I thought this was pretty good. It got me interested in what the game was, anyway!

The later voice actors were terrible, however. It gave it a very unprofessional vibe by the end. The first actor was great, though. It just fell apart at the end when the other actors spoke. It's the hardest thing, voice acting. Total Biscuit was just interviewing the owner of Nexus, and they were discussing Voice Acting as what is the one thing differenting mods/indy with professional.

I'm offering to help, Jonesy. I can actually do that voice acting crap. I sound like a top 40 DJ if I want! I actually sound like Mel Blanc and shit in real life. I've actually done the voices for some other dude's game, like 10 years ago or so. It shows whenever I do a Google vanity search. Sorry, but those actors suck and I could do better so I offered. Don't blame me when Tom Chick complains not enough people have sweet pipes like a deceased crooner. And you'll be like, "Damn, should've listened to Roop."

I should always listen to Roop! I agree with you since *I* was the guy who had the first line after my pal who is going to university for all manner of stage things. I agree that I suck, and I should never be allowed to speak or be shown in these things. Do you want to record my line for me? It's the one that goes, "We can't get past the chemical plant. There's 12 Jonestown truthers in there." I still have the project in Premiere and can give myself the boot. And I agree with how in just how difficult voice acting is. It sounds like one of those things people ought to be able to do a passable job for, but when Alexander (the guy who did most of the VO in the trailer) sent me his recording I was blown away. (And he admits he has a long way to go before he's happy with how he's doing it.)

Thanks for watching the trailer!
