Vader Robs a Bank



So I know this generally isn't our "thing" but there's something about this story that made me want to post it. I know what you're thinking, "that picture's got to be a hoax, or someone's got to have photoshopped that!"

Nope, someone dressed as Darth Vader invaded a bank on Thursday, and robbed an unknown amount of money. The only thing he loses points for in my book is the fact that he was wearing green pants. I mean, that would have been that much more amazing had he been wearing the full costume. Most people would just use the Darth Vader Helmet. This fucker threw on a cape and the shirt as well! After he ripped off the bank, he took off on a speeder---I mean motorcycle. The police say they're looking for a person who is roughly 6ft tall. I think this man may have pulled off the perfect crime.

In other GAMING related news, it's been announced who the voice cast for the Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions are going to be. Well, they've announced who will be playing Spiderman at least. Each different universe will get a different voice actor, all from VA's who have done the Spiderman role before. Sadly no Toby McGuire.

Stan Lee will of course provide narration for the game (is that man awesome or what?).

The Spider cast will be as follows:
Neil Patrick Harris - Amazing Spider-man Universe
Josh Keaton - Ultimate Spider-man
Christopher Daniel Barnes - Spider-man Noir
Dan Gilvezan - Spider-man 2099

Neil Patrick Harris was the voice Actor for one of the more recent series of Spider-man (made back in 2003 for MTV), "Spider-man: the New Animated Series". This video is an episode from the series. I would recommend skipping all the way to 17 minutes into the episode, where the villain throws a box containing a telescope at someone in the the crowd and hits them. In the words of Jervan "That girl is probably dead."

Josh Keaton voiced Spider-man in the most recent series, "Spectacular Spider-man" which ran on Kids WB and Disney XD between 2008-2009.

Christopher Daniel Barnes voiced the web-slinger in "Spider-Man: The Animated Series" from the 90's, which I grew up watching (and for the record has been my favorite to date).

Dan Gilvezan voiced the web-head in "Spiderman and his Amazing Friends", the old series from the 80's.

Definately stoked for this game, which will be coming out September 7th (barring any push-backs).
