I’m done justifying the casting process for my show to you. Conversation over.

My schizophrenic outbursts only happen on Thursdays, and sadly I recorded this on a Friday. Bad timing I guess.

Beeman: Mixmoff has talked to Scares extensively outside of the podcast, so I trust his judgement to the core that this new guy won’t completely fail us. The fun of being able to see what he can do off the cuff is a bonus as well.

Mixmoff: Play through Modern Warfare 2. The last hour of that game is… so.. amazing. I don’t even.

Like I said, you guys generally pull your podcasts out of your asses…and that’s what makes it unique and enjoyable. This guy’s audition sounded highly rehearsed and scripted…a very contrasting feel to Fall-Damage.

But who knows, he could be awesome as fuck on the show. I would just recommend a little more extensive auditioning before letting someone go onto the show >_>

I had no problem with it being scripted because it wasn’t sent in with the anticipation that it would actually run on air.

I asked for an audition clip. That’s exactly what we received.

Anyhoo, I have a comment about newguy…or rather, the guy whose…audition thing you aired. I think he was…well, I don’t wanna diss the guy ’cause he seemd pretty coo’. However, it sounded more like he wrote an essay for a class than just having casual chatter about gaming. This podcast is more like…the feel of it is like a couple friends talkin’ about games. That guy’s audition was more of a professional or…trying to be professional about it. Like I said, it sounded to me like he wrote an essay then was reading it in front of you, his classmates XD

I also felt like he was perhaps overperforming a bit…to make himself look good. Like, I don’t know…I used to write things somewhat similar to that back in high school…and when I look back on those writings I think “man what a noob I was”.

Ahem…just my two cents >.>

I personally don’t really have an opinion on MW2 currently, however…modern warfare isn’t just any shooter. The story is spectacular. But on top of that, the multiplayer is…well, cod4 is one of the best multiplayer games I’ve ever played. It is indeed still popular and, as cruz said, buy it on PC. It’s just better on PC. You get it on PC then you can play with me and cruz sometime

As far as getting emotional about games goes…it’s just like crying at a movie or laughing at a movie…only moreso because you’re the one making the events transpire in the game. At the most emotional point in any game, the reason you get emotional about it is because you develop a personal relationship with those characters. Aeris? I loved her, she kept my party alive and shit…then bam she’s gone. The game was never the same again for me. It was horrible! The climax in cod4. Jesus ass I wanted to die D:

Anyways, other than that, good show. But if you’re going to do individual intro music for each segment, then you may as well separate each segment into their own podcasts >__>
Which, I actually wouldn’t mind that since I generally only listen for crit or quit…then kinda blank out for the rest

Mix, get CoD4 on PC. Also, the online community is still going strong, and it’s one of the better multiplayer FPS games out there.

Also, I don’t see how Dragon Age is relying on the sex scenes, I have completely ignored any sort of relationship option in the game because it doesn’t interest me at all, and I can honestly say the game is still fantastic. I also don’t understand how you can put a game down for being linear. Enough JRPGs are fantastic despite the plot linearity. and Mass Effect wasn’t hurt at all for it. You get a more cinematic and focused plot out of it instead of something disjointed and short as in Fallout 3 and Oblivion.
