Production Notes

The white balance on our scan converter (little boxy thing that converts our laptop’s display into something the video mixer can use) was a bit off making some of the full screen video difficult to read. Thankfully (and thanks for MassiveH) we’ve got a new scan converter that should make everything look a lot more clear for next episode. Everything has been detailed in the Show Notes and feel free to post in the forums if you have questions.

    I’m looking forward to part 2 on the router.

    Good episode, audio is worst than usual though. Sounds terribly compressed.

    Will we expect more episodes to be released early or is this going to be the last will that comes out early? I dont mind i dont like waiting for your videos lol but i got use to it being every 5th of the month (unless something special)

  7. Administrator on January 30th, 2008 7:44 am

    @Scorpion,
    The 5th of the month is still the release date, however considering that 3×04 was terribly late I’ve made it an effort to get the last few out a bit early to make up for it. We’ll return to our regular schedule shortly.

    Wow, the production value of this episode is a HUGE step forward from all of your previous episodes! You’re much more professional and natural in front of the camera, and the between-segment clips are great. The intro is way awesome and drew me right in. Hak5 is all grown up now!

  9. Shinmaryuu on January 30th, 2008 6:01 pm

    Awesome show. Very geeky stuff which is always great. The production looks awesome (Good work portable studio :)). I think season 4 could be the big return to glory for Hak5 after a few misses here and there. You guys really are stepping up your game and kicking some major ass.

    Thank you for replying and i’ve watched the episode and its gd shame that im not in to Rock Band or the other one but there is nothing wrong with knowing things. I love the Keygen site im supprised i didnt find it. Looking forward to the next one.

    Nice FON tutorial…better late than never :-)
    I’m looking for part 2

  12. gaston on January 31st, 2008 7:53 pm

    hey guys i glad you made again a show like the ones i like. not interviewing a who-the-hell-is-he-whether-you-tell-me-his-name person for 40 minutes but yes giving us the tips for example we can access internet from the calculator, the iexpress, the wifi thing.

    keep it up
    yours

  20. Lethal255 on February 27th, 2008 10:17 pm

    How is the feedback on the new switches used in the rock band guitar? Are they silent like the one’s the strat comes with or do they click nicely like the guitar hero guitars?

Got something to say?
