Spidey is a Friend of Jane

Filed under: F.O.J. (Friends of Jane) — Julie B. @ 6:27 pm

Chapter 7 of the video game “Spider-Man 2: The Game” is entitled…drum roll please…”Pride and Prejudice.”

According to my Twelve-Year-Old Xbox Expert, the chapter’s title refers to the foibles of the chapter’s villain, Quentin Beck. The Evil Mr. Beck, “an arrogant special effects guru,” is dangerously proud of his great FX work in Hollywood and irrationally prejudiced against Spider-Man, insisting he’s a fake.

So now we know where hungry English Lit majors end up.

    Gee, I thought they ended up writing and doing web design for The Man. Go figure. :P

    Is this my future? Maybe I should change my major . . . ;)

    I can imagine worse fates. I think it would be fun.

    I’m always amazed by the video games–how do they get the actors to come back in for voice work? Money, fun, or an unwillingness to have anyone else voice their character?
