Not too shabby. Got a kick out of the old school video game references. My favorite part was when you'd do those ridiculous fake English/Scottish accents! Total win!
Wait...those were fake, right?

This was a lot of fun, sir. I see I have a long way to go to up my game to these standards. Maybe we can do a cross-over sometime.

Standards? What standards? I thought I was lowering the bar you set, not raising it...
A cross over between Al Laimen and Menace would be like a cross over between Pheonix Wright and Professor Layton - it looks like they are a brilliant match on first glance, it doesn't make a lot of sense when you actually think about it... But it still gets made anyway! Let's do it! Maybe for the PPV?

That's awesome, seriously. Very entertaining and a smooth delivery. Al Laiman working with Menace would kick five different kinds of ass, minimum.

I quite enjoyed this. Although some of the jokes caused me to groan, lol. But regardless, very good job.

I thought the opening song lasted a little too long. After 45 seconds, I fast-forwarded the song until I heard speech. Also, and this is my wife's criticism, when the music changes to the interactive challenge portion, it's a bit louder than the rest- we had our volume at a decent level while listening, but when that came on, she immediately said, "too loud."
I also wasn't the biggest fan of ALWAYS messing up the names of the wrestlers, because I found myself thinking, "wait, who is he talking about again?" But that's a very minor criticism.
She also said your accent is annoying, but that's because she's Australian and thinks Australian Accents > British Accents. She probably feels that way because she gets confused with being from England all the time. Heh.
Other than the above, I thought it was a great first episode. I enjoyed the randomness, and I definitely didn't think it was scripted. Nope, not at all. I loved the video game sound bytes as well. Good job, man. Looking forward to hearing future editions.

Oh, and I should also make mention that my wife, who has limited knowledge on efedding as a whole, said you were very entertaining and she enjoyed the randomness of it all. That's a good review.
But she DID want me to make sure I told you sound like, "Wallace" from Wallace and Gromit.

opening song - yeah, a little long... I actually took the sample i made for the old Audio RP's i made years ago - it contains 1 verse and 1 chorus and lasts, at 1 minute 20 seconds, about the lenth of time i'd imagin the 2Guy's would take for thier entrance (baring in mind they did always strike stupid poses on the way to the ring)... i'll see what i can do about cutting it down, but i dont want it to just randomly fade - most wrestlers entrances (i've noticed) fade/end at a decent point in the entrance music and that's something i'm trying to mimic...
you've got an awesome point on the Pac in and Pac out soundbytes. Because of the program i use, i've always had problems with the volume of the recording, so i have to crank it up using an effect but not so much as thier is a ton of static in the background... the pac-man stuff however is a copy of a direct audio file - as such its not been audio filtered at all... and obviously at a different volume rate. i will TRY to alter it and drop it a bit, but i make no promises and i appoloise to your wife's ears (and anybody elses) if i fail to acchieve this feet.
Accents - i hate how everybody mocks/insults my voice... espeically since even i think it sounds wierd on audio. your wife is probably right though, australian accents are better than english ones, and if its any consolation - my voice has been mistaken for australian by some americans... no that's probably no consolation at all is it?
I sound like Wallace? as long as sound like a 'Young' Wallace i dont mind so much, although i am from further south than Wallace and use none of those local coloquialism's he uses...
Right - wrestlers names. I aggree with you on the whole 'all different names' thing, it annoyes me from this side having to think up names for people you've never mentioned before. However, it is in the 2Guys characters to change peoples names if it helped further a joke or led into a parody, which happens most of the time... Jade manages to escape because of the obvious mortal kombat reference, skylar marshal avoids it because he pays them money... but i'm just trying to keep in with how the 2Guys would act if i still was RPing with them
On the plus side, most of the names wont be changing from the ones i used in that one, mainly because i'm lazy. so hopefully you'll be able to keep up from show to show. I understand that, while Laiman's recaps can be veiwed by anyone outside the fed and have them understand everything that's going on, mine cant do that because the 2guys always change any facts to suit thier own reality (they did deny a tag team championship run ever happened). Hopefully i can find an audiance of handelers around here who apreciate the warped reality i'll be presenting... otherwise i'll find some other way to change the format while still keeping the stupidity
This isnt so much a rebuttle or defense of all your usefull constructive critisim, more a 'yeah, your totally right'
Also, i see a lot of people mention that they like how this isnt scripted... i cant tell if your being sarcastic or not but the truth is - well i'll never tell!

In regards to accents, sometimes I forget that we're scattered all over the western hemisphere. That's pretty cool.

I was just ribbin' ya about your accent, just so you know. I actually find English accents to be easy on the ears. That's probably why I like Guy Ritchie movies so much.

Someone with an excellent accent referencing the Konami Code? Pinch me, I must be dreaming...
OW NOT SO HARD!
Quite, quite good. I understand the whole thing with different names for people, it was confusing after a while, though I totally approved of your choice for The Kumquat Kid.
Keep up the good work.
