Tyrion Lannister's voice

So I was watching Game of Thrones, excellent show by the way, and I suddenly realized Tyrion's voice sounded so very familiar.

Any of you ever play Thief: The Dark Project? It's an old PC game from way back in 1998 so I wouldn't be surprised if none of you had even heard of it. But it's one of the best computer games ever made in my opinion. The story, the gameplay, all of it just top-notch. And even today it has a large cult following/ fanbase. That's gotta mean something right?

Brother Murus
Anyhoo, there was a ghost in one of the levels named Brother Murus. In reality he was voiced by Randy Smith. And he doesn't actually sound like Tyrion, played by actor Peter Dinklage. Oh wells.

  1. I HAVE heard of the Thief series so HA! I used to have one of them, but I forget just which one -_- I remember though it was seriously hard (see realistic) and I died so many times it was unfunny to me but hilarious to everyone else involved.

  2. @Mark: I love that game. The number of times I've re-played it would have to number in the high two digits.

  3. I have nowhere near the gaming skills I used to have. Modern games are too easy, and so it makes old games even harder. So even if I was to try again, chances are I would die even easier lol. At first I thought it was deadly shadows, but that was released in 04, and I think I remember playing before then, but at the same time I'm almost certain it was Shadows because I could go into the city, that was the first one to have it. My screwy memory is hardly a new subject though.

  4. @Mark: Thief: Deadly Shadows was terrible compared to the first two. I actually started a thread on the Looking Glass forums about the subject.

    By itself, it was a decent game. Me saying it was terrible *compared* to the others tells you how much better the older ones were.

  5. Maybe if I feel like dying I'll give the other ones a shot :) I have too many uncompleted games though, way to many -_-

  7. I'm glad you are enjoying Game of Thrones. Although I did play the game Thief, for some reason I can't remember a damn thing about it.

  8. I hate when you recognize a face or voice and spend the rest of the show trying to remember where it's from instead of watching.
    Thank goodness internet has alieved that somewhat.

  13. Yeah, I know Thief. I never finished it. Last time I played it I just got too scared when I had to go to that place full of undead. :/

    Game of Thrones is awesome.
