I've only read the first couple of pages so far, but I can't believe some of these responses. What the fuck is the matter with you people? It's like it's the 1UP goddamned soap opera hour every time they release a podcast around here.
I for one didn't hear too much of a difference between this episode of LAN Party and prior ones, save the lack of Robert Ashley and Matt. Tina is cool, Alice is cool, Jade is probably cool too, though she didn't seem to talk much here.
You people still banana rydin' Black Dragon and Shawn Elliot and crying that this lineup 'just isn't the same' need to realize that this isn't Grey's fucking Anatomy the radio show and that in real life, people move on to other jobs, high school ends, college ends, friends come and go, and life moves on. And then shut the hell up.
For my money (if I was paying) LAN party is worth the price of admission. Just the fact that these people are all in the same room automatically puts the discussion and chemistry miles above most skyped podcasts.
