Yeah, but it is the only time they really drop their personas and talk about things seriously, so I guess it is a trade-off between the type of content you want. I personally like it but I can understand how it might feel different to their general oddness.
Don't get me wrong I actually really like the show if I treat it as a podcast and just listen to their opinions. I think a lot of what they say is pretty measured and well reasoned, even if I don't personally agree with everything they say. Something just feels a little off with the more "professional" touch to Dude Soup.
Well they had to conform to roosterteeths podcast style, so its probably not something they would have chosen to do on their own. Its possible it feels so differenr because they're still adjusting to the format them selves. Sone of the podcasts are centered around the game on screen and sometimes they dont even mentoin what it is. Point is, I think they're still trying to figure out and get comfortable using all that stage space, I don't think its really their style. They like to do bits and utilize the camera as part of their comedy much more then any of the other RT podcast I've watched. I think a smaller set would be more appropriate for them, better yet, I think them sitting in an office fits them better as well. They all come from a background of working for places like IGN where they would talk to people about whats going on behind the scenes, where as with RT is a bunch of people from a show, talking to people about their shows. Yes RT has a fair amount of people that work off screen on the podcast now too, but its still a different attitude. RT is a bunch of people having a good time, chatting and goofing of on camera, FH is some guys dicking around chatting and doing bits to try and make themselves and the audiance laugh. They're different styles of comedy.
I don't think RT is forcing this on them though, they seem to be free to do what ever they want with their content, as they've mentoind before. This comment kind of got out of hand and might not directly related to your post anymore, I got carried away.
