In July of last year, TGL hosted a very special live panel interview at Dublin’s Arcade Con 2012 with our good friend - veteran voice actor Quinton Flynn. We’re huge fans of Quinton and his work, so it was a real honour for us to finally meet the man, invite him to Ireland and hear all about his work and all of the great...

Quinton Flynn, known to gamers as Raiden from Metal Gear Solid franchise, Henry from No More Heroes and Axel from Kingdom…

As part of the panel, we arranged that our Q&A session would be interrupted by a CODEC call or two from a couple of Raiden’s old Metal Gear friends, Solid Snake and Colonel Roy Campbell. TGL’s buddies David Hayter and Paul Eiding lent their voices to a handful of original CODEC voice overs for us and it goes without saying that they did an incredible job. I think the reaction of the audience to the Solid Snake CODEC below says it all.

We’ve managed to secure a pair of weekend tickets to Arcade Con to give away to a lucky TGL reader that will grant you and a buddy access to everything to do with TGL and Quinton as well as all of the different experiences offered by Ireland’s premier anime, gaming and music convention.

TheGamingLiberty will be attending ArcadeCon this July 13-15 at the D4 Hotel in Ballsbridge in Dublin and we want you to be there with us. Here’s why….

TGL is honoured and thrilled to formally announce that we will be collaborating with ARCADECON 2012 in Dublin this July, bringing what TGL does best to what is fast becoming Ireland’s most popular gaming, anime, comics, movies and music convention.

We are honoured and delighted to formally announce TGL “SPEAKS” LIVE is coming to Dublin this Summer and you’re all invited.

Have you seen the leaked trailer of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance? It’s most certainly not what we were expecting. It’s different. Very different. However, one thing that isn’t different (thankfully) is the voice behind the game’s protagonist Raiden.

Quinton Flynn is one of the most established voice actors in the games industry. His repertoire ranges from work in the Final Fantasy VII Advent Children

In the first part of our exclusive interview with the man behind the voice, TGL delves into Quinton’s Irish roots, asks him about how he first got involved in voice acting, we talk to him about the negative reaction that defined Raiden’s arrival on the Metal Gear scene and why he believes voice actors don’t get the credit they deserve for the work they do.

Here we go……

What good is Raiden without the voice that defines him?
