Jack Black Cosplays Brutal Legend at MTV Awards

[Lord Mountbatten Reborn]

I like celebrities admitting they like things like gaming. Makes them seem a little less prick like and a little more likable. (No reference to this particular celebrity)

However I hate it when they do it to try and look popular with people who really do enjoy gaming. For example, when they name-drop without seeming to know anything else about it, or even worse, when they mention a particular aspect of the game which the game has never had.

Jack Black has officially won an extra brownie point with me!

 

[CD-R]

Hearing this makes me want the game so much more.
You got to love Jack Black.

Only 29 more days till Rocktober 13. And only 3 more days till the demo comes out. Fuck Yeah!!!!!!!!

ACTIVISION TRIED TO STOP THE METAL!!!!
BUT THEIR CEO!!!!!!!!!!
WASN'T STRONG ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you don't mind me asking, is the demo for ps3 as well?

Yes

 

[Fightgarr]

The thing is, with this kind of promotion, I have a hard time seeing Brutal Legend selling poorly. I think that Brutal Legend is just the push Double Fine needs to really get going. I'm picturing at least decent sales for Brutal Legend.

Jack Black has always been pretty laid back and open, hell he even uses public transport! Name me another celebrity that does that on a regular basis.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

Blessed be the Blackiest of Jacks. As unfortunate as it is that not many of his movie roles are very notable, he still kicks ass, which is more than I can say for Tim Robbins, who was, if I'm not mistaken, his mentor(-ish type person) at some point.

I like how Schafer has really been covering all of the bases as far as advertising goes. Making sure this doesn't turn into the marketing disaster that was Psychonauts.

Get that money Tim.

 

[cobra_ky]

stupid kanye west. THIS is what the media should be focusing on.

 

[Doug]

Y'know, that's why I like Jack Black.

Really looking forward to this game.

Me too. Not a massive fan of Jack Black, but I respect a guy who doesn't look down on games as just a quick buck for voice work.

 

[ae86gamer]

I like Jack Black, and this just made me like him even more.

 

[Proteus214]

The fake muscles are loltastic.

Ever since Psychonauts, I've been a Tim Schafer fan, so I really hope this game does well. I'll certainly look forward to more games by Double Fine if Brutal Legend is a success.

Though it is amusing to imagine Tim Schaefer strapping an electric collar to Jack Black's neck in order to shock him if he doesn't comply.

Hmmm... I would expect the shock collar treatment more from Peter Molyneux than Tim Schafer. At least Schafer can DELIVER on his promises of great games.

Even though more people probably played Fable 2 than Psychonaughts.

Well, that's what happens when most independent studios launch a game (their FIRST game, even) vs. a Microsoft owned studio like Lionhead. And just because a game has been played by more people doesn't quite mean that its better. It just means it used better advertising to hook us in. I probably only saw one ad for Psychonauts, compared to the massive ads for Fable. But I've heard more complaints and disappointed comments about Fable from friends and fellow gamers than I ever did with Psychonauts. To me, that signifies that we should be supporting more indie developers...

Er, I'm ranting over a friendly (I assume) comment. Definitely time to stop. JACK BLACK RULES!!!!

Im just pointing that out. I loved Psychonaughts.

 

[Armored Prayer]

I cant wait for the game!

Were can I get me some of those fake muscles?

Well, this, and the fact that Pyschonaut's publisher screwed up massively.

And as you can probably tell by my above rant, so do I!. LMAO

Valid point my good sir.
