Upon closer scrutiny, indeed they are. But tell me, fair sirrah, who in our dire time would endeavour to such scrutiny?

Awww now I feel like I did it wrong (being only audio only)

I'll re-do as a response to the first.

Also, don't worry, you can all hear the beauty of the greatest of the West Midlands accents soon enough, I'll be sure to post later today :)
A small reminder that you haven't yet posted your vid......

You don't miss a trick, do you girl? Revision, an exam, and later on Britain's Got Talent all got in the way. I'll do it before bed though, definitely.

Quoted to attract your attention, may I suggest that you edit your first post to include the responses already made? Saves the time for most readers to skim through all the responses in search of a video.

Why, for these dire times we face, one should only praise the initiative thou has teased us with. To unite us unto a single banner may very well be the light that brightens our dawn! To pass onto such scrutiny may very well be the torrential fall that quickens our dusk! I beg of thee, fair wanderer, quench our thirst for unity, step forth!

My neck hurts like hell now, but I had a good laugh nonetheless! Amazing how amusing it can be to watch somebody talk upside down. :)
Edit 2: A piece of advice, perhaps you can put some sort off foam over your microphone. Perhaps even a bit of toilet paper (no idea if that might work, but it's worth a try), it might negate the blowing sound you hear when you talk.

No methods of doing so, sorry.

Also, I rather like my anonymity. It forces people to pay attention to my words, instead of associating them with an image of a person that they can stereotype and possibly be prejudiced against. 'Sides, I'm not looking to make a name for myself. Not here, anyhow.

I'd wake someone up if I went and got my webcam, and recorded myself talking randomly.
But I will get a response done tomorrow :)
Expect to see me wearing an XBL headset mic, my webcam's mic sucks.
Damnit. Sorry everyone, no video of me anytime soon =/

First I was gonna do it with my video capture device and a video camera I 'borrowed' from a mate about a year ago, but then the drivers fucked up and I got the first BSoD ever on this computer, which I've had for a couple of years (Thanks Janat :p). Then I got my webcam, and went downstairs to grab my 360 controller and headset because my cam has a crappy mic. The video didn't record properly and I wasted several minutes of my life.

I'm now too bored of this to try again :)

Added storms 2nd video to the playlist.
Also, why am I suddenly contemplating redoing mine in the more arrogant version?

Damn-it; I just recorded a voice-file on my phone, then realised that I have no way of transferring it on to the computer (I must have left the cable at home). In lieu of that:

1) What's your name? Luke
2) How old are you? 20
3) Where are you from? Are you living there right now? North Wales. No.
4) What's the time? 23:12
5) What was the last thing you listened to? Pour Some Sugar On Me Def Leppard
6) What was the last video game you played? Thief: The Dark Project
7) What's your favorite video game? Why? Tetris. Because it is a perfect game
8) Quick! Find a book, or something with text on it! Flip to a random page and read some of it! GO! I had a delightful recitation from Introduction to Magnetic Resonance.
9) What was the last movie you saw? How was it? A Hammer Horror Dracula movie (I can't remember which one). It was pretty good.
10) Do YOU think you have an accent? Talk about that. Nope, and the fact people can never tell where I'm from (more than 'somewhere in Britain') leads me to believe I don't have one.

I just used my psp.
Go!Cam ftw. I'll get to making a vid as well this weekend. Gotta study more first, and I'll upload it through my laptop (which is lying at home, as I can't study when it's lying in my dorm room as well).

THE big question is however... should I do it in English, or should I do it in my West-Flemish dialect (so you guys will basically not understand anything, but you'll hear my true, Dutch/Flemish accent)?

Keep the thread alive 'till at least friday or saturday!

Do a bit in English and do a bit in your West-Flemish dialect! That'd be awesome!

If the thread's dead by whenever you wanna post, just revive it anyway XD

Aww... I wish I had a webcam or a microphone otherwise I'd have tried this. Well I'm from England so it's not anything special. And I live in Stafford in Staffordshire, the only county without a regional accent. So yeah. Some people say I sound northern but meh. I'm 30 miles from any Brummie accent so that's a plus.
The only county without a regional accent? Stafford maybe, but venture into Stoke and you'll hear the voices of angels! (if they got their heads kicked in on a daily basis). I'm from Stoke, so I have a Stokie accent which is like an uglier version of Mancunian, but mine is only slight. It gets worse when i'm angry or drunk however...
Oh yes I forgot about Stoke. I stand corrected.
I'm from Surrey and I can't recognize any kind of accent though. o_0

You've twisted my arm, I just recorded it now. Bit of a battery problem on my digital camera but it's sorted now, waiting for it to load, and it'll be up within the next five to ten minutes :)
