....lol, that was rather useful
Yeah, that happened for me as well, figured it just wasn't finished uploading when I grabbed it. Got a new one and it worked.Hey, has anyone else had their podcast abruptly end in the middle of the news section?
Also, no way in hell is this the worst 1UY ever. That said, I liked Bill a lot more on GFW back in May...
EDIT: well, obviously there's something wrong; this week's podcast got taken off of iTunes.![]()
yep, I'm about 10 minutes in and it's pretty bad...MickeyKnox said:The 1up yours crew should really stick to console discussions, any and all of their PC related talk makes me cringe.
probune said:I think this is the best 1up yours ever. Then again I'm not PC phobic like 99% of you guys are.
Linkzg said:so you are console phobic then?
my issue with it was that this entire podcast was done much better a while back on GFW, but devoting an entire podcast pretty much to Hellgate London while no one seemed that enthusiastic about it was boring in general.
infact, it isnt a PC thing or Hellgate thing at all, I found most of the podcasts where they were talking a lot about Halo 3 to be boring segments also. There is only so much you can hear about one game, usually there is a wide range of games being talked about but this time it wasnt the case. I like the 4 minute warning 1upyours or the ones where there are game related stories from their past and things like that.
traveler said:The entire podcast? More like 1/3. Given the lack of PC talk usually, that's hardly a huge "concession." And I think it's just interesting hear Roper's thoughts on things, even as someone who probably won't play Hellgate.
Linkzg said:I enjoyed Roper in the first segment, especially about the skate lovefest.
and ofcourse there would be a lack of console talk, most PC reviews from 1up are from the GFW guys (like Shawn Elliot's review of The Orange Box were the ones on 1up), and GFW has a podcast that is all about PC gaming (well, kind of, you know...somewhat I guess). I dont mind PC talk in the what youve been playing segment and all that, but as a main draw for the podcast it is out of place. I doubt anyone would like it if GFW devoted a large portion of their podcast to a console game that wouldent be comming to PC.
traveler said:Where did this idea that 1up Yours is supposed to be the console podcast come from? EGM Live is the "console exclusive" podcast and GFW is the "PC exclusive podcast." 1up Yours, by 1up's own admission, is supposed to be the one that covers them all. Why does PC have to be relegated to one place while consoles get multiple podcasts?
Linkzg said:this is getting into a creepy level of analyzing gaming podcasts.
but it isnt like saying "NO PC GAMES ON 1UP, GO TO HELL AND BURN!", it just doesnt seem to be a common thing on the podcast, that is all.
I remember when everyone hated the 1upshow that was all about PC games, but I enjoyed that a lot, people think differently about different things.
Linkzg said:so you are console phobic then?
probune said:No, where would you get that idea? I play games regardless of the system.
I'm just saying that there are people who are looking forward to Hellgate that enjoyed the interview, and that some people want to see PC games discussed on the podcast.

Kuroyume said:I'll use a sports analogy to explain why I don't like PC coverage.
Let's assume that gaming discussion on this show is comparable to sports discussion. Whenever I watch a sports segment, I want to see only baseball and football discussed. PC gaming is comparable to soccer. I don't want to see that crap on a sports show. I want to see real sports. Will Wright being brought up on this show is comparable to David Beckham news following real sports news. Who cares?

Kuroyume said:Yeah... That was tough to listen to. I lasted with the show all the way up to when Mielke started babbling about beats in E4. I skipped that, the Hellgate crap, and then skipped around the last segment. It was absolutely boring. The only part that I really enjoyed was when Shane ripped Forever Blue apart. So, I guess Shane thinks we have a group of 11 year old girls at GAF?

Tieno said:Maybe I'm the only one but I'm interested in the game industry in general. Even though I don't play PC games really or am interested in Hellgate, when Roeper was on GFW he was pretty good. Looking forward to this podcast too.
Broaden your horizons a little bit.

AstroLad said::lol you will get a lot of hate for it I bet but you are probably being OVERLY kind. PC gaming is pretty much composed of (1) grammas cheating at Scrabble (2) people playing FPS/RTS games in between editing Excel spreadsheets (and hey you don't even have to pick up an actual game controller because the devs are to lazy to evolutionize the control schemes in these "classic" PC genres) and (3) dweebs having weddings in Second Life.
Soccer? More like professional BOWLING.

People spend thousands of dollars a year for this? This is something I as a console gamer am supposed to respect? :lol yeah right.
Which reigns supreme? The ad answers it's own question.

Either way, GFW for all PC talk, 1up Yours for console talk, and EGM Live for a show that I never listen to.
