Waiting For Hasselhoff
Gamasutra has another in its series of articles about games from Schadenfreude Interactive. The highly unusual developer has gained acclaim for its Cthulu Karts title, and the Gamasutra site looks at what it was like getting mega-star David Hasselhoff to do voice work for their game. From the article: "When we heard Mr. Hasselhoff would be in nearby Frankfurt for an appearance, we jumped at the chance to have him record a few lines. Crispin was somehow able to get Mr. Hasselhoff's agent to agree. How he was able to explain what Cthulhu were, and why they were racing karts, I do not know (I will tell you, though --Cthulhu are a race of hideous godlike trans-dimensional monsters created by author H.P. Lovecraft. They are racing karts because, well, karting games were popular at the time)."
Cthulhu is a unique, singluar and fictional deity invented by HP Lovecraft. The description given fits Lovecraft's Elder Gods, as well as a horde of more mortal monsters he created in support of his pantheon.
Yes, I'm being pedantic.
Yes, I'm probably missing the point.
No, I don't care.
Don't let THEM immanentize the Eschaton!
These are the Schadenfreude Interactive guys.
I'll let you come to your own conclusions about Mr. Hasselhoff's schedule keeping abilities.
It's too bad. I really wanted to license that German Deathmetal song.
Ja! Ja! I eat vermin
Yeah! Yeah! Taste them squirmin'
All alone or on a cracker
I am a maggotsnacker
Die! Die! Die! Die!
Ja! Ja! Ja! Ja! etc.
The ______ Agenda
No, he isn't. Of course, he is known for his roles in Babewatch and Knight Rider,
Ten seasons of Baywatch plus spinoffs. Show in 140 countries.
he was moderately successful with his stupid "Looking for Freedom" song eons ago
That entire album went triple platinum. Subsequently, he has had 6 more albums reach platinum.
That's better than 99% of signed musicians ever do. So, if that's not enough to be a "mega-star" then what does it take? 8 platinum albums?
