Fear and Loathing in Hyrule

Wow, did people actually watch this? I just saw the pic and assumed it was horrible...I was just amused by the idea, not the video that I envisioned would follow that preview pic. Would work great as a webcomic, thats why funny cat pix can actually work (The Fear And Loathing Ones I've seen have been classic funny, and not annoyingly misspelled for the most part), but videos of cats with people narrating mostly suck. I'll continue to spare myself the experience of watching the video, based on the majority reactions here ;)

Employing filters even on Kotaku...damn I'm cynical :P

Wow THAT SUCKED ASS. They quote a great movie and put
video game shit in, then add a horrible voice actor. HMMMMM Yeah . COME ON.

@Anthropomancer: No, it's like the Bat Signal for some of us weirdos.

Anyway, that was great on some levels, but I agree with the people saying the voice acting wasn't good enough. It needed more spirit and rage.

That was awful. I like Fear and Loathing, but there was nothing funny about it. Worse than the stupid final boss video yesterday. Definitely not worth sitting through a stupid Dell commercial either.

Poor video. February 20th is coming. I don't know which is more depressing. Just remember:

I got bored after a few seconds there. Bad voice actor ftl, as everyone else has said.

Voice acting can make it or break it

i loved that movie so much, that i actually found this border line offensive...

the voice (as everyone was saying) stunk, and i thought some of what they did (didnt bother seeing the whole thing) was kind of obvious.

quick question: was i the only one who at first thought that there might be some 8-bit side scroller fear and loathing game coming out?

i think the combo of gta 2 with drugs and with tons of references to the book could be potentially decent...imo

I couldn't get past the unenthusiastic voice acting. It sounded like the guy was reading a book to a bunch of children, and half embarrassed to do the proper voices.

Weak video is Weak.

Also, does it impress anyone else that they had the balls to make over 50% of the video into ads? Why even report on this?

@Scum2k1: I kind of felt the same way... It started off decent with the loads of stuff in the trunk and the fairy/ether comparison, but it just stopped short.

Also, his "Raoul Duke" impression sucked.

@NaryaMithrandir:

Try the book instead, I liked it much more than the movie (mostly because I couldn't understand what the hell Depp was saying half the time). Hunter Thompson is a great author. Raoul Duke all the way.

Thumbs down. Stop posting these.

Personally, I hated Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. So this didn't bring on any lol's.=/
And the voice actor didn't help much either.

Would've been better if they referred to the bats by their Zelda name: Keese. And the voice acting was pretty damn flat.

It's just a shame that they didn't have Mario as Dr Gonzo. Besides the obvious resemblance, the man eats mushrooms to power up, for god's sake.
