Amused Geeks

So Valve has decided on an actor for the robot Wheatley for Portal 2. Turns out the person doing the voice in the original video was a Valve employee, so they have made a new video with Stephen Merchant doing the Wheatley Voice. Unfortunately they also deleted the original version of the video (originally posted here: http://www.amused-geeks.com/2010/06/29/new-portal-video/).

I personally prefer the new voice, but there seem to be a number of people who liked the old voice. Since I tend to keep copies of everything, here’s both so you can decide for yourself.
