Telltale brings home the Chaikin 24 Apr, 2011 / 3 comments

Of the large amount of Bay Area vocal talent Telltale has tapped over the years, perhaps the most distinctive and recurring has been Andrew Chaikin, possibly better known by his beat-boxing stage name Kid Beyond. They guy's been voicing Telltale characters since the Boneville days, and can be heard in pretty much all of their series. (The two exceptions are Strong Bad and Wallace & Gromit, for obvious reasons.) I want to stop short of describing him as the De Niro of Telltale Games, because that would imply De Niro's made a good movie at any point in the last several years.

Perhaps because they recognize how much impact this talented voice actor's collaborations with the studio has had on their titles, Telltale saw fit to interview the man themselves, just outside of their offices. What resulted is pretty cool stuff. Excitingly, it looks like there's a possibility Chaikin could find a role to play in Puzzle Agent 2, which might be my most anticipated of all of the games Telltale's brewing this year. (At latest count, this amount was calculated to be: "a lot to the third power."

    Is it me, or does his Biff sound a lot better here than it does in the game? Maybe it's the Biff-model that throws me off instead of his voice...
