Ron Perlman says he did the Fallout intro for $40 and a sandwich, he's never played it, and he's not interested in trying: 'The whole Fallout thing is a mystery to me' (www.pcgamer.com)

Hey I was gonna make that list but you already did.

Yeah, Pearlman did more than just the one line, he's been a recurring staple of the series, as its narrator, has said a whole lot more than just 'War never changes.'

I guess this is an almost totally random tangent, but:

Leonard Nimoy voiced... I think every spoken line in Civilization 4.

So yeah, when you're playing Civ 4, Spock is narrating it to you, all the tooltips, tech discovery blurbs, etc.

    When I played Civ 4 , I haven't watched any TOS. He fucking KILLED it with those lines. Even the funny ones.

    I did know him as spock, but had't seen any eps of TOS. I only saw one, the tribbles one, and a few tos films (Khan, Whales, Generations) this past year

    Definitely give all of TOS a watch if you are able.

    Theres really no other way to explain it than as a seminal and groundbreaking series, that laid the foundation for... so many things that came after it, were inspired by it.

    ... like cellphones, for example.

    Its ... not high octane. Its pretty rough around some modern cultural edges, most notably sex/gender roles. Its... of hilariously low production value compared to so much of more modern media. A lot of it is goofy as fuck, even within its own world.

    ... but its still incredible. It still did things that nobody else had ever done before, and ... some of those things still hold up as radical, even today.

    The uh, hah, a lot of the TOS films are ... kinda still to this day have lets say 'mixed' reception at best.

    Its a show about a crew, who goes on missions, on basically a 5 year tour of duty. It really only works properly with the kind of regular, consistent exposure you get from a TV series, to slowly really show you the characters, as if you're stuck aboard with 'em, getting annoyed or amused by their various quirks and characteristics.

    ... at its best, its a show about a possible way of life, a way of being, of cooperating with strange people and peoples toward mutually beneficial outcomes.

    I gotta stop myself from rambling.

    Is it the best show you're ever gonna have watched? ... Eh, maybe, probably not.

    But... I feel like you actually can't understand US cultural history properly if you haven't seen it.

    ... we used to actually have a vision of a better future. Hope.

    In... times such as we now live... that should never be forgotten.

    (The tribbles episode is pretty cute and fun though, eh?)
