It's some underage kid with mental problems going around spamming comment sections on random articles with the same lines. He used to comment normally then relegated to this weird mental patient thing.

So, he can't do side projects? Do you know that Old Spice was just a side project? Now it's one of the most iconic and successful TV advertisements ever. I don't care how big my name gets. I always wanted to voice a character in a video game. He's not doing it for a small sum of money. He wants to do it for fun.

ironcrow23862759d ago

I was implying he can do a lot better than overwatch..then youd know that already if youd read my comment properly

sinspirit2759d ago

So, did you read my comment? I was implying he wants to do this on the side, hence the term "side project". "youd know that already if youd read my comment". Never did I say you were wrong about his ability to play a bigger role elsewhere.

It's not professional voice acting consisting of lines and lines of dialogue for a rich over-arching storyline, but it's still fun. Tons of huge stars have taken small guest roles in shows, cartoons, and games. Not that I wouldn't like to see him in something bigger, but if you aren't humble and think you only belong in big budget then you will crash eventually. If he had that same mindset as you do right now then he would have been like "Oh, I've been in a couple big movies now, why would I be in some deodorant commercial?", and he wouldn't have been a part of one of the most successful ad campaigns ever. I'm not saying every small task for him, like a character in Overwatch, would turn into some huge deal. But, it's important to take a step back every once in a while and take a breath away from the bigger things.

jmc88882758d ago

Wow, it's amazing some people don't know that big actors do voice work in videogames/animated movies.

In fact, it's basically the same thing. Work is work, and Overwatch is a huge game.

Voicework is voicework. Anyone that gets all high and mighty about voicework is a snob who is out of touch with reality.

Terry is a new PC gamer...he probably is a fan of the game so makes sense.

BizarroUltraman2759d ago

Go watch some of his vids on youtube. This is something he wants to do. He wants to voice game characters and even be in a game. His son has opened up a whole new world. His inner geek has be released. He has said time and time again, hes all in on gaming. Not to mention Jay 2 Cents is gonna make him a new water cooled rig....

LordMaim2758d ago

Don't forget his role on The Newsroom.

I love how "Doom" part of "Doomfist" is written with distinct id "DOOM" theme in it :3
Sneaky Blizzard :3

UnHoly_One2759d ago

I think you're imagining things. It is not even close.

Well, what can I say - other people are blind as puck ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I Miss the Original Overwatch

Blizzard's blending of the FPS and MOBA was a masterpiece of design that met its end too soon.

Tedakin382d ago

I miss 6v6, lootboxes and an actual player level. I used to look forward to Junkenstein's Revenge at Halloween and the Christmas event cause of all the cool cosmetics you could earn. I'd play it every day. Now you play it for an hour, earn some stupid charm, and you're done. No reason to play anymore.

ActualWhiteMan382d ago

RIP OW2 is trash. My friends stopped playing it like we used to the first one every Friday night.

smoothdude382d ago

this. loved overwatch 1. 2 is no fun. there is lots to play… find something you like.

Gardenia381d ago

I'd never thought I would say this but the loot boxes in Overwatch wasn't so bad compared to what it is now.

GoodGuy09382d ago

I remember those epic dreamworks-like CGIs. I wasn't a fan at all but man, I knew it was a rediculously huge game. OW2 I've seen...nothing, died maybe after a week.

moomoo319381d ago

OW2 is a disaster. All these years to make the game 5v5….? And they scrapped PvE? The game just sucks man zero fun.

Activision Shows Concerns Over The Call Of Duty And Overwatch League's Longevity

Activision has admitted that its Call of Duty and Overwatch eSport Leagues are facing challenges that the company might fail to address.

just_looken401d ago

Ha ha these have been in trouble fort awhile so now we talk about it/address it?

How about you explain why you make billions but always have layoff's.

S2Killinit401d ago

Activision:
Woe is me

These guys come off so disingenuous.

ModsDoBetter401d ago

The timing is strange but COD has been on a nosedive for several years & then followed by the backlash of Overwatch 2.

sadraiden400d ago

COD has literally never been more popular. Every single year it sells more and more copies than the previous year. Don't know what you mean by nosedive.

ModsDoBetter400d ago (Edited 400d ago )

@sadraiden

It has taken a nosedive in quality.
However, as you based your argument on sales numbers, let's take a dive, shall we?

"COD has literally never been more popular"
COD has literally been more popular.

See: MW2 sales numbers estimate to be at 8million copies sold at the end of 2022 (no official numbers released) yet Black Ops (2010) sits at a staggering 31million copies sold.

"Every single year it sells more and more copies than the previous year"
Again, not true.

(In release order)
Black Ops - 31 million copies
Modern Warfare 3 - 30 million copies
Black Ops 2 - 29 million copies
Ghosts - 28 million copies
Advanced Warfare - 21 million copies
Black Ops 3 - 26 million copies
Infinite Warfare - 13 million copies
WWII - 19 million copies
Black Ops 4 - 14 million copies
MW2019 - 30 million copies
Cold War - 30 million copies
Vanguard - Unreleased sales numbers
MW2022 - No solid numbers yet, though as above - 8 million estimated as of end of 2022

As you can see "every single year it sells more and more copies than the previous year" is an inaccurate statement with the sales numbers fluctuating, though I do feel MW2022 would sell well over the course of the year.

luckytrouble401d ago

This timing isn't that weird. eSports are notorious money sinks, and organizations have been failing one after another the past few months as funds dry up and popularity wavers. Critical who is one of the runners of his own eSports organization has been extremely candid about the fact that there's really no money to be made, and a lot of suits that had their companies throw money at the concept are just starting to give up and move on.

Profchaos401d ago

Just to coincide with the CMA appeal woe is us

smolinsk401d ago

Wow and they have totally done it to them Self with zero innovation.

shinoff2183401d ago

Exactly. Biggest game in gaming and they crying. Stfu acti

ModsDoBetter401d ago

They really dropped the ball with COD ever since WW2 I’d say.

Year after year it’s just disappointment after disappointment and it only got worse with Warzone and MW2019 - seasonal progression, battle pass, goofy skins, not listening to player feedback, you name it.

merlox401d ago

Call of duty was only good when they were WWII. Activision should go back to how they started. Also, they can make the single player stories longer. Not everyone plays the multiplayer.

porkChop401d ago

A lot of people here couldn't even read the headline. This isn't about the games themselves, it's about the esports leagues.

shinoff2183401d ago

Put the money into it. You have the biggest game in gaming.

porkChop401d ago

Agreed. They can obviously afford it.

ChasterMies400d ago

If people don’t like playing the games as much, then why would they want to watch other people play it?
