Actually, I dropped everything I had in my hand and crashed into the floor when I saw it. The name I'm speaking of is John DiMaggio. For those of you who do not know who that is, he is the voice talent behind Kimahri and Wakka from Final Fantasy X. It's been bugging me for quite some time now so I have to know; Is the same person? (Oh, and please spare me the snide remarks about how late I am to notice it. I'm well aware of that)
I believe this is the same person.

Ebay . Sister Wendy…
Here's a fun little spec commercial I directed recently. This one was born on the back of Ebay.Museum (see 07.18.06 posting). Originally I was planning on peppering the Ebay.Museum spot with all sorts of quotes about art. This was meant to offset the ridiculousness of the bad art hanging in the museum. After cutting the spot I realized the museum commercial was stronger without the V.O. and abandoned the idea of voice overs.
However, when I was researching for quotes I came across this great little clip of the BBC's Sister Wendy. Press "play" below to see my commercial…
She is in fact talking about Hans Holbein's painting of King Henry the VII, but when I came across this segment I couldn't resist. I thought this commercial was pretty funny, as did everyone else who saw it (a friend of mine pretty much choked to death on his beer while watching it)
So far I've taken a bit of flack from some industry insiders telling me that it's not really a "director's" piece. However I think it can show what you can do with a little creativity and a limited budget. 
Gothic 3
What a let down this game is. After all the hype and press about how this game was going to be better than Oblivion, it falls not short, but flat on its face. The game is extremely clunky, with a very slow quick load and normal load. It's so slow in fact that I believe quick load and normal load are doing the exact same thing. The controls aren't very good, the fighting is rather bad, the voice overs are awful, what part of this game was supposedly better than Oblivion?
