  • Technology Showdown was my most popular web series back when I started doing UA-cam for the first time-it got more than 850,000 views over the course of several years, yet it only lasted 5 episodes and ended on a cliffhanger that was never resolved. What happened? Find out as Savvy Sage uncovers the full story of Technology Showdown.
    Looking to rewatch for nostalgia? Every Technology Showdown episode is available on my website's Classics section: savvysage.net/classics/

    NOTICE: I've received messages from fans that want to see this show return-I have no plans to do so, and those who ask if they can remake it should go check out the source material my homage is based on (Computer Showdown) and create something out of that instead. (I'm sure Ken wouldn't mind at all.)

    I remember watching technology showdown and honestly I'm just wondering what happened to it so it's nice to have an explanation. I never even knew it was the computer clan that actually made the original episodes and now i actually watch the computer clan. Thanks for making this.

    Hey! WinHearty here (remember me?)
    why haven't I stumbled upon this vid earlier GHAHGSHA anyway
    GOD I remember being so nostalgic for this series (and I still am now). It's the main contributor for my interest in characters that are digital themed HJAHAHSGD but anyway
    I still miss this series, alongside the original Computer Showdown. Though it's understandable why you chose not to proceed with it. Running large scale products like that are VERY likely to be difficult, and it's kind of why none of my ideas take off from the ground :pensiveemoji:. But hey, it was fun while it lasted, and it's inspired me to create a cinematic universe of my own!! And it's still going now.
    overall this series was very serotonin inducing for me and if I haven't stumbled upon it I don't think my creations would be where they are today
    although it may not be the best I still thank you for creating this, following this series was a rollercoaster from start to finish but it was still a fun ride nonetheless

      We all have to grow up and move on someday-I most certainly did. The work I do now is much better put together and far more interesting to dive into than my past work, but I can't deny the impact the latter has made in growing my fanbase as well as influencing others.

    • @SavvySage
      @SavvySage  2 роки тому +1

      I appreciate your support, but unfortunately animation is a risky venture that I'd rather not continue on with due to the amount of work, time, and money it would require. It would also take away from my passion in what I do best: Preserving tech and gaming history.
      These animations were made back when my content had little to no focus, besides just having fun. I've moved on from those days, prioritized quality over quantity, simplified the video format (and not be a mishmash variety channel like SFC used to be), and of course, keep it focused.
      I hope you understand my decision, and not be entirely disappointed that I have zero plans to continue the show due to lack of interest.

      I don't think you understand that Technology Showdown was never MY original idea to begin with, lol. It was essentially a remake to the classic Computer Showdown episodes made by Computer Clan many moons ago, and there are other fans of that that want to carry its legacy. Technology Showdown was just a very popular homage, and having an homage to an homage seems a bit redundant.
