Awesome, I’ll listen to it on my way out.
Thank you for making & uploading the show Jeff. I heard it on my way to work.
Thanks for calling in Justin. Final Fantasy 13 was also the biggest news for me at E3 2008.
The interview with Mr. Bob Bergen was great.
Keep up the great work.
thanks for this jeff.
Determination seems to be the x factor for anyone that wants to be successful . Strange show, but a amusing one.
Hi Jeff,
Being a voice actor myself, and having met Bob Bergen, I had to make it here to listen. I enjoyed visiting and listening to this informative podcast. Keep up the great work!
Best, Bobbin Beam
Isn’t my hubby wonderful! Too bad Jenny McCarthy, I got him!
Great show, and great interview (I’d like to hear more of these).
I’d like to hear more about Scene It 2 now, and the avatar system – it looks very neat in the trailers.
Hey Guys
Just finished the show and it rocked. Loved Hearing from Bob Bergen. You guys should try to get John Di Maggio for another voice actor, He has done quite a bit of video game work as Marcus Fenix from gears, Halo 3, even final fantasy.
I Especially love his work with Futurama as Bender.
Can’t wait for the next show.
Later
The Bob Bergen interview was entertaining. I loved the story about how he got into the industry. I would definitely be interested in hearing more from voice actors.
I also would like to hear some of the writers talk about their side of the process.
* Do they ever write a story for a game they want to be made? Then pitch that to a developer who rolls with it?
* What are the challenges writers come across when writing for a game?
* What are some of the major criticisms that writers receive for their games?
* Do writers ever work with a group of writers to nail down the story or do they do it all solo?
I’d also like to hear from the animation people and possibly some of the artists.
Another great show! Thanks!
Love the voice actor interview.
You guys should try and get an interview with Keith David – he’s a pretty prolific video game voice actor. He did the voices of (off the top of my head):
• Halo – The Arbiter
• Mass Effect – Captain Anderson
• Saints Row – Julius
I’d love to know how he got into the business.
Just got a note From Bob Bergen that he’s once again doing the voice of Luke Skywalker for Robot Chicken Star Wars on Adult Swim, November 16th. Check it out!
Really enjoyed the interview with Bergen. It made me search Youtube for Mel Blanc videos. Anyway, I agree that John DiMaggio would be a great guest.
when can i download the e3 press conference from marketplace?
These podcasts are great, subscribed to on iTunes and listen to ‘em as i walk round my paper round, certainly perks up my mornings i’ll tell you that.
Really keep up all the great work you’re doing because I wouldn’t be suprised if often you think if anyone’s listening or even bothering with your podcast but trust me, they are, and we all you know you’re doing a quality job.
Anyway, i’ll climb out of your arses’ there for a sec and just lead you onto this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7J80KD4BG7M it’s called ‘Freeman’s Mind’ if you haven’t already seen it, i really highly recommend it, very funny.
Anyway keep it up x
Jovante i asked that same question in my first podcast. I posted it online. I am wondering as well where it is.
