OK, so simply up there, the actually bizarre Balatro Friends of Jimbo (Pack 3) reveal trailer? Yeah, there is a weirder model of that. Well, there’s outtakes from that, the video the place Balatro writer Playstack apparently paid comparatively well-known voice actor Ben Starr to be a foolish clown. Which is to say that the voice actor of Clive from Final Fantasy 16 and Prometheus from Hades 2 is uh, you already know, a goofy clown.
But apparently Ben Starr has some behind the scenes outtakes from the filming of that trailer. I say this as a result of he has posted them to Twitter and they’re extraordinarily unhinged and borderline NSFW on account of what’s carried out to these bananas.
This trailer is simply the newest of the trailers for Balatro’s smorgasbord of crossovers with different video games, its “Friends of Jimbo” patches which have launched but extra little pixel representations of pixel individuals to go on playing cards to attain factors with. This one’s a (free) pack of crossovers with Divinity Original Sin 2, Shovel Knight, Potion Craft, Enter the Gungeon, Cult of the Lamb, Don’t Starve, 1000xRESIST, and Warframe.
The first Friends of Jimbo pack launched in August, bringing alongside all method of little bizarre guys like an Among Us astronaut and Geralt, from The Witcher. The second Friends of Jimbo got here in October, including crossovers like Stardew Valley, Cyberpunk 2077, and Slay the Spire.
None of these, nonetheless, had a live-action trailer just like the one for this final Friends of Jimbo pack. “I’ve a of of fucking buddies,” says Jimbo, as portrayed by Ben Starr.
Poker-themed deckbuilder Balatro is the sport that triggered PC Gamer to proclaim, this yr, that the way forward for gaming belongs to bizarre little video games. Which is one thing the remainder of the yr bore out, as Balatro continued to promote—breaching 3.5 million copies offered and even going to cell platforms—proving that its infectious humorousness and unusual little soundtrack belong in gaming historical past books. You ought to most likely go play it now. I do know I’m going to.
