I really enjoyed it; it was exceptional for an inaugural podcast. The group seems really well structured and comfortable with each other, the sound quality was great, and you kept a nice smooth pace without rushing.

If you guys want to make these longer, go right ahead. I'd bet most of us have the guilty pleasure of listening to podcasts while we play our MMOs to begin with. You can easily go through a couple hour long podcast that way.

I'll listen to it when it is available on iTunes. Not trying to be a dick on the internet, but rather just a friendly nudge for convenience.

I look forward to it ;3

Super awesome inaugural podcast, guys! You all sound very comfortable doing this and I could see this being a great addition to the site, although, it's great already.

Keep up the momentum!

I suggest that next time you do less editing. Ad-lib and off topic makes better!
