Subject: Cam Clarke spotted in EGM
Hey guys,
I just got the latest issue of
Electronic Gaming Monthly
(#158), and, on the preview for the GameCube game Robotech:
Battlecry on page 116, there's a little sidebar with information about
Cam, as long as a picture.
Maybe I don't want to
know but curiosity is biting my bum. What does the picture look
like? I'm thinking it's either his normal head shot pic or the picture
of him from his Inside Out album where it looks like he's
praying.
At the risk of being hunted down and
prosecuted under the wonderful DMCA (:-P), here's a snippet for those of you
who don't have the magazine: "Robotech fans know him as Max Sterling.
Gamers likely know him best as the nefarious Liquid Snake of Metal Gear
Solid fame. Next month, you'll hear Cam Clarke as the voice of Jack
Archer, Battlecry's main character. By our count, Cam's now been in
somewhere around 25 different games for consoles, PCs and
arcades."
I'm noticing a lot of
voice actors are turning to video game characters. I do mean a lot as in
the well-known ones. Is the money better than cartoon voices or is it
more in-demand? Well, the majority of kids play video games compared to
watching cartoons.
LOL, that's right, I forgot he was in
Metal Gear Solid 2's credits. I think there may have been more TMNT toon voice
actors as well, though nobody in particular comes immediately to mind. I'll
have to check that out on the IMDb when I get a chance.

I remember when I was
working at Toys "R" Us, I found a video game magazine with an article of one
of those games and connection of stars. Like for example so and so
starred alongside with so and so in the film whatever which had a brief cameo
of....and it went on like that. Cam was listed as one of the
stars. It was a mention for "Metal Gear Solid 2" and it was a very very
small black and white picture from his Inside Out album. When I
read the article in the store, at the same time, "We Are One" was playing
on the overhead radio. Since I was there a full eight hours, the
music tape repeated over and I heard it like five times throughout the
day! Drove me nuts. I almost wanted to scream and get off the
register. There was no escaping it!
