Well, That's Distracting

[badgersprite]

I'm currently giving FFXIII a second chance, since I think I might have been unfair on it. I've basically only just started, but there's one thing I'm noticing, that I never picked up the last time I played, that I now find impossible to ignore.

Lightning is voiced by Ali Hillis, the same person who voices Liara in Mass Effect. I didn't know this until after I looked up cast credits on ME2 a while back, so I had no idea they were the same person until then. But, now that I'm aware of it, I cannot stop hearing it! It's just like, wow, they sound exactly the same. Did Lightning always sound like that? I could have sworn her voice was different last time....

So, my question to you is this - have you ever learned something or heard something or noticed something about a book, movie, TV show, video game or whatever else that you now for the life of you cannot ignore?

An example of what I mean: the special effects in Alien. I never noticed this until like the third or fourth time I watched it, but the special effects when Ash's head is severed are really bad. If you watch his head, the cuts between fake dummy head and Ian Holm, the actor, are hilariously obvious, and I always notice it now.

1. Don't give FF13 a second chance. It deserves it like you deserve crabs (I am assuming, of course, that you DON'T deserve crabs. If you do, then by all means continue).

2. I never noticed Jack Black was in Mars Attacks! until yesterday. I've been watching a lot of old movies lately and noticing now famous actors who were just throw away actors back than 9Also, you know the black business man from RoboCop? He was totally in Dirty Harry).

Im assuming that my love of slayers is partly to do with the fact that half the cast is also in Pokemon.

Jigsaw played a totally random cop extra in The Goodfellas. Every time I see it I yell, "YOU'RE GOING TO KILL PEOPLE! YOU ARE GOING TO KILL THEM BRUTALLY!"

Did anyone else think "boobs" when they saw the thread's title?

After I learned that Peter Jackson's Fellowship of the Ring has a scene with a car in the background, I can't help but see it now every single time.

When looking back, I found out that a lot of my favorite cartoon characters were voiced by their opposite gender...

Ex. Bart Simpson, Timmy Turner, Ash Ketchum (I'm pretty sure he was voiced by a girl... can someone look that up?)

my 360 is half-bricked, meaning it plays normally for a while then something completely random will happen. last night I was playing Fable 3 and the Auroran leader just started floating upwards when I was talking to her. after I finished laughing, I joined a random game (that was on the same mission, weirdly enough) and she was half undergound due to a clipping error. that stuff happens a lot, but I don't try to fix it because it's hilarious.

He is.

I think its fair to say that most characters that are children will be voiced by a girl, simply because when we were that age we had higher pitched voices.

Jack Black was in Mars Attacks!

What? Where?

You've inspired me to watch that movie again, now.

That is true, but I never really thought about it until I accidentally found out Bart was... than I just started finding more...

I honestly didn't know!

Well when I was play resonance of fate the same guy who does the voice of Max in dark cloud 2 does the voice of ... That younger boy who isn't Nolan north... Anyway it's funny to compare the two characters seeing as though there opposites in many ways but have the same tone of voice... And voice in all around.

I watch the show Adventure Time, and now that I know that the dog Jake has the same voice actor as Marcus Fenix from Gears of War, I can't get over how much they sound the same.

It's at some part when they're working in a field. Just keep your eye on the top right quadrant of the screen near the corner. It's far off in the distance, but it's still possible to see.

Actually, exactly the thing you mentioned OP. It's worse because I HATE her voice and pretty much all of the characters she plays because of it. Once I found out she was doing Lightning, I couldn't unhear it, and I've come to hate everything but her character design now.

I had a very distracting even happen to me recently.

My next door neighbor knocked on my door at 10.30pm Monday night dressed in a Hooter's outfit. Tall, skinny, hairy, pale, white guy in a short cut tank top and orange shorts that barely covered anything. It was highly distracting while I was watching Top Chef.

My face: -_-"
