Hey, so Attack From Both Sides is a new podcast project Ranger Taffles and I have started. We've been planning to do a podcast on our own for a while and figured why not. If you're into gaming oriented discussion - where we give our opinions on the matter - check it out. Of course we'll be expanding to different subjects in our discussion but as it is mentioned - it's a gaming centric podcast.

For now head over here to listen to our first episode: https://soundcloud.com/attackfrombothsides

(episode notes): We're live? We discuss about end year's titles and how miserably we are failing to try to make time for it. Audible issues are sincerely regretted, like seriously.

We do wanna give our special thanks to PakGamers for allowing us to share here, we appreciate the support and are grateful for the commitment. This is a great platform for us to engage with all sorts of discussion. Oh and feedback/questions are welcomed for the podcast, we’re looking forward to taking them.

Not too shabby. The quality of the podcast itself is pretty nice and whoever picks out those tracks deserves a huge pat on the back. A few kinks here and there in your overall dynamic but nothing that can't be hammered out. It is a little short, though. I listen to a couple of podcasts in my spare time and 30 minutes is usually on the lower end for me. Good pick of choice of topics, y'all should keep it causal like this since it flows better. All things considered, very impressive for a first attempt. Keep it up, guys. (y)

Also, what's the scheduling like for this? Weekly? Monthly?

Glad you enjoyed it. We're flexible on the subjects too so like it was mentioned, there will be days where we talk about different stuff too.

About the length, well we figured 30 mins would be good enough for now since it's convenient in managing our own time in that frame as well. Plus I know some fellows who still asked for shorter lengths, so you can imagine the general audience we're keeping in mind. lol

Next episode hopefully will be this month. Planning for bi-weekly podcasts for now.

[MENTION=11846]Gizmo[/MENTION] and [MENTION=11904]Ranger Taffles[/MENTION] this is great stuff guys! Really liked the flow of your conversation. It all sounded very natural.

I do agree about the 30 min duration being kinda short, though. 45 mins - 1 hour is probably the sweet spot.

Also, is it just me or did Gizmo drop a megaton towards the end? Someone's getting a gaming PC before the next podcast, it seems. :p

Also, we've been getting some polarizing feedback about the length of the podcast, some people are saying even 30 mins is too much while you guys think it's not long enough :crazy:

I think 30 mins are perfect. No more no less.

if you guys churn this out bi weekly, I would say 30 mins is fine...otherwise I wouldn't mind it being around 45 mins
also would love to see [MENTION=218]CerebralTiger[/MENTION] and others in those too

That was a great podcast! (y) A bit rough around the edges but I had an enjoyable time listening to it. And I'm sure you guys will only improve with time.

I think 30 minutes is fine for the time being. Test the waters for a while and if it garners enough interest, you guys should increase the duration.

P.S: TR reboot > UC1 & UC2

Great job guys good to see podcast is back
You shouldnt be worried about length of podcast as long as it is interesting and doesnt feel drag
what i feel you need bit more guys with you so there is more to talk about it and create bit difference of opinion at few points i felt there was nothing to talk about but still trying to talk about it and to rectify that you may need 1 or 2 person with you who can chip in the conversation
just my 2cent none the less great effort
Spoiler: show
what recording device you are using ?

So finally got around to watching it.

Great job guys. Liked how the convo flowed between both of you and the quality of sound was great. I agree with the others about length being kinda too short. A bit longer podcast will enable more detailed conversations.

Anyway, keep up the good work. Now, onto the next podcasts. :p

    Is it just me or people lately seem to defend every bad game design decision made by the devs and try to give bullshit reasons for that? Or perhaps it's because I'm on reddit and discord :ROFLMAO:
