Yet another awesome episode of Hak.5
Isn’t Wess looking more and more like Bono from U2 lately? The haircut, the glasses. Soon he’ll be wearing all black.
the show x09 was awsome ! it was worth the wait
Another great episode.
Longer eps are much better
Please start encoding show with x264.
Awesome. Just plain awesome.
thanks for this
Good to see you crazy guys at Shmoocon. Thanks for the Hak5 shirt …
Thanks for the podcast and covering Shmoocon Labs, looking forward to seeing you next year.
Very Nice…yes.
that was an incredibly boring episode
Speaking of XSS:

Boring? Whatever dude, I thought the entire Java script thing was informative and I definately payed attention to that one. And Wess hitting Darren made me laugh, although you guys both rule!
awww, GE:S again
when can dystopia
( http://www.dystopia-game.com ; its another team based hl2 mod) be the game of the month, id be down for that for sure
full disclosure: i helped make the thing so im a little biased
Good episode, great content, though the audio was tough to bear, and the in-between scenes in the park, etc. could use a little more rehearsal. Does the cameraperson always wear closed-ear headphones to check the audio? I can’t believe I would ever say this, but I would like to see h.264/X264 instead of/in addition to divx. I’ve been a divx/xvid fanboy for a long time, but I’m finally warming up to 264′s superior quality:bitrate ratio.
@Baddox,
there was and hasn’t been any rehearsal for a while now. all of the stuff at the park and around the house was done in one take, with the exception of the end bit on the sofa since wess and i were joking around.
as for h.264, the ipod feed IS h.264. starting with 3×01 we’ll be significantly upping the bitrate on that feed in order to make it look better on the appletv.
as for the divx looking sub-par, thats what happens when you encode nearly 90 minutes of video and try to make it under 400mb. i think the bitrate was somewhere in the 500′s. yikes. i normally shoot for 800-900.
hope that helps, glad you liked the show.
Nice epp, rather long but that can be bared with for your special. Had some good content. I much liked how it was a bit more advance this time like you used to have it back in season 1 cause lately its kinda been n00bified.
Also while your away on your 2 week break, maybe we can have a user content hak5. Were us the users can upload our own segments and then merge them to create an epp..
cause i would like to show off a few things, it could be fun.
need to give use high deffinition on you guys great ep
There better have been some shoutouts to the PaulDotCom crew…
