I think it’s fantastic that you got a sponsor – and better yet, a non techie one (no conflict of interest).

Great show! Keep it up – and does snubs really speak Japanese? Too cool.

I agree with overall comments… in addition:

- Evil server jokes at the intro are absolutely hilarious! I LOVE IT.
- The show is funnier and more relaxed (totally agree) than before
- This new guy on set he is good, keeps the mood light
- THANK GOD you guys are back i thought i wasn’t gonna see anymore after season 3

OK, I feel that really there aren’t that many advertisements. I also think that season four is so far the best season I have seen, I’ve been watching since 2×03. Everyone on the Hak.5 team keep up the good work! I love this show!!!

Sponsors are great as long as they dont take over the show. don’t think it is much of a problem especially since your getting a dose of Techno Lust once a week rather than getting your fix that lasted about three days then you ended up wanting more and after about a week you are Jones n’ so bad you actually start watching G4 again. don’t get me wrong Olivia is great to look at but some people want more. besides they don’t have Shannon she is way better.

Love the shows guys keep up the great work and Cheers!

I agree with both Paul and Darren

…Yes, those constant ads, etc are really annoying, but hey, at least you can skip them. Which would you rather: Sponsor driven quality or non-sponsored pixellated footage just wanking on about WEP Cracking?

Darren’s the same as he ever was – he’s always gonna be that energetic little kid that we all want to be – just sometimes more than others, that’s life.

P.S. Darren, you’re funnier drunk (RE: Live webcast a few months back).
P.P.S Darren – was it deliberate that the image of ep404 links to a dead link to bring up a 404 error?

@Paul Barnes

I read your comment and I don’t think you’re being fair.

Sponsors are a necessity to supporting the show, going weekly, HD, and consistent. We have the same amount of advertising as we did last season, albeit with five times the episodes. The content/ad ratio is still 10:1. Compare that to network television at 2:1!

I’m perfectly relaxed on camera and I’m sure as we move to a new studio where we don’t have to waste a lot of time and nerves building and breaking down a set we’ll be even more energetic. As for getting stoned, no — I’m perfectly happy doing the show sober, thanks.

Cheers,
Darren

Well, in their defense it wasn’t that great 3 years ago either. Alright content, but you’d think after 3 seasons they’d sound less awkward and scared of the camera. Makes watching cringe-worthy

This show is so lame now compared to 3 years ago. It’s all about sponsors and Revision3 now. Gay….
