Chase,
This was a good episode, but you need to get a better sidekick, who is actually able to compliment your ability as a host with competent analysis, other than "the game or feature is good, but whatever, you know what I mean". That is not the concrete, specific analysis that we need. I thought the NHL segment was much better as you had analyst who actually had passion about the demos that they were dissecting, even though its difficult to get much out of playing a demo. In the end, sports podcast are far and few between, so I guess, I cannot complain that much. And for god sakes, face breaker is not a sports game, so why even discuss it at any great length?
