No coin-cidence: 50 Cent, 50 Cent game to appear on Spike VGAs

by Randy Nelson on Dec 10th 2008 11:00PM

Just dying to see new footage of 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand? (No, really, are you dying? We'll call for help.) Well, you'll get to peep it in the background as the rapper performs – live and in person – at Spike TV's 2008 Video Game Awards on Sunday, December 14. Those are the VGAs to those in the know.

Mr. Cent will be joined (not all at once, mind you) by Weezer, All American Rejects and LL Cool J. "Video games and music are an explosive creative combination," according to Spike TV vice president, Casey Patterson. Sony Picture Studios, the event venue, could not be reached to confirm that it holds adequate creative explosion insurance.

hopefully soulja boy joins him and they can fight to the death about which game is better... and hopefully both die.

My money is on 50.

But Soulja Boy never runs out of the time potion! He CAN'T die! WHOOOOOOP!

(Oh ye Gods, what madness have we been reduced to?)

Wow, 20 minutes after this is posted and no comments? I'm shocked joystiq, shocked

I detect massive amounts of WIN coming from this guy avatar.

Well, technically one could be Luigi...

But then again, both are equally awesome enough to not don such a stupid green hat :P

"Video games and music are an explosive ratings combination."

That sounds better.

Forgive for my complete disconnect with pop culture. LL Cool J? Has he done anything since 1997?

mama said knock you out

Besides an Old Spice commercial? Nope, can't think of anything.

He's been in some movies... Like "Deep Blue Sea" came out in '99. He had a show on UPN with the guy who played Carlton.
Also, (most importantly) he had a hilarious cameo on 30 Rock.

COIN-cidence because 50 cent is 2 coins right? I got it and I LOL.

The joke is funnier because you explained it!

It's half a Susan B

When required to pay 50 cents I usually pay in 9 dimes and 10 pennies. How can you possible do it in two?!

test to see if I've been banned

You have been banned.

From my heart...

Is that weird?

Too bad man, but don't worry hopefully you will get banned someday :).

@Markez

I thought we were tight... like Marcus and Dom :(

@Wiinterfang

Harlot

why would they ban you? you don't troll or pimp gay websites...

I was getting a weird error "RW please try again" a lot.

And I was thinking about posting a link to meatspin.com

This will to instead. Click if you DARE wahahhahhahaha:

HOLY CRAP I really really have to get that game and force some friends to do the same.

eww i went to meatspin. eww. why panda? i trusted you! that l4d vid was funny though.

yea, don't go there

I went to meatspin.com, too and now I'm masturbating again.

Holy puke on a bun, now I wish you were all dead. I wish I was dead. Like, yesterday. Please take me back in time. Joystiq please ban us all.

You’ll get sooner or later.I got B& 3 times.

The first one was either for proving (With science) MLG guys that MLG wasn't serious business or because I offended a sponsor. Not sure which one.

Second Spamming (Hey if you had an account with 5000 you will want it back).

3rd Well it seems Johnny turbo is a banneable offense.

(Proxies FTW although it is nothing compared to the OVER 9000 Times I have been banned from Gamespot.All the mods know my name)

Get down from there Randy

You're not Ludwig, you're Randy.

I wonder if you will get to fight invisible children in that game...

Go 50 Cent Go ....... Yea lol

I have a feeling even if this game is good it'll still get a lot of hate.

But it's going to suck, crash and burn and fail so intensely hard. As would be expected for a video game based on a rapper...

This is surreal.

If this were any shadier, there would be Spartans fighting in there.

Regarding that upcoming Soulja Boy game, how about make to be in the style of Disgaea, a quirky strategy RPG. Disgaea redefined the genre and so could Soulja Boy, have him and his supporters go against all the current mainstays and those retired from the rap/hip-hop industry, etc etc, just like Laharl from the first Disgaea had to face against all these other upper level demons to be number one.

Just my thought.

I'd say he would just rip off Barkley: Shut Up And Jam Gaiden, but I don't think Soulja Boy is neither smart enough to do that, furthermore even know about it.

Sony Picture Studios may use my creative explosion insurance, it's more than adequate.

How come his face is 2 shades darker than his arms?

soldier boy should just get it up his ass by that 25 cent guy from gorilla unit. Just my 2 cents.

The VGAs' quest for legitimacy: one step forward, two steps back

The game looks really goood...

Que yet another incarnation of Phoenix calling everyone a racist, and receiving, yet again, another well deserved ban. :)

LL Cool J? Weezer? All American Rejects? 50 cent?

Spike TV? 2003 called and they want their artists back.

From the screen shot i predict the game will be
50 Cent the Hero of Iraq.
