Ep. 58 – Nature Boy System Builders

by Commander Tim on August 30th, 2009 with 5 Comments

I smell a conspiracy... and a drunken Irishman.

In this 100% less live episode of The Widget, Tim and Paul are joined by one-half of the Flying Faustinis – Tim the Iron Pirate. Topics include why you should always strip down to your bare ass when building a computer, Snow Leopard’s 64 bityness has some flaws, why Microsoft hates black people, a metric ass ton of viewer mail, an explanation of the above image of Diddler Jobs, and so much more. Hit play to listen now, and hit the link to view the ’show notes’ (yeah, we laughed at that notion too).

I had the beta version of Windows XP 64 bit and when I ran F.E.A.R on it, it increased the resolution I could run the game and also increase the texture levels as well.

Very funny stuff, I like working naked too. There is nothing quite like feeling the flow of air across my shaved balls while in my companies clean room.

Metatron: pics or it didn’t happen… alternatively, tits or GTFO.

Well there we have it… Tim asking to see Metatron naked….. that must be a sign… a terrible sign…

Fun show. I’d never listened to The Widget Show before, so this was my 1st episode. It’s kinda nice to hear a geeky, off-the-deep-end PC-centric bullshit session all with the pessimistic Commander Tim cynicism as a cherry on top! Keep us the good work.
