That's what we call a dream, good sir. Accepting that you have a problem is the first step to recovery. ;)

The benefit of being a member is that you get to download Diggnation video edition on Saturday instead of Tuesday, like the rest of us. Oh and as a cop out, you are also supporting Rev3!

NO. The video generally gets released around 7 pm or 8 pm pst.

and Bman, in the podcast section it does say "Digg and Comment on 80 Episodes" under Diggnation. It would seem they just have a "story" for almost every week, 1 of them says "Diggnation is taking the week off" and another one is the snowboarding clip.

It is uploaded and you are able to stream it, but they have yet to make the link(s) available publicly.

Would we get in trouble for giving out the link?

For those people not able to figure out the path... is there any of those people here in the forum still? ;)

Harh Billy! Change all the numbers... all the numbers must change... except the 3! ... nudge nudge wink wink... and the zeros.

DiggNation makes me so happy that I don't have TV.... *sigh* returns to Quicktime..

I am assuming you still need be a paying member to get it at this point though right? we're not bypassing their "security" are we? Wouldn't want to be violating their subscription revenue deaiio... any one know about that? That would defn get you banned.

01-07-2007, 03:11 AM

I can do this for the mp3 version too right? Because that comes out at the same time to everyone and I don't pay because I don't have the money at the time.

Edit: I was doing this exact same thing earlier because it made sense but I didn't realize that you have to change the folder name too.

I wouldnt mind giving you guys the link but... I dont know who is a pay member and who isnt. So figure it out yourself or just wait.

This may be a bad idea argueing, once again, about the early download thing and I completely understand it. But can't one of you mods talk to Jay and tell someone to fix that so someone doesnt have the option to do it? If it means that much to them...You would think they would fix it.

Don't get me wrong here...I completely understand but just tell Jay to get someone to fix it so there is no "Early link."

lupin

01-07-2007, 05:35 AM

Well the thing is like Kevin said before I dont think they care. As long as you download from that link they keep a running total of downloads and that number gets fed to their sponsors which determines how much it cost to be a "add space" at the beginning of each diggnation and the end. But who cares, the episode is out now. Talk about it not early downloads.

lol, hockey fights start off like that? God that would be great if like that TV station like blew the lid off the whole hockey fighting thing :D

I do have one question though, I pay for Rev3 but I still get the episodes like at 8 or 9am on Saturday. Thats cool right? Either way I will still do it just curious.

maxputer

01-07-2007, 06:02 AM

Harh! I never would have considered grabing it off their own site "early downloading", I thought that sticky thread was about sharing it with non-subscribers prior to it's "public" release.... I did not think it had anything with pulling it off the rev site before 8pm... that's funny... I will have to re-read it.

I am assuming at this point from other peoples posts here that if your not a subscriber even with the link you cannot download it until Tuesday... which is good... (working as intended)

But I got to agree, if it's that big of a deal that people will get banned for sharing the URL with other subscribers prior to the links being put up on to the site than it's really a too tempting hole that should be patched.

IMHO, please dont ban me. ;oP

I aways keep on having to watch the episodes on Sunday or Monday (I pay for the shows, don't worry). I hate that I forget that diggnation gets uploaded on Saturday nights.

Neither-the-less I bet it will be a damn good show, like always.

Nope, there is no cookie verification or anything before cachefly serves the file. Just thought i'd clear that up.

Damnit Klitzy, I knew this was going to be suggested sooner or later. I think things are perfectly fine the way they are because of the somewhat odd schedule (http://revision3.com/forum/showpost.php?p=48884&postcount=8) I have.

Can we all just come to an agreement to not start any discussion on the new episode until it is publicly released Saturday night at the usual time? That way non-paying members won't be interested in where/how to download the episode?

Umm lets see other cool things in this episode... oh yeah The Woz and his crazy Two Dollar bills. Dude, I am so going to do that if I can get like Kinkos or some place to do the edges.

Also, damn I wish I could of been the one to donate that large sum to the Wiki. I mean I use it so damn much. People in my family always ask me how I know so much random shit and I tell them if Im watching TV reading a book or magazine or listening to music and they make a reference to something I dont understand I dive in on the Wiki article about it. Then I hit up a couple of other links and keep at that for about an hour or 2. That and IMDB :D

Normally I just say that was a good episode, or reply to certain topics created, but. That was the most funniest, amazing episode I have ever watched.

I was laughing my ass off the whole show, it renewed my love for diggnation (even though it didn't need to get renewed).!!!!! LOVED IT!

He said it was a .22 which I doubt since .22 fire is mainly used for Rifles/Hunting and Revolvers (starter pistols at track events). And I dont even think a .22 cartridge produces enough energy for Semiautomatic weapons or Double Actions. And unless the shot of a .22 is placed just right your biggest concern is going to be dying of lead poisoning if you dont get it out in time.

All though, the Zombie Survival Guide does recommend stocking up .22 rifles and Revolvers as the ammo is always plentiful and it produces virtually no sound if fired from a long barrel riffle. Plus the cartridge lacks the force the exit the other side of the skull, so once entered it will continue to ricochet around under it runs out of force. Perfect for slaying the undead ghouls.

Its a fast food chain on the west coast. Its kind of like taco bell except has other things like hamburgers and fries too. Its pretty good. Another fast food chain next to in-n-out burger that needs to come to the east coast.

Kevin was just all casual, "Everyone one was hopped up on meth" and "He pulled out a gun a shot at us" like it was no big deal.

crumbles

01-07-2007, 08:16 PM

Instead of trying to list all of their shit at the end of the show every time, why don't they just make a page like: www.digg.com/contact and put all of their 100 links up on there? Then, just tell everyone to go there for all their links to shit?

More than likely Kevin never knew, unless it came from a police report. I doubt he took the time to identify the weapon and the ammo.

crumbles, that is an awesome idea. I'm tired of hearing them go through the same half of their contact links.

lupin

01-08-2007, 04:59 PM

No im not tring to disprove his story or anything like that. Just when he said he was hit with a .22 I expected it either to be a story about him and a friend messing around with some rifles their parents gave them as kids or he had gone hunting with Dick Cheney.

Oh thats right, according to the comedy statute of limitation you can continue to make jokes about an elected official shooting someone and then the victim apologizing to the assailant/official for up to 3 years.

Woo hoo! My email got mentioned! I can die happily now.

When Alex and Kevin said that the email said "Oh behave" they were about half right. I mistyped "behalf" as "behave" which proves that I need to proofread everything I type from now on. Bah.
