When that woman started laughing or whatever, yikes.

For some reason that scene reminds me of this scene (not Nolan North): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5FTJxfV3pc

 

[I should be doing hw]

Even as the Penguin in Arkham City?

Haven't played it yet.

I'm sick of hearing his voice in every game.

You probably hear his voice when you think you're not.

He voices random bad guys in Arkham City, just started that yesterday. I think he may be joined by the bald white guy from the Wire "Herc" as random bad guy #2. I feel like he's in every game I play at this point...I started Skyrim tonight, and I keep thinking I hear him now.

Listen to his demo reel (or any of his non-Drake-voice performances) and you'll see that quality = quality.

I'm playing through the first Uncharted right now and I have quite a few of the games on that list, and damned if I can remember what his voice sounds like.

But if everyone loves him, that's fine. He's just not distinctive enough for me.

Added a bunch of games to the OP.

What the fuck. The "all we have is is raisins" line was gold though.

That's so Nathan Drake IRL.

Did you know he was Penguin? I had no idea.

Contractors get 3 voices for the standard rate. So in any game where he plays a role, you're likely to see him voice at least two more characters/roles...even where he plays a lead role.

He's definitely in games where you don't even recognize him. He's incredibly versatile. He actually is an awesome voice actor. Actually, based on Uncharted, I'm comfortable saying he's a pretty good actor period.

Why is there an asterix in the thread title? I mean, it is factually true that he is the greatest.

I think the problem is, ever since the Uncharted series exploded in popularity studios have hired him to basically play Nathan Drake; granted it's because he does that kind of character really well. When I found out he played Penguin in Arkham City I was reminded how versatile he really is. It's just unfortunate that he keeps being hired to play the same character in games that aren't Uncharted (like Dark Void).

I know, I need to get it edited. Originally I had a jokey subtitle but since then I've made the whole OP more serious.

If a mod could change it to Nolan North |OT|, or some such, I'd appreciate it.

There you go!

Thanks bud!
