Voiceovers for the game company Maxis.
You know how the Sims speak gibberish? Some human had to record that into a microphone before it could be spoken over and over by virtual humans. And if you think the Sims’ speech is weird, check out the voices in Spore.
Imagine… you look over to the guy in charge, like “Line?” and he says: “Frah juh swah, juh frah juh swah!!”
or
“You really glommed up an inzerg!!”
(Sometimes the gibberish people mess up and start speaking English xD)
We’ve all heard a saying like this one from Alcoholics Anonymous, “You are responsible for the effort, not the result,” or “The ends do not justify the means,” or “Attitude is everything.”
These sayings all point toward the same spiritual principle: How you do things is much more important than what you do.
This is because how you do things is your true “being”. Your being = how you do things.
For instance, I can play some Stevie Ray Vaughan licks on my guitar, but it doesn’t have the same power and beauty as when Stevie played them. Stevie was a master, who had put a lifetime of effort and love into his guitar playing, and I’ve only been playing a few years.
Another area where many men (and some women) are discovering this is dating. An awkward dork can learn the same pickup line, make the same gestures, and speak with the same voice tone as the ‘cool guy,’ but he doesn’t get the girl. The difference is in the vibe. If the awkward dork watches porn and hates his life and isn’t in touch with his heart, that’s how he’s doing life, and the aware woman picks up on that.
A quote from Zen: “The way you do anything is the way you do everything.”
You can’t separate your inner being in one aspect of life from your inner being in another aspect of life.
