Alice Liang's 1up Podcast

I expected this one to be the best of the bunch (check out my tenuous [and sexist] thesis regarding this matter in the thread about Ray's show), but I had trouble liking it. Having someone phone in was a really bad idea. Everyone's zeal to not slight the caller at the end of each conversation was so pitiful to observe, I felt cheap myself. Alice should have seen this coming: it's her show. The golden rule seems to be (Three Moves Ahead has taught me this): unless everyone's phoning in, have no one phone in.

However, the sex game discussion was good. I mean, it led nowhere, swiftly subsided and you could feel people becoming uncomfortable with Frank, -- but it was a start. Many gaming related podcasts sport a lot of sexual innuendo, yet are still hosted by resentful puritans, rather making do with sex' existence than appreciating its reality and power.

Ray's show was the best. He's even more likable when he's forced to speak, because he's the host. I thought I would like Alice's the best, then Frank's, then Ray's. But it's the reverse order, now that I've seen the results. My vote goes out to Ray.

I thought it was okay. The phone thing isn't good. The porn stuff was really weird.

There should be an all girl podcast led by Alice.

I thought it was pretty good also,the RDR talk was great,the phone girl talking(sorry forgot her name now)was good besides one instance when the sound was lowered for some reason,and some of the subjects,like the porn talk,was good but just a little too long...overall though,I loved it...I didn`t listen to the Alan Wake spoiler part at the end,because I didn`t play the game yet but if it was like the Red Dead talk,i`m sure it was great.

Will this be a regular thing now? I hope so,I would had this to my Ziepod list in a flash.

Not a bad episode at all I thought. Tracey John didn't really get involved that much unless directly prompted which was a bit of a shame. Definitely think it's better to either have everyone together or all on skype/phone rather than just the one.

I quite enjoyed it. Alice did a pretty good job and I certainly found the discussions more interesting than those in the Ray podcast. I think that was down to Frank if I have my names to voices correct. I've always liked Alice so this wasn't too unexpected but you never know.

I haven't listened to the Frank podcast yet but based on this one I definitely want him involved in future podcasts.

I didn't really enjoy the Alan Wake spoiler bit at the end, mainly because I diagree with there thoughts about the plot, etc. Nothing against them really though.

This week, Alice Liang holds Frank Cifaldi, Justin Haywald, UGO's Tracey John, and you, the listener, hostage in the podcast room. The conversation starts innocently enough with this week's hot ticket news items, Red Dead Redemption, and Super Mario Galaxy 2, and then mysteriously wanders into the realm of erotic gaming. But sanity is restored with a quick chat about E3 wishes. And stick around for a bonus Alan Wake spoiler segment with 1UP's very own Alan (Johnson).
