    Jeff, I am sorry but you sounded more like the guy who used to be the voice of countless trailers. But i havent played Gears in a while so i cant give an honest oppinion but i do know one thing for sure, the podcast was really great :D .

    I sound like Don LaFontaine?? Dude, I couldn’t ask for a better compliment.

    I’m not sure ANY of you sound like Fenix…I think you sound like, if your were wearing the Gears armor, there’d be a heck of a lot of wiggle room in there :)

    I thnk your voices are more suited to classic lines such as “He was a cop…now he’s on the run…”

    Great show guys :)

    @Jeffrey Kafer, well, it is my pleasure to give you that compliment, i asked today two of my colleagues at work to listen to that part of the podcast and they agree (I work in a Cinema so we heared Don LaFontaines voice a lot) and you really sounded like him, but that is just the oppinion of me and two of my colleagues.
    Keep up the great podcasts guys :) , allways great to listen to it.

    I think you both fail at sounding like Marcus, if only because the was no swearing… :)

    Jeff, you sounded more like Solid Snake than Marcus Fenix. But hey, at least you do sound like a video game character.

    Again, another great show!
    Your improvisations aren’t that good but that irish voice (girl from Lips) was amazing :D

    Great stuff guys. When you guys are having fun, it really comes across and makes it fun for the listener. As far as test teams I would like to hear from…pretty much all the big releases: Gears 2, Left 4 Dead (especially about the “director”), and Fallout 3. I know you all are in this stuff all day, so it might not seem that interesting, but for the rest of us who just love games, learning about some of the behind the scenes goings on is pretty great. Thanks and take care.

    It was great to hear about how a xbox game was really tested on this episode. Sound like some interesting boundary cases and integration issues. Please keep up the more interesting aspects to how the games are tested (and less about WOW).
