You ever play a game when you hear a character talk, but he sounds familiar until it finally clicks on you and you go "hey, it's that guy?"

Yeah, we probably all have at some point or another, but then you kinda start comparing that person's previous roles, probably unconsciously.

For me, it happened when playing Saint's Row the Third, where after playing the game for some time with my character that it finally dawned on me. Apparently, Yuri Lowell went to a life of crime, and he's loving it. Or you can say that Snow dropped his heroic pretenses and just decided to make money.

Either way, it was a fun little bit of triva.

I've been there, hombre.

I was playing Skyrim and selling stuff to a merchant when I realized he was voiced by Pete from A Goofy Movie. It was very strange.

Fuck Shit Stack.

If you hear a voice in a video game that isn't a main character it is most likely: Nolan North, Tara Strong or John Dimaggio.

Last year, I was hearing Spike from Cowboy Bebop (okay, so it's not from a game, technically) all over TV ads, funny to hear Spike selling me the most mundane stuff.
My husband also recognized him in the dwarf that sells "Dwarven Crafts, fine, dwarven crafts"! in Dragon Age, he was at the computer and actually turned around to see why was Spike selling dwarven crafts.

And playing Persona 3 right after Valkyrie Profile Silmeria causes me to shiver because when I hear Akihiko talk, creepy weirdo Lezard comes to mind every time.

The guy who plays Quark from Deep Space Nine voiced the leader of the Feros Colony in Mass Effect. When he said "Commander" I got flashbacks to DS9. He also voiced Andrew Ryan in Bioshock, but I didn't figure that one myself.

Unlike other people here, I really can't identify one voice actor from another. However, I was playing Skyrim and I did a double-take when I heard Balthier complain about being a Whiterun guard.

Crono can cross dimensions too!

Freaking Johhny Young Bosch is in just about every RPG out there it seems. He pretty much uses the same voice every time too with the exception being the MC in Fragile.

Currently Playing: Dark Cloud 2: 3 hours.
Also Playing: CT, FF VI, Solatorobo, Secret of Mana, Halo 4.
Just Finished: Fable II: 7 hours.

Just finished up Assassin's Creed: Revelations, and as this is technically not a spoiler.

So Q, being bored, decided to become an Assassin on Earth. Weep, humanity, weep.

Ah!, there's Rikku, in that Twilight Sparkle video posted in the Pony thread. To tell the truth, though, it didn't seem like that different of a character.
