Wow... I. | |
That's awesome and i can admire anyone who takes their time and keeps their patience in tact long enough to complete a very difficult gaming challenge. They may have taken it wrong and trashed it | |
Jack Black is les awesome pies ^^15. of rocktober its out here in norway WANT IT NOW!!!! | |
Jack Black is awesome because he truly is one of us, the only difference is he does the things we want to do. | |
"I loved Psychonauts, it was one of my favorite games ever. I was looking to work with him, so it was weird he was working on a heavy metal game. Because I am so heavy metal. I think it was written in the stars, the planets." Only Jack Black can talk like that and get away. | |
Well, he's definitely a gamer. That's for sure :) | |
I would have never guessed Jack Black was such a gamer. I can tell he likes this game a lot. | |
Jack Black is cool. I hope I'll be a heavy metal musician/gamer when I grow up. | |
Double Fine should hold a contest for whoever can send them the best flip off photos to them(with proof that they beat Brutal Legend in the background of course). | |
+19 Awesome Points Jack, you're super fantastical awesome. :] | |
Because he is so heavy metal. I mean... c'mon bro. KICKAPOO! | |
THIS holy hell that would be a great contest, imagine a seven year old beating it on Brutal difficulty before you even beat it on normal......... talk about brutal. | |
Somehow i get the feeling hes been paid to say this, it just sounds too convienent him saying it straight after the games release and all, for advertising purposes. But thats just me being a jerk./takes of conspiracy cap either way +20 interwebs for you good sir, jack. | |
Jack Black is freakin' awesome... | |
You know what? I'd like to do that to Infinity Ward and Treyarch. GODDAMN THAT VETERAN MODE | |
Exactly. I wish I could play in a band and sing all about Lee. | |
Fixed that for you. I love PGR, don't get me wrong, but that is just sheer epic win right there. Jack Black, you are awesome sauce incarnate. Can I spread your awesome sauce on my toast please? That was pretty damn cool :D | |
I doubt he's getting paid for that directly, but the game's success is his success. If the game does well, it's a bigger chance of getting high profile work in the future. Despite that, I think he's mostly being sincere. Schafer must be a delight to work with. | |
that's pretty darn awesome and cool. i can think of a few games i'd like to do that with | |
. . . Wow. +1 Jack Black. You earned it. | |
Jack Black is just awesome. And so is Brutal Legend. | |
Damn, I should have done this when I completed the meat circus in Psychonauts. Just proves how good a game it was that I punished myself endlessly to get to the end. Not sure I could flip the bird at Tim freaking Schafter though. | |
That is the coolest thing I've ever seen him do. | |
Holy Rock N' Roll Jesus... Jack is BADASS! | |
Six words: I want to see that picture.
Agreed, though I haven't been able to do much of what I want. One of the major downsides of college, the other being the cost if you don't get scholarships to cover it. | |
I used to hate Jack Black. He is cool in my book now. | |
ALL HAIL JACK!!! | |
Those type of people never grow up, that's the secret. | |
Holy shit, I thought he was bullshiting, HE LIKES PYSCHONAUTS GIVE HIM CAKE DAMN IT! | |
He gets paid for it by the future attention he will attract with this in the airwaves. He is being Jack Black. He would have to be paid to be someone else. I await when photoshops start appearing on the internet mimicing his infamous flipoff photo. And you can bet someone at Bizarre Creations saved it. Probably is sitting on a mantlepiece or in a safe if it's a family person. Pull it out, set it out for a bit, and pat themselves on the back for giving the Jack Black that much gamefrustration. | |
/A-FUCKING-MAZING lol best thing ever | |
w-wow! I mean I liked him before but now...wow! Cool! | |
One more reason to love Jack Black. | |
I want it to be true so hard that I am going to ignore that you said that, except for this quote... *concentrates very, very hard. Hard enough to refocus reality* There. It's real and genuine now. And... I have cancer now, damn. | |

Jack Black Flipped Off Bizarre Creations Over PGR
Actor/musician Jack Black is a gamer, too. With today's release of Brutal Legend, he shared some of his gaming memories, like why he sent a picture of himself flipping the bird to Project Gotham developer Bizarre Creations.
In case you haven't been paying attention to, um, just about anything on this site for the past eighteen hours, heavy metal fantasy adventure Brütal Legend came out in North America today. If you were wondering, we quite liked it. And so did actor-musician Jack Black, the voice of protagonist Eddie Riggs, who told USA Today's Game Hunters that it was currently his favorite game at the moment.
Now, voicing the main character probably doesn't hurt Black's love for the game, but he also says that he's been a long-time fan of Tim Schafer's: "I loved Psychonauts, it was one of my favorite games ever. I was looking to work with him, so it was weird he was working on a heavy metal game. Because I am so heavy metal. I think it was written in the stars, the planets."
Black, who says he has been gaming since he was a wee lad who encountered Space Invaders next to the pinball machines at restaurants, prefers a mix of thinking and action to either extreme (no Myst, but more than a "mindless point and shoot). And the gaming achievement he's most proud of? Besting Project Gotham Racing once and for all:
Please tell me somebody at Bizarre Creations saved that.
