Podcast - This Is Only a Test
Episode 86 – Like a Samurai – 9/29/2011
On this week’s episode, Will complains about analog metaphors, Norm wonders if there’s ever a bad time to Tweet, Alexis explains the ins and outs of wiki design, and Matt describes a Canadian bus ride. All that, plus WinPho 7 Mango finally appears, iPhone 5 rumors, the TiVo Premiere Elite appears, wireless networks that monitor your breathing, and another edition of fake outtakes.
Addfwyn just commented on your Blog: “The iPad… It’s been jailbroken”.
“Honestly, I can’t think of anything worth jailbreaking the iPad over that you can’t do via legit avenues. Seriously, pulling a total blank here.”

Hopefully there’s some Amazon talk
I hate being in work on a Thursday. I keep missing the live stream.
The Konami code will send you to the Contra page from anywhere on Giant Bomb
I was hoping to dig deeper into norm 🙁
The embiggen button is a perfectly cromulent feature.
I would like the new site background as a wallpaper as well.
Me too.
It’s only when Gary’s not on the podcast that I realize how much I like his input. Still a good podcast though.
3 dollars an hour for parking?? Fuck that’s cheap.
Just today I payed 25 Euro for 5 hours of parking. That’s something like 33 Americabucks.
OMG the Konami code works on the giantbomb site!
This is one of the many reasons why I love whiskey media.
Making breakfast and listening to this podcast has become my Friday tradition.
I understand why theres no video archive. Subscriber benifits and all that. I just hate missing the live video.
“I don’t want to talk to the phone.”
“What about the hand?”
That was goddamn brilliant Will, fuck the haters.
Fantastic quote from Will,
“by the time you buy a van, you pretty much don’t care about how you drive”
Beautifully said.
When people buy a van from a dealership, immediately after, their license should be taken away, on the spot. To reference Seinfeld, Driving a van is like wearing sweatpants in public, you’ve pretty given up on life.
Yes that made me laugh.
What’s the herman miller chair will was talking about?
I really like the new design of the Tested website and really really like that it works better with the iPad.
“I would retire from Stargate too, because that show sucks ass.” – Will
The list of reasons I dislike your opinion on anything lengthens. But you don’t give a shit, so that’s why I like you.
Would have been a good name!
In continuation of my previous comment, if only we could get Will/Norm to eat an egg on something they say that is already wrong, rather than only potentially wrong in the future.
+1!
Would be very cool if you guys could upload that somewhere 🙂
NAWMcast!
Greyhound murder was pretty raw. Just read the Wiki entry and the details are definitely not for the squeamish.
Hey Will, I agree with EVERYTHING you said about Terra Nova. Especially the family drama. It was just super awkward. Didn’t they figure out that awkward drama was an instant fail with Stargate Universe? Also.. Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis.. Not crappy shows.. You should definitely give them more of a chance. Once you get to know the cast you get sucked right in.
I’m wondering who’s the bigger Apple fanboy, Gary Whitta or… Will Smith?! LOL.
Seated.com would make an awesome chair website.
Here you go!
Had no idea what this ginger-thing was.. so I found this http://www.amazon.com/Code-Name-Ginger-Behind-Segway/dp/1578516730
Less murder chat next week please. Real downer.
Guys, what day and time is the podcast recorded? I seem to miss the live show every time!
JESUS FUCK, nearly every word out of Will’s mouth makes me want to beat him with a 2×4. Hey Will, name a show you like so I can say it sucks without ever having watched it. God your a piece of shit (not because of this specifically, just in general).
Thanks!
Unless Will meant something very specific by saying the iPod Touch has a lesser display, I think he’s wrong. According to Apple, the resolution and size are the same as an iPhone. And as somebody who plays games on an iTouch, a lot of games just don’t work on it. Or stop working when you update them. Currently, Monster’s Ate my Condo, Jetpack Joyride, and Shibuya don’t work. You never know. But if you don’t already own a smartphone, it’s still way cheaper, which is why I put up with it.
Well, shut my mouth. I had no idea. Since I don’t own an iPhone, I’d never done a side-by-side. Also, while Apple lists the pixels and size as the same as an iPhone, they don’t call it a Retina display on the store’s tech specs page.
