New to Diggnation and commiting to watch all episodes

[pfmbsantos]

First of all, hey guys, I'm new here.

I'm 'ashamed' to say that only three/four days ago I saw my first Diggnation episode.
I had already hear about Diggnation (and obviously about Digg.com), but never really got around to watch it. The only thing I've seen in the past from Revision3.com was some Tekzilla eps, but only now with CO-OP I registered (I was a huuuge The 1Up Show fan) and started to browse around and after watching that "best of" clip from Diggnation where they see the clip with Conan and Louis C.K. I went and downloaded one episode. Loved it so much, that in these 3/4 days I've watched around 10 episodes, 5 of them kind of recent, and after those I decided to watch them all from the begging -- it's not like I ain't got nothing else to do, it's just that the guys are THAT entertaining.

Sorry for the crappy thread.

nice to see that people are still discovering the show... and if you like the recent episodes you'll probably love the older episdoes (episodes 1-100)

I have to say my favorites where about episodes 100-150. Not that the ones coming out now are bad.

[masterq]

Heres my run down on the episodes to help you find the best ones for you:

Based on Geekiness (in Technology)
Geeky: 1-100
Very Geeky: 1-50
Mostly Mainstream: 100-150
Mainstream: 150-present

Based on BAC - this means drunken rants, spills, saying things they might regret, etc.
Stone Sober (tea or 1 beer): 150-present
0.04: 100-150
0.08: 50-100
0.12: 1-50

this may help someone or it may just be a waste of 5 minutes for me, but whatever... enjoy :p

I've already watched shows from all over those "intervals" and actually I don't really care what topics are being talked about (or else I wouldn't watch shows with 3-year-old news) or if they're plastered or not, since I honestly think both guys click sober or drunk.

I can honestly say that with this noob perspective, and from what I WATCHED, the quality of episodes is about the same throughout the years (I've watched like 40 by now -- it was a lazy Sunday, and watched/listen them while playing PES lol).

well a people are saying that diggnation has lost its way or something like that (not IMO, I love the show) so after you get through them and they are all fresh in your head then let us know if it has changed for the better or the worse

[vahnx]

LOL if you think about it, watching every Diggnation episode is about equal to watching the entire Sopranos series twice over since it's about 80 Hours S01-06 I think for Sopranos, and Diggnation episodes range from 30-50 minutes usually (once or twice i think like 25 mins!)

This will be an interesting and LONG task! You should definitely write a review to whether or not you think the show has changed for the worse after seeing them all so close!

Good luck!

A couple of months ago I watched all from episode 1 right through to episode 178 i think...

And I can tell you that it has definitely changed... that's why im so happy with this latest episode.

Don't be ashamed! But you're going to get burned out trying to watch them all in a short time. MasterQ wrote up a good "guide" to the episodes. The ones before 150 were the best, with the ones under 100 being my faves. Since 150 I'll admit I can take them or leave them. It's no longer a matter of utmost urgency to catch new episodes, and missing one altogether is no longer the end of the world. I miss the geekiness.

Did you see the latest episode, out of interest, AriaStar? If so, did you think it was back like the good old days as well?

Welcome to the community pfmbsantos, stick around there's plenty of cool people here :)

My favorite was the Laptop with a Crank / Sheep Herder episode.
Anybody happen to remember which episode that was?
