I suggest you get hold of the old Battletechnology magazines.. Each issue has several pages dedicated to news reports! They are specific to the year they are printed for, already typed out and accurate to the universe canon.

Might want to get this cleared up with Catalyst or whoever owns the Battletechnology magazines from an IP standpoint.
Reading your own stories is one thing, but reading copywrited materials verbatim for free is another.

Holy crap, she did the Jade Falcon narrations for MW2? Now I'm jealous

[Jhereg KnT]

mind you those are just demos! She did not do the originals on the game

Ah. That still sounds exceptionally good. I couldn't tell the demo from the original on first listen. I'm sure her vocals will be well received in the projects we're planning

[Cattra Kell]

I could write up some fake Solaris VII battle reports if needed for some filler.

Wait, your wife does stuff for BBC? If I'm not mistaken, I've heard her voice on BBC America, when I go to watch the news.

I don't know why, but there is always an air of legitimacy granted to a project when a British voice is behind it. Call me strange, and I can't explain why, but it's always better with a British voice for me.

Same with sports broadcasts for me. It's like with a British voice you know it's big-league.

I want to be flip and simply answer, "Because you do it so well" but, to be honest, I don't know. Come to think of it, I think we play just as many ID10Ts as anyone on this side of the pond. And, honestly, I prefer watching films where no one is really portrayed as an ID10T, because I want to believe the individuals involved in those sorts of stories are either hapless victims of circumstance, or are in the situation in the first place because they're some manner of genius. Also, I can't think of anyone British that I am embarrassed by, as I am with Will Ferrell or Kevin James, or other American/Canadian actors like them; they are flatly an embarrassment to men, and their antics drive me away from their movies. And, before anyone goes to jump to their favorite actor's defense, no I am not embarrassed because I act like them, I am so uncomfortable because I can't see any man acting that FOOL-ishly, and they actually make the word Man almost a curse. Let's add Sascha Baren Cohen to that list.

Hey guys, that is way off topic and should go in another thread.

[Cattra Kell]

Indeed, also S3dition, will you be online tonight around cast time? Just wondering because I'm working on a few scripts for Solaris VII games (that are non-canon) for you. Not sure if you wan't to discuss them or just wan't me to send you the script over PM?

[S3dition]

I'll be on today. I can pop in early if you need, just let me know when.

I've got a couple projects in the oven, so more info should be rolling out soonish

[Cattra Kell]

Alright, thanks!
It will most likely be around 5PM Atlantic time when I get home so maybe a bit after that? I have to just finish a few rough drafts of work before I get to have my fun.

[Hanyit Greyhame]

Tried my hand at it, hope its not too terrible...

[S3dition]

Got your email. I'll give it a listen in a second
