Jack Black’s Immensely Helpful Brütal Legend Update

4:00AM Mike Fahey | It’s been awhile since we’ve heard anything about Tim Schafer’s Brütal Legend, which stars Jack Black as a heavy metal roadie who bleeds into his cursed belt buckle and is transported to Nordic Heavy Metal land. Lucky for us, MTV Multiplayer has the scoop directly from Black himself, who attended the recent MTV Music Awards wearing a Brütal Legend t-shirt and…well, just read. “I just wanted to represent. I do this video game ‘Brutal Legend.’ It’s coming someday. And these pants are pantaloons. And I went with these purple people eaters [shoes].” There you have it folks! Mark someday on your calendars and get ready to rock! Multiplayer did at least manage to contact Sierra spokesman Tom Stratton, who for the most part told him the same thing, more or less, adding that more details would be made available soon. Someday soon. I can’t wait! Jack Black Says ‘Brutal Legend’ Will Be Released ‘Someday’ [MTV Multiplayer] More »

Kids’ Choice Awards Choose Poorly

4:20AM Mike Fahey | On Sunday, March 29th, rock and roll hero and sometimes actor Jack Black returns to the Nickelodeon stage to host the 21st Annual Kids’ Choice Awards, where the stupid children decide who wins the awards! Now I know there are some pretty smart children out there, but they are all busy playing games like Portal or BioShock (with their stupid parents proudly ignoring them in the other room), thus the nominees for the 2008 Favorite Video Game Award: Dance Dance Revolution Guitar Hero High School Musical: Sing It! Madden NFL ‘08 There’s really not much I can say here. I mean, Guitar Hero is nice and all, but they just list Guitar Hero…not II or III. Same with Dance Dance Revolution. There are 20 bajillion versions of DDR out there. Pick one! Madden 08 just goes to show that they were running out of kid-friendly titles to nominate, and if High School Musical: Sing It! wins? I am driving over to my nephew’s house and smacking him upside the head just for associating with people his own age. Kids’ Choice Award’s Official Nominee Announcement [Nickelodeon] More »
