I had some very mundane copy/paste work to do this morning, so having this to listen to was awesome. Great work on this interview, really enjoyed it. (Audio seemed fine for me, but maybe I'm crazy.)

Audio was fine for me at work using headphones. Great interview though. Was really interesting to hear Clock talk tf2/overwatch comparisons. Surprised more FPS players don't have that same opinion, but maybe they're just not comfortable expressing it quite yet.

Before people were playing highlander as a comp game mode, a lot of pub communities would have highlander nights. I remember playing in some of these before the cvar to force highlander mode was in the game. I think he was talking about that.

Pro like Chro and Insane like Train were the best pubs back in the day (circa 2009). I remember you, TLR, and a bunch of other TF2F people frequented those servers. Good times.
Just finished the episode, great stuff Sideshow and clock.
