There, he visits Aaron Pierre's jailed John Stewart and frees him. Thanks to Superman being set around 9 years after Lantern's main 2016 timeline, we already knew that Gardner would eventually become the Green Lantern. However, it is confirmed that Guy took on the mantle after Stewart turned his back on the ring for good.

However, Guy Gardner's worlds will collide even further when he has to share the big screen with another Lantern in 2027 movie Man of Tomorrow. Pierre's John Stewart is set to appear in the Superman sequel alongside David Corenswet's Superman, Milly Alcock's Supergirl, and of course, Fillion's Guy Gardner. Adria Arjona will also join in on the fun in a mystery role, but we are almost certain she is playing Wonder Woman.

Lanterns continues to release weekly on HBO and HBO Max. For more, check out our breakdown of how to watch DC movies in order, and keep up with upcoming DC movies and shows on the way.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 60-series graphics cards could be sidelined until 2028, making it the longest gap between GPU generations in 20 years

1 Share

Nvidia GeForce RTX 60-series GPUs could break the company's release date rhythm, as rumors now point towards a 2028 release date. That's sure to be a bummer if you were holding out for next-gen options to serve as a sort of reset for current-generation creeping prices, but new graphics cards are perhaps the last thing we need right now.

The latest Nvidia GeForce RTX 6000 rumors come courtesy of renowned leaker kopite7kimi. In a fresh tweet, the insider says, "I hope Jensen can see everyone's passion and launch new products for gaming as soon as possible," before lamenting that, "Unfortunately, GR20x is a product from 2028." For you gaming PC players not well versed in chipset speak, that's a reference to the Rubin GPU set to power the next generation of graphics cards, which the leaker says have been "postponed again."

Graphics cards with less gruesome price tags

"Cheap" graphics cards are really hard to find these days, but if you want to avoid spending anywhere near $1,000, you'll need to stick with something like the AMD Radeon RX 9700, which you can grab for $579, or Nvidia's RTX 5070 when it's available for $549, but the latter is rarely the case at Amazon these days.

It's worth noting that Nvidia hasn't officially ever confirmed an RTX 60-series launch window. The delay kopite7kimi refers to is based on previous rumors suggesting the new graphics cards will launch in 2027, but it appears the insider whispers keep shifting. The leaker now says they will "try to minimize updates until there is definite news," while acknowledging that previous rumors are now discredited using a bracketed "lessons learned" to close things off.

If the new GeForce GPU timeline holds true, it will represent a shift in Nvidia's release patterns. Typically speaking, the company releases new gaming graphics cards every two years, with only a few months of difference in length between generations. For instance, Blackwell cards debuted in January 2025, 27 months after the 40-series Lovelace lineup arrived on the scene. 30-Series Ampere cards launched two years and one month before that, so we pretty much had a set rhythm in terms of releases. The longest wait between generations was previously between GeForce 8000 and GeForce 400 SKUs back in 2006.

Of course, that's ignoring the Super refresh cards that tend to show up mid-generation, and those could tie into the 60-series delay. Previous rumors claim new RTX 50 Super GPUs could show up in 2027, but they were originally meant to land in 2026. Effectively, the whole timeline is being shunted forward, and that's almost certainly due to the current situation with component shortages and resource allocation.

Make sure to pass round the grains of salt with this one, as Nvidia hasn't unveiled any of its next-gen GPU plans. However, I also reckon the old GPU release rhythm is dead and buried at this stage, given the company's new focus on non-gaming AI interests and the fact that demand for current-gen cards is very much still active. That said, in a world where datacentre builders are buying RTX 5090 graphics cards by the pallet, it feels like we sorely need a GPU that's exclusively for PC players, and if Nvidia isn't in a hurry, AMD should probably seize its chance with a new high-end contender.

Swing by the best CPU for gaming and best RAM if you're building or upgrading your rig.

WoW: Forever mentally broke me with a boulder

1 Share

WoW Forever is basically my first time experiencing Blizzard's MMO for a significant amount of time—that level 13 Paladin rotting away on my retail account for the last eight years doesn't count—and you know what? Even as someone who isn't rocking around Azeroth in rose-tinted glasses, I'm having a pretty sweet time.

I even surprised myself by how endeared I am to all its old-schoolness. I like that there's no globally shared tagging, even if that means you party with a handful of randoms for 10 seconds and never speak to them again. I've even been fine with its archaic gathering quests, where all of its nodes are server-side instead of client-side. Want to go and pick that cactus fruit, but some other player beats you to it? Well, it's gone now. Go and pick another one.

Well, I was fine with it anyway. That is until I arrived in Orgrimmar, the Horde's capital city. My initial arrival was dizzying, bearing witness to its densely-populated streets and rapid-fire global chat where recruitment messages are quickly buried by folks talking about how many rolls of toilet paper they go through each day. Yeah, I dunno either.

The Rocks to Rest quest in World of Warcraft: Forever

(Image credit: Blizzard)

I was having a lovely little time exploring, picking up just about every quest I could find. And then it happened. I innocently scooped up a quest called Rocks to Rest, tucked around the back of a building where a group of troll children are gathered.

Go and get some rocks so we can have chairs and tables, I'm ordered. Okay, easy enough. Right? WRONG.

Turns out that whimsical server-side gathering nodes become significantly less so when there are at least 10 of you vying for sporadically-spawning rocks. And you have to collect eight of the damn things. I scooped up my first one with relative ease, before the rest of my quest devolved into the chaos of rapidly swinging my camera around waiting for one to spawn, before watching everybody (me included) dash off in its direction for the hopes of being the chosen one who gets to loot it a millisecond before everybody else.

Now I've seen queues and orderly lines form for some of these quests, but Rocks to Rest? It's the wild west, baby. You snooze, you lose. I made the mistake of rotating my camera away from a rock that spawned directly behind me, and before I even had the chance to swing it back around and begin looting, I was beaten to the punch.

I was expecting a raid boss to be the thing that broke me. Maybe dying one too many times to a quest mob, or trying to navigate the game's multitude of systems as someone who has barely set foot in this world before. But no, it was a freaking boulder.
