I might be interested. I love MF and I'm interested in the economy (in the Diablo world, of course).
i notice you need to be able to speak english well to participate, does bostonian count as good english? cause i catch more **** about people not understanding what i am saying.
i would be up for this for sure. main interest would be pvm and character building i guess. though i tend to have an opinion on everything except pvp which i will probably never ever play
I'm definitely interested. The only problem I see on my part is the accent. I've studied English for 5 years, including 2 years of General American phonetics, but the fact that English is my second language remains. My guildies on WoW can understand me, but if you're willing to include me, expect a foreign accent here and there.
As for the topics, I really like to look for similarities between Blizzard's games. The teams borrow a lot from one another (runes, skills, environments, you name it) and I like to brainstorm with my friends about which of the ideas included in WoW or SC2 (this one to a lesser extent) will end up in D3.
so I catch up to all my regular podcasts, and find myself wanting to listen to more D2 jank.
I google for such a D2 podcast, and what do I find? some threads about other people interested in the same thing.
I play/played for 7+ years, and know a fair share about the game. I'd be stoked to be on the podcast, or just to listen to it. I have some podcasting experience, and loads of experience with skype.
Everyone up to and including Sinned has been PMed about their interest, and several of the guys have followed up and we're planning who will talk about what and when. Going well, basically. More to come soon.
Other people are still free to volunteer, of course. We'd like to have a variety of voices on the show.
I guess this could be fun. I like everything about the game from lore to gameplay, nostalgia, color controversy etc..
Out of everything, what really matches my personal interests and, I guess, I could help most with are the music (big fan of music in general and Diablo scores), some religious topics or controversies (like the removal of crosses), lore and Diablo as an art, not just a game.
My vision of the game goes a little beyond the gameplay. I'm one of those players that enjoys the details in the background, the music, the characters. I'm the one that reads every tome in Diablo 1 and always stayed a while and listened to Cain. I like to take one step at a time and enjoy the content beyond the game. No rushing allowed x)
Flux, I cannot return your email. I've tried 9 times but it just bounces.
I've got replies in your inbox on this site. Let me know if you want me to test.
Whoa get those guys on there asap.F'rnstance, one of the first shows will feature me talking to a couple of RL friends who were big d2 fans, then moved to wow, and are now eagerly awaiting D3. Plus they were both at the last 2 Blizzcons, so they've actually played D3 a bit. I'm curious to hear how they compare the different game experiences, what they enjoy about WoW, what they expect D3 to do for them that WoW doesn't, etc
I've listened to all of Flux's podcasts up to his latest one (just saw it posted and will check it out tonight). So far, I think these are great! Obviously the interview with Max was huge. I haven't heard many interviews from him (aside from what I've found on youtube), but I shared it with a lot of friends as it described a lot about D1/D2 days and also gave great insight as to how the gaming industry is changing and how the development of TL2 is coming along w.r.t. that. And the topicals on Blizzcon were great! It was awesome to hear what it was like (on a more personal level; waiting in lines, how do you plan your trip, etc...).
I'm a long time D2 player (and two-time former Guild Master in WoW). However, my experience is likely atypical from the norm. I never played on battlenet. And usually played with a single friend or else played solo. If there's room to discuss topics from a guy like me, I would be thrilled to do so
Areas I could speak best about:
- My non-battlenet D2 experience (I only ever played solo w/ friends over TCP/IP)
- My wonderment of blizzcon (and how I'll never get to go, in person)
- My newb-tastic experience with D2
- My obsession over D3 updates/news
- How I've come to terms with Blizzard's ability to drag out their release schedules
- How Diablo is so *not* Warcraft (While it's valuable for a game like Diablo to learn from the development of WoW, there are still fundamental differences between Diablo & WoW that will keep an audience engaged for years to come)
- How every night in diablo is a "win"
- My hopes for better online viewing of your inventory
- My hopes for an improved Auction House mechanic (to facilitate the "trader's game" that Jay Wilson calls Diablo)
- Why I'm worried some of my WoW friends will *not* like Diablo 3
Even if there's not a spot for me in a diablopodcast, I would like to send a formal "thank you" to Flux and all those involved for their commentary. I will certainly keep listening, as I really enjoy these discussions. I find the format & content interesting (the casual initial up-front chat + the "let's get down to the discussion" follow up section).
Thanks again for hosting these.

Thanks for the feedback and kind words.Originally Posted by Floydman
For now, I don't need any more volunteers to help out on the show. The problem now is actually finding enough chances to get everyone involved. I think we've had 5 or 6 of the volunteers on so far, and there are a couple of more who haven't gotten a chance yet, due largely to scheduling issues.
I've got 3 more shows all recorded and ready to go (none about current news issues) and may do as many as 3 more interviews this week with other people for future shows, 1 or 2 of which will probably be about current events and thus need to be posted quickly. Hence going to two shows a week lately, as actual new news has demanded immediate analysis and discussion.
