Hope that everything is alright with the guy. Whatever the exact issues are he's wrestling with, though they may seem insurmountable at the time, can always be worse. Seems to me in a lot of ways he has some great things going for him regarding the game industry and his musical talents.

Yeah. To be honest I didnt even really think about it when I did it. But I gave it some thought in the last 5mins.
Again, sorry to anyone that read it. And Chuff if you read this, sorry man, it was a fucking dumb thing to do.
Ill leave it there. If anyone has any specific issue they want to go off at me about, PM it.
aaaaanyway
all this arthur hate and vicious criticism of the podcast might address my major beef with the podcast, which was that it was getting boring. now i kind of want to see how they react to it, if they react to it. also backlog is a great idea and i'm surprised the squillions of other similar roundtable podcasts haven't ripped it off yet

It seems like the RebelFM cast has gone into hiding, not posting on GAF or commenting on their own website. Which is the smart thing to do at this point since they can't defend themselves. They need to regroup for a few days and give some thought to their next episode. I've unsubscribed from the show, but I'll be reading the next RebelFM thread to see how they've addressed the backlash.
I was scanning over the ESG comments... wow at the overwhelmingly negative response. I've never seen an audience turn so quickly. From #1 to... this, though we all know that the #1 was an artificial consequence of the circumstances and not a true reflection of the merits of the show.

Why was Arthur banned? Not up to date on that one.

Heh, well when luke and mark left 1upyours and it was just Garnett (clearly drunk) yelling and Shane telling him to "Shut the fuck up" and two other guest just feeling awkward, there were a lot of people who "gave up" on 1upyours. Sometimes, the group just needs to... regroup and find their flow again. Ahem, with that said though... REBELFM YOU GOT 1 MORE WEEK TO GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER! 1. MORE. WEEK!SnowWolf said:

what else is there to say? this episode wasn't well-received...i've gathered that much. we're insanely grateful that we have nice podcasting equipment and such thanks to donations, but we've all been rather busy trying to make sure we're not podcasting from an alley in a few months. phil and i used to put a TON of prep time into every episode of 1UP FM, but it's different when you're paying your bills with the money you make during that prep time. like i said earlier in this thread, these things take time, which we haven't had much of recently. if you're not willing to stick around to see where it goes, there's not much i can do about that.

I think I posted earlier in this thread that 1up FM and Rebel FM both just don't do it for me. You're right, there's nothing you can do about it, just a matter of my personal preference. I do remember that you were a good guest on a recent CAGcast though. I wish you guys the best of luck, and I'm interested to see how the recent feedback affects the show.

Voltron's usually a good poster. The joke was in extremely bad taste, but I don't think he meant any harm.

Yeah I know. Like I said in reply to Shawns post above, I really didnt think about it. I read that last tweet "looking over the lake" or something, and the line just came into my head, and it seemed funny within the context of the last couple tweets (they were kinda introspective).
In hindsight, not so much. Sorry again to Chuff. Impersonating someone, or saying someone said something they didnt is kind of a no-no.
In this crazy new world of social media tools, expect to see more 'nefarious' stuff in the future IMO. (I.E. all those fake celeb twitter accounts that were showing up). Although my goal was humour, not fakery, obviously suicide is never funny. Ever.

Yeah, well.. Good for him, I guess.Rez>You said:
Goddammit.. I hope nobody else thinks ever again that this is funny or whatever, because you know about the boy crying wolf and so forth. If this shit isn't taken seriously, .. You catch my drift?
Well, I'm sure voltron gets it by now.
I'll unsubscribe for now and come back a bit later to see if it's improved. Creating podcasts is rough work; coming up with the right formula that a group of people like is even harder. The "what are you playing" segments come off very bland and boring is my main complaint. If you can't keep my attention for 15-20 minutes, then a further two hours is impossible.
I would really suggest analyzing Giant Bomb, 1up Yours, etc for tips on how to keep those first few minutes interesting. I'm not trying to be a dick or throw my favorite shows out there. Those shows, however, manage to turn the boring, nerdy 'games I'm playing' discussion into something that's entertaining.
Again, no one finds their groove right away, and it will take work/effort. You guys are fortunate enough to have an instant listener base, and more downloads than most podcasters could ever hope to achieve.

My mind is blown by the fact that Arthur was banned based on a post implying he might pirate a Gamecube game, but Voltron remains ban-free for falsely implying Chuf had twittered about committing suicide.
Pirating >> Suicide.
Awesome priorities GAF.

Liked this episode, I listened over the weekend. I really like this podcast.
I worry that that they take GAF too seriously. The reason being GAF has some intelligent critiques but too many of us are just shouting for attention or trying to see if we can grief our favorite gaming pseudo "celebs" into taking some bait.
Anthony is either tired or depressed during this episode it's obvious. Cheer up for real.

MAYBE VOLTRON SHOULD JUST GO KILL HIMSELF, SEE HOW HE LIKES IT.
There are some major overreactions going on about the episode. Its just one bad episode. i mean every podcast as a bad show every once in a while. If people overreacted and unsubscribed at the first bad episode of other shows nobody would have made it past the first month of Yours or GFW.
