According to IMDB, Paul Fusco was the voice of ALF.
It seems that Adam Bitterman is credited as “Tuskarr / Various (voice)” for WOTLK.
Yes, you can look up Video Game casts on IMDB:
World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King (Video Game 2008)
That’s right, Subby (is that okay, to call you that for short, btw?). Brillstein produced ALF
Sure put me in mind of ALF when I heard the voice.
That’s cool that one can look up the voice talents. Thanks for the link!
Q
I hate hunter helmets. Even the tier pieces are epically gross.
So, I’ve usually gone with “Show Helmet” unchecked in Interface Display options. My orc has a good hairdo (split braids down his back) and an interesting beard (forked), so it works good. He’s a damn handsome orc hunter, if I do say so myself.
But with Transmorgrification, I realized that I might be something even more epic: a one-eyed hunter with an eyepatch!
It turns out that for a hunter or other mail-wearer, that’s tougher that I realized. I’m wearing a mail helmet (because I’m a hunter, and I’d have to be some kind of idiot to fall back to leather, let alone cloth), and transmogging requires that the item being transmogged and the item giving its appearance for transmogging have to be the same type… in other words, I would have to find a “mail” eyepatch.
Do you know how many of those there are in all of World of Warcraft? Two. Malefactor’s Eyepatch, from a Burning Crusade quest I did literally years ago, and a Fiery Beholder Eye, one of four monocles that can drop off of Collidus the Warp-Watcher (one of the BC rare spawns in Shadowmoon Valley).
So, obviously, I had to camp Collidus and kill him every spawn I could in hopes of getting the Fiery Eye.
Took a long time and a lot of twiddling around, but eventually I got it. So now I’m a hunter with one eye. The only problem is the new eyepatch covers my right eye, which means (in theory) I can’t look down the scope of my rifle! :smack:
Thankfully, I’m an orc, and I never bring the rifle all the way up anyway. The Orc rifle-firing animation is closer to snap-shooting than sighting.
Subby is just fine. As is Sub, Burb, Burbs, Burby, or just about anything else you can come up with.
Just don’t call me Tim, please. That’s my brother’s name…I tired many years ago of being called Tim when my parents couldn’t remember which son they were talking to 
cue Holy Grail reference in 5…4…3…
Damn, I just kicked myself for not naming my SWTOR sorcerer Tim.
Look on the bright side…at least nobody can deride you for being cliche…
Looking at the last few hunter tier and PvP helms, it dawned on me that whoever is designing that stuff has clearly never done any archery in their life. If they had, they’d understand the problem with covering one of the hunter’s eyes. When attempting to accurately shoot at a distant target, depth perception is kinda important. They don’t even need to look at medieval open-faced archer’s helmets to understand this. Just take a look at modern football helmets and notice that the quarterback’s faceguard usually doesn’t have bars in front of his eyes. Stuff in front of your eyes makes it hard to aim.
Of course, I’d also love to visit the Blizzard offices with a real bow and arrow and demonstrate the difficulty in trying to shoot a bow held sideways 
Or with a humongous pauldron standing up in your line of sight. Most WoW shoulder armor would completely cut off vision if you’re standing sideways to your target (i.e., a realistic shooting stance for a longarm weapon or bow).
Apparently, I’m not allowed to see my target unless I can fire from a Weaver stance, and since the game doesn’t have pistols, I guess I can’t do that either.
:dubious:Sigh.
The Ruthless Gladiator hunter helm looks like the Borg assimilated my dwarf. Damn thing has a red light where one of his eyes should be.
I’m getting the RG PVP stuff too, Oak, but Wolkie’s a warrior, so maybe his will look different. The equipment I’m getting next (thanks to Rik’s help), are new “shouldah-mah-pads”. These have what looks like flames from a gas heater coming out of them, and I’m always thinking, “Where’s the fargin’ propane vendor???” 
Q
You already have the shouldah-mah-pads, Quasi. You need the chest, legs, and helm.
That new Chinese dragon mount looks awesome. Too bad I rarely ever play anymore, I’d be tempted to get one.
Oh! Sorry! I thought you didn’t like the shoulders, Rik?
Guess I was wrong, but I HATE 'em. Those damn flames just don’t make sense, and they’d burn Wolkie’s arms. Wish I had not have bought them.
Just a minor hijack, though, since Rik referenced it as well as me: (“Shouldah-mah-pads”).
Anybody know where that’s from?:D:D:D:D
That thing STILL cracks me up everytime I see it.
I don’t mean it any other way than that it’s funny.
Thanks
Quasi
Don’t think of them as flames…think of them as mystical energy.
My buddy Oak! An answer for everything, and I’m glad for it!
"Wolkie’s mystical “shouldah-mah-pads” will allow no enemy to come near Silka and me!
Q
A few days ago, my warlock in Quasi’s guild fished up Old IronJaw. First time I’ve ever done that, and it happened on a level 20-something toon with under 50 fishing skill. Random numbers are random, I guess.
Also kinda-sorta accidentally healed a LFR run the other night. I queued for it without checking my spec or role selection, and the last thing I’d done was the holiday boss as a resto druid. I got through it, but had severe mana problems, as I was wearing Boomkin pvp gear, with very low spirit. Still, nobody bitched about it, and we finished the run. Hmmm…healing isn’t so bad. I’ve started working on a resto pve gear set, building spirit/mana regen. Healers get much quicker queues than DPS, so…we’ll see how it goes.
Anybody got some numbers for how much mana regen I need to be an effective raid healer?
Never fished up IJ, so gratz, Oak.
I wanted to tell y’all something that happened a few days ago: My taxi gryph from Dal to Amberpine Lodge didn’t make it all the way. It landed underneath the platform!
Has that ever happened to anyone?
Thanks
Q
It’s never happened to me, but the game is full of cool glitches. Did you know that the Exodar is under Shattrath City? By that, I mean, it was programmed that way for some reason (more efficient to load?). Once some players managed to aggro guards from Shattrath to the Exodar using some sort of glitch!
I just came out of the TB BG, and here’s what I caught in orange writing:
“If you’re PvP with less than 2k res., I swear to God!”
They meant me, right?
Thanks
Q
Eh, maybe. But lots of players do Tol Barad with low resilience (I’ve certainly done it). It just means you die a lot and your side is maybe fractionally more likely to lose. I wouldn’t sweat it.
