In the Game: Death of the Dinklebot

Following widespread criticism online, Peter Dinklage’s performance as the Ghost in Bungie’s best-selling video game, Destiny, has been erased. Every trace of it has been purged from the game, as the company replace the Game of Thrones star with the voice acting talents of Nolan North, whose past work has included just about every video game ever (the best known being Nathan Drake in the Uncharted series, Desmond Miles in the Assassin’s Creed series, and the Penguin in the Batman: Arkham franchise). The decision has proved divisive amongst the gaming community, with some siding with the Dinklebot and others with the Nolanbot, swiftly becoming gaming’s very own Team Edward and Team Jacob. While only time will tell how this goes down in posterity, nothing that North could ever say could receive quite as much derision as Dinklage’s now-infamous “that wizard came from the moon” line.
