You should know that IGN values personality over writing skills in its editorial staff. They are an entertainment site covering (mostly) electronic entertainment. If they are not having fun they are not fun to read.
I do think that many of the contributors here take this far too seriously. Everyone is aiming for professionalism over personality and it has made this site hard to come to. The only person who has ever made me LOL here is Mike M. (although Alex Cronk-Young has made me smile).
Are we afraid to be ourselves? Are we over thinking this? Is this a site only for gaming snobs?"

I think of MW2 as the trend setting aunt that married into the family at 20 and kept getting hotter. She is getting closer to her 30s and looking like she could go crazy in the near future but is holding it together. No matter what you think she will always be fun in the sack.
Good job."
2.What's your least-favorite aspect of the Mobcast? I can't always differentiate Brett and Damien’s voices. I would like the group to add more humor. An oddball contributor would be great.
3.How long should the ideal podcast be? Roughly 1.5 hrs.
4.Do you enjoy a more-consistent group of guests, or do you like variety? A more consistent group would be better. 3 regulars minimum. Guest are OK but usually don’t have chemistry.
5.Do you enjoy the "Four gamers, four topics" format? Would you tweak that at all? 4 gamers 4 topics is good but I would do a letters segment involve the community.
6. If you were in charge of the Mobcast, what changes (if any), would you make?
- The show could use a smart, oddball, funny guy (Anthony Gallegos type). The site as a whole is missing quality gaming humor. They don’t need to be lowbrow. I would not put the community on air with very few exceptions.
- Topics always seem to come back to retro-games. I would try to avoid it in all but one topic.
- I would add a woman with an engaging sense of humor and can be one of the guys. Like Tina Sanchez, Karen Chu, Jessica Chobot, Jasmine. I don’t think Raychul was a very good fit. (I like her but not on the mobcast)
- Try new elements/segments. See what sticks. Shows should evolve, don’t let the Mobcast stagnate.
- Give a theme for the show and ask the community for related question/topic. <"
You are correct when you say that they should be more free flowing but I think this can be accomplished within thier show perameters. This free flow allows the guests to find areas of dialogue that they excel at and breeds new segments. I too have more to say but most of it is already in a new article I am working on. Good post but the title is shocking and extremely misleading."
Bitmob has turned into Gamesnob: The website for taking gaming too seriously.
The site is less for gamers than it is for "hardcore" gamers trying to get into game journalism. Rarely is anyone funny or politically incorrect in their stance. I feel like this site is dying slowly. No one follows sports and few follow shooters."
