PARIS HILTON TO VOICE PORTAL 2

Quote:
April 1st, 2008 - Valve, creators of Half-Life 2 and The Orange Box, today announce the newly confirmed voice actor for the role of the new AI in Portal 2, Paris Hilton.

"We've been casting the new role since before The Orange Box was released" said Doug Lombardi, vice president of marketing at Valve. "We're just really pleased that we've managed to find such a high-profile and talented actress to bring our latest character to life"

Kim Swift, lead developer on Portal added: "We know that gamers may find this an unusual choice but we're really pleased with the results so far. Paris has done a couple of sessions in the studio and it has surpassed our expectations, we know that Portal fans will love it."

A representative for Paris added "Paris is really pleased to be involved in such a different acting role, and she absolutely loves video games. Fans will love it."

Wow, now this is sad Valve.

Or this is an April Fool's joke, or Kim Swift is not half as intelligent as I expected her to be. How can she say this? Sniff... She betrayed me...

Reason this is such a poor one:
Firstly, we all know that they have only confirmed they want to do another portal game. They haven't even decided where to set it so how could they posibly have decided on a voice actor.
Secondly, picking somone less mindnubmingly retarded might have been a more convincing option

Case in point: Hober playing 25 hours of Barbie Dressing Room?

VVEERRYY likely.

and even if it was her. if she did a good job. i couldn't care. who gives a crap. but i'd rather them find a nobody who does a good job. than use someone "famous." who cares? its just a voice. and i don't see them doing it for that reason. they would rather use a good sounding nobody, and focus on gameplay. and btw. i've been asked to do the voice of gordan freeman in HL3. i am a good nobody.

Indeed, this is sad. You would have thought Valve could have come up with a funnier and more believable joke for April Fool's day.

Yes that is exactly what I was thinking! (Not the part about you doing the voice of Gordon but the part about who cares unless it sucks worse than anything. Geez some people can't take anything.
