After having listened to this episode I'm wondering what the mission statement of the podcast is. In the first post you said
Which on the one hand says "video game related podcasts" and on the other says "all things Diablo". This episode makes me wonder which of those two directions is going to be more prevalent. I watched expecting a D3 podcast and by the end felt like I was watching a podcast about more general gaming with fanboy talk about other games.
At the start the other game talk was tied into the D3 talk to kind of explore how things could be done, but by the end it really felt like talking about other games just to talk about them. Which is fine. If that is the kind of podcast you want to do then more power to you. I just feel like I need to have the proper expectations and right now I don't. I feel like I tuned in for D3 talk and got something else. I realize that some of that is simply due to D3 not being out yet so there is a limited amount to talk about. I just also feel like some of it is intentional too. So would like a more full mission statement about the podcast so I can know what to expect more in the future.
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.

Tentatively named "The Devil in the Details" we brave the hell of illness and minor technical issues to pontificate on all things Diablo.
