Running everything on the lowest possible settings. After this patch i could finish the singleplayer campaign atleast. Tried my luck at multiplayer and experienced horrible fps with same settings. 
 
I really hope they do fix this before people start to lose interest and label it "that broken game" to their other friends.

Going live RIGHT NOW, feedback will be appriciated :)
 
 Edit: Show is over for this week, but the podcast is already up! Go to the show's blog and download it from there(until the archive section is up and running). 
Give it a listen and let us know what you think :)
 
 
Also! If you want to try hosting your own show or just playing some music LIVE, then head on over to TrollRadio.com and contact us!

Thought i would real-talk abit about a project me and a bro are up to these days: TrollRadio.com.
 
TrollRadio is an internet radio station, running 24/7, with various hosts and DJs playing all kinds of music. All of them gamers.
 
Me and this dude called "Gongon" are hosting this show called Voice of Crom there, live every Monday at 12 AM EST(5 PM GMT) and re-runs on wednesdays and saturdays. Also available for podcast download. We pretty much just try to fill the eAirwaves with game-inspired chatter with music in-between, to entertain and possibly even inform people about junk and stuff. Mostly junk.
 
What I would like with this post (besides blatant advertising) is to gather feedback from GiantBombers who are no doubt tuned into what a good gaming podcast is all about(Giant BombCast, duh). We really enjoy doing this and would appreciate any suggestions and tips to help us become better at it. 
 
Thanks for reading this!
 

 PS: Live show today! About 4h 30m from the time of this posting!

Before Giantbomb's Kinect liveshow I had a picture of it being like a fun wii-like accessory, except YOU ARE THE CONTROLLER/TOOL. With the added bonus of the xbox itself then it seemed like a pretty solid package, "normal" gaming aswell as "hello batman"-ing.
 
The liveshow however made me see what I was truly in for: Unresponsiveness in even the best of conditions(green screen, plenty of light and space) and waggle-based games. Some of this could be excused by the simple fact that "Hey, this thing just got released. Theres plenty of other games coming.", but after having seen a consistent design descision throughout the games I fear that this is just the nature of Kinect. 
 
Its not all bad though, I definately saw the highlights of this accessory with the fitness games(especailly fitness evolved). This seems like something right up Kinects's alley: Not focusing on detailed capturing of hands/feet but the overall movement and placement of your entire body. We all saw that it works fine, at launch. I feel its very important to stress that this is still very early and for it to work as well as it does(granted, in near-optimal conditions) is very impressive. 
 
So where does Kinect go from here? 
 Keep pushing out waggle-games until something sticks? Focus on fitness programs? How many workout "games" do you even NEED?
 
 
We are definately in an interesting time right now. We are right in the middle of either a success or flop that will be noted down in the chronicles of history, just like the console/platform battles of yore. Only question is: Will Kinect be the innovator or the booger on face of Microsoft?

Got into this only a few days ago, I have not played the other Final Fantasy Online so i went into this fresh. 
 
There were several things that were very interesting for me, like the mission system and cut-scenes with your dude/cat in them, so this was a very different and thus an intrigueing experience. I can understand why some get frustrated with the menu system(one-click-too-many-syndrome) but i found it easy enough to navigate, it just slows down the pace alot.
 
What really kills the deal for me is the response-lag. I activate a skill, two seconds later it MAY give me some form of feedback on "oh, yeah you totally activated that skill bro. Right on.". Coming directly from WoW(or even LotrO and frikkin Warhammer for that matter) this is VERY game-breaking for me. The combat in Final Fantasy games can be slow, but atleast your selections should happen instantly and thus your overall battle/crafting-Speed should also happen fast, this is how you can become a good player of this game, but executing the right commands fast. I find myself trying to figure out what commands have gotten through to the server and when so that i can execute my next command to not waste any time, this gives me headaches.
 
So yes, tl;dr: They need to fix lag, really badly. Also more quests i suppose, but im pretty new to the game so there may be a boatload of them just around the corner for all i know. 
 
But hey, im into it. Ill stick around atleast until this big December version update, as they call it.
