Heading to "jumped the shark" territory
Having now listened religiously to the majority of the run I am getting that uneasy feeling that I got with Fear the Boot, Roll for Initiative and a few other high quality gaming podcasts. They each, seemingly, have a baked-in lifespan and I fear that MM is rapidly approaching the end of it's useful life. It's not as if the repetition of well worn topics is the root of the problem, there is enough variety and depth in the subjects to warrant a few goes round the block. The problem more is in the change in attitudes of the hosts. It seems that a little bit of success has gone to their heads and from being wry, witty and somewhat self-deprecating with the occaisonal burst of quite charming self congratulation they have morphed into irritatingly self-satisfied voices of authority. Try though they might, and Phil is a bit better on this than Chris they can't help the "our way is the best way" vibe creeping into everything. I am really disappointed because they are both very smart and entertaining guys but it is beginning to grate. I hope they can take this criticism in the spirit in which it was intended.
