The LoadingReadyRun crew do videos semi-professionally. I assure you, they have good quality microphones that cost FAR more than $30, and they know how to use them. I didn't hear any sound issues at all.
I have been looking forward to the return of LRR's game-news segment, and am delighted that it has found its way onto PATV. I was laughing pretty hard at Paul's bit.
Love Pokemon? Going to PAX Prime/East/Aus/South? Challenge the PAX Pokemon League!!!
Must be your computer, the sound quality seems perfectly excellent for me. Get better speakers then come back, little boy.
Sidenote; the Season 1 Child's Play part 2 episode of PATV had really weak sound too.

My speakers are excellent, if you can't hear the problems then I'm not sure what to say.
As do I, I'm a Music Technology major.
If there's any weakness in the sound quality it's due to the video player or processing of the video, it does seem a bit dampened volume-wise but I can't detect any problem with the initial quality itself.
Implying that they're using cheap equipment is just ludicrous.
I think I liked it. I guess they're going for a Daily Show type vibe? Get a few drinks in to calm those nerves.
So is calling someone a "little boy" for having an opinion different than yours. Highest frequencies are muffled in the voices or something (I'm not entirely sure, I've taken a few music tech/recording courses during my music degree, but I'm no music tech major), but there is definitely a problem with the recording. I doubt it's just because of processing. But if you honestly can't tell a difference in quality in this audio recording and the normal PATV stuff then there's really no point in discussing this.
Cool.
And Canadians
Canadian jokes
Yeah, but what I think he's getting at is that it's the sound of the entire episode, not just the actors voices - implying it's a master level / video encoding issue, not the production values that are at fault.
Yeah, Josh, you're being really defensive...
I'm not a production major, nor do I have any experience with sound recording/editing equipment or software. But what I DO have are ears.
And whatever the reason behind it, the voices on the video sound noticeably muffled or dampened. In fact, it's made more noticeable by the fact that the music/sound effects in the piece seem to be a lot clearer.

Hehe, just joking around. I guess it did come off as pretty rude, I apologize.
I wasn't comparing the two at any point.
Wait, this is Canadian? LEVEL UP
The music being higher quality than the voice quality does seem to indicate that it had to do with the encoding of the video and not with the video player, although it still doesn't have anything to do with the quality of the recording since obviously the music and voice audio are two separate audio components.
On the other hand it's also possible they simply used a different microphone envelope setting than usual.
Many microphones have different settings where one can give the audio quality a closed, muffled sound and another can give it a very open-air sound. Again, nothing to do with the quality of the equipment or recording.
Although I do wish that more "fake news" parody things would take the tack of The Onion and just do it completely serious. It's just my opinion, but I usually find it more funny than doing the schtick-y type stuff like the egg or mugging for the camera.

I was about to post something to this effect.
I'll look into the comments on the audio, because our mic certainly shouldn't be letting us down. Maybe it's due for a replacement? Anyway, I'll take the under advisement.
Glad you all seem to like it!
We're thrilled to be here, and we can't wait to do more.
The LRR crew must be crazy busy these days. What is this your 7th web show? Keep it up, your stuff is really funny.
shame, just when it was getting good

This is not a comment on the quality of this video.
Please to not lose Ledo and Ix.
other than that, i found it to be okay.
PARKER, YOU'RE FIRED! <-- My comic book podcast! Satan look here!
The show has a good vibe- if that makes any sense.
There's a slight de-hiss filter on there, and I imagine that's the culprit. I'll take care of that for next time.
Thanks for the feedback, all!
I am clearly no music major or sound technician.
That might be it. It kinda sounded like a mastering issue, like there was a gate that was chopping off the high frequencies. A hiss filter could do that
edit: I look forward to the next episode
Didn't have me in stitches or anything, but it was fun to watch.
