8-4 Play: 6/12/2015: LOCO MOTIVES

It’s that time of year again. We go over what we know, what we don’t know, and what we think we know about this year’s E3, so come on board the E3 HYPE TRAINNNN!

Every other week, tune into 8-4 Play for talk about video games, Japan, and Japanese video games, straight from the 8-4 offices in beautiful downtown Tokyo. Hosted by 1UP Japan's own Mark MacDonald, John Ricciardi, and Hiroko Minamoto.

WARNING!

Do not listen to this on headphones, earplugs or on speakers at close to approaching the volume that somebody might have a chance of hearing outside of your room,

the many many musical interludes ARE LOUD AS A MOTHERFUCKER compared to the voices

:(

If your ears are healthy, here is a fixed version >>

You people need to keep your headphone volume down a bit. I didn't really have a problem with the sound.

I honestly don't think the music is loud enough! Needs more hype.

It's not rocket science. Was the mixing person in a horrible stressed out rush to pack up and get on a plane? Because arriving sweaty at the terminal and this being the best they could do would be a perfectly acceptable excuse. Also acceptable if someone was doing this for their first time, was told to add the bits here and there, because this is something that happens as a beginner mistake. The reason people aren't mention this in the neogaf thread is because they love you folks at 8-4 so much that they don't deliver anything but showering you in warm salty gooey whiteish liquids, and diet pepsi.

(And in come the zealots defending this failure of a mixing. Enjoy going deaf.)

I listened to the whole thing on headphones at a decent volume and found it fine, the music cutting in is supposed to be loud guys. It's the hype train!!!

BTW Great episode and Congrats Hiroko

Personally, listening with the voices at a comfortable volume in my work environment made the difference in the music cues brutal.

I have to convert this to MP3 anyway to put it on my MP3 player, so I decided to use the Audacity leveller to reduce the music volume. It's not as good as individually reducing the volume of each music segment, but I'm lazy, so here you go.

Here's a version with the music volume reduced.

Yeah, didn't have any problems with it either.

But apparently that makes me a "zealot", so who knows.

Had to turn this one off. Normally an enjoyable podcast but my god do they have any idea how annoying that sample got? It was way way way overdone, to say nothing of the huge volume spikes.

This is my suggestion for every episode with all the chewing into the mics and Mark's constant tongue sucking.

But that's what I come here for...

Damn it's taking forever for that hype train to get to me. Maybe it's just one of those years where I'm less excited for E3.

What kind of monster entertains the notion of a Doom "open world survival persistent world online" game? I couldn't tell if that part was a joke or not because they sounded so sincere...

Audio mix was borderline deafening. Was expecting blood to come out of my ears at some point.

Great show though!
