Weekend Confirmed Pax Live Show - Featuring Luke Andrew Shane John Billy & Jeff Green
- Thread starter snoopeasystreet
- Start date
Panels very rarely make for good podcasts. There's always very little direction, it's rather awkward for awhile, they are feeding off the live audience and the live audience is feeding off them but the listener gets none of that. I've never enjoyed the giant bomb ones either. I'll try the tested though.

Sounds like another chart toppermik said:
I really wish there was a way to do a big reunion in the studios one time like 1UP Yours did on the last episode when Garnett left. Jeff Green made a good point when they were beginning to talk about MMOs and their reviews. A lot of the discussions that they were having were not appropriate for the time constraints. I felt that a lot of there wasn't enough time for people to comment, dissent, and explain their positions.

Yeah, after reading some more thoughts on the episode it was a time issue. Too many people and not enough time. If you had the regular panel of Jeff, Garnett, and Xav, it may have worked out a lot better. Not that I don't like the OG's, it was just too many people trying to fit there opinions in on game after game.
Live shows for podcasts are usually brutal anyways, they just don't translate well for whatever reason.

I know there is a hatred of podcast done via skype, but really thats the best bet for these shows due to everyone being in different locations. If each person records their audio locally then sends them and has 1 person edit them together (del rio is perfectly capable of this) there is near zero difference in audio quality
say they had 2 reunion shows a year that were 2.5-3 hours long twice a year, seems like the best option to me

Crowd was annoying as shit.
Xav was awesome to get that $7,000 PC dig in on John.
Cannata (besides garnett) seemed like the only one that wanted to be there. Very good energy from him.
All in all, too short and very little energy.

Okay show. Shame it was an hour and that they spent half of it answering the same questions that always get asked at these things (playing for work vs playing for fun!)
Totally Rad Show had a pretty good PAX round up with Garnett, Shane, Billy and one more person I can't remember
This week should be a good episode. Garnett seems high on resistance. I wonder if Spicer will be on this week since he was looking forward to it.

I agree it was bullshit. I still care about review scores and I listen to podcasts and still actually read reviews.
Different strokes for different folks. I could not care less about review scores. I'd much rather read a description of somebody's experience (like here on GAF) or listen to a podcast or talk to friends. Review scores are shady as shit anyway. Half of them seem bought and the other half don't match what is said in the text.
Anyway, the show needed more than just 56 minutes to do its thing. Between this and the Giant Bomb panel being shortened, I'm thinking PAX needs to get its shit together and recognize what big deals these panels are. Give them the rooms for 2 hours each, or more if they want. I went to PAX 09 and a big part of my decision to go was the GFW Reunion. I'd hate to have gone all the way out there only to have somebody in the PAX crew tell the Brodeo they gotta clear the room sooner than expected for the I Can Haz Cheezburger panel or whatever.

Yes it was. Jeff Green said he kind of liked Night Trap. It actually didn't get recorded at all. Someone in the crowd recorded it though and they are trying to clean that recording up and might release it.
