Funny, I was lurking around on my computer...looking for sounds to play on my robot.... Anyway, after searching a found a folder in L4D folder packed with over 5000 sounds from bill, biker dude, zoey and luis.

Anyway... I really enjoyed playing L4D... So, I took an old defunct nabaztag rabbit, and made it play some L4D voices. Some of them are really funny, and I kinda enjoy hearing them play once every half an hour.

Bill will still live on in my Rabbit.

In memory of: Bill

He also did the voice of Father Grigori apparently, I wonder if he liked video games or just kind of found valve and became the voice for some of the most iconic characters ever.

Left 4 Dead was not his only video game credit. French was also the voice of Father Grigori in Half Life 2, and the Elder Titan in Dota 2. All three are published by Valve Corp.

Yeah, I wonder about that myself. But that could be said for any voice actor of these games, tho, I suppose the older you get the less of a gamer one becomes. Hmmm, I suppose when my hands start getting all arthritic .... and my eyesight and hearing diminishing I suspect I might give it up! hahaha Enjoy it while you can kids!

Woah he lived til 89....

means he was pretty old when he did the VA's ...

but definitely RIP...
I liked Bill's VA. He was the typical grumpy old senior stereotype.

Bill will always be one of the best.
