Hmmm...is anybody else having the same problem as biaachmonkie? All the files play fine on the several machines I've tried them on- and as far as I've heard nobody else is having problems viewing the show.

biaachmonkie- do other C9 vidoes present the same problem for you?

ARGH! The video like the first one that I pointed out is still horribly interlaced, its unwatchable.

It looks like the show will be a nice complement to "This Week on Channel 9".
Looking forward to watching it every week :-)

Much better than the last one :D If I was to complain about something in this episode it would have to be the very hard cuts... Think someone mentioned that it went a bit too fast during the techfest thing, but read your reason so guess that was ok. But, like the music, for example. The interludes. Especially the intro and the ending though. The intro ended a bit too abrubt I believe. Should maybe start fade down a bit before and fade out a bit longer? The ending was the most annoying though... Way to hard cut, haha. I was like, whaat? Not even a fade out? Was almost as annoying as that channel 9 ending that is in some various videos here... that psycho digital sound (can't explain it better) that suddenly starts, often in a MUCH louder volume than the rest of the video, freaking me out cause I have turned up my speakers for the rest of the video, and then its over.... aaanyways, i'm just nit-picking here :p Great job guys! Will continue to watch this one :)

(Btw: VERY ANNOYING that the 'Add' and 'Cancel' buttons doesn't work in Opera!! Please fix!)

Streetattack, is that Patrick Swayze from the Chris Farley sketch on your tattoo? You are multiple hilarious.

Much improved over episode one guys, I like it - it is like "this week on C9" but the segments are a nice addition. And you get bonus points for having Adam on! :p

Funny you should mention that video- it was just sent to me by a few others as well...could make a good discussion for next week, thanks Zeo!

sounds good :)
some time it would be cool to see a behind the scenes on channel9, how long does it take from redording to airing a show for instance? some shows like going deep seems to be shot well in advance and others like twoc i guess are shot pretty close to airing :)

i know ive posted about it before but a schedule of upcoming vidoes would be great too :) even if some of them are just like a days notice ahead :)

I think since we're all reviewing content from the past week, the longer it takes to get episodes out the staler the info gets. I'm going to shoot for Wednesday mornings right between Ping on Monday and TWoC on Fridays. Should make it easier for you to digure what to expect and when. Glad it doesn't bother you though :)

Allan Lindqvist — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 00:20:10 GMT

dont get me wrong, i dont think you guys are slacking of or something :) what i mean is, why tie one self down to a schedule like that, all the c9 shows are relaxed and loose and creative and i personally find it hard to be creative on a tight schedule :) some weeks it might be 2 weeks of material coming and the next week you got nothing to work with.. also, if you're really bogged down with other stuff, it'd be sad if you guys get extra stressed because you 'promise' a show every week :/

what i guess im trying to say is that i find the current model of weekly-ish pretty good but its kind of funny to call them 'weekly'
however that really not a serious issue at all,again its just nitpicking..
it just popped into my head :)

Care to be more specific? I doubt you lack examples......

Re: Weekly

I myself am still figuring out where to fit this in my weekly schedule, but I do think its worth tightening up. We should probably pick different days for each "Weekly" show. I'll send an email (and maybe it will show up on Ping!)

Congratualtions, this was much less annoying than the first one :)

That Mythbusters ad makes kittens cry. I mean, I'm kindof OK about Microsoft as a company, but it still sucks to see people you like shilling in an advert. I can imagine what the anti-microsoft lot will think of it - does anyone read slashdot any more? :)

That one is good, I forgot about that one. I really haven't seen any zune ads in a while though, what a shame. The only Microsoft ad I see is on the science channel about some surfing CEO...

Re: Re: Ping: Episode 2

Max — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 22:59:43 GMT

I like that one...

My all-time favorite is an ad we didn't even use (or make)... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTXa6Ztuu3s

That one gave me chills when I first saw it. Such a great use of music, camera angles, and simple special effects. It totally made me overlook the fact that a bird on the ground is probably not the best thing to put my earbuds on..... unless I want 20,000 diseases :P

Re: Ping: Episode 2

intelman — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 22:45:14 GMT

Microsoft Zune ads were all wack, I do not understand why they paid for but didn't use "Zune Raw Deluxe".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-va2OL_LnXk

I do like the new "I am a PC" / Life Without Walls ads. The rookie challenge is kind of lame and stupid though, at least in comparison.

Oh and Ping is still great :P I liked it before though. The changes didn't hurt though.

Max — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 21:58:58 GMT

Hah, some people weren't fan of the sticks so I nixed those..... but don't worry, they're in my pack along with tons of sheet music.

Re: Ping: Episode 2

Bas — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 21:55:47 GMT

What, no drum sticks? This SUCKS.

Seriously though, I liked this a lot more. I'm not quite sure how different this is from This Week On C9, but it's going in the right direction. Keep it up!

That Backside Touch thing reminded me of LucidTouch. In fact, it looked like exactly the same thing as LucidTouch, only smaller. What else is different about it?
Not a big fan of the Mythbusters ad... it looked way to scripted to me. The Rookies clips are awesome, though. If they shorten those down, and keep a lot of the weird offhand comments, they'd make great TV ads. Hey, they could do a two part thing where they don't show the results until after the next commercial. You can steal that idea for free, if you want.
