The 1up Yours show from PAX makes me sad

It's unlistenable. I can listen to it, but I don't enjoy it. I put up with it for 10 minutes then just ditched it.

I've found that listening only works well if the guy talking is a professional at doing this, like guys who do news on TV. When I see something that requires me to listen to it on Internet I usually just skip it or turn off the volume because it's more distracting than useful.

I was referring to the audio quality, not the ability of the hosts.

Yeah, ditto that. The sound quality is just too terrible.

Watch the video on Gamevideos... or rather, download the file and come back a couple hours later. The audio quality from Big Fun's shot is much better.

Last year's show was better, though. One of the audience members suggested they have a Brodeo panel next year, which would be awesome.

Although I do have a career goal, I'd probably ditch it to work at 1up.

Jeremy Parish's constant ennui gives me pause.

Jeff Green and Shawn Elliot are the only reasons I listen to GFW Radio (is it still called that? I haven't listened in a while.) Green is awesome, and that sucks for us.

While I love NIN with all my heart, what's with this quote? What is it in response to?

Arrrrrrgh! I knew that's what the "announcement" he mentioned on his twitter was going to be. RIP Brodeo...

Shawn Elliot is (was) the funniest person on 1up, bar none. His griefing stories would have me in fits. "These guys would wreck you with math."

If either of you have not downloaded that two-part best of GFW, you should get on that. I can send it to you if needed. Pure gold.
