About Me
Salutations, Destructoid! Ace of knaves, at your service. I've been a member of this place since around June of 2008, and I never cease loving all the Dtoid community has to offer.

If you'd like to know the mildly interesting tale of my gaming history, well, when I was a young boy I wasn't that focused on video games. I dabbled in PC games and handhelds, like most kids do, but I was too intimidated to plunge all the way in. As far as I could tell I didn't have much of a knack for gaming, and I was perfectly content to watch others play while remaining strictly an observer. Besides, I was perfectly happy with books, TV, and movies, so I figured really, what was I missing? I found out one magical day when I went over to the house of an older neighbor. He wanted to play Super Smash Brothers, and while I preferred to just watch him from the couch he insisted that I join in. Over the next few hours I discovered an amazing truth: video games are really fun. From that day forward gaming became a much bigger part of my life, and over the years I absorbed the culture and the history while trying to play as much as I could.

As for my tastes, Sports games are pretty much the only genre I'll write off completely, but besides that I'm not too fond of racing games that adhere to realism and there are very few RPGs I like that don't have Mario in them. Otherwise I'm pretty much willing to give anything a chance, as long as it's good and, unless it's a fighting game, I prefer more of a focus on single player. In this generation I own a DS, a Wii, and a PS3, and I love them very much.

When it comes to this place, well, after being linked to Destructoid a few times I realized how great this site was, then after a few months of lurking realized how great I could be by joining the community, so here I am. I'm mostly found commenting on the front page and the cblogs, and I'll do a blog of my own here and there, but probably not as often as I should. From February to August of '09 I was involuntary absent from the site, and I hope nothing like that happens again. This is one of the best communities out there, gaming or otherwise, and if you're reading this you're already awesome.

Half-Life Movie: Perfectly Cast
ace of knaves | 10:27 PM on 09.15.2008 24 comments


These good folks (or perhaps just one folk) over at Soviet Delirus have chosen their dream cast for a live action Half-Life movie, and I must say, nearly every pick made my head explode with joy. Half-Life obviously should never become a movie, but this really makes the idea tempting.

Wrong. They should all be played by Eddie Murphy.

I agree that they should be all played by Eddie Murphy. Also for the soundtrack, there should be one song and one song only played throughout the entire movie...

"Party All The Time" by Eddie Murphy.

I bet if Hugh Laurie didn't have that pic with those glasses on, people wouldn't consider him.

I think it's pretty spot on, except for Lucy Liu... I just seriously hate that woman for no good reason.

Pretty good picks :) Hugh Laurie as Gordon though........Only if there's a role for Stephen Fry somewhere, so he make Laurie look better like he always has.

Awesome! It's pretty cool that you got shots of the actors and game characters in virtually the exact same pose for comparison. I feel Hugh Laurie would be wasted as Gordan Freeman though, his strength as an actor come from his snark usually, and I see Freeman as being more of a straight-man character.

And I'm going to have to agree with the others who don't like Lucy Liu. They look alike, but Alex needs to have a really skilled actor playing that role in order to really live up to the games.

Now that I think of it, Chris Walken would make a perfect G Man. And Dennis Hopper? Oh fuck yes, Half Life movie. If only it were a real cast...
