Comments on: Steam Podcast launched http://steamreview.org/posts/steampodcast/ Comment and discussion on Valve Software's digital communications platform.

Makes me wonder though, how long is this state of transition from 2.0 to 3.0 going to be? Seems like it's been going on forever. It's just getting a bit weird, one part has a persistent connection, the other needs you to restart to pick up updates, or new subscriptions being added, or news updates. One part asynchronously works out if you're online or offline, the other part does it once at startup and sticks like it. Mighty weird, if you ask me. And when are they going to release the P2P features? The .res files and localised strings for them have been around for ages now, and the feature still hasn't shown up. I'm starting to get the feeling it's been canned. True, true. Makes me wonder though, how long is this state of transition from 2.0 to 3.0 going to be? Seems like it’s been going on forever.

Friends isn't automatically disabled any more when you're in offline mode. If you then happen to connect up to the net, Friends will suddenly be able to connect - with Steam still in offline mode. The left hand doesn't seem to know what the right is doing. Not related at all, but you know what is awfully peculiar?

I'd be much more inclined to listen to something 20 mins long, or even 15, but maybe that's just how things are done in podcast land. Psssst, btw, be polite and link back to Tom's site from yours. ;) Wow, I can’t imagine listening to something 50 mins long.

Maybe it's just me tho, but I don't care much about starcraft. But sure, if you want to make the broaden the podcast, I don't mind general gaming news. It was just unexpected was all.

I used to drive 600 miles a week and they were a lifesaver. Starcraft 2 was mentioned because we cover a little bit of general gaming news as well. While our main focus is Steam, we realize that most gamers play a variety of different games from different publishers. Suggestions noted though, thanks for your support!
