This is why I avoid MGS message boards. If not for the stupid fanboys then for the ignorant fanboys. Sure, Raiden's a total woobie, but he's a badass woobie.
Speaking of Quinton Flynn, I was replaying ME2 the other day (yeah, you're probably sick of hearing me talk about that game) and noticed he voiced quite a few extras. With one character it was obvious because he sounded like Raiden with a frog in his throat, but then he also voiced a random turian bartender and it took me a while to figure out it was him because he wasn't using his Axel or Raiden voice.
MGS has pretty much defined what it means to be a woobie, what with all the characters were used up and discarded by their governments (the Boss, Big Boss, Sokolov, pretty much every Emmerich ever), or used for totally immoral and probably painful scientific experiments (Grey Fox, Raiden, Python, the Boss AGAIN).
It takes true talent to make a six foot tall man who looks like Pinhead and makes terrible cold-related puns the entire time you fight him into a woobie but by god Kojima managed it.
I could never get sick of hearing about ME2. :) And yeah, Quinton Flynn's got some major chops. He was also the voice of Reno in Advent Children I believe, and he sounds totally different from Raiden or Axel. A lot more gay, for one. Cause, you know, Raiden's totally not gay. XD
I still say MGS3 had the biggest woobie cast if only for the combined woobieness of Naked Snake and The Boss, though 2 is close behind.
Think he might've also been a minor character in the Shadow Broker mission, but the ME wiki and imdb don't list the character's VA. Sure sounds like him, though.
Yep, he was Reno alright. And yeah, he was more gay than Raiden. Raiden just had sexual tension with a creepy bisexual vampire and got molested by a big, Russian shockey man in joke material. XD
I don't know, Big Boss spends pretty much all his free time in Portable Ops and Peacewalker moping about the Boss. He's pretty wooby, for a craggy, bara mercenary. XD
He's got a pretty distinctive voice, it's true. :)
I haven't even played the actual game, but Rude/Reno is still my otp. XD Partnerslash for the win.
Though it's more like a creepy bisexual vampire had sexual tension with Raiden. XD I don't remember Jack ever initiated any touching, or saying anything with innuendo to Vamp. Poor guy also got mistaken for a girl and groped by the President too.

Partnerslash makes for some of the best ships XD
Poor Raiden, he seems to be a butt-monkey for unwanted gay touches XD
