It's always a little jarring to see the voice actors doing their work because after associating a voice with their character it's strange to see it come out of someone else. Like seeing another person's custom Shepard.

is it just me or does that always slightly messy hair tend to make Levine look even smarter?

I think it's that notion where there's so much stuff going on in their heads little things like a smart haircut don't register on the importance scale.

The dude who plays Booker also plays Two-Face and Nightwing in Arkham City. Doctor Alexander 'CEO' Jebailey of Orlando, Florida, conducted a 50 minute interview with him while playing Arkham City http://www.twitch.tv/ceogaming/b/298226116

After all this time, I still hadn't noticed that Troy Baker was the voice behind DeWitt.

Troy Baker could totally play Kanji in a live-action P4 movie, if that was to ever happen.

Except he's probably too old.

No one can top Nolan North. I love Troy Baker's work but Nolan North is the hardest working man in the industry. He's been nominated for and won a couple Northies.

Probably because you're conditioned by animated features that portray characters with Jewish facial features as mice or rats and Ken Levine has very strong Jewish features.

Don't care to start this debate all over again, there are enough threads of people talking in circles about the topic, but what you are describing is no different then the way male characters are given the same treatment with "traditional" male stereo types and un realistic physical attributes being applied to pretty much all male leads as well; but you never hear people standing on soap boxes demanding an end to that "injustice". Again I don't want this to turn into a giant quote tree debating sexism and all that crap, but it's just a pet peeve of mine whenever I see people come out of the closest to white knight female characters in games because the person that designed their clothes decided to show a little extra cleavage. Just like movies video games are an entertainment, and people like to see attractive people doing cool shit. So don't go crazy when a character that is designed to be powerful also looks attractive at the same time.

I know it's blasphemous to say, but as much as I enjoy the Bioshock franchise, I suddenly find myself entirely disinterested in Bioshock: Infinite. Don't get me wrong - it looks great. I'm sure it will be a blast. I just don't have this driving need to have it come out soon or play it. If you told me that it wouldn't be released for another two years, I would just say "yeah, that's cool" and mark it in my calendar and move on to something else.

I'll probably get excited when it releases. I was initially completely apathetic towards Arkham City, even disgusted by the pre-order and online pass bullshit and bam, it's on shelves and I am looking for money.
