Sweet jebus could they find people who knew less about a computer? And a co-host that’s any more stereotypical, even down to his voice.

How do these people get jobs like this? Surely they could have done another take, or at least thought it out a bit better? It was 10 minutes of “Go check the forums for updates, it does work look at this I can run a card game”. When they finally do get around to the nitty gritty and go and look in the drivers to see what it does and what it doesn’t yet do, they still don’t characterise it fully. And the last statement after stating at least half a dozen times that there are no video drivers he asks for a Doom 3 disk. So, it’s not only running without video acceleration but it’s an intel onboard GMA which won’t run Doom anyway.
And then they go encoding it for an ipod.. so it’s 44meg and only 270pixels wide. Ok, maybe Im just expecting too much, but there are sites that have less money and less swanky-pants equipment, yet, produce better quality stuff.

I love TWiT stuff, I listen to the podcast whenever I get a chance but this.. this just isn’t worth the wasted time.

A new series of Futurama due!

Quoted from Billy Wests own forums:

And the other good news is that they’re doing 26 new episodes of ”Futurama” for TV and we’re hammering out the deal now. The original plan was to have the DVD’s first but that’s no longer the case.

So, I know this was sort of confirmed a few months ago when they said they were getting the VA’s back in it again, but this is straight from the horses mouth (so to speak), so it’s definately-definately happening in 2007.

I literally cannot wait.
