Nice pilot episode, really enjoyed it. I think it's best if, after a bit of an introduction and player history, you base the interview around one main focus point and then add a couple of random, smaller topics/thoughts at the end. That way the episodes won't get too repetitive. Here are a couple ideas:
Permzilla on the history of ETF2L
Cbear/DJC(/Lange?) on MyGamingEdge
Lange/Dashner on LAN/i-series production
Kaidus on euro tf2 history
Enigma on teamfortresstv
Salamancer on SalTV and the start of the intercontinental rivalry (i46)

Wonderful stuff. Reminds me of Thorin's Grilled series.
SideshowI don't know if you guys have watched it, but my voice is about 2% of the content. It's a classic interview kinda video rather than a back-and-forth discussion.
Not sure why your mic was so low quality sounding. It normally sounds cleaner. That being said, it didn't distract from the content. A+

This was really interesting. Him hoping Mixup will come back at some point was cool to hear.

PendjiHow come b4nny's camera is smoother? Had imagined it'd be the other way around unless it's hardware.
My webcam sucks. Gonna buy a new one.

I suggest that you make these videos into some sort of podcast, so it's accessable on Soundcloud or another podcasting/music upload platform, as this length of content is the sorta thing I'd want to download, watch offline and on the move. Not entirely sure of how it would be executed however I believe it would benefit myself and others.
But regardless, I enjoyed the interview and await future interviews.

Someone commented this on the video already, but it'd be cool if we weren't always seeing the players faces, but rather POV clips of them during matches or some other kind of content. It would just make the series less podcast-like and more visual, but you could just ignore the visuals and treat it like a podcast if you want to.

Something I'm seeing a lot in the youtube comments and here is that it would be more enjoyable to watch if there were POVs playing while they talked.
I could do this, but they'd only be recent POV demos from the player so would bear no relevance to a lot of the discussion, and might also distract from what they're saying. I would also not be sure whether to have game sound on or not, and I would also have to think of something different for people I interview who aren't big for playing TF2 (thinking Sal, extine, dashner etc).
I also think that it may in fact reduce engagement with the video. I imagine most people put the video on in the background and did something else while they listened (play tf2, browse websites, whatever) but adding a visual component that people are semi-interested in will make a lot of people actually watch it. And if they then get bored watching, I think they're more likely to turn it off rather than just put it in the background and make it audio-only.
Thoughts? I'm also looking to push these out fortnightly.

I disagree with putting in POV demos. You basically nailed it with the fact that people put it in the background and listen. Also if you decide to have a bit of banter it would be funny to see the facial expressions and reactions of the interviewees :)

Just to note that the way I would implement this would be with the webcam of the guest over the top of the POV, with an overlay, and my webcam whenever I talk. So you wouldn't miss any interested faces unless it's me reacting to something they say.

If you add pov footage please don't include sound or have an audio version without the game sound available for download somewhere

Personally I think you hit the layout perfect, simple design, and easy to see faces. POVs would just distract from the interview. Also I really enjoyed the first one and cannot wait for more!

maybe if u could cut out a lot of the whitespace. make it seem more like an interview rather than you 2 on skype.
so like:
question, answer, cut
question, answer, cut
etc..

I don't know what you mean. What is whitespace and in what way did the video not go from question -> answer -> question immediately?
