Let me also put Dee Bradley Baker out there. There are a lot of great voice actors with amazing range, but this man is in his own league. But even he is overshadowed by the great ...
Frank Welker
This is the "Busiest Man in Voice Acting," possibly the most prolific who ever lived. He started in 1969 and he's still working today. He's especially masterful with animal noises (example: Abu from Aladdin). Just check out his imdb, seriously.

Sorry about the video link. Credited Jennifer Hale with Blossom's voice in PPG when she was actually the voice of Ms. Keane. Will fix video and re-upload.
It's good to do proper research.
edit: ok, fixed it.

I expect I'll do a Tara Strong video at some point. I think I'm planning on John Di Maggio for the next one.

Because they so rarely get the recognition they deserve.
This is the first in a series of "Voice Actor Tribute" videos I hope to make. I enjoy following voice actors' careers and finding out just how many of my favorite games and shows they've been involved in. There's a lot of under-praised talent working in this field and I hope this kind of video exposes them a little further.

So enjoy this first video in the series, discuss your favorite voice actors and, if you like, make such a video of your own. There are far too many actors for me to cover.

I'm sure we all agree that the game is fun, but I still think most of Yahtzee's points are valid. I don't think the flaws outweigh the game's strengths, but the flaws do exist.
This just isn't the kind of game Yahtzee tends to like. As such, the game's weaknesses are much more obvious to him and all the more off-putting.

This game is soooooo fun.

This piece has a very subtle beauty that's common in most of Soule's work. It doesn't go out of its way to grab your attention, but there's plenty of quality to find if you look closely. While it may not stray far from the source, Soule did a really great job of reinforcing the strengths of the original melody.
All in all, this sort of mix is a real honor for our community; both as a contribution from the professional side of the fence and as a great piece of music. I'd love to hear more from Soule around here if he finds the time someday.

I have the beta ready to go, but it seems Konami wasn't quite ready for the number of testers they had. The U.S. beta opening was delayed until the 25th. Hopefully, they'll have things ready for us by then.

I'm not too worried about a small lull. I'll still take a mediocre South Park episode over the best episode of most any other show on TV right now.
-
I need to play the first one through all the way. I forget why I stopped, but now that I know the cop from Heroes voiced the main character, I'm double-excited to pick it up again.
Shame they replaced the actor for the sequel.

Currently enrolled as an Animation grad student at the Savannah College of Arts & Design. However, I was also just accepted to a new program called Animation Mentor and I may be switching over. With luck, I'll finally be able to break into this accused industry within two years and get started with real life at last.
-
Whoa, where'd all the other character animators come from? I thought I was alone here.
-
It would seem that No More Heroes has finally made it across the pond. Yahtzee has opinions.
-
After renting the game, I really don't think it's worth purchasing. The gameplay is nothing special, every character is obnoxious and the whole thing just feels a bit juvenile. There are dozens of better shooters you could spend your money on.

Rejecting my WIP for this project is the biggest mistake you ever made.

well after discussing the exclusion of downloadable songs on the Wii with my pretend-guitarist/wife, we have decided to buy a 360 specifically for Rock Band.
I still think internet play is not a selling point, but the lack of DLC is a dealbreaker for us.
You won't regret that decision. Rock Band and it's DLC are worth buying a 360.
-
But about the PSX, the only AAA games I know for it are Crash Bandicoot 1-3, Gran tourismo 1-2, Omega boost, and FF7. Did I miss something the PSX had(aside from cheap disks) that made it take first place?
I was an N64 owner myself during that era, but the PSX had way more than just those games going for it.

Becoming an animator. My music-making time has vanished.

I had a magazine a few months back that counted and listed the new IPs published by every big game publisher between 2006-2007. If I recall, Nintendo was one of those with the fewest. I want to say Ubisoft had the most. I need to find that article again.
Nintendo has such a great track record for quality, it really would be nice to see what they could do with more new projects.
-
I don't know. The 360 easily has the strongest catalogue of games so far. It's true that most of the strongest offerings have been first party or multi-platform, but there are some serious gems to be had. Much more than can be found on competing consoles anyway (as of now). I hope the other two catch up eventually.
While there are a bunch of great games out there for it, I doubt we'll see any great "sucker punches" of games like the plethora of 3rd party stuff that came out for the PS2. Now THAT was amazing. Hell, it's STILL amazing.Very, very true. I'd love to see that kind of 3rd party output somewhere this generation.

I think Nintendo's heart is in the right place, and I would understand if they kept using such irritating online systems to maintain their consoles' image as family-friendly gaming devices. But unless they figure out some way to make their safe online experience usable, I fear that they will really alienate the die-hard fan base they've been building for decades.
-
The Wii has almost no hard drive space and gimped online service. This news is disappointing, but it's not like it should come as a huge surprise.
-
Losing DLC is the real tragedy here. The real multiplayer fun for Rock Band is local. Always has been.
It seems strange to me that Harmonix/EA would actually choose to gimp the Wii version's online capabilities, especially given how the Wii seems to be outselling everything. That's a huge audience to lose. I know Harmonix/EA probably could make it happen if they wanted to sink the money into it. If Nintendo's online system wasn't so pathetic, I don't think this problem would have come up.
I feel really sorry for you Wii-exclusive folk. You really don't want to miss the DLC for Rock Band. There are more downloadable songs than tracks on the disc. There's a Boston 6-pack tomorrow.

Someone please tell me if my music is any good for Audiosurfing. This is one of those times when Mac ownership turns around and bites you.

Not quite a review this week, but fantastic nonetheless.
