Who else thinks Ellen McLain (GLaDOS from Portal) should voice the ghost?

Nolan North is definitely better than Peter Dinklage, but I still feel as though the ghost is lacking character. Oh, I know! How about replacing the ghost's voice with GLaDOS? I don't think anything could better capture humanity's desperate situation better than a homicidal, sarcastic AI who hates humanity. Also, she did say she wanted to take up a new hobby, reanimating the dead: ""Oh good, you're alive...again. You're confused? Well, I suppose that is normal for somebody who has spent the last 1000 years being dead. Yes, I am serious. You really have been dead for 1000 years. Which means everybody you ever knew is dead. All your friends, your family, your pets, they're all dead. They no longer exist. In fact, I would not be surprised if you were breathing in their dead vaporized body particles right now. Oh don't cry. Look on the bright side. All your enemies are dead too. Whenever I feel upset, all I have to do is remember all the enemies that I have killed and forget the ones that I have...missed." *Distant Fallen roar* "That reminds me. Remember when I said your enemies were dead? Well now you have new enemies. That threatening roar you heard just now belongs to one of them. It's not even human. There aren't much of those around anymore. In fact, all that remains of humanity is one last miserable city. And it is parked underneath a giant floating ball which could come crashing down on it at any moment. An ironic end to the reign of humanity: killed by something that died trying to save it. Anyway, you are humanity's last hope. No, I am not being sarcastic...sadly. Good news though: unlike the rest of those filthy humans, you cannot die. I can bring you back to life any time I want. So don't worry about getting shot, or brutally torn limb from limb by Cabal, or being dissolved with acid, or jumping off a cliff. I will simply bring you back to life...and then you can experience those things all over again." EDIT: How about wheatley voicing the ghost? [spoiler]. Wheatley: Hello? HELLOOOOOO? Oh FANTASTIC! You're awake! Wow, I honestly didn't think that'd work you know. Wow, being a ghost is incredible!!! *flies around ecstatically* WOOHOO! I JUST REANIMATED THE DEAD!!! LOOK AT ME!!!! *comes to a stop in front of the guardian.* This is AMAZING! The speaker told me I could reanimate the dead, but I didn't actually believe him! "Nutters! You can't bring the dead back to life!!!" I thought, but here you are, not dead!! Wow...this is.....simply amazing. Oh, I'm sorry guardian, you must be confused. You've been dead for a long time and I just brought you back to life. *distant roar* Umm....I'll have to explain our situation later. For now, we should run towards that wall.  *enters the wall*  Wheatley: So, I've been floating around the moon for centuries, losing my power. Then BOOM, next thing you know, I'm a ghost! Crazy isn't it? One moment I'm floating powerless, the next moment I'm a ghost for the traveler! I don't even know what a ghost is, but I'm LOVING IT! Oh, sorry. Um......yeah, I'm detecting movement all around us. OH GOD, WHAT WAS THAT?!? Oh, that's just arat. Sorry! Just a rat. OH GOD!!!!!! THAT WAS NOT ARAT!!!!!! RUN!!!!!!!!!! Oh wait, it left us alone. ....scary. Oh look! There's a gun over there! You should probably pick it up!  skip forward all the way to the first hive encounter Wheatley: Wow, we can't see a thing. Hold on.....GAH!!!!! *turns on light* Doing that scares the bejesus out of me every time! Oh well, now at least we can see now.  Wheatley: You know what? I'm detecting lots of movement ahead. I have a really really really bad feeling about this you know? Why can't the speaker ever send us anywhere nice? It's never "Go here and inspect this tropical beach." or "Go camping in the mountains." Instead it's always "Go inspect this eerie derelict building with scary monsters!". I mean, I guess technically that IS our responsibility, but you'd think they'd give us a brea.. OH GOD, ZOMBIES....I MEAN THE HIVE!!!!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! DON'T EVEN BOTHER TO SHOOT THEM...WELL, SHOOT THEM IF YOU HAVE TO, BUT THEN RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *the next few minutes, Wheatley continues to scream frantically while the guardian kills the hive.* Wheatley: Well then....I knew you could handle it. I was just screaming.....to encourage you. I wasn't really scared.....well....nevermind.  skip forward to the Devil's lair strike mission, the first crescendo event with the terminal Wheatley: Well...I'm going to have to hack this terminal. I think I'm getting better at this, so I shouldn't have any problems this time. Let's see........oh boy........umm......no trouble, no trouble at all...this should be easy....he....hehehe....*nervous laughter* Wheatley: I may have just accidentally set off an alarm! I'm so sorry! I'll try to fix it. EEEEEEEEERGH!!!!! I JUST MADE IT WORSE! NOW THERE ARE TWO ALARMS!!!!!! WHY DO THEY HAVE TWO ALARMS?! I MEAN, ONE ALARM SHOULD BE ENOUGH, BUT TWO ALARMS?!? *starts getting into an argument with a Fallen AI in the terminal.  Wheatley: WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M NOT ALLOWED IN? I AM A FALLEN! LET ME IN!.......SO WHAT I DON'T LOOK LIKE A FALLEN! I'M A NEW TYPE OF CYBORG FALLEN DISGUISED AS A GHOST!!! I'M LEADING THESE FILTHY HUMANS TO THEIR DEATH AS AN OFFERING TO YOUR...I MEAN OUR GOD, SEPIKS PRIME! COME ON!!!!! wait what? Prove...I'm a fallen? What, DO YOU WANT ME TO BLOW MY COVER? WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M A MORON?!? NO, COME BACK! COME BACK! ARGHHHH!!! *slams his body into the terminal and causes it to short circuit, the gate opens.  Wheatley: Well, that was easy!

  • I'm sorry, but I wish Dinklage never moved on. He is way better than North and at least gave the ghost a bit of grit. If the ghost with North's voice was given a human form, he'd be the kid that gets his lunch money taken.

    • Right. He sounded like a little robotic flying thingy. Dink's "Where's his ghost?" sounded so much better, for example. It had more of a contemplative tune to it. North's is a bit more "Zoinks! Where's his ghost?". Like...really, dude? Put on your big boy pants. Dink's ghost had more pomp and circumstance.

      • The first time I played everything I liked it simply for the fact that it was familiar. Then after a bit you notice that he did a horrible job. No emotion at all. I like Nolan better. It's a matter of opinion that's all. He sounds like a "little light" more than dink
