DMA Assignment #8 - Even More Audio! Two thumbs up LET'S DO THIS!

     Just as the title says.  Let's jump right in:





     Basically, I had downloaded a bunch of sound clips from the game Portal 2 (which is amazing) from a  character named Wheatley.  Wheatley is an artificial intelligence core that was specifically designed to be a moron in order to dumb down the maniacal, monolithic, central AI unit called GLaDOS that was killing off the scientists that built her.  As such, Wheatley is hysterical.  He is voiced by Stephen Merchant (one of the creators of the original "The Office").


     Listening to the sound clips, I was rolling on the floor laughing at the character's attempts to passive-aggressively threaten the player character.  And then I imagined him constantly pestering someone over the phone, thinking they have left the party they were both at.  I really like the way this turned out, especially how it actually sounds like a call made from a party somewhere.  I like to imagine the point in the middle is the point where I just walked out of the bathroom at the party, and Wheatley realizes that I've been there the whole time and tries to play it off as a joke.  And the ending.  I think the ending is pretty funny :P


     Anyway, I hope you all enjoy listening to my answering machine as much as I enjoyed making it.


     Over and out!
