Here's a neat video I found showing the game progression over the series.

Have been diving back to skyrim again, where I picked this series up. Lots of fun. Can't wait to listen!

At this years Space City Con, Claudia Christian mentioned her voice acting gig on The Elder Scrolls V.
She explains when actors do voice work they are often not told the name of the project. "I go in the booth and do it. It could be Snowball; they always hide the names."

Later she gets a phone call from her 2 nephews who had never shown interest in her work...
"I'm playing Skyrim and I just killed you! You didn't even tell me you were in it!"

Claudia says after countless TV and movie appearances - nothing, not until she is Aela the Huntress!

That is a funny story! I always thought they knew the projects they were working on. Jennifer Hale knew she was doing Mass Effect. I guess it depends on the character and the game.

Also, it would be weird if I came upon my aunt in a game and was forced to battle her to the death.

That is a GREAT video! Did we miss a few games, Chris? After watching this, I am sort of surprised at how much more advanced the graphics are in Skyrim than in Oblivion. I didn't realize it had improved so much.

Rico, have you ever played any of these games?

Rico, you had to do a little digging to find that Elf cosplay pic of me for the episode art, LOL. That was B.C., or "Before Child"...almost five years now. Dave took that of me at the Texas Renaissance Festival when I was waiting for him to get me a beer. I was watching the pirates band. :)

Yeah, I was trying to get pics of both you and Chris is some type of fantasy type costumes to go along with the podcast subject. I knew you had some Ren Faire pics around but Chris of course was harder on that, so I had to settle for him in his Solo gear.  :)

I think you chose well. :)  And Chris's Solo costume is epic.

And on that note, I had a bit of a day so I'm going to go take it out on some bandits, vampires and necromancers and if they're about... "bandit vampire necromancers" too. They have it coming.

Yeah, I think I need to go do some of that after the day I had.

Also, we DO both look good in our pictures. Naturally.
