I just wanted to let evryone know that because of InDigitals Home Theater contest I have a lot of catching up to do with my brother who was notified that he won Wil Wheatons System! big jerk....I love the guy but he already has a awsome home theater in his living room That I was envious of...now this.....jeezzz.....

Wow, I was really excited to see who won (hoping that I still had a chance.) I had hoped they wouldn't call the contest winners till after the show aired because it totally takes the suspense out of it when the info is leaked like that.
I know you are all excited Mr. My-Brother-Won-The-Hotness, but I am telling you that you officially ruined it for me. Even know I am married and have a little baby, I still get excited about contests and fabulous prizes. Who doesn't?
Thanks for letting us know that Santa is dead and you ate the Easter Bunny.

Wow! I couldn't believe when that guy said his brother won Wil's system! My brother won Wil's system too! I thought that only one person won Wil's system, one won Jessica's, and one won Hahn's.
So, either this means:
A) The rules weren't clear
B) Either you, I, or both of us are full of crap
C) You are my brother.

Well if matthewyunk was being serious, then if you haven't received a call/email that means you didn't win.
Thanks for ruining it, man. Let's hope you're full of shit.

I'm thinking he is since Will's brother and wife also appeared to have one.
My brother also won my system, and so did his wife!
And on a side note I'm holding off on buying a HDTV with my tax refund just incase I happen to win. :)

I am also holding off on getting anything until I see if I am a big winner! I recently (4 weeks ago) had my guitar stolen. (Taylor 310ce)
So, if I am not a winner at least I can can get myself an Archos with the insurance money... if there I get the insurance money. That will kinda make me feel better.... -tear-
Every time I receive a notification that I have a new email in the last week, my heart starts pounding.... then I see that it is Circuit City. Those idiots! They send me no less than 5 emails a week about the amazing savings... that were the same as the AMAZING savings last week and the week before... None of which are anything to notify the general public about.

TBH I don't even care if I won. I just want a new episode. :(
So diggnation comes out every Saturday night? And I am guessing In Digital is bimonthly so is their any set day or time or anything? Or is it just whenever the moon hits the sun just perfect?

01-19-2007, 07:23 AM

The chances are what one in a lot, since so many people who don't watch the show most likely entered.
So in the end I just want a new episode. :(

They should have hidden a secret code throughout all of the next month's podcasts which would lead to a website that would verify if you were the winner or not.
This would increase viewership, sponsorship, and would be fun for the viewers. More fun than this waiting.
PS: If I've won anything, I didn't write this... It was the guy whose brother won that wrote it.

Ah yes, the ability to endure waiting, delay, or provocation without becoming annoyed or upset, or to persevere calmly when faced with difficulties. Thanks why-key.
This is indeed once of those times when we need to call on our inner strength and "chill that ***** out." (ala Pulp Fiction) I have to say that this week has been one of the most exciting and grueling weeks this year.
I am getting the feeling that I/we won't be seeing this ep today... or this weekend... perhaps Monday or Tues. Probably do to some major technical encoding or backup issue.
I have full confidence they have their crap together. We have all had to do something similar - holding something back because of some difficulty that is beyond your control - and it suxs to be on their end.
It is 7:45pm EST which means that it is close to quiting time out on the wc. Go home guys.... we will all live through the weekend, I assure you.
I really appreciate all the effort in providing all of us nerds and geeks with kick ass free content.
Now.... bring on the prizes!

@ Tokenuser,
I'm in favor.
It baffles me when people act as if something is owed to them when it coms to prizes and/or free services.
I.e these people here http://yhbt.mine.nu/ "Dattebayo" as a free service sub the anime series of Naruto, and as a joke every so often the will post a false "Naruto will be delayed" followed by YHBT for those who don't know that means (You Have Been Trolled) just to see how many people will send hateful e-mail and complain on how long it is taking...
Any who I am just thankful that people like those of Revision3 and even Dattebayo as mentioned earlier just let it roll off there shoulder and keep on moving..
P.S. If any of those begging for show release etc are not a donating member you should have your eyelids cut off and fed sleeping pills. cough hmmm dunno where that out burst came from /grin ;)

forget all this I messed up........to all who read this and replied to this post and all site administrators .....If I inadvertently screwed up this contest I would be crushed...this site is one of the best and has provided me with information and entertainment that I would not give up for anything you guys absolutely rock....as a webmaster for a large corporate entity, I myself understand the need to release information on the schedule that is set and to follow guide lines set forth by the contest administrators and sponsors, I was completely unaware of of any timetable for releasing the contest winners and would have never posted the comment that I did had I known.....Please do not penalize the winner of this contest on my rash reaction to the good fortune of the winner...call me a sore loser......

That means they can't take 30-45 seconds out of their day to come online and post an update or explain the delay?
I don't know how many times I have to say this... I know I'm not expecting everything to be perfect around here, but if they would take the half a minute it would take to post on the main page or on the forums that there's a delay and they're aware of a problem(yes, I realize Wil responded, but that was days ago and even he said it would be out soon), and give us a just a little information, you wouldn't get threads like this all of the time. And really the only reason I made my response to this thread was because of TokenUser's response... the reason it provoked me was because I don't think they should be *****ing about our *****ing unless they actually keep us in the loop.

Keeping everybody updated, I'm ashamed to admit, is my responsibility and I severely failed. I considered posting something, but we just kept running into delays in post production. The original release day was the 17th, then a clicking noise from a hard drive killed that plan. The release date was sliding every few hours as we tried to catch up. In the future, I'll do better keeping everybody up to date.

I feel bad "criticizing" InDigital because really it's an issue that plagues Rev3 as a whole, and out of the entire staff/show hosts, you are easily the most active and connected with the fanbase.
