Devil in the Details - Episode 3

[Chesspiece_face]

Basically I'm asking, is the goal to be a D3 podcast or is the goal to be a podcast about games in D3's genre/style? My preference would be for a more pure D3 podcast, but I'd likely tune in for the other as well. I really don't mean to be harsh or hard on the show, I'm just really curious what my expectations should be since I'm feeling that isn't clear at the moment. As I said, I'll likely keep listening no matter which way the answer goes.

The impetus for starting the Podcast is definitely the release of D3, and being that all of us are getting together to do this specifically for that game there will be a strong focus on Diablo or other similar games. Having said that, there is no hard line about what the Podcast is about other than 'Games' in general and wherever the discussion takes us.

One of the main reasons for starting the Podcast early is for us to get a feel for recording and ironing out all the kinks before the release of D3 at which point we will most likely continue the Podcast but also be releasing a Let's Play series. It has been my goal with the Podcast to expand the available topics before the release of D3 so that the conversation and content of the Let's Play series has the freedom to find it's own niche within the game while maintaining the Podcast as either supplementory Diablo content or it's own thing entirely.

Because Diablo is a more static game then say, an MMO or a MOBA, it's much easier to chew through discussion topics when you are not getting content updates on weekly or bi-weekly timeframes. The last thing we want is for the content we are planning to cannibalize each other and the best way, I think, to do this is to allow the Podcast the freedom to wander wherever it ends up going while letting the Let's Play be the main D3 content. As I said though, we are all huge Diablo fans so it is inevitable that the talk in the Podcast will center around that series in a major way.
