SUGGESTION: PODCAST IDEA: balancing classes in tf2
-are there overpowered classes in TF2 right now?
-how long do you think until we will see a balanced game (or none at all)?
-should the pyro's airblast be nerfed (its fucking large bros, remember my experiment from long ago)
With the recent release of New Vegas a Fallout Centric Podcast

(In no particular order)
- What elements make a good fallout game?
- Which Fallout was the best, why?
- What is the worst, why?
- A monopoly on the post-apocalypse? What other games have done something similar...were they any good?
- What's next for the franchise?
- How does NV stack up with the other games?
- What did it do right, what did it do wrong?
- Buy it, pirate it, or pass it up?
Suggestion:

The love and hate of Minecraft
Are the podcasts always going to be topic based (Mass Effect, Fallout, Fleshlights, Minecraft) or is there going to be a weekly thing that just talks about junk that's happened.

I'm fine with trying out different formats if you can make a good argument for it. We can try switching off between shorter, more eclectic segment-based episodes and single topic format episodes the last one. However, I can't commit to a weekly release schedule anytime soon because I simply don't have the time for it. Maybe once we get a little more experience under our belts I might be able find more time-efficient ways of doing things, but as of now I don't see it as a possibility.
Great start, some brief constructive criticisms:

-Use push to talk or better mics (don't mean to embarrass anyone but breathing is a huge problem)
-Needs better editing and focus
-Time stamps for when does what
-Maybe plot the show out before you record, hand out a topic list before the show and set target times for each topic, then everyone on the show write the general things they would really like to say under each topic

Example:
Fallout Episode (Target 41 minutes)
(- global topics| -- what I want to say)
- What elements make a good fallout game? (5 min)
-- Choices of play style, writing
- Which Fallout was the best, why? (2 min)
-- NV, because...
- What is the worst, why? (2 min)
-- 3, because...
- A monopoly on the post-apocalypse? What other games have done something similar...were they any good? (5 min)
-- Those russians, Metro was mecha-crazy
- What's next for the franchise? (5 min)
-- IN SPAAAAAAACE,
-- J/K but wouldn't it be crazy if you got to rebuild one society and defend it from the world, like add in RTS elements but keep it FPS
- How does NV stack up with the other games? (10 min)
-- Haven't played (boo, hiss)
- What did it do right, what did it do wrong? (10 min)
-- Based on the cover....
- Buy it, pirate it, or pass it up? (2 min)
-- Get it on steam sale

Key is to properly balance letting the conversation go to interesting/amusing places and keeping it from dragging. It's 75 min and I've already heard some fun parts but I'm going to be honest I'm not going to listen to it all. But all of these things will tighten up with experience.

We actually did this, but we lost the focus a couple times.

I use to run this podcast with my cousin... I miss it. I would be willing to do another podcast with someone if we wanted to start this up again.

I would love to, podcasts are fun to practice on.
Let me know how/if/when you want to do it and through what system for recording.
