I enjoyed the older version for its "rawness" factor, but I love the new more "pro" look and feel to the show. Didn't participate in live, but will surely try to in the future to support =) Again, love the pro look and feel, and the amount/length of the show and content was great, there's tons of 5 minute game reviews around, loved the meaty lengthy discussion. It ate my entire lunch hour up =) Cheers, and congrats on the "new" show =)

I used way too many smiley emotes.

I L-O-V-E the new format!
The show feels really new and refreshing... I'm so glad you guys decided to make the change.
Also really liked the old co-op theme song performed by Jonathan Mann.

Can't wait to see more live interviews and game demos being played out!

I thought the new format was pretty damn good. I had technical problems in the beginning (not sure if it was just my computer though), but other than that the show seemed to flow really well. One thing I'm hoping you guys do is get Jason, Cesar, etc. back in front of the camera from time to time. I love Fresh, Matt, and Ryan (who doesn't?), but it would be nice to mix it up here and there. I'm definitely gonna try to catch it live every week. Also, I'm not really a fan of Jonathan Mann, but that song he performed on this ep. was FI-YAH! Anyway, congrats on your first live episode.


Oh, and Matt said my name! Correctly, no less! *swoon*

Don't like it so far. Live comedy? great. Live sports? yeah!

Live talking heads? No. I'm watching three geeky guys sit on a couch and wax intellectual about a game. Intellectual is great, but not for an hour.

How about having grudge matches? have 1 v 1 in a game they're reviewing. but then, few games are short enough to fit in an hour segment. Maybe have two different games being played concurrently live, and then cut in to them with a roving host. That sounds more interesting.

Live has to be live. Video games are something that is done mostly alone. It's doable I think, but it's a lot tougher than sports or awards shows.

+10 for the show guys, is not easy to shoot live, and the sync was great, the old format was great but this new has a lot to progress and i look forward to it.

keep it up!

Great job guys! I was surprised I liked the new format. I'm sure some of the kinks will get better over time, but for a first shot at it, rock on! Keep up the great work!

Perhaps - but you can understand why they would dedicate so much time to it - google metacritic Mass Effect 2 reviews!

Loved the first episode in the live format. Honestly I think that this was your best episode of Co-Op. Good discussion, and in the end that is what brought me over from the end of the 1Up Show to Co-Op, to Live. It's great that this format lets you keep the quality up whilst leaving you more time to do more shows and more segments. On that here are some suggestions for segments:

• Broken Pixels like Segment - Maybe as more of a snack, but I miss Broken Pixels. I mean imagine a panel of Karen Chu, Sheanbaby, Ryan, and Shane (Or Jay Fresh).

Ok, that's all, well at least until you have some more projects. Thank you for putting my worries about Live to rest.

EDIT- Addendum to list, you need to get Crispin on sometime for this, alongside Karen.
