I'll keep pushing this every time the topic comes up:

:D

One of my earliest memories was watching my father beat Super Mario Bros. and seeing the New Game + (before that term was coined) version where all of the Goombas were replaced with Buzzy Beetles.

... and now we play the waiting game.

This is clearly a game made for me.

What little seems to be relatively agreed upon is that some of the parts where all of the guys seem bored can drag on a bit too long before someone steps up to put a stop to them. Clearly, the format can produce some amazing moments like the Gang Beasts segment. So, I wouldn't suggest to stop doing it this way. They just need to be a bit more vocal when something clearly isn't working. If Jeff (or anyone else) sighs and stares at the camera with that "are you as bored as I am?" look on his face, the answer is probably a yes... and it might be better to instead ask if the presenter is leading up to some kind of payoff or if it's time to move on.

I think those slow parts were the times when Ryan's sense of showmanship and pacing was the most beneficial. His readiness to play the lovable asshole helped, as well. Jeff seems somewhat more reticent about telling people that their segment is not working and they should move on to something else, which is a bit odd because he's very candid about telling them that the game is a steaming pile of dog shit. That would be fine, but no one else steps up to the plate to do it either. Giant Bomb is still a threat, but there was a hole left by our Dear Leader that still hasn't been filled.

Vinny should modify some more of those easy buttons from the charity show. Give one to each person. Then, write a simple program which plays a buzzer sound when there is a unanimous (not including the presenter) vote to move on. I can just imagine Brad yelling "OH COME ON" when the buzzer goes off.

The new voice is definitely more appropriate for her and I might like it more if I had experienced that version first, but I will miss a lot of things about the old Chie. There's obviously the weird "Aha. Is this our chance?" line that's so bad it's good, but the little yells she always made in combat were perfect.

If you're talking about some kind of generic English accent ("BBC English" or "Received Pronunciation")... I can see that. Otherwise, there are some regional English accents which can have the opposite effect when coming from women.

EDIT: I think that's probably the way a lot of this works. I tend to like the "proper" accents from areas rather than the mangled regional versions.

I think he had it in her.

If you don't have a Vita to play Persona 4 Golden, this is the next best way to play Persona 4.
