The nice thing about the fact that the robot's voices was done with dec-talk is if someone wanted to do a game, they could use synthesized speech, and no one could complain. It's authentic as possible.... One thing I have noticed is whenever there are robots in games, most of the time they are the enemy. I understand that a lot of the time they are evil--I love it--but I would love to play as one. For example, well not technically being a robot, it would be so much fun to play a game from the point-of-view of a dalek. Or, a cyborman, or (jumping universes) a terminator. Just a thought.

The old dec-talk is really good. It just happens to be a voice in the movie Short Circuit...off topic. It's really funny. Dec-talk used to be the best. It still does a lot that other similar synthesizers don't, but comparatively, the only really cool thing about dec-talk now is that you can play around with it. Granted, that's totally my opinion and can't be backed up by fact. I'm not saying I'd mind seeing dec-talk in a game or two. In fact, I'd even be willing to help make that happen. It's just that there are better voices out there.

Hi. What about DecTalk? I've gotten rather fond of that synth, and I like it when you set the pitch to a very low setting. Wowowowow that sounds good... Eloquence is good though.
