The main cool thing about this was that the press spun it as it being good because Ken Levine now gets to make indie games.

It's cool that Ken Levine had two jobs as project director of BS:I, which were to get the game out on time, and under budget, and he badly failed at both of those duties, and somehow is a genius.

here's an important question to ask yourself if you're trying to figure out whether or not something is a game: who the gently caress cares

'is gone home a video game?'
'will you ever get laid?'
'the answer to both these questions is no!!!!!!!'

Too bad they need more money for Elijah Wood and Jack Black because who knows what kind of pile of poo poo it would be without Hollywood voice acting.

here is who you should consider for voice actor roles:

1) professional voice actors
2) b/c-list hollywood/tv genre actors that people who play your game will recognize, and like (see: schultz, dwight)
3) the developers of your game

Jim Ward is my favorite professional voice actor, he was the weird-accented radio guy in FEAR and Doktor in MGR:R

DROD does the venerable "have people who post on your official forums do the voice acting" method and it's really bad but endearing

you guys are all objectively wrong because Conker's Bad Fur Day exists and it is the greatest literary masterpiece and it would not be the same without the horrible low-quality voice acting recorded by angry british people who make platforming games for children as a career choice
