Ahhh...a preposter. Such a sad disease.

[travislopes]

I posted it because I figured out what the link is. I figured I would go ahead and post it because it's easy to figure out the URLs are for the actual video files.

But the link is dead? Sadly it just makes this thread pointless now (due to all the posting on it). ha ha

Maybe this thread demonstrates why you shoudn't post links or discussion threads before the episode comes out.

That being said, this is a pretty great episode.

is this the damn show or not, a simple yes or no will do

and
why the fuck dont you leave that to the damn people that are fucking paid to do it

it stops the damned confusion

[stevenbullen]

@ForkFromOuterSpace
Thanks

Exactly

I would of quoted but this forum is just not user friendly.

Yes it is. I think he gets the point about how much confusion this causes.

Remove them if you can. If its better for diggnation/revision3 then def remove them.

I plan on downloading it again when it gets released. What happened to the 6PM EST Time Release? No announcement?

[gimpbully]

There was an announcement, it's earlier in this thread. 6pm pacific

[fantom88]

There was no announcement until half an hour after it was supposed to be released. That announcement said 10 minutes and then 20 minutes later it was 6PM PST.
Whats the deal?

[gimpbully]

It will be released at 6pm PST. We are doing our best to get it to you, please bear with us.

Not a big deal that it is delayed... after all, things happen and... it's free. However, you can't blame us impatient babies that have to have it now. lol Consider it a compliment from the fans that we are impatient. WE WANT DIGGNATION!!!

[stevenbullen]

WTF where is it :(
Erm if im not mistaken 6pm PST is an hour from this post.

[rjohnson94]

I can't believe it's not available yet. 20 after 8. Over 2 hours late and nothing about it on the website. Messed up.

Umm, do you know what time zone you're in? Do you realize what "PST" means? If you're in "EST", then add 3 to PST.

So...6PM PST == 9PM EST.

Just wait 40 minutes.

[stevenbullen]

@travislopes
Cheers

I have seen it already from the earlier leaked links.

Quality episode.
In a brewery... what more could you ask for.

[compdude414]

It's finally up now.

What about iTunes? I just checked and no dice there.

[daviddelony]

Kevin's goggles made me think "Are we not Men?"

[glennmc]

Dang, I saw 40 responses on this episode and was like, sweeet, what did the viewers have to say? Did they like it? How was the audio? We had someone clean it up so it was more tolerable due to the brew noise in the background.

And then - I read through 4 pages of peeps complaining about where and when to download the episode. Lame.
Oh well. I guess it's more fun to write about frustrations and complaints than it is to give constructive feedback.

Tis all coolio though - hopefully everyone is happy it's all finally out!
Cheers,
Glenn

[therage800]

I was thinking something similar Glenn, was like "4 pages already?!" Well, anyway, here's some constructive feedback for you, I don't know what you did to the brewery noises but you did a good job, I couldn't really hear that much background noise at all.

And for anyone like Kevin who can't figure out how to enable file extensions in Vista, click Organize, choose folder and search options, and then the view tab.

[arraz]

Yeah, great episode. Not as drunk as last weeks, but maybe they shot last weeks the same night/day as this one, thus the drunkness... and hunger for steaks.

The audio is a little weird. The silence is muted completely so you get ups and downs from the ambient noise of the brewery.

Did Kevin seem just a little bit jerky? I am a mac fan boy, but I was much to Alex's side on this episode. Seemed Kevin was being just too ignorant on purpose...




Also, was anyone able to find the "behind the scenes" on Michelob's website? The Diggnation link simply refers back to the REV3 website.

Did they make a special one for diggnation? because if not the link is here... http://www.michelob.com/UnderstandingBrewery.aspx

@glenn
An amazing job with the sound. You could really tell the difference when you moved the camera around how much background noise you really had.

[joebounty]

If anyone wants to see more pics of those birds you can see them at the link below.

http://iwishicouldfly.com/iwishicouldfly/journal/html/053007.htm

The guy talks about how his pics got lifted then he got comments (both good and bad) from all over the place. I read the wiki on the birds (Red-Winged Blackbirds) and didn't see anything about them taking rides. I did read that they attack birds larger than them so I'm gonna say that was an intimidation move instead. This is, of course, unless I completed missed something on the wiki.

Also... great episode! My advice is that Hippie Glenn should hit it and quit it haha.

[idris]

I like Alex and Kevin clashing over Microsoft / Apple. I tend to side with Alex (though to be honest they appeared to conclude the pointlessness of the debate by agreeing that it comes down to personal preference) as I don't feel Kevin (or anyone) has really made a compelling argument of the benefits of a Mac compared to a Windows machine. Plenty have said that OSX (and it's the OS superiority that many seem to believe sets Apple apart) is more intuitive and makes working more efficient but I'm struggle to see the justification of the several hundred pound price difference between the two (looking at it the base Mac Book Pro laptop is £1,300 whilst an similar spec windows laptop would be around £700).

Having bought a PS3 to avoid the RROD, I had the BluRay drive die on me a while back (which isn't that uncommon (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=PS3+drive+dead)). The warranty procedure was a little smoother than the XBox 360's (two days after phoning Sony a doorstep exchange was made). The only complaint is that the refurbished replacement feels a little more worn than the fairly new one I handed over.

[kellogg]

i love this show!!

[famous1107]

Control Panel, Folder Options, View, uncheck Hide extentions for known files types.

Control Panel, User Accounts, Turn User Account Control on or off

[jayunsplanet]

Nice episode. Good banter.

Looked but didn't find. Kinda like the different features in Vista and OS X and the confusion on how to turn things on/off...
There is a "Diggnation" link on the Michelob website under "Inside our Sampler Pack".. but it just takes you to the DN site on Rev3.

[ohhoe]

Wow, this thread is full of whiny bitches.

[xm8seven]

The sound was done really good in this episode, and I like the content (as usual). :)

[kevingelinas]

[QUOTE=Famous1107;438916]Control Panel, Folder Options, View, uncheck Hide extentions for known files types.


or hit the ALT key in any folder window and watch the magic.

You can't put lipstick on a community organizer and expect it to be a presidential candidate

[darlyn]

We Are Devo!

Anyway, in the credits, one Tyler Brown is listed as the Audio Mixer. Intern? New crew member? Since when has Glenn needed an additional person to correct the audio? Although, the audio was a bit odd at times (specifically when Kevin and Alex stopped talking.)

[vash]

Niiice Foxy Glenn haha. Atta boy.

[radzack]

Foxxxxy Glennson

[msmags]

Wow, this thread is full of whiny bitches.

Hahahaha, I was going to say the same thing.

Great episode guys. I tried to get that Michelob sampler, but of course, not available in Canada (at least not where I live). :(

I liked the banter, and it's good to see more of hippie. :D

[bradm]

For those of you looking for the Brewery Tour Video we are sorry for the inconvenience but there has been a bit of a delay. We should have it up on Michelob.com within the next few days. We will post back here as soon as it is live.

It is definitely worth checking out. Glenn did a great job putting the Tour Video together. It was really impressive to get the behind the scenes tour of the beer making process from Florian, one of the Michelob Brewmasters.

[jon9531]

its not a huge deal or anything but i was wondering how come episode 168 doesnt show up on the main Rev3 diggnation page. i know that its out and i have already watched it but i was just wondering if its a temporary bug or if i mysteriously am the only one getting the main page with episode 167 listed as the new episode.

I see 168.

That's odd, I see 168.

[rowlodge]

i could swear this was filmed at the "umbrella corp." and those guys behind the steel pipes were zombies.

[zianian]

I lost count this week but I do think it was a record setting show.
Alex asked (rhetorically I believe) "ya know what I mean?" more this week then I have ever heard him ask/say it before. :(

You CAN stop Alex...if you try.

btw...
it was a real good show ;)
know what I mean?

[fitchtec]

Since they couldnt find how to view the file extensions heres how you do it. It's actually really easy to find if you look.

In any folder click Organize > Folder & Search Options
View Tab
Hide extensions for known file types

[ownaqe]

Pretty good episode, not as funny as last weeks but I still enjoyed watching it

[xfuuey]

yikes alex. i'm surprised you don't know how to enable such a thing, for an avid computer user (not like he even reads the diggnation forums)
...but - is it me or is that a pretty common knowledge type of thing to do/enable

didn't realize people still keep the default setting to have their file extensions hidden?!? :eek:

[frigginrandom]

great episode. I see all my file extensions.. Ne ways.. Michelob is not my favorite but it is good. Keep the diggs coming.

[maxhdrm]

I am so disgusted with the amount of baby wining from half-wits in this forum. If you check the homepage of Rev3 to see if the actual show is available then you would have this problem.

Better yet just sign up for the RSS then you can simply check your RSS accounts for when the actual show is released. The interns are their to do a job and to put the theories they have learned to good use while attending school. If you looked up the definition of interns then you would know that most do not get paid for "donating" their precious time.

LAY OFF!! they are doing their best for something that is not an exact science. If you don't like it go elsewhere. No one is forcing you to stay but I guarentee you won't find half as good as talent as Rev3 for the genre of what they do.

If all you have to do is complain then go get a job. you obviously have too much time on your hands.

Not one of their better episodes but very informative as far as the tester pack beer. I am curious now.

valid points but not as valid as this, you maxhdrm need to get over yourself your not that important

[bradm]

The video for the Michelob Brewery Tour with Kevin and Alex is now live on Michelob.com. Sorry for the delay. Check it out here:

[xfuuey]

agreed. :D

[tylerhowarth]

The main problem with this thread is that someone (non-employee) posted a discussion thread for an episode that wasn't even released. It is our job to make sure these threads get posted and we don't mind fans starting the threads themselves. I hope that people look at this thread and will learn to not ruin an entire episode discussion before the episode is even released.

I am sorry people had to read the whining in this thread but hopefully it won't happen again. Thanks for understanding.

also: Good job to Glenn on the Michelob tour!

[therage800]

i could swear this was filmed at the "umbrella corp." and those guys behind the steel pipes were zombies.

Well I would have found the tour to be more interesting if it were at Umbrella.
