Out of the Blue

It was recently announced that Bruce Campbell will be playing the voice of Jake Logan, the hero in Tachyon: The Fringe, NovaLogic's upcoming space game that's expected this fall. This seems noteworthy because Bruce is arguably the first-person shooter genre's favorite actor, and I'd say certainly its most influential, as lines and other forms of homage to Army of Darkness are sprinkled throughout the history of the FPS. These range from the obvious (half of Duke Nukem's dialog) to the relentless (we haven't verified it through the trivia computer, but it's possible that every shooter Monolith has made has an AoD reference), to what qualifies around these parts as subtle (the Doom Marine doesn't actually wear his chainsaw on his wrist). Anyway, congrats to NovaLogic and Tachyon on their heroic choice of a hero. For the record, Bruce has won every single "who should play the Doom Marine" poll ever conducted (over two million consecutive poll victories!).

Link of the Day: Net Nerds Need Medical Help Say Eu Shrinks*. Thanks furn.
