Tim Schafer and Jack Black, Talkin' Trash

I just realized that one of these guys is totally funnier than the other one.

I like jack black when he's in movies/games or whatever where his script is mostly made for him. I also enjoy Tenacious D from time to time. But when he does stuff like this vid it makes me shake my head in shame.

Jack Black kinda reminds me of a combination of Macho Man Randy Savage and Wayne Campbell in this vid.

@day2daze:

That's why I used the word "basicly". It's obviously a Tim Schafer game, I never said the contrary, as I am his fan. But from what he said I can tell that Black probably had quite a role in the ultimate feeling of the game (which makes sense, 'cause he is a gamer). Just look at the trailers - this game obviously meens something to Black, he put a chunk of himself in it and probably it would be completely different (maybe even worse) if he had no part in its creation. Summarizing, I consider people trash-talking about him kinda weird, as they are obviously buying a Tim Schafer game with a small part of Black's soul.

Also, I'm tired of people blasting him 'bout those ads, as Schafer himself spoke that those are not marketing stunts but conscious decisions by the team regarding the game's feel.

About YT - I don't really care if a moron is having an erection because someone blasted him in the comments. I consider such people pathetic losers and that's why I'm still posting at YT comments.

Hey. Let's ALL shut the fuck up - today's a BRUTALLY LEGENDARY day.

Half tuck? To the next level, five and a half tuck! Haha. That made me kinda laugh, since I read Tims blog about it. Or was it some other blog? Anyway, it was this lengthy blog about Drakes rebellious instinct and still being a gentleman, which made him tuck his shirt, but only half of it.

i'm glad tim and jack met though. Judging by all these internet fumes, Jack could definately use some one elses writing, some one more funny right now . I think people just got too much of him, and no he's not the most talented actor. He went from overated to under appreciated. Hmm, when is it that guy Ferrell's turn? How many numb nut movies has he done, all being the same, exact fucking character... every single movie, every line, it's like i've heard it somewhere before.. Why the hell is that guy even funny? He sold his soul my friends... made a deal. There's no other explanation to his phenomenon of hyseteria through totally predictable and conventinal, every-day-jack character portrayl in our media. John C. Reily is far and away, every front, the better actor..the better comedien. But why do we worship certain actors? Is the devil in the dreamin?

@Ghostiet: 
Co creating? ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
 
This is a TIM SCHAFER game, (see front cover). Eddie Riggs is completely a schafer character...all his.. even if his voice sounds like this little hollywood comedian we all know. If you want proof, look at Bill the biker, like someone said earlier yes, look at hoagie. It's more then apparent- he's always wanted to create a completely metal game and so has made do with these 'metal' characters... until NOW...
 
Much like the director of a movie will 'kindly' consider actor feedback, any ideas Mr. Black had were most likely considered, hell maybe even made the final cut, but don't expect this game to not be 95% Tim's. Much like  say the nightmare before christmas was 95% Tim's (the other twisted-minded Tim...), even with someone else directing. It's really very rudimentery. You get an idea, a strong idea for some kind of alternative universe and you see CLEARLY, exactly how it should play out. Very little can someone else sway that original, clearly defined (in your head) vision...certainly not jack black to tim schafer...maybe einstein could...  . And jesus, turn off the youtube for five seconds. Some1 always gotta hav a utube vid for everything....your just giving the cunt-face attention he REALLY doesn't need, eventually he'll shut up and go through those long silent years he desperatley needs.

That's why you're buying a game he's voicing and basicly co-creating!

Yeah, but you gotta give credit to that kid because he can't be older then 10 years and he knows that Jack Black IS NOT cool.

Lets all hate on Jack Black because that's the hip, cool, thing to do these days and if we do it we'll all seem less conformist and totally outlaw.

Jack Black has really put on some muscle for his role as Eddie Riggs.
 
The weirdest part is, he's just voice-acting.

I don't get all the nerds crying about Jack Black. He might not be the funniest man alive but he is still funny, and being geniunely into this game makes him more awesome than than the million douches just yapping away at game conventions about 'how excited they are for this new game'.
 
I hope Brutal Legend is a hit to prove that original games that are made with true love for video games can sell, and that the only way to make money isnt to rehash the same shit over and over again to appeal to the kiddies.

Jack Black dressed as a game character modeled after himself is one of the best things ever. Even if what he does in it is the opposite of funny... just being dressed like that is solid gold!

none of these promotions seem to do the game justice. judging from the "first 20 minutes" video on giantbomb, this game looks spectacular. maybe not as good as some of the games they're riffing on here, but really good nonetheless.
