Artie Lange provides voice in next Leisure Suit Larry game
According to the unofficial Artie Lange blog site, Lange will voice the role of "Big Al" in an upcoming Leisure Suit Larry game. Lange is best known for his work on the Howard Stern Show. Very little is known beyond the statement made on the Stern show and an official announcement of a new Leisure Suit Larry hasn't been made.
It would be nice to see Larry back on top considering he's been quite, erm ... flaccid for the last decade. The last Leisure Suit Larry game, Magna Cum Laude, didn't even star the original character and was an amateur-hour Larry adventure. Thanks to games like Sam & Max showing life in the adventure genre, perhaps there is hope for a well-written quality adventure game starring everyone's favorite lovable loser.

I was watching that HowardTV preview and could not believe how FAT Artie Lange is lately. It was unbelievable. He looks like a fat Italian grandmother!
It was funny to watch...the studio their in how isn't as nice as their E! set...the segment they were airing was one of Sal the Stockbroker and Richard Christy having it out with Artie Lange...Wow, Artie came out and told them he flat out hated them, didn't care for them and wanted nothing to do with them.
I miss that show...funny stuff.
That's some great news. Love me some Artie. WAAAAHH! I'M ON HEROIN! WAAAAAH! DANA LEFT ME! Let's hope they can fit those quotes into the game somehow.

But, considering you're probably the kind of person who finds Stern "icky" (read: a twelve year-old), your opinions are no longer needed. Thank you.
People on the boards hardly consider Mark Walhberg an accomplished actor when he has been in more movies than albums he made. I doubt artie lang will get more respect.

I'm done.
How about after listening to his show for 4 years I decided he hasn't done anything new in ages, and was just bored to tears.
Yeah Howard is talented but since it seemed every bit was either about
-prostitutes
-porn stars
-farting
-homeless/retarded people
yeah that got kinda old.
And it just seemed like after a while every joke was just a rehashed in-joke from x years ago, instead of say writing new material.
Phranctoast, Artie is known for more...actually being funny. I know, it's crazy...and he was in Mystery Men, which is like, only the best movie ever. Or not. Alot of people are fans of Artie despite his lack of a AAA movie-star-status, and I assume there is a Stern fan on Joystiq staff who found this news as cool as I did (for both reasons you used to dismiss it, Artie and the return of LSL).
WiNGZ, my friend, if all Howard Stern was is fart jokes, prostitutes, and porn stars, then I think 12 year-olds would love him. Luckily, his show is a little more expansive than that. And the retards? That's the Whack Pack, my friend, and if you're not with them, then you're against them. And I wouldn't want to be against a mob of angry Whackers.
I like O&A. They have a great show. It is strange that the things that they could get away within the past are taboo now. (wiffle ball bat challenge).

The thing is that after MCL came out, ppl were disappointed since it played nothing like the old lsl games and Al Lowe, the series creator, didn't work on this game. Therefore, I don't think fans are excited with this news as they were (and soon disappointed) when LSL MCL was announced and released.
Personally, I find MCL is funnier (it has more adult humor) than the previous LSL games, but the gameplay is a bit repetitive considering it is the same 10 mini games over and over again. MCL feels like a licensed game as oppose to an original title, mostly because it plays like "The Simpsons: Hit and Run" except that instead of repetitive car-driving mini games, there are arcade game-rip off like DDR and tapper mini games. However, the way they designed the conversation system is pretty fun. Other than that, the game is a let down to most lsl fans, who excepted to play an adventure title.
Unless this new game is goin to be an adventure title, I doubt most fans will get excited over this game.
I mean if the last one didn't do that well, Sierra probably thought it was time to close up the series back then. However, if they didn't stick to original formula of the game that made it so popular, then they pretty much shot themselves in the foot on that one.
Pretty typical though. Too many companies think they can take any intellectual property and do just as good a job with it. However they usually fail miserably because they often don't have the feel, personality, or touch that they original creators / designers instilled into the game.
