@(Unverified) We definitely look at that stuff, and there are certainly audiences for different kinds of content. The Joystiq Podcast was great, and there was a lot of fun stuff in there, but while I can't speak for all involved, there are more stories to be told.
As news deliverers/pundits/reporters/whatever, there is a limit to what we can provide without the input from those on the many other sides of gaming.
On the flip-side, With a Q is still around. It's not really about throwing a bone to an audience who wants only zany content, we just realize that there is merit in both the fun and serious sides of gaming.
I can't justify the new format in any way that will change minds of those who don't like it, but that doesn't diminish its merit. There is no intention to talk down to anyone or alienate a given audience. If you don't like The Joystiq Show, we will have other content for you too.
If you want to talk further, Richard and I are both VERY accessible via twitter or email. That goes for anyone. :)
@(Unverified) @The Aquacharger A separate feed solution is on the docket. As always, we are open to any and all constructive criticism. If you simply don't want a more serious take on games coverage, that's what With a Q is all about. It's not weekly, but we still got your back.
I bought it. I have been really interested in OnLive and have found it to work pretty well in my limited experience. Homefront + Metro 2033 + free MicroConsole for $49.99 was enough to push me over the edge.
@TheDarkWayne There was a slight recording snafu so I had to make an edit that was a smooth as possible, though not quite perfect. Thanks for the feedback though!
