Well . . . (and Lasse if you read this don't take this the wrong way) I felt his whole "vibe", if you will, was a counter to that of the other RFN-ers. But this may have been because it was his first time and/or because he was tired. As a whole he was far more monotone than the others and and came off as being very deadpan to me.
I'm being perfectly honest here when I say I kinda zoned out when he started talking for long periods of time about the GDC. Where as the other segments, I didn't have a problem staying focused on what was being discussed as it had a pretty nice flow to it (while also being pretty upbeat as RFN usually is).
I'm really trying my best not to sound like an ass but I'm trying to give honest feedback about it so please don't hate me.
I do think hearing from others is good though, especially other correspondents from various places in the world and I would like to hear Lasse again giving it another go and maybe being more awake to see how it goes.
It should be worth noting I did listen to the show twice and it was the first time I listened to the podcast while at work as opposed to home so there were many entertaining parts to it but yeah Lasse maybe just needs a little more practice to really fit in as a RFN commentator.
PS - Can you guys PLEASE do an audio level check between the musical segments (intro song and break music)? I always thought "maybe it's just my computer" but no, on my iPod as well there is a MASSIVE difference in volume between the spoken dialogue and the music with the music usually being far louder than you're voices.
