Will Arnett, Neil Patrick Harris star in Eat Lead
Remember a long time ago (OK, so it was at 8 a.m) when we complained about Eat Lead's generic game design and other problems we spotted during a demonstration? Well, forget them, because they've just been rendered moot by star power.
What kind of stars, you ask? Well, how about Will Arnett of Arrested Development fame as lead Matt Hazard? Still not sold? OK, fair enough. But what if were were to promise ... ready? ... Doogie Houser himself, Neil Patrick Harris as publishing boss Wallace "Wally" Wellesley?! Yeah, we thought you'd change your tune.
Take note, game publishers: Put NPH in your games and you can make them as generic as you please. Hell, we're ready to fax D3 our $60, just to make sure we Eat Lead as soon as possible. We're suckers like that.

So how much would you pay for an actual Doogie Houser game starring NPH?
Hashbrown Hunter @ Oct 28th 2008 3:14PM
MY FUCKING SOUL.

Well I wasn't GOING to buy it, but if Neil Patrick Harris is in it, well...a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

Don't plan the plan if you can't follow through. All that matters taking matters into your own hands. Soon I'll control everything.... my wish is your comma---
Duke @ Oct 28th 2008 3:27PM
Yeah, that made it a sale for me. I don't know why, but Harris is still cool in some weird cult way. I mean hell, who else could make that picture on a unicorn work?!

STAND BACK EVERYONE
Nothing here to see
Just imminent danger-
In the middle of it me
Yes
Captain Hammer's here
Hair blowing in the breeze
The day needs my saving expertise!
The Doctor @ Oct 28th 2008 6:55PM
It looks like for this game
It's a brand new day
And the sun is high
All the bloggers sing
that you're gonna die
Go ahead and laugh
NPH is a funny guy
Its a brand new day...
Seriously joystiq, zero dr. horrible references? Zero?!

Dr. Horrible has a UNICORN?!
BigD145 @ Oct 28th 2008 3:11PM
It gives him magical mayonnaise for his sandwiches and all he has to do is rub its horn.
edgore @ Oct 28th 2008 4:41PM
Actually, that is Good Horse, to whom Bad Horse is evil twin.

It's a shame you probably won't be adequately upvoted for that.
WRE @ Oct 28th 2008 4:25PM

cimino15 @ Oct 28th 2008 2:51PM
-What do you think the PH stands for in NPH?
-Patrick Harris
-No, common mistake. Poon Handler.
Ranus Studios @ Oct 28th 2008 2:55PM

Hashbrown Hunter @ Oct 28th 2008 3:27PM
And by the way, Will Arnet was a fucking comedic genius in Arrested Development. Who could forget GOB?

Biff_McFresh @ Oct 28th 2008 4:29PM
I keep forgetting that NPH likes the CACK, somehow it makes him even cooler in my book (no homo).
Young_Nastyman @ Oct 28th 2008 4:44PM

Frojo @ Oct 28th 2008 4:48PM

Markusdragon @ Oct 28th 2008 7:11PM
The game is going to be pretty average, but it's exactly the sort of thing that's going to build up a cult following regardless of it's gameplay flaws.
j.howlett @ Oct 28th 2008 8:51PM
will arnett and neil patrick harris put this game on my watch list for future purchase
Amirisme @ Oct 28th 2008 9:17PM
