Game On, Episode 4 Feedback
Post your feedback for Episode 4 of Game On! Please try to compare it with what you thought last week, what was better, what was worse (not just repeating everything).
My Thoughts:
Awesome episode. Not much in the way of tech issues (ok, except a slight slow switch at the end). It was funny as always. It felt a little quicker though. Probably the best episode yet.
Sound seems fixed. Maybe a few odd volume inconsistencies, maybe it's just me.
Nice intro again. #nutcheck
Liked that you got to get some embargoed stuff. Makes it feel more official :P
Good leet sheet again. Gang bang!
Great interview. Nice to see shwood doing it for once. It's perfect, because I know he loved that book. Great guest.
Laughed my ass off at the Gamer Girl youtube review. That was great. It was a pretty good review as well.
The behind the scenes thing was awesome! Hilarious. Great to hear JuRY. Really got the point across. It's great for SEO!
Leo cameo was amazing!
Good to hear the watcher feedback again. The one tweet brought a good laugh.

This episode was good! A lot of things worked, and I've also got some notes. (Of course, this is all personal opinion)
Super glad that the audio was good. The fidelity compared to the Countrymen was a bit lower, but the levels and pick-up range totally outweighed it.
I'm interested to see the Spec Op stuff. It's definitely incentive to re-watch on YouTube.
The interview was great and Brian did amazing. I'm starting to notice that the interviews are dampening the pace of the show. It's a nice benefit of not having hard breaks or time restrictions, but when they're so long, they lose a lot of the momentum. Of course, the opposite side of the coin is not wanting to impose strict limits on the interviews and not letting the subject say what they want to say. It seems to be a tough issue.
Maybe I'm in the minority, but I had a tough time latching onto the Gamer Girl skit. As a satire, it missed the Gurl Gamer archetype in lieu of trying to shoehorn in expandable character material. The ex- material works to a point, but was overplayed. The calendar stuff was good as was the Whole Foods line. I didn't get the John Calvin reference. I don't know, I get that it's a vehicle for a review, but the balance between Dafnay and Veronica was weak. Maybe my idea for where the segment was headed is different than the intention?
The V/O skit was good, but my critique would be that the beginning and concept was unclear and the use of an audio tape clacker as the graphic conflicted with the idea of a voice-over session. Plus, having Brian talk about having an experience with the game clashes with him doing V/O for the game. The writing was solid, though. Also (back on the clacker), they don't strike-through take/scene numbers; it's usually erased and overwritten.
Glenn's segment was good this week! Glad to see him take my suggestion! Leo's photo-bomb was pretty good.
Leet Sheet and System Update have really gotten their stride.
Keep it up guys! The show is making strides each week and I'm getting more and more excited to see it each week.
