If you’ve watch any cartoons produced in the last 20 years, you’ve probably heard the voice of Steve Blum. Blum has over 400 titles to his credit on his IMDb page. He is widely known to a generation of anime fans as the voice of Spike Speigel in Cowboy Bebop, and is just as widely known (if not more so) as the voice of Wolverine in basically any TV show or video game since X-Men Evolution. And this is just a small sampling of the different characters Blum has played over the years. You can currently hear him as the voice of Starscream in Transformers: Prime, or as the voice of Grayson Hunt in Bulletstorm, along with still playing Wolverine on Marvel’s Super Hero Squad and in Marvel Vs Capcom 3. I was able to talk to Blum for a few minutes to learn how he got started, what it’s like to be a professional voice actor, and much more.

Today, online retailer Amazon has a Gold Box full of games. The main Gold Box Deal of the day is Dragon Age II for only 40 bucks for Xbox 360, Playstation 3, or PC download. But the awesome doesn’t stop there.

ALL of today’s Lightning Deals will be video games and accessories too, giving you a whole day to order new games to your heart’s content. See the main Lightning Deals page and check the right column to watch as deals pop up all day. The first one, De Blob 2, is already up on sale.

From 9am through 10pm EST (today, Tuesday, March 22, 2011), a new deal will go up every 2-3 hours and only be available for a few hours OR sooner while supplies last — and they sell out fast!

The deals items are not revealed until the second they go on sale, but there is a small hint that’s there. A commenter on the Gold Box deal page thinks he has solved all of Amazon’s riddles and knows what the lightening deals will be. See below.

Game publisher EA hit the twitterverse the other day to release a new video titled “Last Call” from game designer Epic Games’ new game, Bulletstorm. The video is a spoof of the Halo 3 ad titled “Believe,” using action figures a la Robot Chicken to show characters from the game.

At first I thought Epic was being tongue-in-cheek, poking fun at the ads they had made for the Gears of War games. Which I thought was weird since they have one more game to go. Then I realized that I’ve seen that advertising style before, in Halo. Now if they were making fun of Halo with a Gears ad it would make sense. They are both Microsoft Game Studio published games and Xbox exclusives, however Bulletstorm is being released by EA for Xbox, PlayStation, and PC. I wonder what Microsoft thinks of all this? Both videos are embedded below for your viewing pleasure.
