28 mins? :(

[DavidKauffman]

This episode went by way to fast, kinda lame actually. :(

Hope the live show brings back the awesomeness!

[Asystole]

Kevin's anecdote at the end was hilarious.

[boldfire]

This episode was very short, and Kevin's mic was a bit dodgy. I wonder if they cut a fair portion out because the mic was unbearable?
Still - as always, a good episode!

[Bani-Banan]

Too bad kevins mic was off.

Wasn't really the best episode, though it was up to date (tuesday/wednesday)
THEY'RE DRINKING BEER! woot

I've been thinking of getting a pleo. But, they aren't available in europe, only through ebay are they available.

Anybody know what coding language they're using?

The tiwtter thing at the end was kewl

[anthrt]

Yeah, Kevin has no mic.

[radzack]

def rushing it

[sommers]

Kevin's anecdote at the end was hilarious.

yea haha that would have been funny to see

[EnragedOstrich]

If Diggnation gets that Dino robot thing, I have to say... They must outshine the Lip-Dub that... I beleive Revision3 Gazette did. It is an absolute MUST.

Just saying... Epic.

[nefarious]

Aww, that was pretty short, 28 minutes? and yeah Kevin's mic was off, normally Glen is good about catching things like that, what happened?

I really wish that the format would ditch the 2 stories from Alex, 2 Stories from Kevin format though, and just do a minimum of say, 45 minutes no matter how many stories it takes: 3 each, even 4 each... I've heard Kevin say there's never a shortage of finding stories to talk about, so why limit it to 2 each when it results in 28 minutes?

Anyway, don't want to end the post on a bad note, It was still a good content episode, and I had a some laughs. Glad they were drinking beer too.

[niksko]

Good ep. A bit too short for my liking, and Kevin needs to turn his mic on! Good to see them drinking again. But guys, you've just shattered all my hopes and dreams. I wanna see you guys in Australia!!!! Please please please come to Melbourne guys. And I might actually be able to see you since you've now vowed to not go to anymore 18/21 + places.

[Maynza]

Man it's totally awesome to watch the digg reel twice in a week... seriously, is there anyway to make sure the digg reel doesnt do 50% of the diggnation stories?

[zewise1]

still diggnation but seriously, 2 zips of beer and 4 cat stories don't make a good diggnation episode.
28 minutes???
Guys come on, i like you but this was a let down.

[Natron]

Awesome.... another Diggnation where they rush through it as fast as possible with as little commentary as possible to see how far under 30 minutes they can squeeze the show. Wicked rad.

Hey yeah, I'd love to know why you guys wouldn't want to come down under! Nar I'm a bit concerned about the reaction is all... :\

[icbu]

Why not head down to Australia!? it'd be a rocking show!

[TheArchAngel]

Love Diggnation Hated this show Way to short and pretty much saw everything they showed on The Digg Reel

[donoram]

Ohh... some serious hate going on in this thread... but it's kinda founded.

While I heralded the beers returning I have the same three issues everyone else had;

1) Super short! Why are you doing so fewer stories?
2) Everyone realizes the mic was off so I'm sure it was some kind of major deal that just couldn't be fixed so they nixed it and went on with the show. Or at least that's my impression.
3) Sharing stories with The Digg Reel was kinda shifty, and did I mis-count or was nearly every story attached to a video with Kevin and Alex staring at their laptops, or the two of them surfing the web?

Still a great fan of the show! love it! But this ep... just... eh. Though the twitter anecdote at the end of the show was fucking hilarious!

[isamurai]

Kevin's anecdote at the end was hilarious.

Thanks for bringing the beer back guys, but 30 minutes? And then when Alex was like "another hour..." I looked at the time it was 24mins in. Live shows don't disappoint though ;)

[vahnx]

Which episode was the longest and shortest? I think once there was a 22 minute episode, and I'm pretty sure the 55 minute Reno episode was the longest.

[jks15]

I agree with TheArchAngel, I love Diggnation, but the episode kinda fell this week. Still pretty enjoyable though.

[dohko]

Is the thing they talked about twitter real?

[djoutlaws]

Which episode was the longest and shortest? I think once there was a 22 minute episode, and I'm pretty sure the 55 minute Reno episode was the longest.

The london ep was longest, the tape ran out almost! lol

[gobo]

the tracking thing? Yeah probably

[isamurai]

yes tracking is real, sms 'track ____" fill in the blank with whatever phrase you want to track

[Nikole]

I agree with TheArchAngel, I love Diggnation, but the episode kinda fell this week. Still pretty enjoyable though.

I agree, I can't imagine myself ever saying, "man this episode sucked", but I'm definitely wishing it was longer, much longer. I don't see what the rush is...

[Funkjomamma]

This week's episode of The Digg Reel is the ONLY one I've ever watched, so seeing Diggnation covering all the things I just watched was no fun. And it was way too damn short.

[donoram]

And then when Alex was like "another hour..." I looked at the time it was 24mins in.

That's so funny, I did exactly the same thing. Almost did a little double take. lol

[kontact]

yeah this episodes was really lame, like man, diggnation can be so good.

they flew through the stories without any commentary/off topic awesomesness that they usually do.. no one wants to just hear them read articles/descriptions.. or surf watch them surf the net for dinosaurs.

and bleh, the digg reel/diggnation stories have to be different.

PLUS they didnt even play the cat yodling which was the best part of that video.

[bitejr138]

Along with everyone else, I felt the episode was slightly lacking. Don't get me wrong, what WAS there was its usual entertainment, but there didn't seem to be much content.

Also, are the guys just not drinking as much anymore?? There were no beers last week...this weeks consumption lacked horribly, so what's the deal?! The jewels that pour out of Kevin and Alex's mouths after a buzz has been obtained is a major highpoint of the show...at least, for me.

Anyway, looking forward to the hilarity that is sure to ensue at the live show next week.

[GrinReaper]

I know St. Maarten has a place just like that.

You can check out the Sunset Beach Bar with live web cams.

[SecureTech]

That IS St. Maarten...FTW!!!

I just started screaming in the house and my wife asked what the @&(*# happened (since I was listening to Diggnation with headphones).

And yes, guys, the water is 100% real. Maybe now would be a good time to get the petition (re-)started for Diggnation Caribbean?

You guys fly down, I'll buy the drinks (at Sunset if you'd like :D)....

...also, I'll make sure she is there, and brings along some model friends :D (Sorry for the shameless plug).

And once again, everything is real in the pic.

I am thinking about buying this large lego looking star wars storm trooper figure and I want to know if anyone has seen it before or bought it before? I would also like to know if anyone has ever bought anything from this company's website. This aint no lego minifig this thing is one of the largest looking lego figures I have ever seen. There is no manufacture listed for this toy storm trooper. I really like the thing but I am not sure about buying from a company over seas in China. They look like a reputable company but I would feel better if I knew some one who has bought from them before. I can't find this collectible star wars figure anywhere else on the net and I really want it. Their website is www.LDUcompany.com and the link to their collectibles page is www.liangdianup.com/collectibles_1.htm

If any one out there knows anything about this big lego storm trooper please reply. Thank you :)
