What the fuck is this headline, that's Candyman, above all else.

I know this is a "gamer" focused publication, but come on!

[–] thisphuckinguy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I also thought of Candyman. Wtf are these people talking about?

He'll always simultaneously be Worf's brother and adult Jake Sisko to me. He will be sorely missed.

This is after the voice actor for the vortigaunts in HL2 and Ep1, Louis Gossett Jr, died earlier this year.

Will they find a new one? I think they're not planning on releasing more Half-Life games.

There are rumors which suggests HL3 is currently in development, so we’ll might see soon.

I mean, it definitely is, but it also has been since Episode 2 came out.

I mean after HL:Alyx continued the plot after HL2:E2 slightly, I think someone at Valve also came out and said "We aren't afraid of Half Life anymore," which is more of a concrete sign of at least something than we've had in years

Let's hope so, because if they don't release HL3 after Alyx' ending then that is a masterful trolling move.

It would be nice to get a version of Alyx that didn't require a vr headset. It would also be nice if HL3 doesn't require a vr headset.

I read the headline and thought "RIP for a real one"

Then I read "He was 69 years old" and I thought "Nice"

Wtf is wrong with me?

I'm looking over his IMDB page now and it's a lot of memories. I always knew him as a B-movie horror legend, but it looks like he didn't shy away from voice acting for films and games. A lot of good stuff there that I had no idea he was in

Goodnight, Candyman

"Why do you want to live? If you had learned just a little from me you would not beg to live. I am rumour. It is a blessed condition, believe me. To be whispered about at street corners. To live in other people's dreams but not have to be. Do you understand?"

He also voiced Kurn in the MMORPG Star Trek Online.

[–] essell@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

That'll be because he played Kurn in Startrek
