Die Monster! You don't belong in this world!
What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets! But enough talk have at you!
*Awesome gameplay makes you forgive it immediately*

Seriously. That's a criminal omission.

Or the best piece of voice acting ever uttered:
"No! It cannot be!?
<big>AAAHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!</big>"
It would be best if you said that last part as loud as you could.

I'm glad they mentioned Clock Tower. That game had the shittiest voices. Usually you'd read the text before the voices came in, too.
And now, for some Clock Tower spoilers... because, believe me, if you haven't played the game yet, you never will:
Clock Tower is a point and click adventure (survival horror sub-genre) in which you awkwardly guide multiple characters through a murder mystery/slasher game set in Norway, ever on your toes in fear of a killer named Scissorman (a cloaked figure with a giant set of shears).
In the manual for the game, the first thing I read was the character profiles. One of then was a TEN YEAR OLD BOY. The prologue for the game states that TEN YEARS ago some woman game birth to DEMON CHILDREN, one of which was locked away, the other disappeared or something. TEN YEARS later, a killer named Scissorman is on the loose. You go throughout the game in fear of this maniac (mostly due to poor controls, but the music sets a bit of a creepy atmosphere) while the game characters, only one of whom is TEN YEARS OLD, wonder who this killer could possibly be.
Surprise, LOL, it's Edward, the TEN YEAR OLD DEMON CHILD. He's the son of some dude who basically did the same thing ten years ago in first Clock Tower game for the Super Famicom. The one that came out here for the PS1 was apparently Clock Tower 2.
So even as a fourteen or fifteen year old, this was retardedly obvious to me.

Obviously SOMEBODY thought that was cool enough to put into World of Warcraft

It's tragic, because Archimonde had the coolest sounding voice in Warcraft 3.

SF Neo is a good choice, so is Star Ocean 2, though at least SO2 you can tell what they're trying to say. To this date I still don't know what Meryl is saying when she casts half of her spells. Xenosaga 1 has the same problem.

/thread indeed. This video fails me to my bones. I really can't believe Nintendo allowed something so shitty to be produced. I guess both Nintendo and George Lucas learned early on to keep a tight grip on creative control.

Yeah, that reeks of the Star Wars Holiday Special
But like that first comment said "this is made of awesome". I have to get me a copy of that :-)
