I still think the best content Tested ever did was the Lego Endurance Run, personally.
Losing Gary from the podcast just made it unenjoyable to listen to. There was no foil for the other two, and Gary brought a lot of humor to it. Without him, the chemistry changed.
I also came to dislike the worshipping at the altar of Apple. It felt like they would never criticize Apple products until the next revision came along, and dismissed everything else from coverage because it wasn't Apple.
Which is fine if they want to do that, but it disinterested me as a reader when they covered a narrow slice of tech so much.
Edit: as a hoodie enthusiast with too many already, nothing about that seemed worth the money. It seems fine but what makes it stand out for almost $100? At least an expensive pair of dress shoes, there's a noticeable difference in construction and material quality.
Gary was the everyman, and his wonderful sense of humor coupled with his lack of detailed information provided a springboard for Norm and Will to work with. If they bring in somebody for the third seat, let it be someone who is a regular guy.
