After Dorothy Parker's quote, each uniquely manages to "run the gamut of emotions from A to B."

Always reassuring, despite the hopes of budget-minded producers to the contrary, to have it confirmed that sounding like an actual human under heightened circumstances does actually take some experience/skill/talent.

I've recently been enjoying a correspondence with the fellow who owns AudioAtrocities.com.

Of Chaos Wars he said, "I rushed that game to the front of the line because it was so bad."

From the AA Website:
Quote:
The usual suspects of Atrocious Acting are at play here, but in quantities even bad acting masochists would call gluttonous. Bad writing, nonsensical conversations, bad acting, miscast actors, stumbles, mumbles, miscues, really bad audio production work - it's all present and accounted for.

" be careful. you'll probably get sick ..." is a line that appears about :40 into it.

Interesting that all the last names of the voice actors and the CEO of the company are same. What a delicious coincidence!

Thanks for the link Jeff!
Gotta say I'm a fan of Platform Biased and I hope you guys set aside some time to talk about some of the E3 news from this week.
