Jack Black Calls to Remind You Brütal Legend is Due Tomorrow
Like You Need Reminding
by Coop

Gamestop's favorite thing in the world, besides not giving publishers money for used game sales, is getting celebrities to make phone calls for them. When Ghostbusters was released, Dan Aykroyd called everyone who reserved the game to remind them to pick it up, and Mario did the same for Mario Kart early last year. This time around, Jack Black is shilling for the publisher, making calls to promote Brütal Legend. The clip is below.
Is it just me, or does it feel like Jack Black literally couldn't be any more excited for Brütal Legend? He's been seen running around with fake muscles on for the past year, yelling at anyone with two ears about Tim Schafer's newest title. I'm shocked he isn't going door-to-door in-character, asking anyone if they need him to tune their guitar. That said, it's been working, and his excitement has transferred over to me in full form. Tomorrow, I'll be ready to roll when the game hits shelves, let's just hope it doesn't disappoint.

I've got a paper to write tomorrow night and a show on Wednesday night, so I won't really be able to play until Thursday evening. :( Maybe a couple hours on Wednesday!
Huh. I didn't get a phone call from Jack Black. Maybe it'll be on my voicemail tomorrow morning. I got a text when my PSP Go was in. Not even a call. A text.
Hm. I got that same call. Crazy!
