Without further adieu, our next installment in the series, my Guild Wars Ranger/Monk and actor Richard Chamberlain, TV’s Dr. Kildare, the Big Screen’s Alain Quartermain and star of the TV mini-series adaptation of James Clavell’s Shogun.

The latest installment of our continuing series. I give you LotRO’s Captain’s Herald and Tom Wopat, vocal stylist and star of stage and screen (both big and small) whom you may remember as Luke Duke from the 1970’s television hit, The Dukes of Hazzard.

Separated At Birth, Chapter Two: LotRO

13 09 2007

The second in a continuing series of comparisons with a bit of a twist: two alternatives. I give you Barliman Butterbur, Tavern Keep of the LotRO’s Prancing Pony, Phil Collins from his early Genesis days and Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull, whom some may recall received the first and only Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Performance or Vocal in 1989 beating out those wimps from Metallica. Flautists FTW!

Separated At Birth, Chapter One: Eve Online

6 09 2007

I’ve been contemplating a series of these comparisons among MMO characters and/or NPCs with real life people for some time, but I’ve only recently gotten around to acting on this sick sick impulse. A small irony is that in Eve, I actually see the face of my character more than in most MMOs since its always visible in the chat window and I’m not relegated to looking mostly at the back of my character’s head.

So for installment number 1, I give you my character Dentikar Kapterian from Eve Online and Michael Berryman, most famous as the actor from Wes Craven’s cult classic, The Hills Have Eyes. Without further adieu, I give you, Separated at Birth, Chapter 1:
