You probably know Jack Black from his long career as the enthusiastic star of films like School of Rock and Kung Fu Panda, and most recently as the actor who was the perfect amount of excited to voice Bowser for The Super Mario Bros. Movie. While Chris Pratt convinced me that he’s never touched a controller in his life, Black wants you to know that he is a hardcore gamer like the rest of you, something he’s made many delightful YouTube videos about in the past on his channel JablinskiGames. Now he and Kyle Gass, who together are better known as the rock duo Tenacious D, have created a musical tribute to games in their signature style, complete with a video in which a cartoon version of Black cameos in games such as God of War, Fallout 4, Tomb Raider, Street Fighter, Sonic, and Red Dead Redemption 2.
This is good, actually. Black starts off singing that “I don’t play video games no more, I never play video games.” As the video goes on, it becomes clear that his cartoon persona is as plugged in as the rest of us. He makes exceptions for AAA and Nintendo games that he considers to be “experiences,” all while reiterating over and over that he doesn’t have time for gaming. At one point, he appears naked while riding the most fucked-up-looking horse I’ve ever seen. True to the experience of gaming, the animations are filled with gratuitous violence, but with a comedic tone.
Over and over, he stresses: “That’s not a game. That’s an adult thang.” His song addresses how gaming is stigmatized by people who didn’t grow up with a console, but it’s not woe-is-me about it. Black is so excited to share what he loves about his favorite games, and you should be too.
The music was produced by Tenacious D, which, if you’re unaware, is a comedy rock duo formed by Black and Kyle Gass, another actor who also appears in the video (only to die incredibly frequently). Tenacious D has a sizable cult following, but The Super Mario Bros. Movie has reminded mainstream audiences that Black can really sing. His performance of the love ballad “Peaches” blew up the internet, and is eligible for an Oscar nomination.

i make diff playlists for diff games/shows/interests that i watched and liked so i thought it would be fun to share them:
the last of us
both games based and show based
(my best one tbh)
tomb raider
based mainly on the modern trilogy games and lara herself
blue eye samurai
show based, season 1
good omens
show based, season 1 & 2
(ngl i feel like this is my worst playlist oop)
bonus : crowley playlist
doctor who
show based, season 1 & 2 so far
(i would be lying if i said it isn't very timepetals based.. . . ...)
hannibal
show based so far (and very hannigram based. especially will somehow)
bonus:
will graham playlist
hannibal lecter playlist
hannigram playlist
ill take any recommendations for songs for playlists OR any show or game recommendations(although it will take me time to get into them and watch/play them + a possibility that i wont even get into them enough to make a playlist)
notes :
i look at characters, archetypes, character dynamics, relationships, plot, character motives, time and location and any songs included in the show itself, but also just silly willy vibes
yeah most of these have same songs and like 40% of the playlists are nin but still, these are songs that i think talk about the character dynamics or represent the characters well or even perfectly, i love tragedies ok
ngl i wish my range in genres was a bit wider so i could base it on the show's/game's genre that i think suits it best or that is actually in the show/game, would fit the vibe much better instead of just being my music taste but.. here we are
my spotify ofc
i have like 80+ diff playlists anybodys welcome to come judge them
Since I quit Twitter, the isolation from the Tomb Raider community has been real. So, giving tumblr a go.
I believe that everyone who were interested in the Dark Angel Symphony part 2 documentary has already seen it, but no harm in posting again.
There are so many things I wanted to talk about creating these documentaries, but for whatever reason I could never bring myself into doing so. These documentaries have been one of the most intense parts of my creative journey with as many lows as highs.
It took me 3 years to put part 2 out because I quit doing this docu at least twce. At one point it was even supposed to be a film for my Masters degree.
It's really easy to just consume content these days without second thought (I am doing that as well) and it did make me wonder if any of this was worth the effort since what you put into a project rarely matches the outcome. I still don't have an answer to that question, but I am grateful for every single view and comment on this video as I made it for free as volounteer work.
