Is there any part of the world where black people actually talk like this?

    Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.

    You're complaining about voice acting in Deus Ex: Human Revolution?

    I mean, yeah, that is bad, but I'm not that surprised.

    Also, thanks, I need to find her and squeeze some info out of her.

    No, just this particular NPC.

    And it's not like the original game didn't have racist voice acting.

    v Get it.

    I still need to get this game.

    For supposedly being incredibly deep, poignant, and utterly philosophical games, both of the Deus Ex games have some shitty voice acting.

    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.

    These things are not related.

    What does the voice acting have to do with the quality of the script?

    Still, the voice acting in the games can get really silly.

    Also, wtf, have you never met any black people before.

    I know quite a few that talk like this. Shit, I use some minute bits of AAVE

    You also live 1,500 miles away from me, which may explain that.

    There are also blondes who are as dumb as all hell, redheads with fierce tempers and black criminals.

    Chagen, I live in the same state as you.

    I have met probably THREE black people that talk like this.

    Wasn't Ion Storm based in Texas?

    Also, Letitia probably stands out because everyone else has more low-key voice acting, especially Jensen. It's like having Keanu Reeves and Brian Blessed in a scene together.'

    Yeah, same state as id Software.

    ^^Do you live in the same town, though?

    ^ No, and I don't really care to find out.

    But really, even if there are black people talk like this, this is still sort of a heavy exaggeration

    Yeah, but not that much, admittedly.

    I do wonder where Eidos got their voice actors...

    The bigger problem I find with it is that it kinda sounds like a guy.

    It sounds nothing like a guy. That's definately a variety of a black woman voice, anyone who's actually heard a black woman speak can attest to that.

    holy jesus its like you guys have never heard black people talk before

    I've heard a black guy talk like that before.

    I can definitively say I have heard black people of multiple nationalities talk. African American, Indian, Australian Aboriginal.

    I suggest you stop saying things like that, Chagen. It makes you come off as an idiotic dickwad.
  • ChagenChagen
    [tɕagɛn]
    It's a deep voice, but some black women do talk like that.

    "This isn't racist. Just white people being offended for other people."

    ^Truth. Not everything is racist, people. Sometimes a....I'm not saying it again.

    'Cause all black women sound the same, right?

    Okay, that came out wrong, but you get my point.

    Gwen Ifill doesn't sound like that.

    Chagen probably thinks they're all related, too.

    To be fair, I've seen black people on Doctor Who who have British Accents in their voices, I've seen Billy Dee Williams play the Acting Director of GDI in C&C3, where he laid on the Han Solo-esque silky tone and I've heard the possibly South African voices of Brink.
