Show Notes:

It’s episode 11… our show is kicked off with a physics lesson from Sewer Being, and then punctuated by a massive tech news roundtable with SolidXSnake, NikSub, Hazaro, Captain Newbie, and JamesXP (it was a pain to edit;-). We talk about laptops that zap you, Vista irritations, high end graphics… and much more.

And we’re done!

another awesome show dude.

 

[JamesXP]

It should be with all the editing he did,

 

[Hazaro]

It should be with all the editing he did,

Hahahahaha....

Oh...

Ok I'll listen now...

 

[Godfather1138]

I'm sure it was a PITA, but I really liked the news "round table" discussion.

 

[JamesXP]

You'd enjoy it more without the edits, I think we shouldn't do this to jdrake again... I bet it took him about 2 hours probably more

 

[jdrake90]

I was thinking... we could do the roundtables live... so if people want to listen to the madness... they can... and then I edit them down for the final show.

Anyone interested in that?

I'd probably start with just a few people on the table... keep it simple, then add more if it works out.

[JamesXP]

That would be pretty lol...


Keep it simple e,g No mac bashing

or vista bashing...

Id love to listen to it live.

 

[Godfather1138]

Anyone interested in that?

100% YES. There is nothing better than the random chatter that comes when discussing new topics.

 

[Hazaro]

Oh man...

That would be great

 

[David_N]

I'm down for the live version too

 

[Maverick0984]

Always weird hearing the voices of online folk.

 

[EmAn]

'will listen to it when i get home but i would love a live round table discussion with a little twist... Have you guys on air and then allow people to message jdrake via IM and discuss what ever the people want to hear about a certain topic announced at the beginning of the show
