In this week’s episode of Star Players, House of the Dragon star Abubakar Salim doesn’t want to think about the thousands of hours he’s played of World of Warcraft.
This week on Star Players, host Lucy James is joined by Abubakar Salim, game director of Tales of Kenzera: Zau, and actor best known for Raised By Wolves, House of the Dragon, and Ridley Scott’s Napoleon. Abubakar walks us through his gaming journey from his earliest memories playing Golden Axe, to the thousands of hours he’s played of World of Warcraft, to his favorite game of all time, Golden Sun.
NO WAY! I didn't know Abu was Rokhan! This is so cool!
So the name of the game is Golden axe. I played it with my brothers….
Ohhhh my…
Old memories
He's Rokhan?
The man now voices Rokhan the Leader of the Darkspears? That's so awesome!
What a MF LEGEND.
This is an awesome series
What a lovely interview. Can't wait to play Tales of Kenzera.
Golden Axe is the first game I also remember playing
holy cow man
Great work / interview! I love Abu! He’s amazing! 💕
I love Alyn in House of the Dragon and I'm also very fond of Salim's performance as Bayek of Siwa in Assassin's Creed: Origins! Wonderful character.
I never expected Abubaker to say The World Ends With You of all games, man is a legend for that alone 😭
Edit: You guys show the PS2 Kingdom Hearts footage, meanwhile Abubaker is discussing the OG TWEWY and you show footage from the sequal and not final mix?🤔
Lucy Said she didn't like the character of Bayek
Is there a podcast of this?
I played it from 2007 to 2011, in which I accrued ~4.3k hours.
I was 12–16. 😛
As a black wow player of 19 years, I love wow, but man some of the players are so incredibly racist.
This is a great idea for a series…I hope GameSpot keeps making these!
Didnt even talk about assassins creed? Playing it as a gamer after acting in it?
He has good taste in games
A really cool dude. Some great game choices.
I wanna check out these games now. Good storytelling in games is the best feeling
Golden Sun getting some mainstream attention
Love this series. 👍
Great interview!!! Real love and passion for the craft of gaming!!!
That 1st entrance in to Stormwind(back in the day) was Magical. I was a NE so I started in Darnassus. I had never seen a City that size in anything 3D. I wish People could experience the time Period where MMORPGs started to grow. We had our own language. Wo was my Religion from 2006-2012 haha.
P.S. GOTG is a game that deserved to sell much better than it did. It was a masterpiece!
Lucy is getting lost in the white background. She's doing a back to the future!
I love how both androids from Raised by Wolves are now in HOTD
I wasn't rich enough for the subscription in WoW….. And I've never had the dedication in games to put money on a monthly subscription
