This

Naw, when Stephen Fry does stuff like this and Pocoyo he should totally be credited as "British Guy."

Naw, when Stephen Fry does stuff like this and Twinings adverts he can be credited as "whore".

Eh, he's a popular voice actor, of course he's going to do (billions of) commercials. He might be a whore but that's his job. Kind of like complaining that a prostitute has sex for money, isn't it?

Complaining about prostitutes having sex for money isn't particularly controversial. To your point, he hasn't always been so over exposed. The pre-QI Stephen Fry of ten years ago had a lot of integrity.

Dude, fuck you and your "integrity". When has he ever done anything that would go against his values? Unless he did something like an ad for an anti-gay group how the fuck can he lose integrity by doing commercial work? Man needs to eat and he's still as intelligent and insightful as ever.

Judgmental little cunt.

Judgmental little cunt.

In one Twinings advert he was portrayed as a straight man in a heterosexual relationship while playing himself. He has mismanaged his image and lost a lot of respect with the gay community and other comedians. I'm only disappointed by him because his earlier work is so fantastic.

Why would you call me a cunt for having a contrary opinion to your own?

@richyeah: The first couple of series were fantastic but QI became macho, anti-intellectual, willy-waving due to awful guests and Fry's self-effacing attitude. Stephen Fry is more intelligent than most people and is at his best when capitalising on that fact. He allows the gusts on QI to snigger at and bully guests that try to express their intelligence. Jo Brand is one of the worst offenders. I have seen Brian Cox, Dara O'Briain and Hugh Dennis picked on for talking about subjects they know a lot about. That kind of guest is always met with school boy 'teacher's pet' accusations and braying idiocy.

I called you a cunt because you judge a man for making money in a way you don't see fitting of your image of him. He owes you nothing, yet you see fit to judge him from afar for not living his life the way you think is proper.

So he does nothing that is fantastic any more? The documentaries? The movies? His speeches? His books? And no matter what you think of QI, it has brought the joy of knowing back to a lot of people. Thinking all this is not fantastic is your (contrary) opinion. Questioning his integrity because he sees fit to make money in advertisements so he can do the things he enjoys makes you a judgmental cunt.

Your use of such disgusting language undermines your perfectly well argued point about the career of a great (but overexposed) man. I'm not sure why you decided to use such a defensive and combative tone. Maybe you are more accustomed to arguing on 4chan.

All of the people complaining about Ryan and Jeff's dismissal of Stephen Fry need to realize that they'd have no reason to know who he is! I'm British, but I live in the US and I can assure you that barely anyone here knows who he is. He is not famous here at all...

Everybody relax.

That's a great song in that first level.

Wow, didn't know Stephen Fry had an army of brave Internet warriors ready to defend his honour. Who gives a fuck about British celebrities anyway? You don't have an empire anymore, dear Brits, so if you expect the world to be familiar with all your beloved ones, the world demand you to come up with the top 10 celebritites in China at any given time whenever and wherever you feel offended because person x don't own and love everything Stephen Fry, or whomever, ever did.

Other than that, games can be ace, made in Britian or elsewhere.

A lot of Stephen Fry talk going on in here, and yes he is awesome, and he has made plenty of great, humorous and even educating shows. Seriously, QI is some of the best damn entertainment on TV these days.

And no, I'm not British, but I still love Stephen Fry and he is one of my favorite Brits.

The game looks like it has potential, but I'm not sold yet.

I got a beta key, but eh...idk...not a fan of the original game so...

@adamfedoruk: Yeppers

@Slayer78: Probably a fetish.

@Emperor_Jimmu: Nah, never been. I simply felt that the language was appropriate towards someone who was childish enough to basically say "he doesn't do what I want him to and that's why he sucks now, he used to be cool".

he is right though... you do come across as a judgmental cunt.

just how much exposure is one allowed before he is overexposed

Blizzard, the world is ready for a Rock N' Roll Racing sequel.

True, but he's a british humorist who works almost exclusively in the UK - the fact that he managed a 20-something year career before falling back on comedy panel shows and commercials is impressive and something of a rarity.

So the rocket hits people and the boxing glove makes you go faster?

Could be my memory is failing me but does that voice not sound like the voice from Dungeon Keeper to anyone else?

Edit: I looked it up and it's not as close as I thought it was hmm where do I know that voice from.

As good as game this may be, the combination of Modnation and LittleBigPlanet seems redundant. Both are heavily reliant on user-created content, one of them is already a kart racer. What does either franchise have to gain from their fusion? I fail see the reasoning behind this one, beyond the cynical approach of "let's get both audiences to buy our product".

@deathfromace: It's British comedy actor Stephen Fry.

Hug it out guys.

OH DUDE when he started racing and that anamanaguchi song kicked in I got such a fucking good vibe ugh I love that about these games

@The_Laughing_Man said:

Karting? Is this part of Mortal Kombat?

Dude I would so play Mortal karting. I imagine Rain would have the sickest cart.

YES! I was watching this QL and my wife chimes in "That song sounds familiar."

And I'm all, "It's Anamanaguchi. You've heard them when I listen to podcasts, on my Spotify, in my speed art videos, oh and this song is the ringtone for when my brother calls...when you call it plays Helix Nebula."

"Wow...so I didn't recognize the song, just your ambient nerdiness."

"Correct."

Pliss Snakeskin is amazing.

The minimap drawing in the bottom left-hand corner of the lava level is hilarious and incredible. A good use of the Microsoft Xbox 360 Kinect would be to have it sense your eyes, and hide the map and other hud elements when you are not looking at the designated corner(s) of the screen. I'm selling this idea for 9.99 + 1%.

Wow. This game is boring. Why does Sony feel the need to copy Nintendo?

You have to love stephen fly's voice.

@Deusoma: Eeeh yeah...by that same logic you are now judging me based on my opinion. You passive agressive little cunt. =P

Had a lot of fun playing Modnation Racers (except for its framerate) so excited for this. Already the framerate looks better.

I needs to play me some LittleBigPlanet 2 again.

So, LittleBigPlanet Karting Flight Club?

YO SACKBOY HIT DAT BIGASS RAMP!

... Is that a big band version of Anamanaguchi hear?

thats not just any "british guy". Its Stephen Fry! Quality stuff

@Rudeboy217: The world needs more Anamanaguchi.

Put out a new album, you bastards!

Truth be told, ol' Fry really oughta just introduce himself that way. Like a title.

Stephen Fry, British Guy.

"British Guy"?! Motherfucker, that is Stephen Fry.

That "British guy" is Steven Fry, a national treasure!

The fpa looks similar to the ones they have in lbp2

Anamanaguchi's Airbrushed is one of my favorite songs to play in Rock Band 3. Highly recommend it.

@adamfedoruk said:

That song on the Sack Francisco level is some Anamanaguchi song, right?

All of a sudden, Anamanaguchi. This game just improved (I still won't buy it).

But then it's a weird instrumental version. So they probably had to license the song and then re-record it with actual instruments.
