I think that you guys are good with the time you spend on games. Even some games that I never want to play I've listened to what you've said about them and took time to play games that I never would have.

Second that, I will. It's nice to hear about games from players not critics.

I listenend (TYPO!) to two podcasts today so Im not sure which one said this if Im in the wrong one then too bad.

Anyway, since it is a videogame podcast I would not mind hearing ads just aslong as they don't take up more than 2 minutes or so of show time.

I like more in depth discussion on games. I think that gaming podcasts, communities and gamers in general spend too much time looking at the next big thing. With the rate at which games which prompt plenty of discussion are often swept aside to talk about the next big thing.

In the case of Too Human I think it is an interesting game that has created the most controversy in quite a long while. And I think stopping to talk about it because it was last weeks game or whatever is silly if there is still a good conversation to be had. Your listeners are going to be entertained and keep listening as long as you talk about what interests you.

There are plenty of places to get gaming news from. I don't think it hurts if you decide to go more in depth on some games even if that means not covering some more recent releases.

There is so much repetition out there in gaming podcasts. SG to me is quite different and certainly breaks from the norm. Hell you guys are one of the few podcasts that dosen't start with "so what have you guys been playing this week?".

I partly agree with mashedPenguin: I like the more in depth discussions about games. At the same time, though: because you're a 30 minute podcast you can't really go in depth into games, coz you're trying to cover more gaming news as well.

Saying that Too Human is awesome podcast after podcast gets old and then I'd rather have a separate podcast like the Mass Effect and GTAIV podcasts. These give you guys the time to say everything you want about one particular game instead of having to cut yourselves short.

Of course there are many more podcasts and sites out there that I could turn to for all the other news, but there's a reason why I keep coming back and why your community keeps growing: the GamerCast Network podcasts all have their own unique way of bringing the news.

And we love it.

And then I'm back at the beginning again: hearing how awesome Too Human is because lots of loot is dropped and coz your Berserker kicks serious butt is enough by the third time it's told.

But that may just have to do with the fact that I didn't give the demo a second chance.. :wink2:

.......BOOYA!

Guys, don't change a thing. You give us just enough sizzle about certain games enough to get me to at least try them. In general, video game journalism can be boring (remember this was agreed upon at the PAX panel.)

I am drawn to listen to your show becuase quite simply, you guys are entertaining and well balanced in content. I like the special shows about one game etc once in a while but It is nice that if I have not played the game yet, I can just skip over it and get back to your regular show.
