I'm a mature professional guy who has been gaming and listening to yours and other podcasts since the very beginning. I rarely comment on any website (not my style) but I feel I just have to add my opinion.

Over the years many have come and gone but Joystiq has long remained one of my 3 or 4 'go to' gaming podcasts (Cagcast, the old 1Up Yours now 'evolved' into Weekend Confirmed and Gamers with Jobs being the others). I would constantly check my itunes in anticipation of the latest episode and the ensuing couple of hours of light hearted banter with a gaming slant.

I'm sorry guys, for me anyway its just not working. I hate to say it and I am certainly no 'stick-in-the-mud' but I truly miss the old format. Frankly the new show is just so dry, dreary, boring, and entirely un-entertaining. Sadly its actually almost unlistenable imo.

I imagine its of little concern to you but I will be unsubscribing on itunes. And I hope others do the same as a way to send a message. I will keep an eye on the website in the hope that either the old format makes a return in some fashion or you find a way for a re-reboot but this time without losing the frivolity that is so sadly absent. In the meantime I will be renaming it the Dullstiq Podcast.

Anyway I like you guys and hope that ultimately it all works out for the Joystiq Podcast.

I turned off the auto aim in GTA4 after my first gunfight.

I think its a much better game with the snap aim turned off. Just feels more fluid and involving and less 'game like'. however its much harder especially in the larger gun battles and it does show up the less than stellar mechanics.

Still IMO its the only way to play it.
