Actually you were right. This was a rather crazy mistake on my part – somehow I’ve identified somebody else’s comment from a long time ago with Ron.

I now fixed the text. Good that you pointed this out to me.

Aaah! Genius
I never mentioned that!

But when Ron expressed his interest first !!!???

Thanks, Nojan.

With Ron, it’s not a mistake. He already expressed his interest before, but I linked to his newest comment, because it was the most flattering one.

I used the name Director’s Den name because it sounded better in the context of that sentence. I didn’t mean to inform people that this is its ultimate official title, just to implicate the existence of such a place.

As for The Important Looking Casters, you’ll see a reference to them when you move your cursor over the image of three pirates at the top.

Great diary you’re writing here Igor
But you did some little mistakes;
1st – Ron Gilbert showed his interest after David took over the project.
2nd – Our secret hidden room of casting is not The Directing Den anymore, it’s The Important Looking Casters.
and you may want to give some references and resources to your readers, like the MixnMojo forum topic that started it all(http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=192665&page=1) and I have some old web capture of website when Joe was the Boss(!)if you want.

Don’t hesitate to audition again – there are plenty of roles, both small and large, still left for casting.

We all have mostly pretty standard mics and the quality is usually sufficient. Maybe you just had bad luck when you picked your model.

Ah yeh I almost forgot all about this project! I did some english voicework for broken sword 2.5 that I really enjoyed.

I did audition for this but i remember the part wasnt one i recalled very well and the mic i used was abit muffly (just the bog standard pc one )so Joe reclined. I might get in the recording studio and try out properly for some parts this time…hmmm, tempting!

Heh, it’s ok. EVERYONE makes the same mistake.

Corrected! Sorry about that. Shows how rotten a device brain is – everything is interpreted through the closest available formulas, not minding the letters at all.

It’s good to see my baby is doing just fine =)

I’m very impressed by the work of Charlie Chai – I think he’s only the 3rd person after me and Jestar to actually get what the hell ScummSpeaks is (David only really used it for extracting scripts) and getting Spiffy back in, fantastic! I’ll definitely be looking forward to seeing this game with voice when it’s done, and I think I’ll also be able to feel proud that I at least started it.

Just a note you made the classic mistake (don’t worry, everyone does it) of spelling my name with an extra “D”
