GTA IV Voice Actor Shunned by Rock Star Games Family

February 10, 2009 by SSXallnight

VICE CITY - Someone should have told voice actor Michael Hollick that performing like a pampered Princess Peach would make him one of the lost and the damned, almost literally.

Months after complaining that his salary for his performance of the lead character, Niko Bellic, was meager compared to profits made by the company on sales of Grand Theft Auto IV; the word around town is that Rock Star Games has no interest in giving the voice actor new lines in the expansion, "The Lost and the Damned". An executive has allegedly said "hell no" to the notion of bringing Hollick back to the studio.

This just goes to show you that people involved with organized crime, in any fashion, no matter how fictional, do not put up with whiners. Luckily for Hollick, his life is nothing like the life of his video game counterpart or he'd probably be locked inside the trunk of a car by now, accompanied by a group of large, heavy rocks, inside of a body bag, on his way to the river for a "swim".

Hey Rock Star, I've got an idea for an additional expansion pack...

Recheck your credit card balance -- if you're close to the limit, now is the time to settle up. There are lots of ways to manage debt like shaking trees and selling the apples that fall out. If you didn't understand this piece of advice, it's because you don't play Animal Crossing, and therefore, are not a complete idiot. Congratulations.

Is World Of Warcraft (MMOs) a good way to meet a spouse?

May 6, 2008 by Micah Bleich

Dear Mercedes, I've been single for almost 4 years now, and I'm getting really desperate for some companionship. My friend met his current girlfriend by playing World of Warcraft, but that seems a little weird, even for me. Do you think playing online games is a reasonable way to meet women?

Short answer: No.

Is my girlfriend really interested in video games?

February 21, 2008 by Micah Bleich

Dear Mercedes, My girl says she's interested in video games, but whenever I talk about them for more than 30 minutes, she gets a glazed look and seems annoyed.

About Mercedes and this column:
So this traipse into column-self-worship/thinly-veiled-right-to-brag
has been a long time coming. I've only been in existence for 25 years
(and sleeping around/making out for about 11 of them) so I am sure many
of you are wondering what makes me so qualified to be giving anyone
