That's not the force.

There is nothing like outdoing other people while handicapped

[Liten]

Why would you be handicapped in the first place? That's just silly.

Yes. Yes I did. I have 4 more to take, one being a 6 hours long where I have to prepare an adjustment, in full, under exam conditions. Becoming a fully qualified Adjuster is the [alleged] equivalent of studying for BSc

It usually takes 3 years of dedicated study (heavily dependent on a persons definition of dedicated). I have to manage it with; a job, a family and alcohol abuse issues.... Most students only one of those problems

Doc, this could be brilliant news for XCOM modders....

It is a bit weird how a game that goes out of its way to note the nationality of each soldier and has multiple voice packs for them would only have you choose from a bunch of similar-sounding American accents. I'm not asking the game to cater for every accent in the world, but they could at least cover the big bases. Something vaguely Franco-Spanish would cover a lot of Europe and the colonies. You could have a slightly slurry and unspecific thing that could be either South African or Australian. And a nice Received Pronunciation accent could theoretically come from anyone socially pretentious.

I'm serious about this. If anyone knows anything about modding, let me know how one goes about replacing sound files in the game and I'll record a voice pack. I'll record three or four covering several regions of the UK if you want. Because I like doing that sort of thing. I did my own audiobook, didn't I? And I've done a handful of VO gigs just for the fun of it. I was "The Professor" for an educational game a year or two back (uncredited), so honestly, it'd be my pleasure. And this goes for Worms Armageddon, too. Mainly I'd like to voice an X-Com soldier from Yorkshire. Dashing to cover with a hearty "Back in a bit, put t'kettle on".

I have to agree that Xcom was missing the accents. Lets hope that plan works out.

Honestly i think it would be better for anything but a British accent since i get yelled at by poms all day long thinking they have a position of authority....
