If you don’t mind I’d like to give some constructive criticism.

I watch / listen to podcasts and interviews from Joe Rogan and Howard Stern and I find them incredibly interesting and even addicting at times.

From what I’ve noticed, they don’t follow a set list of talking points as strictly as you guys do. If you let the topics stray off it leads to a more natural conversation and a better flow of information.

If you don’t have a technical limitation, don’t be afraid to go over an hour in length. Rogan’s podcast sometimes goes up to 3 hours long because it’s just interesting conversations where he doesn’t cut off the little side tangents. They make your guest more comfortable and makes everything more interesting.

I’ve noticed that around the 50min mark you and your guests get comfortable with each other and makes it a lot more enjoyable to listen to, and a lot of good game points get addressed. It becomes great to listen to and then you start cutting off great content for the sake of it going over an hour long.

Howard Stern makes his guests feel comfortable right off the bat and he fires off questions from all over the place and he makes it to where only an hour works, but he is also the best in radio and is the reason he got 100million dollar deal.

This is just my opinion but I think you guys have started a really good thing and would like to see it improve. I think a more lax, loose, and longer podcast would turn this pretty decent podcast into something great. Also I would like to hear more input from bahb, a 3 way convo is more entertaining.

Hope you guys take this into consideration

A few counter points:
a) While it is good to let a topc wander around and sometimes derail, its kinda needed to hold a “list” of not so strict lines how a podcast goes (kinda like the siskel and ebert reviews used to be)
b) Youtube analitics show that unless its a special case, general attention span of long videos before closing or skipping is up to hour and 20 minutes, also time constrains of the people in question.
c) Noone likes Bhawb, he is the Jaggered horror of the podcast (jk ofc, its just that there is no set banter/play off roles that they could do for now, like a Straight Man and Wise Guy routine – mostly since Bas plays of both parts).

To counter your counters

A ) Im not saying to not have a “set list” I’m just saying out of the 3 eps I’ve listened to, every single time had an instance where I wanted to hear what the guest had to say but then heard “well hold up lets get back on topic” killing the natural flow of conversation and whatever it was that was interesting

B ) A podcast isn’t meant to be a sit down and watch show. It’s talk radio. You throw it up in the background while you do something else. Of course you cant sit and watch 3 guys talk into a microphone, it isn’t enough visual action. But you can listen to it and retain information while you’re doing things like Grinding out hearts, doing a dungeon, cleaning your room, having a work out etc…

C ) He sounds like a chill guy that I’d like to hear opinions or questions he has from guests but he maybe has 7 scentences the entire cast

I had plans on frostfang but the daily flushing of gold into the mystic forge is really starting to put me off on the whole idea

Anyone else hate Orr?

The only ting I hate about Orr is the Loot DR that isn’t supposed to affect “normal players”

SoS has become all PvE carebear. Pretty disappointing to be able to have only one BL covered and still be out manned in it during our supposed “prime-time”

Possibly OP...Or A Solution?

Engineers are incredibly good. 1400 range nade condition-damage and it’s AoE? Yes please.

1 viable kit that is no doubt the most annoying to use.

totally awesome

You guys talk as if were engineers…. Necro’s are fine.

It isn’t okay that it has zero synergy with condi builds which were supposed to be the focus of the class.

AoE bleeds and conditions, 2 wells and a DS life siphon does the trick for me…

Agree. It was fun battling YB – had some great battles. Even though they show last on the scoreboard, they have all my respect for the way they battled this week. You guys are tenacious! I’d like to see more of YB in T3.

As for SoS, I expected more, especially from Tsym. They had some very talented players when they left DB. But I guess they were hit by an exodus… hope you recover well from it.

What more can you expect? You’re sounding like a pretty sore loser
