I'm a listener of pretty much every WoWradio show and I find myself skipping like 5 minutes of every podcast to avoid hearing the host's "spiel" (IRC info, etc). I guess you have to take into consideration that there are always new listeners who didnt hear it yet but for most reguulars it's pretty annoying yeah ;)fonebookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14670750985463826133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887796962866801986.post-42299558734409051522009-03-21T07:17:00.000-04:002009-03-21T07:17:00.000-04:00In my opinion the humor on CH is very much love-or...In my opinion the humor on CH is very much love-or hate. Either you laugh along or you roll your eyes. I think that four hosts is a bit too much, and I enjoyed it quite a bit more when there were only 3.<BR/><BR/>That said, I do enjoy CH on a weekly basis =)Pikseletatenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07036427654331746246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887796962866801986.post-56974790144605088092009-03-18T21:24:00.000-04:002009-03-18T21:24:00.000-04:00crashedyellow I think you're going a little far ab...crashedyellow I think you're going a little far about Gwen and Io. <BR/><BR/>Something I failed to mention (and maybe Jim you can add this) is that Casually Hardcore is the sort of show where once you build a "relationship," (eg. you've listened to three or four shows) all of the faults basically vanish and you enjoy the show for what it is. I tried to review it as someone coming in having never heard it before. Maybe I was the wrong person for this. If Pete had drawn this show you would have seen a love sonnet devoted to them (seriously).Toothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00623737574435031112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887796962866801986.post-48323736612937243702009-03-18T20:04:00.000-04:002009-03-18T20:04:00.000-04:00One thing to remember is that we like all of these...One thing to remember is that we like all of these shows or else we wouldn't listen at all. The critiques are meant to just be one-offs on one episode so I hope everyone gives Casually Hardcore (and all of the shows we write about) a good long listen to judge for themselves. If you asked the five of us we'd all have different opinions on this episode.Jim Surgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455455691261472689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887796962866801986.post-4359487240450728502009-03-18T19:55:00.000-04:002009-03-18T19:55:00.000-04:00I really do look forward to listening to Casually ...I really do look forward to listening to Casually Hardcore every week. However, both Gwen and Io often detract from the overall quality. Io's constant giggles about something going on in-game and her reading off an endless list of names during the shout out section... ugh. I was pleased to hear someone (Gnomewise?) mutter in the background "just names" when she was reading them off this week. I swear that cut the shout outs down to half.<BR/><BR/>I actually like the theme song, and I agree with Toothy that CH has some of the best use of drops in the WoW podcast community.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887796962866801986.post-9560485171340702242009-03-18T16:21:00.000-04:002009-03-18T16:21:00.000-04:00Good review Toothy and fairly good summation of wh...Good review Toothy and fairly good summation of what Casually Hardcore is typically about.<BR/><BR/>I have to agree with you about the beginning of the show; it's always bothered me. Not only the content but also the noticeable drop in sound quality compared to the rest of the show. The song "Who Needs Sleep" sounds like it was recorded on an audio cassette player held up to a TV 11 years ago. (you remember? like how you used to grab songs when you were a kid? LOL)Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17167552349186264480noreply@blogger.com
