    I love Jack Black. God he's doing all he can to promote the game and he's enjoying it, and being really funny as usual #brutallegend

    Even though the world seems to be hating Jack Black for some reason, I can never help but laugh my balls off every time the guy comes on screen, after all these years he still cracks me the Hell up!

    Tropic Thunder is a great example of Jack Black being ridiculously funny (though I guess you have to have that sense of humour).

    Jack Black seems to be getting a lot of hate from the net in general, but I still love the man. He is consistantly funny, and truly appreciates the only pure form of music, METAAAAAL

    That was very entertaining, but that's to be expected. Jack Black always cracks me up.

    It's nice to see video games mentioned in shows other than just Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

    Gotta give it to Jack Black, he is promoting the video game as hard as he would a movie release. Can't say as I have seen many games with the stars in them dedicate themselves as much as he has to promoting the release.

    Come to think of it, I can't think of too many movie stars that are in games as the central character till now. I give it a good chance we will see more Hollywood big name actors taking central roles in big budget games just as they would in say, an animated movie.

    Actually pretty much all games before the 8-bit era did totally suck. There are some rare exceptions like the old dedicated pong units, but inferior controllers made anything on the atari and c64 virtually unplayable and 4-bit graphics are so low in resolution that it's impossible to understand what is going on in anthying but the simplest of games. (See adventure for and "adventure" in "wtf is that squiggly dot?")

    And no, I'm not 19, I'm 30, so I was around back then.

    @HowardC: C64? Unplayable? I mean, the keyboard was crap, but unplayable is a bit much.

    The graphics we're borderline on par with the NES, and easily on par with the Sega Master System. Some games even looked like early Genesis stuff.

    In reply to Jack Black Talks Gaming, Giving Devs the Finger
    Brutal Legend is the biggest paradox of my entire gaming life. I can't stand metal, not even a tiny bit. I think Jack Black is about as funny as getting a cleat to the sack. But I held strong to my faith in Tim Schafer, who hasn't made a bad game yet. And I was not disappointed. Every video, every inside look, everything pointed to me not liking this game at all. The demo calmed my fears quite a bit and it just gets better from there.

    Do not judge this game as harshly as I almost did. Get past the things you think aren't very good and you'll almost certainly love it. Schafer deserves a hit, and this game is worthy of being a hit. At least rent the sucker.

    I don't know why, but when people refer to beating a game as "conquering" it, it makes me want to throw something.

    @hot_heart: Haha it's such a crude translation too.

    Venati is "game" but more like Deer/Buck game.

    Oculi Vomacai is "eye ulcer" (gets the point across)

    The only thing I'm 100% is Vici because it's direct from the original quite.

    Meanwhile at Bizarre Creations...

    "DAMMIT!"

    "What's up, Doug?"

    "Jack Black just sent us a picture of him flipping the bird..."

    "So what? He does that sort of thing."

    "...in front of his TV showing Platinum Medals for everything in PGR2!"

    "...Oh that son of a bitch!"

    "Quick! Get R&D on the phone and schedule an emergency meeting. We're going to show that asshole who's boss!"

    Man, it'd be awesome if that's how things worked when someone mails in proof that they conquered your game.
