Yay new update.

Woo! It was a lot of fun this time around, a bunch more banter-y. I just hope we don't end up being incomprehensible because of that.

Yeah, as mentioned in the cast it was a bit odd to play a game based around deception to build trust/friendship type thing, but I think the results of it were oddly positive, lol.
 
Again, any and all comments are welcome. We definitely weren't as stiff as first time 'round, but let us know if we went a bit too far in the other direction. Thanks to everyone who subscribed and to all the listeners, this ♥'s for you.

Yaaaaaaaaaay just as I see this post my iTunes updates. :3

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh, the quality of my sound is awful. I am so sorry. I'll be working on fixing that asap.
Ugh.

Episode was really awesome.
 
I didn't have any problems with sound quality -- but I guess I'm not annoyed by it. I'm used to having computer fans whining all the time anyways.
 
Also, Moz (I think it was him) fails. They already announced the custom maps are for free.

Good podcast. I liked the discussion of things they could add that would make the mechanics easier. I wouldn't like to see that, cause those are the the kind of things make me feel like I am actually getting better at the game from a fundamental point. If they just added those things I feel like that would be too easy....I like the challenge. :P 

Good episode, you were alot more laid back and there was a bit more banter than last time. If you can strike a balance between serious and banter, this will continue to be a good podcast.
 
Audio was a bit uneven this time. I listened to it while cycling to work and I had to turn up the volume once you started talking and had to turn it down once the music started again. It's a minor thing though, overall everyone was understandable and clear.
 
My take on TLO changing race:
I think you guys are forgetting that TLO is really good with Zerg. During the Beta he was one of the more creative and inspiring players with Zerg. TLO is a player that likes to do off-the-wall stuff and likes to do tricky stuff. Zerg is a race that'll allow him to do that, considering they've got alot of tricks up their sleeve(Burrow-play, Nydus-play) We haven't seen alot of those things yet from most Zergs, and I feel TLO will like playing around with that.  Now that the Terran early game options have been reduced, I think TLO feels much more comfortable with Zerg.
I think getting mad at TLO for changing his race because you think he's changing because of the patch is a little dumb. I like TLO regardless of what race he plays, and if he decides to change back to Terran, I, as a Zerg-player won't be mad at him.
He's playing, so he gets to decide what race he wants to play.

WoooOOoOooOOOOoooOOoOoOOOOooo
 
As soon as my right arm falls off from Pro Drumming I'll give this a listen-to.

Thanks for all the feedback, everyone. Glad to see someone other than ourselves enjoy our discussions :D

" @ThatFrood: If you want better quality get everyone to record locally with Audacity and then get them to send you the files and sync them up, apply a few noise filters and stuff and it should sound pretty good. "

SCREW YOU GUYS FOR BASHING TLO!!
Kidding.
Listened to this today. Awesome awesome awesome. It seemed like 200% better then Ep 1, and I thought 1 was really good. Zero dead air, everyone seemed a lot more relaxed and it was pretty damn entertaining. Specially the Phantom segment. Hilarious.
Keep up the good work guys.

I haven't listened to both episodes in their entirety yet, but just want to say good job. Keep it up :)
 
Also, Harris, more tournaments please :P

i love the podcast, but the sound hurts my ears with those scratchy noises!
 
 
EDit: LOL about the quick save story, so true.

Thanks for all the feedback! 
 
@Jayzz: Yeah, we'll try to get that fixed.

StarCraft is serious busniess. Flames and epic music together.

Hey guys, I finally got the chance to listen to these (while playing some Phantom in preparation for tonight), and I like them a lot. I like how you guys talk about a variety of subjects, from patch notes, balance, but then other stuff like custom maps and such. 
 
I'll definitely be tuning in. 
 
PS: Debates is awesome.

Just wanted to say great job, you kept my brain from exploding for half of my 3 hour drive to Redlands today. Also @harris downloading directly to my Droid from the link in the thread worked this time woohoo.

Only concern is that for some reason on my playlist, both episodes have the exact same title so I had to guess at which one was the right one.

Keep it up!

Hey harris also when i view the information/description for an episode on itunes it says "Download: episode 2 Listen: " is there a way to make that go away?! I know I'm part of the podcast crew and all but I don't how the hell any of this itunes business works! DO IT!
 
Also thanks to everyone else for the nice feedback, I'm already working on my introduction for tomorrow's third episode so I can bomb that too. cya then.

New episode up! 
 
Also, look out for a special-audio-debates-game-series-bonus later this week! It was quite entertaining.

I'm so excited for Episode 3.

" StarCraft is serious busniess. Flames and epic music together.

Just finished listening to Episode 3. It was good. 
You guys are getting into the hang of things and it's really coming together well. Also huge thanks for the shout out to the EU tournament I'm running, I didn't even have to ask for it.

Though I don't have much Starcraft II interest, I'll give it a listen.

Ok, bonus episode is up on the feed. I'm kind of afraid of the feedback we'll get for this one "-_-.
