Telltale Games

You knew it would show up eventually.

Kroms · 06/22/2010, 11:57 am

Yeah, guy has best line in the whole game. Congrats to Majus for doing a good job on the voice.

der_ketzer · 06/22/2010, 12:33 pm

He taught me new german words that I will frequently use in conversations from now on.

Guinea · 06/22/2010, 01:17 pm

Majus (and the guy who wrote his lines) did a good job having the foreign guy sound foreign even to German speakers...

*Lena_P* · 06/22/2010, 03:07 pm

Technically he's a European tourist who happens to be from a place called Aschaffenburg. Also, socks with sandals

GinnyN · 06/22/2010, 03:13 pm

For the first time I was with Sam when he said "I'm American". I was playing without subtitles until I meet him!

Gibbeynator · 06/22/2010, 05:29 pm

That really was Majus? I THOUGHT it sounded like him.

lombre · 06/22/2010, 05:43 pm

The tourist was hilarious. Him and Sal were major highlights of the episode for me. I was kind of sad when he got tossed to, and most likely killed by, Skun-ka'pe.

Flyingman356 · 06/22/2010, 06:12 pm

I had no trouble understanding him at all

You americans are so attached to your own accent sounding, I sometimes can't be understood by them and I have a very plain voice and a very slight Australian accent (None of the "G'day mate!" stuff)

*Majus* · 06/22/2010, 06:22 pm

Wow thanks people, I appreciate it!
Next time you are at the dinnertable, confuse your family&friends with a conversation involving "Weltraumliebewachzauberkrieg". It's fun!

Falanca · 06/22/2010, 06:23 pm

I so wanted to play the game from the very start just to note that word to somewhere for future use.

But, THANKS for such a good opportunity of copy pasting, Majus!

I prefer ibbskibiddle. Much less likely to cause you to choke from lack of air.

Yeah but, that whole alternate reality got undone, so he could well be ok after all

taumel · 06/22/2010, 06:39 pm

Honestly this was a weird experience as the voice was quite high and then it didn't always sound like a german accent at all, more a weird mix of other languages plus some german words in between.

It's not like I didn't understand the accent itself. The freaking made up words I was trying to actually figure out! I didn't get those weren't actual English words until I put the subtitles. It was more like "A guy talking a foreign language with a foreign accent for the foreign language speakers he's "speaking" with a collage of foreign words for me AND the foreign language he's trying to talk".

I was so proud of me until I meet him. (It has nothing with you Majus, you were awesome as always ^^!).

*Majus* · 06/22/2010, 06:46 pm

Oh, he is not german. He is european.

taumel · 06/22/2010, 06:52 pm

@Majus
That would make more sense. It kind of reminded me of Juergen in a way that he, beside of a few german words, also didn't sound like a german. Even more if you take into account that he should have been from Stuttgart.

*Lena_P* · 06/22/2010, 08:14 pm

Are you questioning Majus' ability to talk in a proper German accent o.O? He can sound German if he works very, very hard at it, you know! Although it is true that his accent has almost entirely disappeared now that he's been in Amerika so long, and people usually assume he's from Orinda.

taumel · 06/22/2010, 09:13 pm

The thread is about a german tourist but that's not the accent of the character. No idea what the intention was but i found it misleading. I don't question that he can talk german, at least one accent, but the character isn't speaking english with a german accent.
