I wish we had the soapbox smily here...
Anyway, time for a rant! Why is it that putting emotion in one's voice seems to be the ONLY thing people respect about acting these days? Do people have to emote EVERY LAST WORD they say? How does that make something MORE realistic? I find it more realistic when people only put emotion in a few important things they say, and sometimes unimportant stuff for jokes. That's reality. Look at Home Movies, that's hilarious because people talk with almost no emotion and it ends up sounding just like real life, sad but true as it is.
I went on this rant because there are morons complaining about the android in this game's voice acting. They say it's about as stale as it gets. IT IS AN ANDROID YOU IDIOT! NO EMOTIONS!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
