Really? Everytime Shoe is on a show it's all like "HALO3 HALO3 HALO3" and recently now that HALO3 isn't "cool" anymore, it's all about COD4. Not that I have anything against HALO3 since I still think it's the best game on the xbox360, but as a Resistance player I'm not sure how someone who's never been interested in Resistance is relevant to my tiny little world since I really only listen to the podcast to get some news on games Insomniac makes and not listen to some ex-1UP personality, present company excepted of course.
If I want to listen to EGM people, I would tune into the EGM podcast which I don't. It would be great if we get someone who actually plays Resistance regularly, it's just a matter of relevance for me. I can't speak for the others but I like Insomniac because of their games, not because Ted is a great guy which I'm sure he is, if your games are great I'll keep buying them and supporting them, and I'll keep recommending them to everyone, like we've been doing with Resistance and how I've been doing with Uncharted, because I'm passionate about great games and not because I'm a fan of gaming media personalities, the games will always be most important because that's what I play and I'm sure to you they're something that the team has put a ton of hard work into, a lot of blood, sweat and tears goes into them and people buying them and going like "hey they're so good I'll fucking buy them twice" is more important than "I like listening to so-and-so because I'm such a big fan".
