Go go Teddy Bear! As someone stated, get this guy in Elder Scrolls V!!!

This has been really great to see take place. I'm happy for him. But like a lot of other people have mentioned, I really hope he doesn't screw things up somehow. Such a massive change in your life could be really overwhelming and easy to screw up.

Good for him i say

Yeah, this is awesome. B) His voice could fit in Skyrim too.

This 100%.

Damn straight and I can totally hear him as the narrator:

"Our hero emerges out of the cave only to find a new wave of cliff racers storming in on him. How will our hero get out of this situation? Has he finally met his end? Tune in right after these commercials to find out!"


Hm, too bad I can't imagine him not make a comment followed by a commercials announcement. :-/ Oh well, I guess we'll have to put up with TES with commercial breaks!


(I just hope none of EA employees read this post and get any ideas. :cold: )

I first sam him in Hank Green's vlogbrothers video and then I saw him in the original I was amazed. Then I was surprised to see him on the today show. I really like him not just for his voice I think hes a really nice guy. I hope he goes far.

That's why we need him as a FO4 radio host instead.

if it was just drugs? then yes second chances all around
but leaving your family? no i dont think so no second chances, if you had a family you shouldnt ruin there lifes too by running out, do you think they got a second chance because he got rediscovered

Ugh :facepalm: ---I'm so sick of hearing about this guy. Good for him for getting his life back on track but for pete sakes it dosen't have to be a national/world phenomenon sheesh.

You have obviously never had a problem with alcohol or drugs, so I wouldn't expect you to understand what they can (and do) make you do. When you are under the influence of either you WILL say and do things that you would never do had you not been under the influence. Unfortunately that may include distancing yourself from your family because the drugs and alcohol have taken control of you. When you are in a state of mind like this, you cease to become the good person that you were, and become something else entirely.

When I was at my worst, I hadn't talked to my family in nearly ten years; not because I wanted to be an [censored] and just up and leave my family because I no longer liked them, but because the alcohol and drugs had taken over my mind and clouded my judgment to the point that I was no longer able to make a rational decision.

8 years ago I began what would eventually culminate with my transformation from an angry drug addict, to an addict who would begin to make amends with his family (unfortunately it took the death of my father to do this), to a person who five years ago now, walked into work (yes I still had a job, although I don't know how) and was handed a cup and told to "fill it up". I finally had hit the end of the road, I figured "this is it, the party's over." The next few weeks were torture knowing full well what lay ahead for me; A positive test IS grounds for immediate dismissal, but my employer must've seen something in me, and decided out of the kindness of his heart to give me a second chance to make things right. I vowed on that very day that I would not disappoint him. We have had six tests since that day at random intervals. I have not failed a single one, BECAUSE SOMEBODY GAVE ME A SECOND CHANCE.

You would do well to be a little kinder and a little more understanding of the problems that these people face everyday. I'll give you a bit of advice, and suggest that you head down to your local homeless shelter and offer to help those in need. While you are there I'd recommend that you talk to them about their stories, how they got to the point where they are now. I would be willing to bet that if you did this that you would come away with a different perspective.

Many of these want nothing more than to get away from the things that continue to hold them back, but like I said earlier, It is far, far easier to fall back down than it is to get back up and live life on life's own terms. But of course that appears to be beyond your comprehension. I hope that someday you will be able to find it in your heart to forgive those that have wronged you, and to give them a second chance to make it right. They may surprise you.


Take it from somebody who has been there.

TED TED TED TED TED!!!!!

Stay away from the ENABLERS, TED!!!!

It might seem like it's been going on for a while but shockingly it's only been about a week. :shrug:

It may have been a week but it got old quick when every time I turned on my tv and that's all the news (or shows like Enertainment Tonight) talked about :ermm: . But one thing I do find interesting is that he almost looks like Obama. :banana:

How's the weather way up there on your pedestal?

Seriously though He/she really should learn to understand that people of all ages and walks of life can and do make bad decisions every day. a chance at getting a second chance to make things right goes both ways. If all parties involved are willing to give it a go, that's all that matters.the opinions of a few forumites, some of whom can't see fit to be a little forgiving of peoples past mistakes, don't even matter here.

Since when can someone copyright a voice?

Because youtube is taking down any video with his voice in it.

If it's the same audio clip from the original video, they can hold the rights since it was originally filmed for a piece for the Columbus Dispatch.

Its really the only thing I hear about here in Ohio...America really loves a comeback..

Good for him.

dude, its no pedestal, i know whats it like to be abandoned it svcks, ok my parents were lunatics and are now homeless i dont think they should get a break neither should him, i dont care if drugs were the reason he shouldnt be all popular
i mean heck he was detained for arguing with the kid that he abandoned

Ted just got busted by the LAPD, they went to his hotel in Hollywood. Guess hes back to his old tricks.

It appears that it was indeed an argument with his daughter that caused a hotel employee to call the cops., Neither of them wanted to press charges.

As far as the argument itself, I'm sure emotions are running pretty high for both father and daughter right now. If there's any chance of repairing that relationship it is going to take time, and a willingness to forgive for one's past misdeeds. Things like this do not happen overnight, and repairing it won't happen overnight either.

Eight years after my fathers death, I'm sure my siblings, and maybe even my mother still hold a little resentment over my past actions. I do know that they accept me for what I am now, not what I used to be, because they know I have changed. That doesn't mean that it won't still hurt, but you have to let go of that hurt in order to begin the healing, they will never forget, and I wouldn't ask them to, but I am thankful that they decided not to continue holding a grudge against me for the rest of our lives. All that does is hurt everybody involved and then no one heals.

http://www.latimes.com/news/la-me-ted-williams-20110112,0,7966433.story is him going "back to his old tricks" to you?

That's a bad situation for you, but that does not give you the right to judge a man that you don't know or project your feelings against your own parents on him. If anything, him being away from his family while he was abusing drugs is the lesser of two evils.
