Since I didn't see the ending I gotta ask: Is it possible to call in and ask a question, just like in Lo3/Inside The Game? | ||

First off i really like the title graphic - reminds me of a movie that I can't think of right now, plus of course it has your trademark red tie. My main complaint is that the roles sort of seemed confused, and you were maybe too domineering at times. These might be related and only happened because it was the first show, so if that's the case then you can just ignore this. This was less true in the interview portion of the show, I thought that was quite well balanced, but for the first hour in general you talked too much and odee/chobopeon not enough. You had salient points and weren't repetitive or anything but I just felt the balance was off. I was also sort of confused at chobopeon's role on the show. It seems like he might be the voice not tied to a team, in which case that's ok but he needs to speak up more in that role - what insight he did have, especially from mlg offices, was nice. He might be the moderator, but it seemed like you were really the one taking the lead on that front with him just reading off questions when you said to. That might be a feeling that'll disappear as you guys get the pacing figured out though. Overall I really enjoyed the show, great guest that answered a lot of the questions that I've always wondered about. Looking forward to the next episodes ^^ | ||

Thanks very much for them. We'll work on our chemistry and I'll definitely try to integrate everyone more next time. | ||

Overall I really enjoyed the show, great guest that answered a lot of the questions that I've always wondered about. Looking forward to the next episodes ^^ I can agree with this, I think the roles they had planned are very good, with Odee/Lake kind of being even, both the experts, and more Chobopeon being an interviewer per say going through a list of topics with them. It more just happened that for topics like IPL4/GSTL in Vegas and the Sexual Harassment in FGC Odee hadn't really had a chance to read up on these issues, so Lake had much more to say. So I guess my feedback will be maybe a little more headroom w/ the planning so that Odee can have done his homework <3. | ||

Some topics that I think would be very interesting to get the business perspective on are; 1) Is there a place for a media conglomerate dedicated to esports? 2) Should the business side take a major role in the grassroots development of future professional gamers, much in the same way businesses are involved with mainstream grassroots sports like basketball, baseball, and football, etc., now or in the near future? 3) For those that are new to the community, could you give some examples on how to become involved and gain networking opportunities with potential partners and/or employers. Thanks, cheers. | ||

First half hour or so (news of the week): to me this is kind of weak. maybe if there were more perspectives given it would be better, it seemed like the guests didn't really say anything at all at this point. if in the future it's patrick running down the news and coL1 and odee giving their perspectives, maybe it would be stronger. Second half hour or so (nostalgia with slasher): frankly this was really boring. It misses the focus of the show, and i think this show's audience that are interested in that kind of thing probably already know it. in the future if you want to go into guests' background i suggest making it way shorter. last part of the show (corporate influence on media): fantastic! this is where the show clearly shows its strengths, i can't get enough of it. i looked at the clock when jason said something to the effect of 'so let's get to the topic of the show' and it was 1:56 pm, almost a full hour after the show started. on the topic of the show, i put most of my comments in the chat. i think a media that wants to sell itself as 100% independent needs to have advertisers, not sponsors. it is of course exceedingly difficult to get advertisement dollars, even compared to sponsorship dollars. | ||
