So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

Ack! So many options! First you want me to get into podcasting, now make video for the web - where will I find the time? Another good episode, and I liked the idea of starting off simple with my dsc's movie mode.

I hit rewind about six times through the part where Christina talks about ffmpegx and kept asking myself "What the heck is she saying?". It's one of those weird names that is completely unintelligible unless you know what the person is saying ahead of time. Eventually I saw it in the show notes (because the name doesn't appear on screen during the five segment).
Good stuff guys.
Is the couch ever going to make a comeback?

Good web video should also have good sound. With all due respect, especially since your post is about producing good web video, you guys have got to start using better mic-age ... as is, your audio is echo-y and distant. An inexpensive lavalier or hand-held stick mic would do the trick - your production values would increase instantly. Best of Luck.
