More On: Tales from the Borderlands Evolve

There are good voice casts, and then there are special voice cast, and the announcement that Chris Hardwick, Sam Witwer, and Patrick Warbourton will lend their voices to Telltale Games's Tales from the Borderlands is definitely special.

If the names aren't familiar to you, then you're not a very good nerd.  Sorry. Chris Hardwick is the head of the Nerdist family of podcasts, a comic and professional host who is great at everything he touches.  Sam Witwer was in Battlestar Galactica, was Starkiller in The Force Unleashed, and was the voice of Darth Maul in SW: The Clone Wars.  Patrick Warbourton was David Puddy on Seinfeld, the Tick, and too many other things to list.

Chris Hardwick and Sam Witwer will play best friends Vaughn and Rhys, two Hyperion employees searching for a lost vault key.    

And there's other Nerdist.com news.  Jessica Chobot, Dan Casey, Brian Walton, and Malik Forte will be playing Evolve throughout E3 week 

You can check out the Evolve E3 tournament on Twitch and find more information on Tales from the Borderlands on Nerdist.com.  You can find even more after the jump.
