    Wow, this was a good episode for the first 40ish minutes but when you guys got the crying part it was a over the top and almost made me want to stop listening to the EP. Modem sometimes you really make issues really really big that is NOT a big deal at all and the time spent on the complaining and crying over such insignificant issues. (like the down time, we are all human, yes even blizzard employee’s)

    Stick to the info and if you are going to complain and stuff could you really cut it short and not spend so much time. If it is such a big deal then maybe it’s time to find a new game?

    What happened to the good cop? Lots and lots of bad cop (bad modem) and absolutely no good cop. Good cop/bad cop usually includes an opposing view to balance the discussion. Maybe you should have called that segment “Modem’s Rant”. You guys do know what NDA means right? I’m guessing that Blizzard was “gracious” in not suing the website that posted the information. And about the maintenance/patch days, would you prefer that Blizzard tell us that the servers will be back up “sometime today” or “whenever we feel like it”? Wonder if players would be satisfied with that?

    Your podcast is very good and I enjoy listening to it but this segment just hit me the wrong way. Other than this small issue (dare I say “rant”) keep up good work and I look forward to your next 30.

    Hey Talifalana ,
    I just wanted to respond to your comment that there was no good cop and lots of bad cop. You are 100% right. I was a total lame duck there and let him go off ranting. I didn’t have a very passionate stance on the subject personally and it showed. I should have treated it more like a debate but I made some initial points and basically let Modem go nuts.

    I am however, very happy that both you and Christian and others have voiced your opinions on this and other topics. I very much appreciate you taking the time to voice your opinions and let us know what you like and what you don’t like. Our goal is to bring you guys news, information, tips, etc., but also bring our opinions into it too. And if we can all have differing opinions and then be able to discuss it, it makes life more interesting. :)

    I hope to keep bringing you all shows you will enjoy for another 30 episodes and beyond.

    Jason.
