I thought you were a UK guy?

Humch is French, he works in England though.

Wow that was quick! Yeah, I see now.

I'm Irish, but you must realize that that doesn't stop me preferring the Oxford spelling!

My way to speak English always confused my English teachers, it is a mix of American and British.
As well when talking or writing, although my pronunciation remains Brit with a slight touch of Scottish for my pronunciation of the "O", and probably a little bit of Australian.
I wonder how Humch is talking in English though, I heard him singing completely drunk but never speaking English.
Also PluM I never heard any Irish accent, although I readed it had something to do with a strong pronunciation of the "R".

My Os are "Scottish" too, but that's very characteristic of rural Irish speakers too.
Rs? Well, they're a very mixed bag in Ireland. They are "strong" in that most Irish accents are completely and rather emphatically rhotic, in contrast with our neighbours who usually don't pronounce Rs after vowels. But as for how we pronounce our Rs, well, that seems to vary significantly across the country.
I would go into more detail but I really should be studying!

I pronounce my Os normally

Backing or fronting dipthong?

I'll wait your let's play of " The Ball".

It's already up.

I'm gonna be honest, I really, really, didn't expect your voice to sound like that.
As a matter of fact, you sound kinda... Russian !

That'd be the influence of my Russian Maths professor I guess.

So in that game, you're pretty much a Giant Dung Beetle, carrying your ball all over the place.
There is strong Wolfenstein, Doom 3 Resident of Evil and Uncharted 3 vibes in that game.
But seriously, you sound a lot like Artyom's english dubber in Metro 2033, I think you'd like that game

Well yeah, except that the ball was built by aliens hundreds of years ago.

Interesting, and thanks for the recommendation. Actually I sound a lot like my father. But the voice in my head sounds more like Emma de Caunes in BG&E.

One does not prevent the other ! It could've been built by Giant Alien Dung Beetles that later inspired Egyptians for their Hieroglyphs and Pyramids !
MIND BLOWN.

You're welcome, it rapidly became one of my favorites video-games for the depth of the scenario (although you'll have to be patient to be aware of it)

ROFL, I sometimes imitate her father's characters when I talk, especially Didier l'embrouille.
I never new she acted in BG&E actually !
My mature self sounds like Nolan North, so I guess were both a bit strange.

Well you see one of the aliens in the game, he doesn't really look like a giant dung beetle. However, the sequel reveals that those aliens got the design from even more ancient and mysterious aliens, so it's not ruled out!

Well yeah, American English is the new lingua franca so I guess I got used to it.

Giant dung beetles, is that what you're calling black people? Cause they built them pyramids (and they used to fly).

And here I was thinking that flying pyramids were the doing of the Illuminati.

Which means black people could be linked to the Illuminati.
