Hope you enjoy this weeks show!
I watched that Pee-Wee Herman IPad video after the taping, and yeaaah, it creeped me out.
Lots of "interviewses" this week, thanks!
I'm going to make sure that the ipad mini catches on
hmm... I agree with Major Nelson clowns are creepy. Especially Pennywise, he's just evil
@CFR....yea, what book was he from? "It"? It was a Steven King novel, right? I remember a movie made of it when I was younger, which was VERY scary (at least at the time, I've never revisited it).
Anyway, thanks for dropping this week's episode guys. I'm running out of quality English-speaking programming while in Belgium/Netherlands, and it's driving me crazy!
I remember when you interviewed your mom a couple years ago on the podcast. Was really hoping you would do it again :(. Also Big Boy was hilarious haha...
Great, 2 hours, I like long podcasts, and this one is a quality show, thanks people.
Great show, Major. You guys are always talking about things I am doing myself. I am installing 7.1 and have been playing around with Windows Server 2008.
Being myself an owner of a HP Mediasmart Home Server (EX495) I can't recommend it enough.
It simplified my desk and life in ways I can't put into words.
Forget about all those external hard drives for backups, forget about forgetting to backup!
Besides automatically backing up all my computers Daily, Weekly and Monthly, all my media files are also backed and organized in a way that makes them readily accessible for instant streaming in the home network as well as through the web. (no more need to turn on the desktop to be able to stream stuff to my 360 either)
My desk is clean and my brain headache free. If you have more than one computer at home and/or if you have lots of music or photos and videos... you won't go wrong with this one..
Oh, and Mass Effect 2 is amazing.
Good Show! Hey Major, how come no RSS feed for lollip0p's SW Engineering blog?!
@Metal Ghost: Yeah it was "It"... Tim Curry plays him in the movie, creepie
@Major
Just listening to the podcast and I'm at the part where stepto is talking about the auto configure for his new home theatre system. I have a 3 year old Sony Muteki system, mine has a mic that you place in the centre of the room and it blasts white noise through each speaker in turn; its not really anything that new - but very handy for setting up.
What's the music that plays at the end of the show? (Just before the aftershow/m&m chat)
I can't believe none of the 4 recognized that the "postal delivery person" in the USPS commercial is the same actor as played "Chuck" in the Xbox 360 Media Center Extender introductory video:
www.dailymotion.com/.../x5mwje_xbox-360-media-center_tech
I don't think this video is available from Xbox Live Marketplace anymore, but the "it's like a party before the party ... just for me" line cracks me up every single time!
I finally got a chance to listen to the last of it. Great show, thanks again.
As I know you read and communicate these things, here's my rant:
When I got ODST and found out that Mythic maps were not a code, I was mad. THEN I found out they were exclusive to ODST, and that was at least alright. Now they release them to everyone and I'd have to dump down another 800 points to have the convenience of not having to swap Halo 3 discs. Whoever thought this up, specifically, I hate *you*. It's a good thing these types of "Deals" are faceless. I mean, if Gamestop were directly responsible I'd be there today, demanding my maps that I thought I had already paid for.
I'm usually of much more sunny disposition, and I apologize in advance.
