Matthew Perry Not Only An Actor But Now A Gaming Mentor

April 17, 2009 in News comments 24

Who knew that celebrities were actually real people and not just a somebody making a name for themselves with fame and fortune while having their life splashed across the front pages every day?

Well if anyone knows the US TV sitcom, Friends, then you will certainly know Matthew Perry who played Chandler (the funny and sarcastic one) Recently he is in the media for appearing in the new movie "17 again" along side Zac Efron...the annoying kid from High School Musical 1,2 and 505 ¬_¬

So what does this have to do with gaming? Well it's quite surprising really as it has been reported that Matt has become a "gaming mentor" for young Zac. As I was strolling through the daily banter on Bethesda Softwork's Twitter feed that they had mentioned something about Matthew Perry. Curious, I decided to check it out and found out that Matt was in fact trying to tell Zac to pick up Fallout 3 and forget Call of Duty 4.

Now that's the kind of celebrity endorsement the gaming world needs or at least Beth Soft needs.

"The biggest advice I had for him was to start playing Fallout 3 instead of Call of Duty 4. It has more of a story," Perry deadpans with the same comic timing that made him a star on Friends

    When I saw you had wrote this, I was kind of confused. Then I read the whole thing, and it made PERFECT sense

    Leave some of the only games people now and start playing other games that are good. Good advice.

    Yeah . . . and name-calling is becoming only to very young children on the playground.

    Anywho . . . Um . . . I really don't have much to say about this one! Besides I think LPF meant to say "Leave some of the only games people PLAY now...."

      Have you watched HSM or even seen any mention of it? If so then everyone knows Zac Efron, not by his name but by "That annoying kid from HSM" it's not name calling, it's calling him by his nickname

        No I refused to watch those movies. It's . . . scary to say the least

        But I know "that annoying kid from HSM" wasn't name-calling. That's not what I was actually referring to. I kinda avoided the direct reference due to . . . not wanting to set a spark that would cause a huge fire.

          Man I know exactly what you was referring to my friend, but I left it alone, because I know exactly what it is you're trying to do. If you have a problem with what i say, or type is perhaps more befitting, then tell me. Or report it. Pick one. Otherwise there's no need to say anything. I am entitled to my opinions; I will express my ideas and opinions however I wish to, you do it your own way man, I do it mine. He's a cocksucker, so are you. If you dont wanna "start a huge fire", then what are you trying to do? What is it you hope to achieve, what point of discussion are you looking to prove? Type and read, type and read, type and read. Thats all this is man. There's no need for the games, I dont appreciate that.

          See what I mean?

          Look, Carousel . . . there's speaking in general. So let's leave my comment as speaking in general. If you are intent on expressing your opinion and saying you're entitled to do so, then let others do the same without attack.

          THAT is what I was trying to do . . . avoid the whole situation here. So if you wish to reply afterward, I won't.

          HS, know who you're dealing with. Nothing kills a troll except for ignoring it. I tried overfeeding once; just made it worse. Just ignore it, completely, and it'll go away. You know this.

          I know what you were referring too, was trying to side-step it and move along

          In any case, there is a report button on comments now, best to use that and let people with the powers sort it than make it escalate and try and sort it yourself Rambo style

          You're right, starving a troll is much more effective I had to at least respond once though to see if at all possible some sort of words would cease anything that might come later one though. Though, I'm guessing that is something I'll have to work on trying to not do, huh

          I try to avoid the report button though, Shadow, unless absolutely necessary. I know some do have opinions and normally . . . if one is such a troll they put their own foot in their mouths and people see it for what it is. (But . . . if necessary, yeah the report is the way to go)

    No no no, not "see what I mean" dont be ridiculous. If you wanna comment on what I've said, feel free to. That's not what you're doing. What you're doing, is passively aggressively trying to instigate something. I dont know why, I dont care why. If you are offended by something I say, I dont care. But feel free to discuss it with me. If you're gonna say "WAH WAH WAH NAME CALLING IS CHILDISH" but not expressly direct that to me, then mind your own business, is frankly, all I can say, without resorting to some manner of expletive.

    If you were trying to avoid the situation, you wouldn't have commented. And similarly, if you were truly offended, you wouldnt be worried about "starting a huge fire". Boredom I put it down to. Fair does then man, start a topic, let's discuss something. But make it something relevant, or something worth discussion. Carouselambra's joy in insulting people, is not a worthwhile discussion. We're not gonna solve any great questions of the Universe by delving into that one. Who's a cocksucker and who isnt, thats all we'll answer. I can answer that one now that one's easy; everyone is a cocksucker except carouselambra. Case closed.

    IT? man im insulted. you kiss your mother with those typer happy fingers my friend? No-ones trolling. You feed nothing; i really dont know the word for it; it's not sad its not pathetic, its just depressing - if i've understood correctly, the fact you believe, that YOU have some control, over what I say? Pretend that way, if it gives you some comfort. But what some people are trying to do, is simply communicate like human beings. And that means the whole bag. I'm not perfect. Neither are you. But at least I'M honest. At least I know where I'm at. Know what I do. Know what I say. And choose to say and do the best thing as is within my current realm of knowledge. So in that sense, I am perfect, in my imperfection; because I accept, that I must never stop striving to be better, something more. Thats as good a definition of the Human Soul as any, would you not agree? So you call me, "IT" if it makes you feel slightly less insecure. I forgive you, but only on the day you ask to be forgiven. No worries my friend.

    *bleep*in bullshit man, making me sound like a sex offender or something now. Get your priorities in order man, you got issues. You're not me. You dont know what I'm looking for. You wanna know what I'm looking for, on a discussion website, einstein? I'll tell you yeh? DISCUSSION. Nothing else. Jesus Christ man, I dont think anyone could have predicted that one.

    yeh alright, first of all that doesnt make any sense at all there my friend. Second of all you didnt have to do anything. Third of all you're all a bunch of hypocrites and liars man. What you want is drama. Go watch a soap. If you dont wanna start a discussion with me, then dont start one. If you compare me to a child on a playground, I'm gonna respond. You know why? Because you're wrong, and I'm not a spiteful person. As such I'd rather correct you than see you continue to be wrong.

    Continue waiting for me to "put my foot in my mouth" my friend. you're gonna die waiting. I dont type with my feet.
