Haha! Or just "Best Show" - is not a bad name for the show...

btw. could you guys make the screen recording record at a higher frames rate? I guess it was recorded Camtasia that did drop the FPS.

Make it so

Nice! I like this show.

But why make it look so depressing? Everything is dark. Lighten it up! Don't make it look as you're filming in a cubicle.

You guys should zoom in a little when you're in web-view of a video. Showing the Silverlight player in the page is great, looks cool, but you should zoom in a bit more so I'm not watching only 20% of the screen with a bunch of non-important stuff around it.
