The Use of Art Bell

TurboNed · 11-03-2006, 01:07 PM

Having had the opportunity to make many late-night drives from LA to home in the high desert, Art Bell was one thing that helped me stay awake over those drives. Hearing his voice in-game the first time surprised me, then made me laugh. It was a fantastic touch, thank you guys for throwing that in there!

You guys obviously did your research too, because the "callers" sounded as authentic as anything I've ever heard on that show!

Yeah, I quite liked this myself.

I'm glad they didn't try to 'make up' an Art Bell imitation. Using the real person (with realistic calls) really adds to the immersion.

I'm not sure what I find funnier, the fact that the Keeper actually called him or that the aliens in general actually like listening to his show.

I loved the Art Bell broadcasts... I made a separate save file at each one, so I can listen to them whenever I want.

Ya, you can get them from the PAK4 file too, then there's no disruption.
