You know they're still allegedly in preproduction on
Sims movie?
Ridiculous.
Just so this blog isn't an entire waste of self-promoting space, I have an almost-amusing story from E3 that I never really found the right place to fully tell.
So, on Tuesday Davis and I met Carlos Ferro, the guy who plays Dom. He was cool.
A day or so later, I'm walking through E3 and a guy notices me. "Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin!," he yells. And I say yeah, and he says he wishes he had a camera so he could take a picture with me. I say that I have a camera, and I could just email him the picture if he can find someone to take it for us. He begins looking around and sees a group of younger, nerdy-looking guys talking to a slightly less young, less nerdy looking guy.
The dude I'm talking to asks the guy if he'll take a picture of us, and when he turns I see it's Carlos Ferro.
I try to stop the guy from asking him, but it's a little too late. "Alright," Carlos says, "am I taking the picture with you, or you?"
The guy says, "No...I want you to TAKE the picture of us." Carlos starts laughing really loud, and tells the guys he was just talking to what happened. Then they start laughing really loud.
"Why are they-- ," he begins to say, before I interrupt him.
"He plays Dom, from Gears of War."
"Oh," he says before shrugging. "I'm a Sony fanboy."
Carlos and the group are still laughing.
"I feel like a dick," he says.
"Yeah, me too."
In hindsight, that story wasn't interesting at all. At least I don't have to add [shortblog] to the blog title, though.
Sims movie did not
... and at least the guy was honest in admitting to being a Sony fanboy and didn't try to awkwardly cover up the faux pas!
:)
Otherwise I be too lazy yo.
I've played and enjoyed both Gears games and I have no idea what Carlos Ferra looks like, even though I'm postive I've seen his face in the credits.
I know that would definitely be an awkward situation though.
Also about the Sims movie, it sounds like a Truman Show kind of thing. A Sim finding out he's being controlled by a human bored wife who's husband is always on long business trips. Then they fall in love thanks to TECHNOLOGY.
I also just read about the Mass Effect movie being produced by Avi Arad... Mehhhh!

And anyway, even if he was the biggest voice actor in gaming, he`s still small-fry in the (very, very gay) pecking order of mainstream celebrity.
What a cunt... You should've started going on and on to him about how much better John DiMaggio is.
Lame.
seems like a nice guy
becuase I know very little about gears of war I can only picture this guy as being wider than he is tall and in full power armour
