Cool, a TV-Magazine style feature. I made a lot of these in High School. Brings back memories.
Here's my thoughts:
- Host isn't half bad, generally not a bore to look at. Transitions could use a little more work. (there were none.)
- The news portion for each game was attention keeping. I especially liked the Dragon Nest coverage.
- The little 'skits' they had here and there (mainly Combat Arms) were a bit boring.
- The Shakespeare feature in Mabinogi all of a sudden made me interested again.
- Testers... Like "The Tester"? The Reality show shown exclusively on Playstation Network? Oh, Sorry, they sounded alike. I enjoyed the auditions for testers, but, the... what appears to be the main character in the 'premier' was a bit slower paced than the rest of the show, which made transitioning into it awkward. I do have to say, the talents in this we're much more enjoyable then those from the other skits. Perhaps the slow pace was necessary for the person they focused on, in that particular scene, but it was just set up pretty bad. A bad buildup to a bad punchline.
- Speaking of slow paced, I felt the animation was the same, but the incredible job done on the animation made up for it.
- Raves and rants... some guy read a line on the forums, the host makes guesses as to what the guy was talking about, and then....nothing really gets explained. I didn't like the segment.
- Audios good, framings good, but stuff like that, I'd expect to go pretty well.
- I honestly skipped through the puppet show. By this time, I was just trying to redeem any time as to not waste a complete 30 minutes of my life. I may go back and watch it later.
- A word with the chief: HA! the staff at Nexon DO play their own games!
- It surprised me that every other game got a larger segment then Maplestory (in all serious news), being their flagship game.
- Can't wait for Dragon Nest!
