Fix the damn youtube auto creation thing,.. (not you Sal but whoever is in charge of that stuff) the Youtube videos just straight up cut at 30 minute mark.. it is really bad.

The new structured format helps. I'd say you've lost you way a bit if you are trying to get to Highlander people as the majority of your stuff now is 6's based it seems, but shows change focus some times to meet the demands of the people that are watching, so maybe that is helping, or maybe you aren't meeting your original mission.

Rumours and gossip is all interesting and as mentioned in the other thread helps build characters, you lot are a lot more gentle than Pirate Radio ! :D ...

The Talkshow format is good, it is a bit odd having two presenters for the interview bit as the two personalities can roll over the topic of conversation and the geusts. Maybe do the start round table with you, bear and djc.. then a one on one or one presenter + two guests for the next section, then bring back in the other presenter for some final questions and close. The show tends to meander around a bit and sometimes doesn't pick up interesting threads again because cbear is talking about his cat <3 . :)

I liked the start round table with djc, I'd consider the djc spot to be a bit rotatey, so maybe Lange, djc, +someone else that has actual opinions, JeffXtine? To keep things fresh and interesting each week.

I liked the themed shows, even for classes I've never played, I considered adding to the 45minutes (or whatever) I have as Heavy after the heavy episode. Would like to see those completed (no engy episode :( ). I'd like to see the Map makers show, maybe a discussion with some league admins, Valve Valve Valve, a genuine community episode, a "keeping your team together/starting a team" episode .. that kind of thing.

Ahh you watched/listened to it :D .. glad you did :)

So my thoughts are two fold, one is the personality thing you discussed, this is important.. LG were a super popular team, in part because of B4nny and the amusing B4nny jesus stuff that built up around him in casts and online. Now there is the new angle, B4nny vs. Tyrone.. everyone wants to see Don't Trip vs. Don't Stand (change your name all you want, this is your name). It is now a big deal.

Casters have personality, Sal is the nice friendly guy, eXtine is the massively over enthusiastic guy, Duder is all drunk and stuff, djc is the grumpy curmudgeon, cBear used to be in theater and it shows... this is all good. We need to bring this out at a player level too... VanillaTV do this very well with the match profiles and mini interviews... if you look at BFF there is a lot of personality there, Kaidus is all sarcastic, Darn is drunk (regardless of weather he is or not), Zebossai's demos need to be watched ... more of this type of thing please... I think Crackclan did an amazing bit of work with their Season Hub thing, also whilst it was probably pretty boring for him Retshock's ongoing Fifa thing added some amusement :D

The second major thought is casting, I was thinking last night of a couple of things to do with the new ESEA thing, the fact that we have regular games and stuff... I don't know how it works for ya'll Americans but we have a couple of punditry type programs about football (soccer) that are on the same time every week, you have a program that is effectively covering all of the games that happened that day (Match of the Day) by showing highlights, doing interviews and covering a couple of games in depth.. and then you have a Sunday morning Soccer show (Soccer AM) that is much more amusing, it picks up some of the best goals or worst mistakes, has some interviews with funny people, some live challenges, and is generally VERY light hearted. I watched the second show occasionally even when I had absolutely no interest in football,.. it dragged me in and now I watch the first one as well.

Talking of which,.. and this is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out on a limb, Fantasy Football. There is NOTHING that'll make people watch more cast TF2 than a Fantasy football/Fantasy 6's type game. Just sayin'.

He referenced some random guy in the steam for the source of his info on the CEVO prizes... this was me.

The Hein thing is quoting directly from this :

Where TMP and Hein both talk on the subject, very publicly.

ITT rustled jimmies.

Looks like a fun game looking for an angle for a show match to promote the round robin. Why does it have to be analysed as more than that.

There are a people out there that seem to produce reams of content that people don't read/watch, surely one of those folk would jump at the chance to write for a site where there stuff may actually get seen :)
