Not to mention she uses too many pseudonyms according to that website. |

maybe they should change it to "Guinness Book of American Records" rather than "World Records" then. or specify 'American games'. |

You know, I'm still pretty sure Jennifer Hale has done more video game roles than Steve Blum, though this is just a guesstimate.

Yeah, apparently they also have Simpsons as the longest running animated TV series, when its only 500 episodes... One Piece beats that, and thats not even counting the long shows like Doramon and Suzae San which have like 3 times that in Japan. |

There is a difference between longest running and most episodes. To wit: One Piece October 20, 1999 – present (13 years this October) The Simpsons December 17, 1989 – present (23 years this December) (N.b. The above dates are Wikipedia grade information, but they're doubtless close enough to make the point, even if they're not exactly right) And it's irrelevant, because the record holder is in fact Sazae-san, which has been airing since October of 1969 and has somewhere north of 3,660 episodes, thus handily winning by both measures.

I did do research, and saw it here: http://simpsonswiki.net/wiki/Guinness_World_Records Maybe I didn't do it thoroughly enough, but that did tell me it holds the Guinness record for longest animated TV show. -edit- Seems you took the research part out of the original post, but my point still stands. I didn't just make up something without looking it up first. |

I have a feeling that Guiness World Records is a more authoritative source on Guiness World Records than a wiki that anyone can edit without even logging in.

Same here. In both anime and games he's done such amazing work. When I heard him as Grunt in Mass Effect for the first time I didn't recognize it was him at all! (I pride myself on that for a lot of series and games) And now he's playing Amon in the new Avatar show, ratcheting up the epic factor of its already impressive VA roster. Sincerely and most heartfelt congratulations, Mr. Blum. You deserve it. |

The GBOWR Gamers Guide is really messed up to say the least. There are so many errors and so many "questionable" entries, one has to wonder if Guinness can be trusted anymore. One has to be how they handle the "most cosplayers in one place" record. The first attempt, they "cheated" by dressing up a bunch of schoolchildren as Mario. And I question why a British Con gets a record while that record is easily broken by the USA and Japan yet are disqualified for "technicalities" and ignorance. Plus I miss how the original Guinness would be crammed full of lists of the most miniscule record. Now it's too many pics, too little records (text). |

"LONGEST RUNNING SITCOM (EPISODE COUNT)" Wouldn't you call Sazaesan/Doraemon/Shin-chan a 'sitcom' as well? |
