About Me
Typical Brit! That means sarcasm is plentiful, tea is essential, and a general grumbling about later release dates is to be expected.

I mostly play RPG's and have been a lifelong fan of the Metroid and Final Fantasy series.

I like to wax lyrical about games that interest me and spew off some crap about games that don't. I can often be found at my other Blog: LadyManix's Mumblings on Blogspot.com, and I'm working on several other enterprises too, whilst I wait for the perfect job to land in my lap.

Currently Playing: Final Fantasy XIII and still trying to conquer Hard mode on Rock Band Guitar...I will do it!

Consoles

Xbox 360, Wii, PSP, DS Phat, PS2.

A Few Favourite Games

Final Fantasy VII, Super Metroid, Metroid Prime, Left4Dead, Mass Effect, Legend of Dragoon, Zelda: Link to the Past.

Knight Rider - popular Hoff-helmed crime-fighting TV epic of the 80's is being remade this year for NBC. Something that many will already know no doubt, but news has reached mine ears that the voice of the much loved super-car - KITT - will be none other than Batman!

"Val Kilmer has apparently stepped in to provide the voice of KITT in NBC's revival of hit 80s TV show Knight Rider. He replaces comic actor Will Arnett, who reportedly had to step down due to a conflict of interest."

See MSN says it's true! Val Kilmer will be voicing our favourite sarcasticly cool...Ford Mustang??? (Ford Mustang?! Jeez, why not round off all the really cool sharp edges and wrap it in bubble wrap for good measure! *ahem*)

Kilmer has had a good resurgence in his career of late but is he right to do something like this? I don't know...to me it just feels a little like he's gone back to selling out again. But hey, what with the success of all the other re-franchised franchises such as Bionic Woman, Battlestar Galactica and The Sarah Conner Chronicles - maybe I'll be wrong and Knight Rider 2008 won't suck as much ass as the Blade series did.

I find it hard to believe that someone like Will Arnett will have a conflict of interest, especially doing voice-over work which he's good at.

Well at least Val Kilmer is working again.

Val Kilmer was best as Doc Holiday in Tombstone. Haven't seen him in anything in forever and after googling him now I can see why...hes kinda let himself go.

I read about this in the paper today. His conflict of interest is that he has a contract with GMC to do voiceovers for their commercials, and they don't want him being the voice of the car, cause it's a Ford.

The only thing I liked about the original was the opening theme.

This show will suck even more than people think it will. Mark my words.

I didn't plan on watching this until just now, when I heard that it was going to have Will Arnett as KITT.

Now, not so much.
