dear god this is one of the worst podcasts i have ever listened too.
It certainly did not "age" well, considering all the new info that just came out, but hey, that's life, and that's what happens when you have to pre-record. They are still inventing this podcast, pretty much, give them some time to find their groove.
After all the announcements, really they only had two good bits of info left: I liked the brief discussion of the controller, was assured about the fact that neither they, nor the two guys from Gamespot's video show agreed with the IGN UK's scathing review of what they called the "cheap feeling" controller, especially the part where they hated on the triggers. I can put up with a controller that feels a little light, not bad triggers. I'd prefer they'd stick to buttons rather than f-ed up triggers.
Thank goodness that whole issue turned out to be a matter of opinion that seems unique that IGN UK reviewer, and not a concensus.
I'm also interested in the fact that so many reviewers seem to have interest in the new Tony Hawk game. I'm certainly going to be cautious and rent it first, but this might be the first one I buy in a long time. Never expected that...at all.
I don't like the "OK, lets talk about Lost now for 12 minutes," give-up at the end of the show, but the show is basically like a blog, and should allow them to show their personalities beyond gaming, and they do warn you, and basically sign off before they start in on it, so I don't mind. When they start talking about it, I just hit "stop."
The show is getting better with time though, and I'm sorry for even having to mention this, but at least there's no Dana cross-talking over everyone, derailing the show by thinking she's funnier than she actually is, and basically adding nothing. If you thought this recent podcast was bad...whoah. Trust me, you would have pulled your own head off rather than listen to one of those cluster****s.
