Wow, I'm amazed how many people complain about the podcasts.
"It's too long." "I would rather read it." "I only want to hear NS2 related news."
Charlie and Max thank you for the 20 minute casts. I thoroughly enjoy them. It makes my day to hear from the developers and talk about issues and ideas. I also like how you input about other games or things that are happening around your lives. It gives us insight on the people making NS2.
Keep it up, your podcasts are great and I hope you don't change a thing.

Seriously, your 20 minute podcast could be done in 2 minutes flat! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" /><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
If you want a review, that's fine. However, after listening to Podcast 6 (over, and over, and over again,) unless there's someone outside directing conversation, and keeping them on subject, they tend to run off onto other subjects. Frequently.
I find this entertaining. From Max's non-changing "Hmm?" line (seriously, listen to 6 and listen to his "Hmm's." Each and every one of them have the same fluxuation in tone and volume. It's like he's got a sound byte of himself playing,) I find it beneficial that Charlie runs off into another subject and Max, having a train of thought that is heading away from New York while Max is gearing towards Boston, end up stopping Charlie part way through and 5 minutes later, they get back to the original subject.
However, when it concerns NS2, they are straight to the point (when on subject,) and Charlie spends most of the time playing interviewer while Max answers questions, or Max gets excited (similar to 80% of the community,) as Charlie reveils his new ideas for the game.
I'd freaking HATE to have to transcribe that guy's podcast...
I want to bring up one of the thoughts I heard about something mentioned concerning developer commentary in the podcast. I heard Charlie mention a possible "wiki" treatment to the styles of the Portal, TF2, and HL2:EP2 commentary nodes. Anybody else excited about this, as well as having HUGE reservations?
