In Response To: Re: To laugh or to cry (Andrew Nagy (school))

: I recently arrived at the conclusion that Wayne Pygram of Farscape
: would sound awesome reading most of Durandal's terminals (as Scorpius
: for some, Harvey for others). Has anyone else ever imagined that?

Not until now, but he would fit the role well.

: Alternatively, if it's a console game where text would be too hard
: to read, then the terminals could be voice messages, like in System
: Shock.

I generally prefer text. It lets you skim or ponder terminals at your own pace, amidst tense, atmospheric silence... it can get away with formatting tricks and lengthy digressions ("T-Minus 15.193792102158E+9 years until the universe closes!") that spoken dialogue can't... it takes up a lot less room on your hard disk... and it avoids the pitfall of crappy voice acting.
