* ActingForTwo: Happens most often with Michael Gibson, but there are other instances: In "Move or Die", Jennifer Gould plays both Wilma and the police officer she calls in, and in the Agricultural Institute of Canada's Professionalism and Ethics Simulation, Dennis O'Connor plays both John the Realtor and Mike of the Farmer family he's offering to purchase assets from. Most other games don't credit who plays whom, but in "Sir Basil Pike Public School", the kid from Ferndale that Tariq helps interrogate sounds just like Tariq speaking at a higher pitch, and it's also likely that Lisa Brown plays multiple staff members in one scene. The limited number of actors credited for "The Track Meet" strongly suggests that Chip and Jimmy have the same voice.
