Bruce Campbell allusion?

from Sins Forums

So, the first time I heard the voice acting for the TEC Flak Frigate ("I heard you have a fighter problem.... let's swat some flies") I couldn't help but think of Bruce Campbell.  (ala the Evil Dead movies)

Who did the voice for that guy?  Is the similarity intentional?  I swear, I paused the game and checked the credits file thinking I'd found a camio.

Anyone else think the same thing?

Who's Bruce Campbell?

but honestly, if someone (moderately?) famous were to do a camio, they'd do it for nothing less than a capital ship methinks...

on the note of voice acting, anyone think Starbases need a voiceovers instead of just the groan of machinery?

I agree that the voice sounds like his, but I'm pretty sure he'd be in the credits and the game would be in his bio (like Tachyon is).  Yeah, I also did a double-take when I first heard it.  The voice overs in this game a done pretty well imo, and the more the merrier.

Funny thing is, I remember back in the day contemplating whether a sound card would really improve my enjoyment of a game enough to make the investment worthwhile.  Mind you, this was back when high-fidelity compter audio was considered allowing the PC to make more than one beep, let alone a beep in another tone (OMG!!1!).

I can't believe what I am reading,
And I question the life you've been leading.
If you never once saw
Evil Dead, I'm in awe,
And if this is a trick, it's succeeding!

He's the king of of the B movie scene,
And a few movies you may have seen.
Like in Spiderman 2,
(Though a small role, it's true).
And to meet him, I'd sell you my spleen!

I would prefer to believe that those Old Spice commercials with Bruce are an accurate depiction of his daily home life.
