Definitely way to nintendo centric. The speakers, especially Maxwell have some talent and charm, and I feel the length was okay.. Remember, length is relevant to the frequency of release, we do not know how often the pod cast will be, nor if it will always be this length. I think it flowed pretty naturally honestly.

While you did cover news from all consoles, the tone and general bias towards Nintendo was really strong in the podcast. Of course, this isn't necessarily a problem, but I think maybe you should have pod casts for each platform, and maybe have a podcast featuring the owners of the site to discuss all platforms.

It's important that the members of these forums, the people who are rating these podcast to realize that the people doing this are not professionals, nor are they journalists. They are just speaking their mind and if they are fans of a certain platform, without being trained to speak in a neutral way its not going to come out as neutral, even if they intend it to be so.

I think the big guys, (ioi, source etc) really should get in on it. You all seem like very intelligent and generally pretty well composed about taking sides, it would make for a fantastic listen.

Other than that, the gentlemen who put this one on did a great job. anything lower than a 3/5 is pretty unreasonable, have you guys ever listened to IGN pod casts? Those guys do that for a living and are generally sloppy and no where near as focused as these guys were.

Props to you all, and I hope to see more!

4/5 for me, thanks for your effort and time, but try to either make it a Nintendo centric podcast and go nuts or be a little more careful next time about how you address each platform.

Thanks for the comments, honestly we covered everything we could without trying to go on and on about one subject too much, and I'd say we had much better recordings you guys didn't get to hear due to recording issues previously. 

But as for being Nintendo centric, we try not to be, its basically we're onions :P we say what is on the top of our minds which gets into the podcast, but if you talk to me and Kitchen normally we're talking about things like how much we love things like Batman AA which sadly we didn't even get to rave about in the podcast since that really didn't win any awards and was one of our faves this year.

And yeah if its still a big deal we've got other podcast staff that wasn't able to make it for the podcast, hopefully we can have guys like MM and outlaw (who originally signed up and were supposed to be the other side of the coin to me and Dan) can be on the upcoming episodes but we just didn't have time to get them on board this week
