For some reason I always thought the voice on Extra Credits was his real voice! Guess not. Congrats to all the winners!

Gah! I started typing something similar then realized ninja. I wasn't ever sure, but I guess I just didn't know who or how to ask.

 

[2xDouble]

Awesome, guys. Really awesome. There's no other word for it... except... "Ding!" heh.

Fan rant: Too bad I couldn't nominate Guild Wars 2 and The Old Republic. They're shaping up to have some really cool innovations in the MMO genre, but they are too big (in file size), too AAA, and too "not finished yet". *sigh*, maybe next year...

 

[Zac Smith]

I just watched the new extra credits and I thought to myself, thats probably not his real voice...now I know

Same here.
I'm disappointed Daniel, your awesome voice is a lie!

Although, James looks exactly like I thought he would from his cartoon version xD

 

[IndianaJonny]

Wow, I feel sorry for you guys. Looks like no one showed up. Need more publicity for next year.

Yeah, looks like it was a quiet event. Is there any intention to put more footage from Login 2011 on The Escapist?

 

[The Odd Apple]

To finally meet you three in person... Ish. Was really nice. Good to get a proper look at you people! Keep up the great work!

Great awards for great games regardless.

You got to start somewhere. I am sure they will get more buzz next year.

Looked like a nice event.
And yes, when i heard Daniel's voice, i did think "hey, you're not that guy!". Silly old me.
But made me think, why use a different voice? It does sound good, no complaints whatsoever, but just interested...

It seems that the voice is sped up a little, so my guess is that it is probably to allow it to fit in a time limit of roughly five minutes.

I always figured it wasn't but I was never sure.

 

[snfonseka]

Nice 2 see the real faces behind the show and congrats for the winners!

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Daniel, your voice is a lie!!!

But that's okay, looks like a really fun and informative awards conference. I really wish I could have been there. Maybe next year

 

[Incredible Bullshitting Man]

It's on now. I hope the awards helped the developers nominated get some well-deserved recognition. This needs to be done again next year.

Also, I'm convinced the real Daniel was away and that was a substitute we saw

 

[TastyCarcass]

I would disagree that being Hamlet, a manic depressive suffering an edopus complex, kicks ass.

 

[Isan]

no one appears to have noticed this ep went up

 

[Orange Monkey]

<---- My face througout the video!

Daniel talked about this on the Digital Cowboys podcast. His first 2 videos (on youtube) were school projects and they had to be as close to 10:00 as possible. By the time he finished his first one, it was over time, and he was tired, so he just sped it up, and then people got used to that.
