moonshineshadow: I think it really depends on the game. I mean it was quite cool that the German voiceover for Indiana Jones and the Emporers Tomb was done by the dubbing actor of Harrison Ford :D
But for titles that have no connection to any films or something, there is no reason to get Hollywood actors to do the voicing, that is just silly.
Yes, totally agree. I was really happy that Vin Diesel did the voice for the Riddick game :-)
Kevin Spacey in Call of Duty, on the other hand... just... no. No need for that :-|

ddickinson: I am not really a big movie watcher, so I wouldn't know really. Would it not be more obvious in a movie with the person being different? In a game it is just a voice, but in a movie it is the whole person.

Sorry to hear about your headache, let's hope it goes away as the day goes on. I am doing good, thank you.
I didn't mean actors specfically but for example when a franchise is rebooted to broaden the audience which often ignores the old fans (like the Star Trek reboot did imho)

Glad to hear you're doing good...hope so too but i wouldn't bet on that though...

I often play games in English but that is the reason i'd always play that one in German. I mean there were some small oddities with the German Dub but it well done in general :).

ddickinson: Frogs are poison, some cultures use them to coat arrows with deadly poison. :-)

But Owl's do have breasts, all birds do (I think). So they do have boobs. :-)
No, my frogs are from french ponds, I wouldn't eat those tiny badass Amazonian poisonous multicoloured frogs, I'm not crazy...
Men have breast too, which doesn't mean they have boobs !!! >:-| Well... some men say they have "boobs"... :-| ... but.... >__< rhaaa.... **sigh**. I give up. LOL >__o

ddickinson: I have never understood the whole craze with celebrities. Like when a new movie is out and all they push is the leading actor more, not the story of the movie. Many of the actors seem to be more important to people than the movie itself, they go just to see the person. Which I think is a little sad. But as you say, it seems to get in more people and thus more money, and that is all the big companies care about.
It seems like Americans worship celebrities much more than other countries (I could be totally wrong, but this is the impression I get lately.) I am not immune to this ,',':-( but still, I don't fully understand how. I guess we are just totally bombarded with celebrities all day long, so we start to worship them like gods, and do whatever they say. I mean, daytime talk shows on every channel, followed by gossip shows on every channel, followed by celebrities in the news on every channel, followed by night-time talk shows on every channel. Plus, the newspapers and news websites all talk about them, and what they are saying on twitter or whatever...
... I forget my point. When does the next Liam Neeson movie come out again? :-p

Ah, I see. But I guess reboots are completely new movies, so they only keep the old actors if it will draw in the older fans as well as the new, like they are doing with the new Star Wars films. The only reason the old cast is involved is that the older fans hated the idea of the new movies without them. So they will probably be in the first movie to please the fans then gone forever, making way for the usual Disney type characters to take over.

Yes. That's why i referred to franchises which tend to convert not only characters but most things into the Disney type....
Hello guys, how are you everybody? :)

Don't men have chests instead of breasts?

The definition I just looked up for breasts was:
"Either of the two soft, protruding organs on the upper front of a woman's body which secrete milk after childbirth."

And besides, you keep posting pictures that prove birds have boobs. Or did they just have boob jobs done? :-)

You are not wrong, but sadly your culture is spreading all over and more and more places are getting like that (waves angry fist at the Americans for ruining everything :-)). Don't forget all the award shows where they turn up in dresses worth thousands, with jewellery worth millions, then they are lead down a red carpet and given awards just for doing their jobs, and often they don;t even do them very good, I mean no accents on films, no good acting, just the same performance from the same actors no matter what film it is. Heaven forbid these actors who are paid millions actually be able to act. :-)

I don't know... I'm french !!! :-| in French "poitrine" (chest) is used for both genders... "seins" (boobs) only for woman...
Hey, doesn't it look like surgery ? :) the colour is not even matching... owls don't have boobs, unless they had to do plastic surgery...

I have to go... I might login back later :)
Have a good morning/lunch/afternoon !!
**Big hugs all around**

We use chest for both here sometimes as well. :-)

Okay, I will just take your word on it. But we all know they do. :-p

Take care, lovely Owl. Have a nice day at work. *big hug*

*hides from angry fist* ,','',:-|

And yes, very good points :-) But don't forget that they get gift baskets worth tens of thousands of dollars even if they lose the award! We wouldn't want them to go home to their multi-million dollar mansions empty-handed :-)
And just what do I do exactly to prevent my posts to be low rated? I'm lost.
I have finally gotten Fearful's top 10 birthday list. So if you would like to get her a little something for her birthday, please let me know and I will send you the list.

*throws a big rock at the hiding Agent while still waving fist* :-)

So they get something even if they lose? No wonder they behave like spoilt children.
