It’s getting to the point that I actually look forward to these podcasts more than the actual MonsterInsider blogs just because these are so dang entertaining. Anything informational that ALSO makes me laugh out loud is a major plus in my book.

Agreeing with others that this was definitely the most enjoyable podcast yet. It’s nice to see that Mike has settled into the role and knows how much to give and how much to take. Zach and Steven seems a bit more comfortable with the situation as well, asking questions more organically than before. All in all, this was a good listen. Thanks to the three of you!

So the hazmat truck has explosion/radial attack on a brawl? So all your units die in combined brawls. Still, could be game changing under the right circumstances.

Nice to see the change from Mike. I really enjoyed this podcast. Still wondering who let Steven out of his box.

@colin – I agree. I think there were several factors going into those first few podcasts. Not only did he not know any of us or anything about what we do actually, he also wasn’t sure what kind of information he could actually give out at that point. Since then, he has found out that he can in fact do some spoiling on our website.

I think he general he is more comfortable now and I am glad we continue to have him on our cast.

I think it’s safe to say he’s now settled into the role of community rep for the site. He may not have had any exposure to the community or to the site prior to the first podcast. They’d been hard at work on the development of Big in Japan after all. But now that he knows what to expect from the podcasts, I suspect we’ll see him become more and more relaxed over time, especially as we get closer and closer to the release day of the new set (or, he could just be completely at the meltdown level at that point, who knows!). You have to keep in mind, when he had his first podcast it would have been like walking into a room entirely filled of nothing but strangers. That can be a pretty stressful and even hostile situation at times. You don’t know who they are or what their intentions are. He obviously had the best interests of the company at heart in that first podcast, keeping the cards close to the chest. Now that he knows we aren’t about to bite any time soon, he can feel more open with the Covenant crew.

So, thanks Mike! I’ve really appreciated your efforts these past few weeks via the Monsterpocalypse Insider entries and podcasts. You’ve provided some useful information for all of us, and yet still maintained that tough balancing act of not spoiling it all within the first reveal. Looking forward to many more podcasts from you!

Is this the same Mike? He was totally making this podcast with great comments and insights. Thanks for contributing!
