No BS Podcast #66: The Grand Theft Gordon Edition

The Maximum PC Staff

Dave, Will, and Andy accomplish an amazing feat on the 66th Maximum PC Podcast: we actually keep our rambling under 40 minutes in length! Even with the clock running, we still manage to get in some chit-chat about:

The absurdity of Mass Effect's recently announced copy-protection mechanism.
Why Handbrake is an amazing video encoder (French, too!)
The greatness that is free music!

And as always, we wax about our crazy goings-on in the Maximum PC lab and answer each-and-every one of your reader questions... that's under 60 seconds in length.

Woohoo, i love The Slip, i downloaded it minutes after it was released. The best songs on it have to be 1,000,000, Discipline, and Echoplex

Oh, Ex NIN, ex Guns N' Roses guitarist rejoined NIN a few weeks ago, and is on this record. it was obviously recorded this month, so that blows the backlog idea out of the water, but rumor has it that it was recorded and mixed 2 Mondays ago, and Dicipline was released as a single the day after.

a very similar problem to this guy. mine was caused by a 4 pin power plug in my mother board is misshapen so the plug comes out some times. once i put it back everything was cool. so heads up for anyone with that problem. not like they can read it if their pc won't turn on.

Handbrake

Hello, just wanted to let you guys know that although Handbrake is a good program, I find that Xvid4PSP is actually easier to use and provides as many if not more options for converting videos. Oh, don't be fooled by the name. It handles almost everything and converts to almost everything. The website is http://www.winnydows.com , check it out. I would love to hear what you think about it in the next podcast if possible.
