Painkiller667 Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 Usually, as soon as an episode came out, I downloaded the xvid version right away to get the best quality of my favorite podcast but now, I don't even watch the whole thing if I'm streaming. It just isn't that interesting anymore, I mean they got a doctor to talk about sicknesses now? She did provide some useful information, but that doesnt belong on a "technology and comedy video podcast". Now don't get me wrong, im not "hating" on hak5, I just dont want it to fail as a podcast and lose its audience, because then it will be hard getting us back. I was going to post this in the suggestions forum for the show, but it's full of crap that isn't related to the show; also a thing that is out of place. Anyway, I feel that you guys just ran out of material, but still want to get credit for doing the show, so you post whatever crap you can to fill up the standard show time. Ocassionally you do find some interesting material but its not that saturated anymore. Look at my comment as a suggestion, not critisism, although in it is in a way. Quote
VaKo Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 TBH no, its just that the usb hacks are kinda hard to beat. Quote
Sparda Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 They are some thing to be more worried about indeed, suddenly, I want a version of my BIOS that has had booting from USB specifically removed ;) Quote
Guest Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 i felt the same after watching this one, it didnt have the content, bring on more of the hacks that you had in the first session. Quote
Darren Kitchen Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 I've said it before and I'll say it here too. This wasn't our greatest ep. Not every ep is going to beat the last one. Our primary focus this month was working on the ep20 special and 2x06. 2x04 isn't going to win any awards but it's better than a poke in the eye. Quote
Chalito Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Wow, i can't believe some of you feel this way. I thought ep 4 was good. Helped me figure out that I have a bad case of Tendonitus. And on top it was early. If it matters at all daren, i like the show and the direction you guys are taking it in. Keep it up. It could be worse, they could suddenly just stop making it with out telling anyone like the "from the shows" people did. They just randomly stopped after 6 episodes. HACK THE PLANET Quote
spektormax Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 eh well look I love hak5 and darren wess paul and alli (and all others) are cool guys/and gals, but well I donno you just can't beat some episdoes, this one looked rushed becasue darren would say bac to alli but there would be no alli. I mean yeh I guess its cool if 1 episdoe is bad, hopefully 5 will ahave the chainsaw. I donno I kinda agree could have been better, but congrads on the reilise hak5 team Quote
Keiyentai Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 I liked 2x04. Must get Doom for my DS now hehehe. Also I liked the little "Health Info" bit. Cuase I actualy have a case of carperal tunnel. THough its more due to other nerve damage but yea no need to go there. I liked it and it helps people who are 1: afraid to go to the doctor 2: cant afford to 3: to damn stuburn to at least look for warning sings instead of "OMG! My Wrist hurts! I have carpal something a do dad! OH NO!" Quote
Rab Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 yeah i gotta agree on this one. good - rss alarm clock bad - drinks cabinet...nothing to do with anything? does it talk, is it evil? so.. might watch 24 instead starting january, all of their episodes are good :p Quote
KoR_Wraith Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Quit complaining, no one's forcing you to watch it :roll: Quote
a5an0 Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 yeah i gotta agree on this one.good - rss alarm clock bad - drinks cabinet...nothing to do with anything? does it talk, is it evil? so.. might watch 24 instead starting january, all of their episodes are good :p The cabinet was cool as hell. Drink enough, and the bitch starts hacking EVERYTHING. You win some, you lose some. I still love the show. If theres something that you would like to see (be specific, not just "hacks"), then I'm sure Darren, Wess, Alli, or any f the other hak.5'ers would look into it. I <3 Hak.5 Hackthe Planet Quote
Guest ABC Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 hey was waiting till the 5th, didnt realise it was out :P Quote
OtterFox Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 I liked season 2 episode 4. I thought it was quite good. Quote
Quile Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 I love hak5 but i agree.. I mean they got a doctor to talk about sicknesses now? She did provide some useful information, but that doesnt belong on a "technology and comedy video podcast". Quote
cooper Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 I love hak5 but i agree..I mean they got a doctor to talk about sicknesses now? She did provide some useful information, but that doesnt belong on a "technology and comedy video podcast". When it refers to a technology-related illness, I respectfully disagree. RSI is bit in IT. Having someone explain the issue as well as a quick test to see if you should worry is invaluable. It's a shame so few people see it as such. Quote
Famicoman Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 If I recall a conversation I had with Darren, Hak.5 has episode ideas for the next 10 episodes, not containing time sensative data. Quote

take it take Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 Okay, I finally watched it and I don't think this episode is bad. The tidbit about RSI is interesting and maybe beneficial to some of us working in the tech field. Quote
thetron Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 Hak5 doesn't mean everything needs to be about modding your calculator! Did the screensavers run out of ideas? Quote
degoba Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 Every show has its ups and its downs. Darren and wess have a right to drink and party too. They have a right to life. FOR GODS SAKE MAN GIVE THEM A CHANCE. WONT YOU PLEASE JUST LET THEM LIVE!! making a show like hak5 takes alot of work. Some eps will be better than others. Thats just the way it is. Quote
l0gic Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 If for any reason, you are not 100% satisified with an episode of Hak.5, I will personally refund the entire purchase price up to its current MSRP of $0.00. I'll even throw in a swift kick in the nuts, completely free of charge. These guys (and gals) work damned hard to produce original content. God forbid you be exposed to a little variety. Quote
Loki Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 I enjoyed this episode, personally I thought that the segment on RSI was very informative. Quote
