My problem isn't asking for money, it's the pretense in which the request was made. The way it sounded, every penny of the money was going back into the show which is unbelievable even if they shopped at the most expensive store on the planet. If they came out and said, "Hey, we have rent" and managed to raise that money, you'd have no complaints from me. Others I'm sure would bitch but as long as you're up front, hey, go nuts.Rez>You said:Everyone having a go at them for asking for donations in their first few episodes really need to step back and fine tune their basic comprehension skills.
Disgusting.

Perfect summation. The meandering conversation was conspicuous evidence of there being no outline or theme developed for this episode prior to recording. A few bullet points do not suffice as preparation. Importantly, there should be a participant whose role is to keep the conversation moving (i.e. the host); witness the Bombcast.lawblob said:Yeah, I would rather listen to a somewhat bland IGN podcast than a show with a bunch of people trying to lazily play the role of gaming philosopher. If there is one thing I can't stand, it is when podcasts try to hide their lack of preparation with a general "bullshit" session that has no real insight.
But how do you do 1UP FM's segments when you no longer have the resources? Shelf life is out because you don't get to play the games pre-release as are the developer interviews. Only thing that really translates is backlog (which I never listened to) and the mail bag.Puck said:I liked the structure of 1up FM a lot more than this letsdecideonthespotwhatwe'regoingtotalk about attitude.

rocksolidaudio said:not that there's any reason for me to be in this thread at this point, but for those questioning, we ordered two more mics for next week. we weren't sure if we would regularly have six people on, and figured the sharing would work out when we did. it didn't, so we're upgrading -- to add to the crapload of other equipment we picked up. though we're still recording in a living room in Oakland; we'll figuring out some soundproofing to compliment the nice equipment, but as with everything else, it takes time.
voltron said:You really are pathetic. And you need to learn the definition of 'parody'.
Punchy said:I'm glad you guys are getting more mics, but - at this point - I'd probably be more satisfied if you only bought one more mic and just stopped letting Arthur on the show.
This is where I have to disagree. L4D was nominated for several awards in animation, and for good reason. It will be hard to go back to Resident Evil and House of the Dead after L4D. The zombies in L4D just have so much more weight and physicality due to the animation and physics.Sectus said:That HL2/shooter argument seemed very pointless. Even if he thinks it isn't within the shooting genre, who the heck cares? And this quote made me confused: "And the shooting not being as good as other games is the reason why I have it a 9.5 and not a 10." So instead of giving it a very very very very very very very good score you "only" gave it a very very very very very very good score? M'kay.
I personally agree that the basic shooting mechanics in most Valve games are rather mediocre, I hate how just about all the guns are so inaccurate, even at the first shot. And L4D just feels like you're shooting paper, enemies fall down so quickly but you still don't feel any actual impact to the shooting. They should have been arguing that instead of what genre HL2 is in
The short RE5 talk was nice. I love the RE5 demo, and if the full game is even better and it has some of the typical exploration/puzzle solving from RE4, then that's great.
What the fuck difference does it make if he didn't work at 1up? Its not like if you work there you have some heightened right to podcast.Jax said:The problem with Aegis is/has always been... he's some random douche who got a bit of the 1up fallout starshine. He has no established personality to fall back on and no one cares about him/his opinion

Heres an idea.
Keep Anthony ON a microphone the whole time, and let the pseudo-intellectual, hair-splitin, semantic-spitin, argumentative, insulting,indefensible opinion havin, rudely interuptin, needlessly vulgar Arthur take a seat in the corner and watch the professionals work. Seriously, this guy produces more wahjah than a 45 year old Naruto cosplayer performing a live action fan-fic skit at a retirement home.
