"This week we talk about the Grand Theft Auto IV delay--why, how, when, and what it means for you. We also get Lorne Lanning of Oddworld Inhabitants on the phone to talk about Hollywood and gaming--whether it's about Steven Spielberg making games, bad voice acting, or his new project (Citizen Siege), he's got opinions, and he's not afraid to share them! We also cover the week's (very few) new releases, including Boogie on Wii and Marathon: Durandal on Xbox Live Arcade. And we read your hardcore gaming essays, along with a new Question of the Week (beware: if you're planning to see the movie, The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, which you should be, the QOTW segment contains a very minor spoiler about a little old lady who loved Q-Bert.)"

We have to synergize the synergistic synergy of these synergistic mediums through really great synergy that will synergize some cash flow that will allow for me to synergize my dick with your mouth.

































SYNERGY!!!!

Im guessing next week is when they get the Factor 5 prez on to talk about their review.

I hope they don't do what they did in the review and make themselves look retarded by asking stupid questions and just being rude.
 
It was nice to have an alpha mom's opinion on stuff like Boogie. Great rant, Jenn!

EDIT: This show still has a pathetic problem with everyone talking at the same time, especially in the last segment. OMG, learn how to shut your traps when others are talking.
 
The Lorne Lanning interview is very interesting, and I agree with him about how he's skeptical of whether these directors can actually make games. I hope his project works out for him, but I remain extremely skeptical about any movie/videogame combinations. The two medias have two different aims. Movies aim to make a great story and games aim to be fun. There is a huge amount of evidence that trying to balance both usually ends up in failure in one category.

The cause?

Not enough synergy.
 
Is the audio quality on this still way below 1up yours' audio quality. I dont understand the gap, you think they would have the same facilities available to each other. Maybe Garnett is cockblocking them.
 
Listening for Lanning.

Must be post production, even Yours sounds bad when editting is rushed.

Is it Jenn Frank or Jen Tsao in this podcast?

It's normally Tsao, so don't get my hopes up guys

both, Jenn Frank is there for the review section which takes up the most time, Tsao is there for intro and question of the week.
 
Calling all aspiring DJs and YarisHeads, you think you got the Yaris? Then yaris out Yaris vs Yaris for the Yaris vs Yaris live yaris yaris. Like this yaris, this yaris is sponsored by yaris.
 
What the **** is yarez anyway? Don't you think it's kind of stupid to have a radio ad for something 90% of people listening won't know how to spell?

I hate that too, especially when he says "got the skillzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" DIE. What the hell is a sneaker-head anyway? :lol

Money = more enthusiasm from editors which mean better people get involved, then better gear and eventually more fans which mean more demand then more shows.

Simple:D

I always think it's for some kind of pirating-contest. Yarrrr.
 
The way the guy voices that yaris ad is ridiculous. He's just too cool. I don't even understand what the **** he's talking about.."you think ya got the skillz!" Why are they advertising cars on a video game podcast? Are we going to get ads for real estate next? I would like to see a fight to the death between the yaris guy and the chick that does the vista podcast ads, the winner has to fight a yaris.
 
Christ. Could someone tell Jennifer, Michael and the other guy (who are talking at the end of the show about Billy Mitchell) to STOP SHOUTING INTO THE MICROPHONES EVERY 8 SECONDS!!! Hey, lets talk real quiet like, and then yell!

:D

Seriously. Is there any post production work done to normalize the sound levels on this show? I'm about to drop this thing because it keeps happening and I'm reaching KAAAAAAAAAAHN levels of instanity here.

Jenn Frank= MILF
She is married and has kids? Jenn Tsao does for sure, I started listening around the time she came back from maternity leave. Not a MILF though, but that is for another discussion.

I'd rather have him than the British guy that talks about the "Baddest gaming tournament".
 
I do not like the variable audio quality between the different segments. =( Are they recorded in different areas with different equipment?

Yeah, the interview with Lorne Lanning sounds like they put Crispin and a mic in the same room (with unfortunate reverb no less), then called up Lanning and put him on speaker phone.

But the interview itself was really good.
