James McAvoy, who gives voice to the recently released video game Twelve minutes but perhaps best known as this point for portraying the younger Professor Xavier in the X-Men movie franchise, he apparently frequently plays video games such as Call of Duty: Warzone with friends at the time, but apparently there was a period of about ten years in which he didn’t play video games much. According to a recent interview focused largely on the new video game, this is apparently due to a devastating robbery. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion this concluded with him actually burning the disc on the stove to prevent it from playing.
As part of a broader interview on Twelve minutes with Forbes, McAvoy recalled his obsession with the video game in 2007 while filming the movie Becoming Jane. “My partner at the time bought me an Xbox 360 and The Elder Scrolls IV: OblivionIt was a kind of game that had always been small: role-playing games, Zelda, Secret of Mana, all that kind of stuff. I like fantasy role – playing games. “
And it seems that love continued Oblit, letting McAvoy go to bed late and get up early. “And I stay until four in the morning while playing Oblit“, Added.” And I was thinking, “This game sends me into Oblivion.”
Things apparently ended with McAvoy one night when he went to bed at 5:35 in the morning only to ring his car at 5:45 in the morning. “I say to myself,‘ My God, I need to do something, ’” he said. “So I got up, took the disc out of the Xbox 360 and turned on the ceramic hob. I just put the disc in it and I saw it a little bit, like, singing and melting a little bit. And it was like, ‘Well, we’re done, we’re done, never again! ‘ “
Twelve minutes or 12 minutes, in which James McAvoy provides his voice to the main character alongside Daisy Ridley and Willem Dafoe, is currently available for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One and PC via Steam and Windows Store.
