I enjoyed the show. I am really glad they talked about the 6 mineral maps. I dislike the idea of fewer gases and bases with no gas. I like how the hosts talked about it being imbalanced.

Everyone is so polite on the show. It felt like and interview with one map maker for ten minutes then switching to the next map maker. I would like it if people put their thoughts in more often, and made it feel more like everyone was having a discussion. Seems like everyone except Tyler is always trying to get a word in on State of the Game, well mostly Day 9 and Incontrol. I am sure people will get more comfortable with the format in future shows.

I look forward to the next show, and I followed everyone on twitter.

We're comfortable already, but remember that this is the first show. Before we started, we all briefly discussed and understood that the first show is more about "okay, how to improve from here?" rather than acting like it's a presidential speech. We're definitely aware, don't worry

We'll be a lot more casual, and i'll stop wearing glasses.

It was really nice to get some insight into how the other map makers view this movement towards less resources per base, and the impact it will have on the game.

And its great that Blizzard may be open to the idea and to its mass implementation if it is deemed popular.

The real question though is, exactly how popular and community supported must this idea be for Blizzard to implement it ladder wide?

Thanks barrin I appreciate it, btw check your PM's soon. Far as moving the thread, i'd be on the fence about that just because I want to get these guys exposure to the parts of the community who maybe don't know them as well as they know their maps

I would most definitely like to see Barrin come on the show soon and chat with us ^_^

@Barrin, every week we will have a new topic. If you have ideas of things we could talk about, PM nerski about it. We could always use more discussions :D

I've always wondered about how certain features of a map influence certain matchup balance rates. Definitely watching this.

Hey guys, I just watched the first episode vod. I dug it overall, but a couple items of feedback:

Sorry Superouman, it was hard to understand you, mostly due to the mic issue. I hope maybe we can get an upgrade there to get more of your insight.

Also, what was with the timing of the show? When talking about the thread on minerals, it seemed that just as the conversation was starting to evolve into an interesting roundtable discussion, Nerski cut it off and moved onto the next topic.

Overall I am into the show and will check out the next episode for sure. I hope it just gets better.

The first show for anybody is always "what can we improve on from here?" Things will gradually get better with the more shows we do. If you look at Day9's first few casts on his show, he was more quiet, stern, analytical, and serious/logical... and now he's so comfortable that he'll just randomly tell jokes.

We'll get used to it, the first couple shows are always "sit up straight and smile"

Updated OP so long as everything goes to plan, Barrin will be on the show for a follow up segment near the start of the show on his topic "Breadth of Gameplay in SC2".

Will be discussing other topics as well as always, thanks everyone who is continuously giving us feedback on the show we appreciate it. VOD as always should be up a few hours after show #2 ends, and I'll update the OP once it has been posted.
