Nolan North drops a fucking BOMB on the voice acting community.

Too fucking bad, because the strike is not about devs.

I mean, come on. That's like writing in Bernie when he's not even on the ballot.

Acting like the VO community are a bunch of ignorant, selfish bastards is exactly - EXACTLY - how unions get crushed.

 

[KorrZ]

Nolan killed it. Good speech

 

[JimJamJones]

So Prey is the GI cover, then?

 

[labx]

Got damn errybody crying tonight.

It's been a rough year to mankind. Everyone is sad.

 

[Fhtagn]

You want him to get out of here when he's showing respect to the developers that make the games we love. What the actual fuck

that's the text, but the subtext is anti-unionization for voice actors, when if he really respected devs he'd want the entire industry unionized.

 

[zelas]

Wwow, did Nolan north just throw the striking sag members under the bus?

Easy to do from the top of the mountain

 

[Psychoward]

sorry kinda fell asleep and not really up to the backstory with ND

what did Nolan say/what was he referencing

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

is this a anti-union speech? yup. get the fuck outta here.

No it's not. In an ideal world, the programmers, the artists, the designers should all be able to unionize.

 

[Lexad]

Did he just...low key throw other VAs under the bus?

Not at all. That was a speech that recognized all of them bring our favorite characters to life

 

[sora87]

Geoff didn't really learn from the last two shows i see

 

[Gnome Scat]

Oh awesome, not enough hype for Prey.

 

[AudioEppa]

My hands hurt from clapping so hard.


Congratulations Nolan!

 

[Shin-Ra]

Nolan North, David was amazing in The Last of Us.

 

[illmatic22]

Love you Nolan! His voice made Uncharted for me.

 

[Digital-Hero]

Wow, Nolan nailed it.

 

[grimmiq]

Really wanted him to open or close with "Suck it, Troy".

 

[JigglesBunny]

Good shit, Nolan. Well deserved win too.

 

[j0hnnix]

Nolan

 

[Amauri14]

That was a great speech.

 

[Strimei]

Wwow, did Nolan north just throw the striking sag members under the bus?

No, no I don't think that was it, actually.

If anything, I think its a calculated move by SAG to try and re-characterize their strike.

 

[wild wild rice]

Nolan North drops a fucking BOMB on the voice acting community.

What did he say?

 

[What did he mean by this?]

Wtf thats not Matt Stone

 

[SweetTeddie]

Nolan North paid anti-Union speech by ESA lol.

 

[blame space]

no one has ever said "amorphous"

 

[Diprosalic]

That's what I said! People pay a lot more to win Oscars because the legacy makes people think the awards are worth more than The Game Awards.

They are also literally worth more. Like a huge amount.

 

[Arttemis]

What would Nolan's stance be if programmers unionized?

 

[Kinyou]

The difference in reaction between RTJ and that Doom performance is funny.

EDIT: Nolan North wins shocker.

Man, are people really so bitter about the rap thing?

 

[MikeDown]

Firewatch got robbed again L/

 

[deoee]

That voice recording sounds like it's 1998 codecs

 

[AdanVC]

This has been such an emotional awards show. A lot of gratitude and kindness all over and I LOVE IT! That's how you show your true professionalism. Big props to all this people.

 

[Menitta]

"Hey who put this bowl of onions here?"

Spoiler

It was a good speech, but man there have been quite a few teary moments

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Damn, that was a heavy speech. Didn't expect him to say all that.

He'll probably catch shit from the union though, but he doesn't deserve that. Great speech.

is this a anti-union speech? yup. get the fuck outta here.

No, it was a show of gratitude to the developers, programers, artists and all of them. If anything, that was support for all of them to unionize. He was right to say it.

 

[BocoDragon]

Wow, that got political.

 

[-shadow-]

Good guy Nolan. Give that man an award!

Spoiler

Another one because why not!?

 

[Innolis]

Nolan bringing it, what an awesome guy.

 

[Justin Bailey]

Y'all complaining about the music and stuff.

Like, this is what the emmy's and the globes and the oscars have been doing for yeaaaaaaaars.

Yeah, some gamers are insecure about this stuff. Embrace it guys.

 

[outunderthestars]

Did I miss the Zelda trailer?

 

[Rarius]

Wow that weird video at the beginning looked AWFUL

 

[SuperÑ]

Adr1ft meets Bioshock

 

[kayos90]

Bioshock in space?

 

[sixteen-bit]

I wish Prey 2 happened

 

[JimJamJones]

Did I miss the Zelda trailer?

[Hexa]

Major respect to Nolan.

 

[Sephzilla]

God damnit now I want to play Doom

 

[SliceSabre]

That's obviously not an anti-strike speech. He's saying the game itself is bigger than just his performance. Chill out

i.e. The performance of devs is more important than the performance of VAs.

i.e. Suck it up VAs and stop striking.

 

[LapinAgile]

I think it's more he threw people trying to unionize under the bus, which makes him a scab.

Giving an opposing perspective on the argument does't "throw anyone under the bus"

 

[Sanjuro]

Store brand Darth Vader.

 

[Tacorona72]

Bio-space?

 

[Quintin DM]

Did I miss the Zelda trailer?

Yep, it was in the pre show, up on youtube now I believe.

 

[Frozenprince]

This looks infinitely less interesting than the original Prey 2.
