Colbert Enlists Lord British To Save Universe From His Balls

Mike Fahey — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 10:40:00 EDT

Well damn. First the Harmonix folks don't actually make it onto their promised appearance on The Colbert Report, and now Lord "Richard Garriott" British's appearance is actually just a phone call from Russia, where he is preparing a knapsack full of DNA to bring with him on his historic journey into space.

Lord British Visits The Colbert Report

Mike Fahey — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 14:00:00 EDT

There certainly is a large amount of gaming news relating to Comedy Central's cartoon character Stephen Colbert floating about these days, isn't there? While we eagerly await the announcement of the world's first video game based on a fake news personality, Stephen himself will be hobbing knobs with none other than game industry legend and Keeper of the Sacred Rattails Lord "Richard Garriott" British. British will be appearing on The Colbert Report this evening to discuss Operation Immortality, his DNA in space project that will eventually result in an evil Crecente clone army taking over the known universe. Luckily for us the question of "How do you really get to know a universe?" is still very much up in the air. Way up. More »

Stephen Colbert Hits Rock Band

Mike Fahey — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 10:40:00 EDT

Oh Stephen Colbert, is there anything you can't do? TV personality, actor, author, presidential candidate, and of course, 80's rock icon, or at least Harmonix seems to think so. They've just released a new free song for Rock Band, featuring a flashback to Stephen's earlier years when he was the front man for Stephen and the Colberts. The band's hit single "Charlene (I'm Right Behind You)" is an epic ballad of unrequited love, more unrequited love, and what a man must do in the face of so much unrequited love, and it is now available for free via Xbox Live. Didn't have time to check the PlayStation 3, but I'm sure it'll make it up there as well if it hadn't already. While you wait to try and mimic Stephen's dulcet tones, we present you with the music video for the song, which we've placed after the jump in order to minimize screaming and swooning. More »

Colbert Crew Shoots Down WoW Immortality

Michael McWhertor — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 20:40:20 EDT

Funnyman, warrior-poet and host of The Colbert Report Stephen Colbert was this close to being immortalized in collectible trading card by artist Todd Lockwood. Unfortunately, it would appear that Colbert will have to settle for a television show and best-selling book, as the World of Warcraft card from Upper Deck featuring "Stefen Colbear" doesn't look like it will see commercial release, in spite of its brilliance.

Gamecock Endorses Colbert For President

Mike Fahey — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 12:20:39 EST

Stephen Colbert might have been turned down by South Carolina Democrats, but there is one group that vows to stand by their man's run in the 2008 presidential election. Those wacky guys at Gamecock Media have come forth publicly to offer Colbert their support.

"After conducting extensive polling and scrutinizing all the candidates' stances on various issues, we came to the conclusion that Stephen Colbert has shown strong leadership and best represents the interests of the video game playing community," said Gamecock CEO and Grand Champeen Mike Wilson. "Stephen Colbert had Will Wright on his show and he pummeled Nancy Pelosi's Mii in Wii Boxing. These decisive actions have earned our vote."

The press release goes on to call Colbert funnier than Clinton and Romney, which is a point I can't really argue. More »

Will Wright To Appear On Colbert Report

Michael McWhertor — Tue, 28 Nov 2006 22:20:01 EST

brownlee — Fri, 23 Jun 2006 14:40:09 EDT

1UP got their hands on Stephen Colbert's announcement of his new game, World of Colbertcraft, originally scheduled for the Mi6 Conference in San Francisco next week. They edited it down to 15 seconds of funny... or, if not funny, at least mildly amusing. If only someone would do this for everything Colbert does. Florian Eckhardt More »
