    It sounds like Steve was dominating the podcast.

    Also you should have edited that chair squeak out.  Now my immersion is ruined forever.

    • GettCouped

      Yea! Damn chair squeak! Who’s that fidgety? BTW What you think and what can we do to be better?

        Apart from having one person dominate the podcast?  Possibly stretching the time to one hour to facilitate more discussion.  If I can keep talking about one thing for an hour, you can easily do it with three people discussing amongst themselves.

          Thank you for the comments.  Have you submitted your application to podcast@guldmag.com? If you can talk for an hour and remain interesting, we would seriously consider you for our show. :)
          It is intriguing that you would like to make the show longer.

            Well if it was a 30 minute show you could probably get a good discussion on maybe two or three topics, which is probably more suitable for the weeks in between BWEs when the only stuff to talk about is whatever ArenaNet has given us.  On the other hand, right after a BWE there’s a lot more to talk about.  You could also take listener questions, which I think was actually suggested in this podcast.

    Great podcast as always guys – lovin’ the positivity!

  • chlo1ber

    Enjoyed it, thanks.
    I don’t know who talks at around 11:40, but he has to stop saying “like” that often…it’s, like, a bit annoying ;)

       That would be Steven :P

    • GettCouped

      YEA!  How many times is like said?  Thank you for the feedback.  It stinks cause when I get excited I say it, but I don’t wanna lose the passion.

    I think fun for me impacts how in-depth is and how you have the choice to go in-depth into almost everything.
    The more in-depth things you can do the more fun.
    But too much will bring problems.

    • GettCouped

      Hmm thank you. :) We try to live on the details.  BTW how close do you think we were to being on the too much side?

      • DutchSunshine

        I think Jacabb didn’t mean that the podcast was too in-depth, I think he was talking about GW2 ;). Correct me if I’m wrong though!

  • Naleth

    Hi guys, a fun podcast, but if you’d please explain the acronyms more I’d appreciate it. Thanks :)
