It's always weird for me to see the faces behind the voices because a lot of times they don't match to how you envision that person. I remember when I was 13 and found out Bart was voiced by a woman. My brain broke lol.

That's from 7 years ago and might even been longer since it was originally a vine. Wonder if he's still with us.

He's no Ron Barr.

I just searched Ron Barr and TIL he's a real person! Wow, all these years I thought he was a fictional EA Sports personality.

I miss that era of EA Sports. I think the yearly release of sports games is absolutely strangling and killing the genre.

Pretty iconic.
Will there be in real life of EA Games Challenge Everything? Hopefully.

I dunno about others, but FIFA has been yearly ever since it came into existence.

When I say yearly, I mean that it was a lot easier to handle being yearly in the past (when games actually were developed, sports games or not, in short periods) but ever since the shift to HD gaming I think game development just requires a lot more. NBA Live fell apart with the shift to HD, Madden did too. NHL and FIFA at least have been more consistent but I see a lot more unhappy people with those franchises.

It's always cool putting faces to the voices, but sometimes you're like WTF? Case and point, Ed Boon was Scorpion's voice early on...




Is Boon married? Does he have any kids? Do you think he's ever used that voice when the kid was in trouble? I'd probably shit my pants (if I were too young to know about MK1).

I wonder what you watch on YouTube because this just popped up in my feed too. The algorithms for YouTube sure are interesting sometimes.

Huh, I thought I read that David Hayter did the voice. Apparently that's a common misconception

Wait did he really make no money from that? (Saw that said in another related video).

I remember reading an interview with him where he said he did the first ad for free. Apparently they had almost no money to make it. He did tons of other work for them over the years, though. I'd imagine he got paid quite well for that.

He's a Canadian voice actor who's done a lot of commercials.

That's cool! Reminds me that I always love seeing Mike Judge do all of his Beavis & Butt-Head / King of the Hill voices. :)
