Well, howdy again. I know I don't update as much but I seem to keep on coming back here and talking about games and shooting at the hip about the industry of games. That's all well and dandy but since I've grown in the field of voice acting by a lot, I am going to merge them together. In fact, I will also be putting up stuff that I have done with my card games as well. Think of it as a developmental blog/ranting page. I really hate to see posts from the beginning of the year and the newest one in June of 2008.
The name of the blog will be changed to reflect these aspects. I don't have a name as of yet but be sure it will be something simple. As an added bonus I'll put up the link on my VAA profile page along with many other links that will keep me in check as a VA and designer.
Until then farewell

Spontaneous Memories: A Mass Effect 2 DLC Review
Hey all, I know this seems like a spontaneous review and blog post for that matter but I'm in the mood to review the latest DLC for Mass Effect 2, Kasumi: Stolen Memory.
-----And yes this is spoilers into the 540 MS points DLC, you have been forewarned----
Upon loading up the DLC, you must go to the Citadel to obtain Kasumi. Once you talk to her you will obtain her on the Normandy. This character will unlock the other observation deck opposite to Samara. You can go into her cabin to scope out a few things, including a bar! Basically, her loyalty mission will be in the same space as the Citadel so you don't have to space jump to a different system.
Well basically, you go with Kasumi and that's it. And, on top of that, you are infiltrating a big business tycoon's estate. No weapons except your pistol. Now, you give this guy a golden statue of Saren as a token of...well just as a token of gratitude. Plus your name is Gunn lol much like a Jame Bond name. Your primary objective is to unlock the vault door to Donovan's personal collection. After a few enemies and some walking around, you unlock the door and go down to the vault.
Inside is the most amazing area of the game. Inside are a bunch of statues that he has collected including the head of the Statue of Liberty after terrorists had blown the statue up. Also included is a new sub-machine gun with little recoil. So basically you run out of the vault and face Donovan in his gun ship. His shields rapidly regenerate so it's impossible to damage his ship. You will need to mow down several waves of guards to get to the point where Kasumi jumps on top of the ship and destroys the shields thus making you able to shoot down the Donovan. Afterward, your drop ship will appear and fly up back into the Normandy.
Overall, you will receive the following on the DLC:
1. Kasumi
2. Alternate Attire for Kasumi
3. New casual outfit
4. Sub-machine gun
5. Unlock the final part of the Normandy
6. The BAR!
7. Statue of Liberty's head (it's awesome looking lol)
In the end, it's pretty well worth the points to buy plus it is one of the most memorable missions out of all the Mass Effect quests. This is on par with Bring Down the Sky from Mass Effect 1. So save your points and download this DLC from the Cerberus Network.

Voice Acting
After getting fired for bullshit reasons, I decided to check out this forum for any roles for voice acting for a video or even audio play. Since I am an avid fan of theater and the arts, I auditioned for a role here and there and gotten selected for the role. So far I've been casted in a few roles not too much because there isn't that much original productions. All the site has is fandubs which is not me because someone else is already voicing that character. It's like if I was cast as Homer Simpson, I do the voice great....but there is someone else who does the voice. Besides, I like to bring life into this new character, give him direction and meaning in that universe.
I use a stage name yes and I have a quick site to update stuff on:
http://sites.google.com/site/johnwalkervoiceactor/home
So whenever I get a chance I update the site with my roles and hopefully I can get a demo reel up once I have a selection of voices to choose from. I like anime voice acting, I like video game voice acting, it looks like a fun job and you get to meet a lot of screaming fans. So hopefully this will become a career one day. As far as video games go, I am still writing a basic skeleton for my story I hope gets to be made one day. That combined with voice acting, it should provide me with a lot of work in the future. Ugh, if only I could get steady work now. But now that I'm off I can focus on the things that make me happy and enjoy life now. Even for a short while but some times after putting in years of work, you need that month or 2 off to stop and reflect with friend and family.
So I am cast as a pirate in Hook, A Halo 3 Machinima and I love everything about the role except that they modulate my voice to sound a bit slower. Well he is a dumb uneducated pirate lol. Was glad to audition and have no regrets. Check it the 1st episode here and follow through. We have 2 more episodes and a Thanksgiving special that wasn't so good. So far we average around 10,000 views on youtube, hopefully we can get another 10,000.
New Years has past and I want to wish all a very happy new year, just wondering to say two thousand and ten or twenty ten....I like twenty ten more, sounds better, sounds epic.
