    Good episode. I have no qualms with it.

    Just wondering if this is going to be a weekly thing or bi-weekly? Cause the more episodes the better.

      More episodes means shorter episodes, but yes it’s looking like we’re going to be doing the show weekly, we might miss a few weeks here and there but in general there should be an episode up every Tuesday.

    I would suggest you guys stop doing the scrolling news at the bottom altogether. While it’s very nice and all, it’s a waste of time for you ‘cuz i’m pretty sure no one notices it.

    Good ep. I love these.

        The ticker of the additional news at the bottom of the video. You know, like the stuff you would see on a news station.

          Yeah, that. I always forget it’s called ticker. Took me a lot to figure out when i was starting to code apps.

      For the people who don’t read it it’s at the very least a nice aesthetic addition is it not?

        I don’t know. I think it looks good, but i’m not sure about the TV News style overall. Maybe it’d be cooler in a newspaper-like style, more in style with the website, or something.

        I love the content, though. I never look up on console news so i find out a lot with each episode.

          Thanks I’ll keep that in mind, it could be hard to do in video format, but it’s definitely a noteworthy idea.

          Yeah that’s basically the demographic we’re going for. There’s no way we’re going to be the first to inform the most hardcore videogame news readers with our stories. This show is more for those who perhaps don’t have the time or couldn’t be bothered to read videogame news regularly.

            It’s also a nice touch to have all the links below the video.

            By the way, there’s a typo, if you will, in the credits, next to Gavin’s name.
