David Hayter - Solid Snake (Metal Gear Solid)
George Byrd - Grey Fox (Metal Gear Solid)
Rob Paulsen - Grey Fox (Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes)
Jennifer Hale - Naomi (Metal Gear Solid), Alex (Eternal Darkness)
Guy Cihi - James (Silent Hill 2)
Chris Seavor - Most of the voices in Conker's BFD

But one person really and truly stands out among them all. Jennifer Hale . If you haven't played a game with her in it yet, you are SERIOUSLY missing out. RUN, don't walk to the store, and rent/buy/steal the game.

My imaginary car weighs nothing, but requires a driver. I (imagine that ;) I weigh 200lbs, and a gallon of gasoline has 1.32E8 joules. A joule is "consumed" in moving 1 Kg 1 meter, a pound is 0.45359237Kg, and 1 mile is 1 609.344 meters. So my imaginary car can get, at best, 1200MPG. A real car will be heavier, and get less than 100% energy efficiency from the gasoline. Even my imagination, powerful enough to reduce my weight to 150lbs, can't make 1200 >= 1700.

I would have to agree with the parent poster on this one. The voice acting blew me away. Carth Onasi was great! I loved how you could make him put his foot in his mouth, and he kept stumbling over himself trying to apologise! Not to mention Jolee Bindo! I first took notice of this actor in Animatrix, and was surprised to see him in Lilo & Stich. Incredible voice actor, as he has already been in 25 productions since finishing KOTOR.

But I think what blew me away the most was the use of well known hollywood actors to play bit parts! If I were to make assumptions, I would assume that these are the people who really love their craft, and are willing to take any job, even if it isn't some high profile production with their name in lights. Those are the actors I respect the most.

If I were to push my assumptions even further, if voice acting like this were combined with the details in characters that we will see in Half-Life 2, I think we are going to see some extremely memorable performances by some unknown actors, and it just might shake up how actors and characters are viewed by the Hollywood Studios.

Of course, Kevin Michael Richardson was memorable as Jolee Bindo in ST:KOTOR but I'll always remember him as Saverok from Baldur's Gate. The true gems of KOTOR were John Cygan who also voiced Solidus from MGS2 and Kristoffer Tabori who voiced HK-47, probably one of the best droid comedic relief roles.

David Hayter, voice actor for Solid Snake of Metal Gear Solid / Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes and Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance. Also, incidentally, the writer for X-Men and X-Men 2. Filmography at imdb.

Yeah, but the video game adaptation of Battleship Potemkin sucked. You could only play as the carriage!

With you "Moore's law" and your Radeon 9800's. You consumeristic, built-in obsolence society is a scource on Mother Earth!

I suggest you all watch "Yank Tanks"[*] to see how people in the rest of the world make do with what they've got instead of squandering their lives in the pursuit of material things!

[*]Actually, I do reccommend this film. I could very well envision these people living in some sort of William Gibson futureworld underclass, carefully nursing along long-dead technology and using things for purposes other than their intended use.

How very W.C. Fields.

It was called The Core.

there are quite a few i can think of. many are indy flicks

• angels in america. in particular, the plots following roy cohn (total bastard, both in the play and in real life) and joe pitt.
• lilies. brilliant (in my not so humble opinion). the action centers on a group of prisoners performing a play describing the events in a small french canadian town in 1912. as the story unfolds, we see a tale of jealousy, revenge, confession, and ultimately the righting of an injustice. (yes, deliberately ambiguous so as to avoid spoilers)
• midnight in the garden of good and evil
• bent. a story of love in nazi death camps.
• gods and monsters. a chronicle of the last days of james whale's (director of frankenstein) life.
• taboo. samurai flick with a twist.
• speedway junky
• the hours

this is precisely the reason the Firefox was equipped with thought guided missiles...to destroy unseen threats.

You sound just like Mok :

Evil spelled backward is "live," and we all want to live, don't we?

A movie on this was already created - called "Lightning: Bolts of Destruction." It dealt with the reversal of poles being responsible for a large lightning storm.

I believe the name of the movie is "The Core" -- IMDB listing

Too late.

Done already.

Didn't bother me that they did it, wouldn't really bother me if they bleeped, but one should expect, I think, that a government-operated media outlet will align itself with the government in power. Not a shocker...

TSG

Oh.. and one more thing.. Isn't there enough stuff named 'Chevy Chase' around here? It makes me sick. I never understood, is the town and everything else named after him? Or was he named after the town?

Since when has it been acceptable to say those words on broadcast television?

All civilized countries leave this to the discretion of the tv station (to show "adult" material at appropriate times) and the good taste of the audience (to turn it off if they don't like it).

The first time I heard signifcant quantities of four-letter words on TV was Phoenix, arguably the best cop show ever made (anther contender would be Between the Lines, a fine piece of drama, also with adult language and themes). It was all in context, and made perfect sense: the people the Major Crime Squad track down are not nice people at all, and their command of English reflects this.

Neither show was produced by U.S. television. Neither show was produced by a commercial tv network. Do you suppose there is a connection?

...laura who would love to see Phoenix again

Ever thought of offering alternative data access services other than HTML ?
examples of other successful community driven sites such as IMDB can be queried via email (in a structured way) and a huge number of applications are now built upon these capabilities alone, ever thought of offering up the data in alternative formats (XML/SOAP/TELNET/TXT etc etc) so clever programmers can create applications that could utilise the data in new and interesting ways ?

Not only that, but what about the Beach Boys "Good Vibrations?" (Think about it. A Theremin is in there.) Here's a really interesting documentary on Leon Theremin and his invention.

Do you really want to hold up metal fans as exemplars? LOL! You obviously haven't seen Heavy Metal Parking Lot or even The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years.

For the record, I like both metal and techno.

A friend of mine was an extra on Sin City recently. He said that they were using the graphic novel as the actual script.

Dick Tracey was phased out for superman, MacGuyver for Star Trek.

It's kind of weird seeing this article on /. considering that I just watched "The fog of war" on the weekend. I highly reccommend everyone watch it.

Anyway, the movie is 11 lessons from Robert S. McNamara. He was the secretary of defence for Kennedy, and was there for the cuban missle crisis. He also participated in fire bombing japan during WWII. It's interesting wisdom right from the horse's mouth.

One of the interesting lessons he has is that "There must be proportionality to war". In one night they had killed 100,000 people by firebombing bombing Tokyo. He addmitted that if the U.S. had lost WWII, he would have been charged and convicted of war crimes. Well, they then went on to firbomb 66 other japanese cities. In the end of it, they had killed more japanese civilians then the atomic bombs.

So after watching the movie. I was trying to figure out more depth to this lesson. As you point out they could have saved lives by killing hundreds (millions?) of thousands of people. It could easily be millions, remember 1 attack on Tokyo killed 100,000 people. With 66 more attacks, they could have reached the million people mark. I think his point is that if you're willing to drop a massive bomb and kill a shit load of people, you better be ready to have it done to you. It's the basis of Mutually Assured Destruction. If you kill a shit load of people you actually raise the bar of acceptable behavior in war.

So if it was acceptable to drop the bomb and firebomb japan. Would it have been acceptable to that being done to the U.S.?
