Appreciate all the feedback folks, what I think I'll do is prepare a pilot episode of both and see how it goes.

Hmm... Thought about that initially Truktruk, but I like the way you put it. So I've edited the OP to include it instead.

So with the season winding down and still having that itch to cast. I've been pondering the idea of doing either a weekly or bi-weekly show for practicing out-of-match commentary. But I don't know if the ideas I came up with are any good or not, so I'm open to suggestions/feedback on the two that I have so far. The names are temporary:

1. "Meet the Caster" "Meet the Player/Team
Synopsis: Each week I sit down with a TF2 caster Player/Team and interview them, covering topics ranging from how they got their start in TF and casting, where they draw inspiration from, lots of other stuff. At the end we play a silly little game with a random viewer and talk about whatever we want.

2. "The Wayback Time Machine"
Synopsis: Each cast we bring out a old STV demo and cover it with a player from that game invited to come and sit in and discuss what went on in the game from their perspective, the strategy/ingenuity behind the key plays and how the meta has evolved since the game was played. May or may not involve unrelated "On this day in history..." tidbits.

Feel free to suggest other ideas too. :)

Doing it again this week?

Not original, but kinda amusing.

Oh fuck... Why didn't we send this after Bullet?

Beats the socks off of the DDoS thread for sure.

And why aren't you guys making TF2-themed ones?

Quick, everybody whose friends with Sal change your profile pic to one!

I'll have a dig around the place for you.

Want to apologize to the guys and girls on Royalty and the Runaway Five. I ran outta gas after the first game so my casting of your game was terrible.

Unfortunately can't get Chrome on my phone to try it out, so you kids have fun with this.

My reaction to my initial reaction...

I may not have slept since Tuesday. But since when has that stopped people before?

We'll play two tonight, up first will be the Open Lower Bracket #12 Slippin with Slipz v. #6 Toon Gang on cp_granary. I think you all know why this one's getting picked, if you haven't then you probably need to go read up on a few forum posts and see what the fuss is about.

Then later we've got in IM #3 Runaway Five going up against #7 royalty on koth_pro_viaduct in the Lower Bracket, with plenty of EarthBound puns to go around and a prior meeting between these two (a 5-3 win for R5 on Snakewater). It should be a fun one.

Cast will go live around 10pm EDT on www.twitch.tv/LKincheloeTF2 - Hope to see you there!

P.S. Due to sleep deprivation, offers being entertained for potential co-caster. Send a PM on twitch.

Guess we're breaking the meta... 5v5 anyone?
