HA, its funny you mentioning this because at the moment I am playing
Black Mirror 2 and although most of the voices are bearable (not great,
even Darren's voice is a little annoying sometimes) you get over it as you
progress... but the moment I stepped into the Sanatorium (Willow Creek)
the voice of the owner in the reception area (can't remember name)
made me cringe. I immediately thought they where using one of the programmers
or the guy that comes in once a week to cleans the toilets...to do the voice.
its really bad!
