Links are for chumps. Winning is for losers. It’s the show where you talk about things for stuff in objects with attributes. It has people in it, vocalizing in predetermined paths of amplitude and frequency. Quite possibly the worst podcast ever. But who cares?
This one has RadioNed, Brian Masi, BaS, and Senor Cardgage. We talk about tea and non-tea, DVDs, hot cereal, the No Agenda Chat, wuxia movies, the Canadian Navy, and teaching things to people.

The DVD menu thing drives me nuts. Here’s something else, with little exception, it used to be that only rental movies would have previews. The idea being to get you to rent other movies. If you BOUGHT the movie, they’d hide the previews away in a menu. You’ve paid to support the movie, they’d not force these commercials on you.
Now it’s all “hey, here’s 50 preview no matter what!”.
Just wait till they start putting regular commercials on your DVDs.

Just wait until digital delivery is absolute king! Salvation? No.
They’ll still lock you into watching previews, ads, and FBI warnings. Only then, you won’t even get the kick out of watching decade old previews for movies that you’ve got some sort of nostalgia for when you play one of you’re old favorites. You’ll be treated to the latest shovel-ware that passes for film delivered live over IP. What a bright future we have.

Yeah.
Or when they take the idea presented for online games where there is an in game billboard with updated advertising. They could easily apply the same principle to a digital copy of a television show. Background Billboards could automatically be replaced etc. Heck, you could shoot a film using say, blue cans as place holders then randomly swap the character’s favorite drinks for Coke and Pepsi each week depending on who wants to pay more. Just re render that portion of the film and push it out as an “update”.
