How about talking about something other than video games?
ReplyDeleteIf you haven’t noticed, the site is entirely about video games. If you are looking for other conversational topics, look elsewhere. Here’s some constructive criticism:
ReplyDelete#1. Cut down the show to a half an hour. An hour is a long time guys, come on.
#2. Some sections were way too long, such as Zelda(00:00-20:18 and “experiences” (33:47-44:00).
#3. There needs to be some topics that you guys strongly disagree with each other on, just to livin things up.
Yeah, you are very right.
ReplyDeleteAs for the length, we just kinda sat down and started talking, so we didn't have regulation on time.
Also, it's surprising we didn't disagree on much, considering Brian and I almost always clash, so this case is an anomaly.
Thanks for the comments.

I think an hour is a good time for a video game podcast. I listen to some that even go 90 minutes and I have no problem with it.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I personally think an hour is fine as well. I agree with some of the criticisms though, we tended to not have as much back-and-forth as is usual for us. We somehow ended up talking about topics we mostly agreed on. There were a few other issues as well, but everything will go better in the next podcast now that we know what to work on. We really appreciate any comments or criticism!
