      They lost their main VA because he’s a creep. I wonder if they’re gonna hire the same guys Adult Swim hired to replace Roiland on Rick and Morty. The obviously had to emphasize something other than the voice acting, so they went with the skateboarding mechanic.

      The studio ditched Roiland as soon as the game was released. He only voiced one gun if I recall (the main one), but wasn’t involved in production or writing at all except for a bit of improv presumably.

      He also had no involvement in the dlc and the gun he voiced didn’t feature.

      The original game had many other guns with many other voices from other, more famous comedians.

      Don’t think there’s as much “drama” here as the internet wants there to be. The studio got a clean break from him as soon as it could, and it seems to be going fine.

    One thing that I hope they didn’t carry over from the first one is the ad-libbing of 90% of the NPC’s lines. The voice actor is not good at improv and constantly resorts to swearing and throwing insults out of no where for cheap shock value whenever he hits a block. At first it was funny because it was different to what you’re used to but it got old really quick.

      Justin Roiland hasn’t been with Squanch Games since the abuse allegations and lawsuit regarding his sexual harassment of an employee. Roiland was not named specifically in the suit, but the suit was settled out of court and Roiland left Squanch at the same time, so we can all put 2 and 2 together and make “Roiland is a disgusting freak.”

      He wasn’t even in the DLC from the first game, High on Knife.

      So yeah, no worries on that front.

    Hopefully JB Smooth can be the frog gun still. He was cool. Also the one that shot goober babies out was friendly I liked him too.
