I'm not that familiar with big named actors so I would say they are about even.

But I know I'm in the minority.

I hardly watched movies so most of the big named actors I would name are probably not even acting anymore or they aren't a big name anymore.

SUPER MARIO MAKER LEVELS:

  • SMB Mix-Up! (1AB2-0000-0047-5A7D)
  • Storm the Castle (77BD-0000-00E0-A9C0)

I can name 2: Nolan North (because he pops up everywhere, all the time) and Kiefer Sutherland or something, who did MGS.  Oh yeah, and that guy who voices Mario, if I should care to think about his name for a bit.  And something tells me he's not affiliated to SAG-AFTRA.  Nyaa  Point is I could name more actors, even just from Star Wars alone.

And clearly even big names like Kiefer are easily replaceable.  If such is their worth, why should publishers consider paying them royalties?

So I've never experienced a pop up ad on a tv screen before & honestly didn't know it was even allowed.


I'm sitting here playing MGS5 when out of nowhere I get a fucking Toyota ad on my screen. I was like WTF is this?! I thought for a moment it was Kojima doing his usual crazy mind games....but no!

Apparently companies have started sneaking ads right into smart tvs....because you know, we don't see enough ads as it is.

You have to go into tv settings and manually disable that shit. Ridiculous beyond words.


Thanks, Samsung.

LOL amazing.

Keifer wasn't replaced, though? Do you mean David Hayter, the dude Keifer replaced?

Yes.  Seems like I inadvertently proved my point better than I thought.

Yeah I don't think voice acting is all that critical to a video game. It's nice if it's good, but it doesn't change the overall quality of a game. If bad voice acting could damage a game, Symphony of the Night would have been unplayable.

That said, I get why voice actors are considering the strike when they see a game like GTA V selling 40 million copies or however many it's sold. Who wouldn't want a bigger piece of that pie?

Harry Shearer, the voice of Mr. Burns and several others on the Simpsons recently quit the show (and rejoined a month later) over something along these lines. In an interview I heard him put it like this. "I've recently understood you can have two very different opinions on the same matter. At the same time I feel lucky to make so much money for doing what's really very little work, and I get very angry that it's not more."

[gonintendo.com]Splatoon - Tri-Slosher will be available tonight/tomorrow

What the hell is a Tri-Slosher?  Hrm  I'm guessing more spread and less reach?  Also, it looks a lot less advanced than the regular slosher.  And even that was just a bucket with a spring.

If you're doing the voice for a GTA game, you'd be an idiot not to know it'll sell tens of millions of copies.  They're contractors, they get paid per job, they should just try to negotiate a better wage before signing the contract.  Or perhaps they don't dare to as individuals as they realise they're not inexpendable.  Like I said, their other demands are much more reasonable.

That certainly is. In fact, I find it offensive that you PAY for a appliance and it has advertising.

Though I am also the guy who takes all the labels off everything I buy at the grocery store as I put it away.

FUCK advertising.

Also, please do listen to episode 73 of the game under podcast.

The voice actor thing was resolved years ago for US production though. It was a big deal at the tiem, but basically you have to hire SAG members for VO work, which comes with all the benefits therein.

Iga_Robot I hope you have the grand canyon on your list.

And if in Southern California I suggest Disneyland (because Disneyworld is for losers), San Diego Wild Animal Park (not the zoo).  Yosemite is likely too north for you, as would the redwood forests, which are also a good place to go. If you are a golfer, stop by Palm Springs for a day and night.

If going to Phoenix stay in Scottsdale and only Scottsdale. The rest of the burbs of phoenix are as generic as it comes. I used to stay in the art district, which also has legitimately good restaurants.

Only go to Vegas if you want to rant about US decadence for the rest of your life or you actually enjoy playing blackjack and all you can eat buffetts that provide a low level of food quality.

Skip everything else until you get to Florida unless it is New Orleans. (tongue partially in cheek). Once in Florida? I dunno, Cape Canaveral? Do they have a Litte Havana?

Asspro, I am going to visit Loisiana and Florida. Won't be at all those places you mentioned.

Hope it is good I haven't played a Tony Hawk game since Downhill Jam and Project 8 I think that was either 2006 or 2007.

I have every Tony Hawk game from Pro Skater to Downhill Jam I had Project 8 but my brother sold it.

I stopped after 4.  It was good, but I was already feeling burned out by the yearly sequels.

I almost stopped after 4 I was kind of let down from that game after 3. But Underground became my favorite. The game after Project 8 was the last one I actually played but it was just the demo. That demo was a glitchy mess so I quit playing the series.

Downhill Jam was different since it wasn't like the other games it was a racing game.
