Metalocalypse video game
Cool news from Brendon Small via the Wall Street Journal.
Now comes the videogame, to be announced later this week by Cartoon Network and Konami at San Diego Comic-Con. Brendon Small, the show’s creator, worked with Konami to produce “Metalocalypse: Dethgame” as a downloadable title for Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Sony’s PlayStation 3. Wisconsin-based developer Frozen Codebase will be the developer.
It would seem like the brooding bandmates of the fictional band would be the perfect candidates for a raucous, fighting videogame. But despite its heavy metal façade, Dethklok was not easy to import into a videogame setting. “The first idea was we make the band merciless and murderous but that doesn’t work on the show,” says Small. “Our show is really about five narcissistic super-celebrities who can’t open the door by themselves.”

God, you cannot imagine how excited I am about this. I think these usually don’t pan out well (shows converted to games, much less animated shows), but with Brendan Small involved, I am convinced it will rock.
