Just watching Drive with Nathan Fillion, and I'm struck by the similarities to Twsited Metal video game. Anyone else familier and seeing the connections?
Even the vehicles are straight out of the game.
Oh, and Jubal is in it too, very cool indeed!

Haven't played the game, but was very pleased to see the actor who played Jubal Early (I spent several seconds thinking 'why is that voice so creepily familiar?!')
And Nathan Fillion rocks, but we already knew that 
Overall, I have to say I loved the first 2 hours and am definitely going to be watching next week!

Do they have a killer clown? That clown kicked ass.

Yep, that's the one.
The premise is the same. The game recruits people by offering them something, 1 wish, their greatest need fufilled, but the catch is, they have to win at any cost. Oh, and the prize is tainted.

Don't forget Mr. Grimm, who if memory serves was Death itself. I always loved that character, but his special manuver was so damn hard to aim. (can you tell I'm a video game geek

Well I already mentioned this on another thread. Seems we Canadian's got a sneak peak before our American brethren did. It was alright. I wasn't blown away but it was alright.
The Winnipeg Free Press has it's own form of tv guide called TV Scene (more a large paper mag) And Nathan's on the cover holding up a picture of his wife. The critic gave it a great review. Wish I could upload the picture but I don't have any pic account.

Oh, and am I wrong or the woman playing his wife the one who played Fred on Angel? I've only seen a few Angel epi's but she looks like Fred/Aleria or whatever her name is.
Just wanted to edit: The woman that's in Deepgirl187's banner. Isn't she the one playing his wife?

Misstressahara I was trying to figure out who she was. Thank-you! That's exactly who it is.
And I agree, it was alright.
Back to the original question... has anyone played Twisted Metal?
Mr. Grimm was my vehicle of choice too. Once you got the hang of his special, it was devastating.

I thought so, I couldn't tell when they showed her picture but when...

He was having those delusions of her standing next to him while he was interrogating that inside agent I said "Hey I know who that is, that's Fred."
I guesse Minear's keeping it in the family.

Great game.
...and I'll get to watch our cap'n on Sun.

Where were the video game geek girls when I was growing up?
Yeah... I remember Mr. Grimm. Scary dude.
I loved the Twisted Metal Black on PS2. That game rocked.
I'll have to check out drive now. I don't watch shows just because somebody is in it, but this sounds pretty cool. "A government is a body of people, usually notably ungoverned." http://www.myspace.com/6ixstringjack
