    I have only listed to a few episodes so far. Not bad!

    I think the game definitely has enough depth to support a podcast of this format. But I think this 'cast could benefit from a broader perspective. Perhaps I have just listened to the wrong episodes, but judging from the posted hosts' rosters and my limited listening experience, it seems like all 3 hosts are long time players with 3* rosters still in the early phases of their 4* transitions, and the conversation is therefore heavily slanted towards 3* tactics and strategies. Bias towards veterans is probably inevitable since no one is likely to commit podcast-hosting time to a game they just started playing, but some input from 4* and 5* players would have been a welcome addition to the few episodes I have heard. Then again, what do I know!?

    Agreed, the podcast is heavy on the 3 star meta but for me that's not a problem really. I just think of it as nostalgia and chuckle a bit to myself when I realize they are still in the "HP is so restricted"-phase and not yet in the "why is there no ISO what so ever in this game"-phase

    It's a fun cast of people through which makes for an entertaining listen.

    Ps. If you want input from a day 950+ player send me a pm. TS

    They did have two episodes dealing with just that, one a beginners guide of sorts here: http://www.puzzlewarriors3.com/beginner-tutorial.html
    and another about the 2 to 3 star transition: http://www.puzzlewarriors3.com/2to3-star.html

    Check them out!

    Time for a new MPQ podcast: The Four Star Squadron. Make it happen.

    My entire car ride to work today was derailed by the derailing in the full derail episode. As I was getting out of my car they had just said that date it was.

    Craig also called me out by name. I'm on two podcasts Craig. Two. I'm always available for another guest star spot. Damn you Leonard!

    Just started listening, can't believe I never looked for an MPQ podcast. Love the format, love the discussions. Probably gonna binge the podcast for a while.
    In regards to your 2 star champ discussions; Sell those 2 star champs! I only have one 1 star and four 2 star characters. I usually have a free spot for a one cover 2 star for a required node. I have enough hero points that I have every 3 and 4 star with two free slots. I am planning on rotating two star champs using the iso from selling to dump into a new champ just to keep some progression at that level. I definitely don't miss Ares or Wolverine, as good as they were for a while.

    Listened to the normal one yesterday and the long one this morning. Impressed by the quality of the editing that goes on behind the scenes.

    And yes, I am that sad, sorry fool that forced himself to play with Chulk over and over during last weekend just so he could comment on it. It was as horrible an experience as it sounds icon_cry.gif
