Adventure Time has ruined Gears of War 3 photo

Earlier today, I posted my beta impressions of Gears of War 3. While I did my best to give you all the important news, I withheld one bit of vital information, deciding it was so important it deserved a full news post. 

Adventure Time has ruined Gears of War 3

We all know that John DiMaggio, the voice of Marcus Fenix, also plays Bender in Futurama. For some reason, I never found that a problem. DiMaggio is especially talented in that he can make similarly gruff, grizzly voices sound different from each other. As such, I never really heard Bender in Marcus, or Marcus in Bender. 

However, when Marcus Fenix shouts, he sounds exactly like Adventure Time's Jake the Dog, and it's thoroughly disturbing. Of course, it's my fault for being obsessed with Adventure Time, but hearing Jake the Dog in the blood-soaked, brutal universe of Gears has totally thrown me off. 

Of course, I also have to confess that it's kind of f*cking awesome, too.

LOL. Bruce Johnson's voice is cool but very distinct and so having Sarge from Bad Company yelling things during Crysis 2 really did ruin the immersion for me a few times.

He is also Schnitzel from Chowder which is another hilarious show on cartoon network. But his whole script consists of the word "Rada".

This is a fact that I love. Might play Gears 2 now just to hear it for myself. Been watching way too much Adventure Time lately.

Jim, could you do me a favor and PhotoShop Wakka's head onto Marcus? I always found it hilarious that Bender was the Wakkinator.

It's so funny that you posted this. I replayed just a little bit of Gears 2 a couple months back, and I was completely distracted by this the whole time. As you mentioned, his Jake voice and Marcus voice are pretty much the same.

Funny shit.

Also, Adventure Time is possibly the greatest show currently on television. I'm going to at art exhibit with the show's artists and the creator, Pendleton Ward, tomorrow.

Kind of like hearing Keith David for the first time in CoD after being so used to hearing him as Arby in Halo.

I can only picture how hilarious the GoW3 thing is.

Jim. DiMaggio is Jake the Dog. He does his voice.

And you are right, he does sound like Jake when he screams...and there's nothing wrong with that. It's freakin amazing.

Also, if you knew this, then I apologize for stating the obvious.
