The Giant Bomb movies & TV bubble (aside from Alex at least) continues on. Louie Anderson has remained busy, especially on the FX series Baskets throughout its four-season run, playing the mother (yes, he was in drag) of the main character (Zach Galifianakis), and winning an Emmy for it.
I really liked Predator, and the 2010 continuation Predators, where a bunch of violent people are abducted and dropped off on a Planet used to train young predators. Didn't care as much for Predator 2 (an early 90s movie set in 1997 LA), and ultimately passed on the two AVP movies and the most recent movie, The Predator, directed by Shane Black (who also acted in the first Predator).
FYI, the movie where Rusev branded a gun was called Countdown. It starred Dolph Ziggler as a cop, Kane as his lieutenant, and a slew of WWE wrestlers as themselves, as part of the plot took place at a WWE event.
The 12 Rounds series of films (only three of those) started with Cena, continued with Randy Orton, and ended with Dean Jon Moxley Ambrose.
David Banner has also acted in a few movies, including the out-there Samuel L. Jackson movie Black Snake Moan. That came out after this game had come out, and I remembered his name and kind of recognized his face.
Missed not having Vinny around, but nice hearing Abby add to the conversation while Alex was blazin'.
I don't know if the chat brought it up, but the rapper Prodigy in this game (who formed Mobb Deep with Havoc, also in the game) died a few years ago, in addition to the nutty white guy from the band Prodigy.
I was finally convinced to look up Jacob the Jeweler. I remember reading something about his legal troubles a couple years after I played the game. The full story:
In June 2006, Arabo was arrested on charges of money laundering and conspiracy in connection with the Detroit-based Black Mafia Family, as well as for not declaring large cash purchases to the IRS. In October 2007, after admitting to lying to investigators, Arabo and his attorney, Ben Brafman, entered a plea in which the more serious charges of money-laundering were dropped. In June 2008, Arabo was sentenced to two and a half years in prison, fined $50,000, and ordered to forfeit $2 million to the U.S. government. Arabo was released from jail in April 2010.
