Diggnation Episode 80 - Live at Macworld (Discussion)

[jeffchan]

Episode 80 is already uploaded and ready to download. Currently downloading. For some weird reason, even though it's recorded on January the 10th, the date on the file name is January the 11th.

Anyway, I wish I could've been at the live show =p

[bb4034]

edit: touché Aria. I will be quiet now. :)

[ariastar]

Can we please refrain from discussing the episode until it has been formally released at 7pm PT (10pm ET)?

Thank You.

Um, because it was live and a lot of people went and are going to be discussing it anyway.

[lupin]

No we cant.

Dude that episode was so awesome. I wish I would of gone to MAC World. Goddamnit I mean I live in Phoenix its only like a 4 hour drive I could of gone spent the day and come home. Damnit. But I did go to Video Games Live yesterday which kind of makes up for it.

[jeffchan]

Yea. I did get a pass and went on Friday. I didn't have time on Wednesday :(

[alexisthebest]

How do I download it? do i have to be a member? i don't even see the mp3 feed updated.

[klitzy]

Dudes....Sweet sweet episode!

[magunwarrior]

Oh my god that was an awesome episode.

I wish you could spell Mac right.

[darkpros]

Awesome episode!
Wish it would have been longer like the regular ones but never laughed that hard on any show! (Tree Goats, wtf...)

[lupin]

I wish you could spell Mac right.

I wish your first post on this forum wasnt one I would have to turn around and mock. Douche

[dragonbladev]

either it got removed till seven or something cause i dont see it up. and yes im a paid member.

[glugory]

If you understand the naming scheme for the files then it is COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE to get the episode early. COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE!

[ariastar]

If you think it's awesome to watch, try having been front and center! Yes, I was, and got pointed out (Heineken). It's wearing off now.

[yourestillmycaesar]

From Phoenix to San Francisco is 11 hours, at least, I don't know how you could possibly get there in four. Do you have a rocket ship?

Cuz I don't.

Take into consideration the time change, and I think it can be done. I've flown cross-country on direct flights in under 10 hours, not taking into account the time change. Phoenix to SF has got to be fewer hours, unless you're going through Reno, then Los Angeles, long, long layovers.

I cant see it either, and Im also a paid member.

Also, when you want the episode early, can you do it through the feeds, or does it have to happen directly?

[yashar]

Damn I wonder if I can see myself in this episode. Then I can say I've been on an episode of diggnation.

How come it says 1/11/07 ? It was filmed on the 10th.

Dude **** I thought it was in Vegas. And I dont ****ing know why. Like I was getting ready to say WTF its in Vegas thats how sure I was. But then again I thought CES was in LA till this year. Then hell I dont feel so bad at all for missing it. Yeah it would be like 11 or 14 hours. I feel stupid :confused:

[zenian]

Where is the download? :(

There's me.

[klitzy]

Hell yeah Aria....You are a hard core fan. Hopefully some day Ill get to come out to one.

If only they would do a live episode anywhere between March 17 - March 24....

Once again, thats sweet Aria.

[redwardj]

I dont even see he episode for download on the diggnation website do I have to be a paying member in order for the video to even come up?

[eminemdrdre00]

I wish the live episodes were longer! Its 20 minutes shorter then a normal episode.

[rowlodge]

i've never seen so many people come to a digg show!, next time you'll need a stadium.

[axisds]

Hey all, I blogged my entire MacWorld experience, Diggnation included, on my site. I have pictures and what not as well so check it out.

I don't know if it's okay to post this, but I thought this was hilarious.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=dg0agz4LhnY

My apologies if I wasn't supposed to do this.

[noxdineen]

Alex's little "I too am not left handed" comment won my heart completely.

I love, LOVE The Princess Bride with an embarrassing fervour.

[sparkmonkeyz]

Yay, I am hella in the episode like 4 times. I throw the shocker in the begining, kevin rose responds to me when I said that I would get the Apple Prius, and then at the end when we all jump in the camera, I am like right in front of it for a good 10 sec.

Oh wait, that is only 3 times. Oh well, quite literally one of the best days of my life. Especially getting to talk to my two idols.

[yourestillmycaesar]

Haha I assumed that after I posted, but I was pretty amazed by your 4 hours. Seeing as though I live near LA and can't get there that fast haha.

[crumbles]

Does anyone know the model of that Asus laptop that Alex was using?

[clark05]

That was an awesome show, but tooo short!

[g33k0ft3ch]

Funnest show ever. That episode made me bust my gut, but I think I busted it when Alex was doing the Oklahoman accent.

[axisds]

Does anyone know the model of that Asus laptop that Alex was using?

It's the ASUS R1 I believe here (http://event.asus.com/2006/nb/r1/eng/) is the R1's site. It's arguably the best tablet out right now. Tuns of power for a tablet (I own an ASUS z96j and love it).

[buddyjr7]

One of the funniest. They are great live!

[magunwarrior]

The tree goats story was priceless, this is what the internet was made for, well...and porn of course.

[sparkmonkeyz]

At the end of the show, when everything was done, Kevin and Alex were like, "ok, were going to make them wish they didn't invite us. alright, at the count of three, were going to start out quietly chanting porn, and then get louder and louder... one, two, three. porn Porn POrn PORn PORN PORN!!"

It was so awesome. And you have to remember that there was like 2 thousand people there, at the diggnation show alone.

We sat next to this one guy on the train home, who had been at MacWorld that day, and he said that everyone on the floor was wondering why there was so many people chanting porn over from the corner.

[bman]

lmao simple awesome....can't say more lol

[antorobertson]

Yea episode was pretty sweet, altho it was really really short like wat? 2, 3 stories or so? Over all was good. Good work guys.

They only had the area from 4 to 4:50 iirc. They had to set up, do the show, and get out of there before the next group had the room.

[noxdineen]

They should have used the Diggnation-mob to hold the space longer. Screw this "Canadians are too nice" nonsense, I would have taken at least 2 security guards down. 3 if I'd had a few beers.

Diggnation was the last group for the day, so I don't know what you are talking about.

[p_frank]

Good show, a bit short, but what are you gonna do?

[ch28-kid]

very disappointed because it was so short.

i was hoping for 50 min of fun!

alex is really really really funny!

[bman]

it was a good episode but i was also dissapointed. I thought since it was macworld it would of been even longer then 50 minutes..but still a good show

[burgerboy06]

anyone else see the ASUS laptop Alex had? Its the only laptops I will ever buy. Trust me, if you are in the market, and you can't afford a mac, then get an ASUS.

[big_h]

It was a great episode, and this just made it so much better. :D

[kowgod]

Ok, so, like, what the ****... what was the average age of the audience? From the shots at the end, it looked like all 12 year olds or something!

I wish I had been there, to drunken brawl with them all.

[bman]

i didn't even pay attention at the end, they do look kinda young.

[vahnx]

Hehe paused it and got a funny shot. This was a good live episode. Can't wait for the new 360 and iPhone.

Best Fackin' Show To Date!

Nox, You're such a mean drunk!

[noxdineen]

Nox, You're such a mean drunk!
I'm only first generation Canadian, from an Irish family. The Canucks haven't polished the urge to flail out of me yet. ;)

Actually, I'm a super fun drunk, unless there is Jim Beam involved. That gets out of hand.

A riot at MacWorld would have been hilarious, though.

[darklighter]

Hey, is this you? http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/4972/untitled1mr2.jpg

OMG! Look at all those people!!! I SOOO wish I could have been there. I'm definitely going next year! Hopefully it's not the same time as CES again though. :mad:

[darklighter]

Yeah, too short, but when you think about it, from the comfort of the couch, I think it's easier to go off on tangents and things... They got to the stories a lot quicker in this episode. Not sure if the crowd is the reason but that's my guess. Staying focused and all that, because they're in the spotlight, ya' know?

Personally, I like most of the stuff they babble on about because they're so funny.

[-mk-]

Looked like one happening sausage party. :D

Yea same here, I enjoy there little talks about random crap, its funny and interesting.

[cerealkiller]

OMG my chest ended up hurting from laughing too much. One of the best to date.

[cool8man]

That was bizarre how they were at MacWorld yet Alex spent 90% of the episode talking about Microsoft products and explaining how cool they were to all the Apple fanboys. Alex has balls. Extolling the virtues of Xbox 360's video download service, MS's IPTV service, Windows Vista group photo, and then Office 2007 all while showing off your brand new smoking hot Tablet PC. F-ing awesome.

"iTV is a Linksys Media Extender from 3 years ago." That made me :D more than anything. Apple TV will sell not simply because the average person won't buy a game console, but because a lot of people have already invested way too much money in the iTunes store and there is simply no other way to stream the content to your TV. This is why I will never buy anything from iTunes because I know that it will only put me at Apple's mercy for the rest of my life.

[magunwarrior]

Well Alex is after all a Microsoft fanboy as much as Kevin is an Apple fanboy.

[shadowbird712]

I hate calling anyone a fanboy for anything (except myself; I'm such a Samus Aran fanboy :o ).

Alex did show some "intestinal fortitude" extolling Microsoft products on Apple's home territory, though, but he does have a point...Microsoft doesn't do everything wrong (Halo games), and Apple doesn't do everything right (Newton).

[jedimindtricks]

Most def. this was one of the funniest show to date, Alex is a trip. The Mac World intro was awesome. Are you guys thinking of making a Washington DC trip anytime soon.

[magunwarrior]

A Washington DC area trip would rock the house.
