That's TJ Flynn, and he's been with the project since Day 1, so I'm happy to hear him as the narrator.  The only other person I think who could or should have done it would be Tom, or maybe have Darshpreet come back.

Flynn (as in the name) definitely sounds Irish. The Irish build things good and strong.

Could never decide which accent I liked better; Scottish (part of my heritage), Irish, Australian, South African, the Deep South in the USA or Texan. (haha..cool, the autocorrect autocorrected the Deep South to be capitalized!)

EDIT: So just watched the video, gotta say, it was well done. The accent didn't bother me, though it was fairly strong, but Flynn was obviously trying to enunciating every word clearly. I'm sure if he is Irish, he'd have a job in broadcast somewhere.
