I'm kinda surprised Kyle's so positive about Avengers. Those character designs looked shockingly generic to me.

Man, even if conferences weren't the greatest, I can't wait for those juicy impressions. Especially in the form of spicy noodles and broth.

Not going to lie, I'm getting a bit annoyed at the Allies seemingly not even considering restarting the stream. This audio issue is going to hurt them for the Direct.

They should definitely get Ian or Damiani to swap out and try to fix it. I don't envy Jones right now but the direct itself is more important than the preshow.

Their chat can be a bit annoying with audio stuff sometimes tbh.
Screaming for something to be turned up when it's already high enough etc.

It will totally depend on your setup. If you are on phone or laptop audio, you're not going to notice it. If you have some lower-quality headphones, you might also not notice it. But it's absolutely there, sounds like low bitrate or something.
I am on earbuds and my work laptop and it definitely sounds very tin can-like. Not the end of the world, but mildly annoying.

It sounds pretty bad. Sounds like they're on low quality headsets. It's insane they're just continuing through it instead of restarting.

edit: well there we go

Among game enthusiasts, this is basically an unbearable war-crime. The hyperbole of the internet is intense.

Nah, I shut it down. I'll watch elsewhere if they can't fix it and sound like that. It was unbearable, like I would just skip the podcast if it sounded like that.

On my speakers, it sounded like a robot when Ben used an 'S' noise. The better your audio equipment, the more noticeable and annoying it was.

i don't think it's unrealistic to want normal- or high-fidelity audio, which the current stream was not. streaming is definitely hard and wonky, but low frequency (which is what it sounded like) audio does a large disservice to music and even voice clarity.

i'm an audio dork but i don't need a lot to satisfy from streaming. 128kbps aac is standard for streaming and is good enough. anything above is a bonus.

I didn't say it wasn't real or wasn't an issue. I just said the reaction by people on the internet was hyperbolic, which it was.
