November 24, 2008Wrath of the Lich King and Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe...!
This is pure redundancy if you clicked over to this from my main page, but I recently had the chance to voice a few characters in some well-known franchises: Arthas in World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King and Scorpion, Deathstroke and Shao Kahn in Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.
I don't have an active account on WoW at the moment, but I've put in my time (as my two mid-60 Ben-Franklin-lookalike paladins will tell you), and I was no stranger to Warcraft II and III back in the day. I enjoyed Arthas's storyline as a gamer in WC III, watching his ends-fit-the-means outlook twist him into something dark and cruel, and prompt his final Faustian bargain. It was a lot of fun voicing him; he's an interesting character. Villains usually are--especially villains whose noble intentions are what led them down the path to hell in the first place.
And then there's Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. I've put in my gamer-time with the MK franchise as well--though for any version past the original, "putting in my time" meant getting schooled by one of any number of 12-year-olds who had forsworn all temptations of companionship or education in favor of learning how to perfect my chump-ass with Baraka.
I haven't had a chance to play MK vs. DC or the WotLK expansion yet, but with the long Thanksgiving weekend fast approaching, maybe that'll change soon...
In other news, The Project That Cannot Be Named! (or TPTCBN!, if you prefer) continues apace, and I'm starting out on a very exciting gig that just came through. It's nothing I can mention just yet, but I'll be talking it up aplenty when the time is right...!
