#329- Who is your favorite voice actor from games or movies?
Lol
Do you really need to ask? xD
Jennifer Hale. Queen supreme of voice-acting. If any playable character on any game has her voice, you bet that's the one I'm playing.
Also sis ='( why aren't you participating in your own thread anymore?

Jenn Hale (Commander Shepard, Mass Effect Series; Commander Palmer, Halo 4...), Tara Strong (Raven, Teen Titans; Twilight Sparkle, My Little Pony), and Grey DeLisle (Mandy, Grim Adventures; Azula, Avatar) are the three queens of Voice Acting.
I love Billy West (Stimpy, Ren & Stimpy; EVERYONE (almost) in Futurama) and Ellen McLain (GlaDOS, Portal; Combine Overwatch, Half-Life 2; Announcer, Team Fortress 2).
Logan Cunningham, the narrator in Bastion, gets an honorable mention, because while he's only been involved in that one game, his voice is like smooth chocolate in my ears.

I was gone for the weekend so I will make a compilation of answers.
#327- Do you think that explicit sex scenes should be kept out of general literature?
As MyTie said, should the society or government enforce upon the ones who write, their will? No.
But I do not think writers should actually try to avoid such scenes. Sometimes a detailed sex scene done in a certain way can be used to paint a better picture of a character. Villains are careless, violent, heroes are caring and passionate. Sometimes, some event is bound to happen during a sex scene. I agree that an unnecessary amount of sex scenes can really ruin the book, but a reasonable amount is fine.
Also, I absolutely can not identify with the notion of "I am not a teenager, so I am not into that". One does not have to be in the teens to be able to enjoy a well executed sex scene.
#328- How comfortable are you with human touch?
Quite comfortable. Handshakes are amazing, I especially like the etiqutte around them... like, a proper handshake is one where you look into the eyes of the person you are shaking hands with, squeeze his hand tightly, but not too strong to cause any harm, and both participants have to be
standing up
, I hate it when I want to shake hands with someone and he just sits there like a duck. A proper handshake is the ultimate sign of mutual respect.
I am not a huge fan of all the various silly "bro-versions" of handshakes. If some people choose to use them within a group of personal friends, cool for them, but when greeting me, they better show me how they can shake hands.
I'm cool with hugs too. It is a form of greeting that most of the girls from my dancing group use. Men? Not so much. I am fine with hugging a dude, but its just not something I would ever try to do. Shaking hands with a guy is much better than hugging him.
Kissing on the mouth is not commonly used as a greeting, and I would not be comfortable with anyone (aside from my SO) trying to do that. "Cheek kissing" is something that girls tend to do during hugs, I am not a huge fan of it cause I find it extremely pointless, but when someone wants to do it, I just play along.
When it comes to my girlfriend, I try to maintain some form of physical contact with her all the time. We hold our hands any time we can, when we sit next to each other, I put my arm around her shoulders and she rests her head on mine, we hug a ton and stuff. I generally do not like excessive kissing in places that are packed with people, like buses and trams, and excessive kissing when we are in the presence of some other people who wish to socially interact with us, but otherwise, we kiss a lot too.
#329- Who is your favorite voice actor from games or movies?
Logan Cunningham, the narrator of Bastion and Transistor.
There are a few characters which were really well voiced, but I am not too much into looking up and following their voice actors. Vaas from Far Cry 3 and Joker from Mass Effect.
And while I am not like, a huge fan of Jennifer Hale, I have to say that the woman knows her job.

Joker from Mass Effect.
Seth Green, he also does voices for Family Guy, Robot Chicken and lots of other things. When I started ME1 I knew right away who it was because I watched FG and RC so much.
Personally I don't have a favorite.

He doesn't just do voices, he does so many it's not even logical.
Too bad family guy is so politically opinionated it seems like "Michael Moore Animated" sometimes.

But we digress, I suppose.

#330- Who gave you the best piece of advice, and what was it?
Post by
Interest
The #$%^ is this "advice" stuff you speak of?
In all seriousness, while I've gotten some, the best advice I've gotten is from books ("only sovereign you should allow to rule you is reason", etc)

A college colleague of my dad's was visiting and made the comment that it's one thing to work hard and make heaps of money, but that it's important to remember what it is that we're working for. We don't work hard to make money, we work hard to be able to live and enjoy life, and so, to do all things in moderation and remember to take time out to smell the roses occasionally.

Whilst probably not the 'best' piece of advice I've ever been given, certainly the most memorable was from back when I was on either my second or third trip to sea as a cadet, I was informed that there were two things that you never get at sea and they were a game of billiards and sympathy!

It depends on how you define advice. I can't really think of a single piece of small philosophy (a "piece" of advice) that I've really based my life on. As far as the most influential person in shaping my philosophy as a whole, though, I could name Richard Dawkins, Carl Sagan, and the writers of My Little Pony.

Here's a couple:
1) Talk to someone about your problems. Anyone. Always.
2) Learn to not judge people's tastes (music, clothing, food, entertainment, sex), and you will save yourself a lot of needless mental distress.
3) Never get involved in a land war in Asia
