Can we have a petition for Pyro to be a actually podcast member, he was really good for the conversation. He is really funny and good at keeping things interesting.
If you disable the metro (touch) element of win 8 (the main system is still the desktop you know) and install a classic start button it's actually better than 7. It's even faster and not that different. Don't judge something you haven't tried...
Also, if you hate the Metro look on everything (it actually looks alright on the Start Screen, but it's hideous on the Desktop), there's a program you can download to bring back Aero transparency.
***** Note: not defending windows 8... it is a piece of shit in terms of UI. but it can be set up in order to be indistinguishable from windows 7, with the only difference being the newer coding is better optimized for newer hardware. you do not ever need to see the Metro UI. you can have a WIN 7 Start Menu. you can disable all windows 8 apps so it never attempts to auto run anything using shit tier apps, you can disable windows account integration so you don't need to deal with that pile of bullshit. I have actually set up a custom win 8 rom which i dubbed windows 7.8 which i would be happy to pass on to you and assist in set up if you like. not saying windows 8 isnt shit, but once you figure out how to clean it up, its great, and has many advantages over Win 7 in the backend + the added bonus of giving you access to devices like the Asus T100 Tablet with a full OS and not the mobile bullshit that others are pushing these days. feel free to message me if you would like assistance. ~ Lockwood
OK GUYS. clearing up Windows 8. Metro IS NOT your desktop. the thing called DESKTOP is your damn desktop. In settings you can have it open to desktop BY DEFAULT. Thus making the metro your new start menu. Which is fine, it has boxes you can mess with as well as a button that takes you to an app list that can be sorted however you wish. It is fast, the new sounds are nice and calm, and it looks great. Enough of the hate born of ignorance.
Plus, as I've said several times in this comment section, there are several unofficial programs to bring back 7's features and feel, like Classic Shell and a hack to bring back Aero transparency.
Doctor Who Spoilers to Correct Guude So He Isn't Confused Matt Smith was actually the "last" regeneration, but they gave him a new regeneration cycle (12 regenerations), meaning the Doctor can regenerate 11 new times after Peter Capaldi.
Going back and watching eccleston, I really enjoyed that series, but maybe it was nostalgia. You definitely need to see it anyway, they reference it a lot.
I thought I'd hate windows 8, I really did. But once I got my most used shortcuts in the "startline", I never looked back. You still have your desktop and such, and it's not those horrible buttons on your screen at all times like I thought before. Only thing missing is the start button. And you don't need it..
my first arcade experience was '89, playing dankey kang in mexico in a day care while my parents were off enjoying a few hours away from me on their vacation :D
I really enjoyed first season of Doctor Who - even if you didn't like Christopher Eccleston as the doctor (who I personally didn't mind at all), the storylines were really good.
Personally I think that no matter how much you want people to be collaborative, your going to have people that don't, they just don't think it's as fun. But things like the Etho v Bteam trial or UHC monument that brings the group together.
OMG Gauntlet was awesome. For the record, first arcade game I played was Asteroid. First time I played Space Invaders wasn't until after Donkey Kong came out and all the 'tough kids' migrated over to that. Later on Galaxian and Galaga were pretty much my favourites.
I think it would be cool if some people SHARED a base I think that would be really cool if Nancy Drew had to all live together. Everybody's build style and personalities clashing all in one place. Sounds like chaos, but fun chaos.
How can all these tech-savvy people not figure out that the Windows 8 Start screen is the start menu, and the Desktop is still there, mostly unchanged?
Invite generikb or bdubs or better yet Both! They're both hilarious together and I think it would be a really great time to hear them talk about mindcrack and to other mindcrcakers
I think maybe the twist is that there will be positional audio .... just a guess.. guude if you read this I love you , you've made me laugh for like 3 years now keep up the good work m8.
8.1 has a windows button, anything else you'd use in that menu you can literally just search for. I adjusted fairly quickly and enjoy the layout. For the record i'm not 13 years old i used windows 95 (which i know for a lot of people doesn't help my case but it's better than XP right?)
search for is the right word for it .... i just use classic shell and have the good old start button with the good old pop-up screen like old windows (win7 included)
Beef's grandma passed away i believe, understandably he's taken some time to compose himself. I believe that it's taking a bit long for him to return if he's going to.
This whole talk about dying and what to do with the bodies or ashes reminds me of that scene from the Big Lebowski when they try to throw the ashes off the cliff into the sea... One of the funniest and most irreverent scenes I've ever seen in a movie...
So on the new map is pak just going to be thrust into the guudeland project alone like season four or will people be doing some guudeland work like in season three?
I went to costco and they had ONE single windows 7 laptop, and it was pretty cheap AND powerful, I was a happy guy. the whole rest of the laptop area was disgusting windows 8 monstrosities and computers that had worse specs, but costed 1.5x more money because they were touch screen. Eww.
windows 8 with touch screen is bearable. windows 8 with no touch screen is the worst idea just behind hitler's ideas. But the best thing about a computer and the internet. buy the "powerful" computer, and delete the OS and install windows 7 from a pirated copy.
***** i have an 8.1 notebook. no touch screen. 300 bucks. Plays a few decent games. Nothing wrong with 8.1 for mobile devices (laptops included) But for a serious desktop PC, always go with 7.
***** No I mean the windows 7 one is actually pretty powerful and strong and the touch screen one costs WAY more, and it could barely run anything. Also personally, windows 8 with touch screen is still unbearable, because it is windows 8, and windows 8 is the most confusing mess ever created, not to mention a lot of things just don't work on it. Also because touch screens are just mouses that don't require a pad to slide across, except it doesn't work for most games at all, and it has no buttons, and it requires me to cover my screen with my arm while covering it in fingerprints. For a PC gamer, it is almost useless.
I did hate the idea of using windows 8, but it really isn't that bad. It's just like everything else, you just have to get use to the change and after a while it works just as well if not better than older versions. But everyone is different, it was the same with people going to vista from xp.
Avidya, you better not skip 9! I'm so disappointed that Guude didn't like Christopher Eccleston. 9 is absolutely wonderful and his character goes through so much development throughout the season that it wouldn't have made sense for him to stay for another season. David Tennant is incredible as well and his seasons are easily my favorite. Matt Smith does a fine job but I haven't even been able to watch all of his episodes, mainly because Stephen Moffat is a joke of a writer and a show runner. At the very least, you have to watch for the caliber of guest stars that they get on.
Where I live the public transportation, on the rare occasion you can find any, make a 15 minute trip into an hour and a half, which makes not being able to drive young (at least 18) not an option. :/
The entire community is divided on the server EULA thing, but, nobody would care if they fixed EULA for minecraft conventions like this to keep things like mineorama or meeting of the mines out, we'd all be grateful.
Before Avidya joined the podcast I never really saw him as an opined guy, like someone who had something to say like the others. I always though he was sort of calm and quiet, but in a way I'm happy I was wrong. As I do like to hear his opinions on topics.
Alright not super relevant, but I opened this in a new tab while playing one of guudes mindcrack videos. In the mindcrack episode he was laughing, and I paused the video to look at something else, but he kept laughing and I thought the audio was jacked up - turns out it was rawb's cheaty intro.
I forgot arks was even is the podcast when they started talking about arcades. Lol he is so much younger then the other guys on the podcast... That is if Pause isn't there
No offense to Rob's glorious intros, but today's intro was the best ever.
i agree
someone needs to start a Guude Giggle Count
Heotay Z Guude's giggles are the best! lol
Guude is a really smart guy. That doesn't get said enough. Probably because his nervousness is funnier.
He's smart and funny, funniness come across more when you're in a job like guudes
Steve Fennelly ya that's true. that's why I though I'd take a moment to mention his intelligence.
"I'm going to move my solo commentaries to another series or something..." Return of Space Chickens confirmed

Can we have a petition for Pyro to be a actually podcast member, he was really good for the conversation. He is really funny and good at keeping things interesting.
When you guys go to Minecon this year, ask Notch if he sits or stands. kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
You mean sits right, cause I don't think he seats,
Mainegor Right, my mistake. (fixed)
LRibeiro97 Its all good. :)
great editing. had this open in half screen and looked over at those moments. great job whoever did it if you see this
If you disable the metro (touch) element of win 8 (the main system is still the desktop you know) and install a classic start button it's actually better than 7. It's even faster and not that different. Don't judge something you haven't tried...
They HAVE tried it. Why do you make false claims?
Most of us have tried it. I have just wiped 8 off my laptop and put 7 on because it was so goddamned awful.
Also, if you hate the Metro look on everything (it actually looks alright on the Start Screen, but it's hideous on the Desktop), there's a program you can download to bring back Aero transparency.
I did that. Its called Windows 7

one of the better podcasts in a while guys. keep up the good work
Nice intro. Guude's laugh made me chuckle rigjt off the bat.
Pay as you Go ftw!
Wow guys! Thanks for the screen shoots of what your talking about. That was a great idea.
Best intro ever!
Please use that intro every podcast :D
OK GUYS. clearing up Windows 8.

THANK YOU. We need to have Guude read this! LOL.
Step 1. Download StartIsBack.
Step 2. Love W8
Plus, as I've said several times in this comment section, there are several unofficial programs to bring back 7's features and feel, like Classic Shell and a hack to bring back Aero transparency.
and you can use classic shell for the real start button screen pop-up on win 8 and 8.1 on desktop mode.
that was the reason to keep win 8 for myself
juicysteak117 Classic Shell is free; Startisback isn't. ;P

It makes me really happy and that you guys watch doctor who and it makes me even happier that Avidya is going to be watching it.
Song played at Funeral:
Dead Man's Party, from Oingo Boingo
There are 3-4 episodes of season 1 that are really good and the overall story arch is pretty good aswell.
Avidya's mic sounds so good and Baj's have improved a lot

You still have your desktop and such, and it's not those horrible buttons on your screen at all times like I thought before. Only thing missing is the start button. And you don't need it..
Dat intro
Gonna do something productive... NEVERMIND!!! Mindcrack podcast is up!
but... but you can listen to the podcast while doing "something productive", or you one of those "I watch podcast" guys?
By doing something productive, I meant at that time going outside ;)
What's wrong with Windows 8? I use it for almost a year now and I have no issues (I don't use the metro stuff at all)
yea, user isn't forced to use metro
my first arcade experience was '89, playing dankey kang in mexico in a day care while my parents were off enjoying a few hours away from me on their vacation :D
I really enjoyed first season of Doctor Who - even if you didn't like Christopher Eccleston as the doctor (who I personally didn't mind at all), the storylines were really good.
I really like the avidya editing. :P Please continue. :3

Love the intro, pretty sure Avidya did that
reddit did that
anyone who is unsure about doctor who should watch the episode blink because its show just how intelligent the show can be :)
I love the editing on this one
OMG Gauntlet was awesome.
For the record, first arcade game I played was Asteroid. First time I played Space Invaders wasn't until after Donkey Kong came out and all the 'tough kids' migrated over to that.
Later on Galaxian and Galaga were pretty much my favourites.
This was a really good Podcast. Feel like the logo should have been sepia tinged though.
I think it would be cool if some people SHARED a base I think that would be really cool if Nancy Drew had to all live together. Everybody's build style and personalities clashing all in one place. Sounds like chaos, but fun chaos.
That intro thoo. Ha
I love the first Doctor of the reboot, he's my favourite(so far), I like David Tennant also, although I'm only on season 4
i think its too soon to reset the map
got a notification from the youtube app for this episode, obviously had to watch!
Awesome! Great to have Arkas!
you can still get the "bullet xp" kind of a thing for windows 7.... its called "Windows Embedded Compact 2013"
How can all these tech-savvy people not figure out that the Windows 8 Start screen is the start menu, and the Desktop is still there, mostly unchanged?
I forgot Arkas was in the podcast and then he talks and it's like, oh yeah Arkas is here.
A) The British Sherlock Holmes is Sherlock Holmes,
and
B) He does not look human, you look Time Lord.
That is the best intro ever!
I feel lucky that I have 2 old school arcades near me in Houston. Also got a venue where we can play fighting games regularly here too.
The last few episodes of the 9th doctor (Christopher Eccleston) were good.
I wouldn't think Guude was a person who liked Tennant and didn't like Ecclestone.
Invite generikb or bdubs or better yet Both! They're both hilarious together and I think it would be a really great time to hear them talk about mindcrack and to other mindcrcakers
Apparently they're adding the start menu back for Windows 9 or earlier.
I think maybe the twist is that there will be positional audio .... just a guess.. guude if you read this I love you , you've made me laugh for like 3 years now keep up the good work m8.
8.1 has a windows button, anything else you'd use in that menu you can literally just search for.
I adjusted fairly quickly and enjoy the layout. For the record i'm not 13 years old i used windows 95 (which i know for a lot of people doesn't help my case but it's better than XP right?)

could not say it any better
"Right now I could drink and drive the hell out of a car" -Guude (30:36)
"right now i can drink and drive the hell out of a car" - Guude
i forgot did avidya replace beef?
yes
Beefs just too busy to do the podcast ATM, but at least we get Adivia, who is just as good if not better, plus change is good sometimes.
Well kinda, Beef left and Avidya just happened to get enough time to fill in the spot, perfect coincidence.
Beef's grandma passed away i believe, understandably he's taken some time to compose himself. I believe that it's taking a bit long for him to return if he's going to.
Jimothy Jimmels he is on vacation......no jk i dont know
The game with the formula one racers that is top-down and you buy the upgrades is Super Sprint!
This whole talk about dying and what to do with the bodies or ashes reminds me of that scene from the Big Lebowski when they try to throw the ashes off the cliff into the sea... One of the funniest and most irreverent scenes I've ever seen in a movie...
Guude Laughter, a balm for the soul....
Avidyia's low voice is now my favorite.
So on the new map is pak just going to be thrust into the guudeland project alone like season four or will people be doing some guudeland work like in season three?
How often do you guys put up images? I happened to pick up my phone and I saw the pic. Have I been missing out all this time?? Great podcast!
Yes Guude start space chickens again
I'm with Avidya on phones.... It's a phone, NOT a bank, NOT a gaming machine. A phone.
What happened to the audio at 56:30? Did a segment get lost?
always nice to hear an dutch mindcracker,im from belgium if you wander....
*wonder
wander means to travel aimlessly
i ment wander ....

What were the Windows 7 laptops's specs?
***** idk. It plays what I want it to play. I just examined higher or lower while I was there.
I replayed the, "Intro" so many times.
No one is in controll but yet everyone is.
I did hate the idea of using windows 8, but it really isn't that bad. It's just like everything else, you just have to get use to the change and after a while it works just as well if not better than older versions. But everyone is different, it was the same with people going to vista from xp.
All the Doctor Who's are on Netflix
BEST INTRO EVER
I watch American sports on first row sports maybe try that Avidya
I love the intro!
Poll Everywhere on PowerPoint: "What song do you want to sing?"
Guude, you had an "Intellivision" not a "ColecoVision". I had the same one with the intellivoice add-on.
How weird, I got a 40 minute long Millbee ad at the end of this episode, Cool.
Avidya, you better not skip 9! I'm so disappointed that Guude didn't like Christopher Eccleston. 9 is absolutely wonderful and his character goes through so much development throughout the season that it wouldn't have made sense for him to stay for another season. David Tennant is incredible as well and his seasons are easily my favorite. Matt Smith does a fine job but I haven't even been able to watch all of his episodes, mainly because Stephen Moffat is a joke of a writer and a show runner. At the very least, you have to watch for the caliber of guest stars that they get on.
The only benefit of carrying change is that it is more handy than having a device that could have all your personal information. Change is safer. :P
I didn't know Arkas was that young.
Deffo don't skip it
Nine was great don't even Guude. HE'S LIKE THE ONLY HAPPY ONE
the first doctor is my favorite!
Guudes laugh
Where do you ask questions?
that was a great intro
you made me flashback when you brought up the face of boe
is there a skip at 56.30 ? was the question that bad? :p

Let's play a game!!! Count how many times Guude says "I don't know" in single podcast.
the binary sniffing dogs got me ^^
Alright not super relevant, but I opened this in a new tab while playing one of guudes mindcrack videos. In the mindcrack episode he was laughing, and I paused the video to look at something else, but he kept laughing and I thought the audio was jacked up - turns out it was rawb's cheaty intro.
You can have the song sandstorm at your funeral.
Best intro EVER! :D
I forgot arks was even is the podcast when they started talking about arcades. Lol he is so much younger then the other guys on the podcast... That is if Pause isn't there
My dad used Duckduckgo... when he first discovered it every time we ended a phone call he would say "Okay I'm duckduck going..."
I didn't like Christopher Eccleston at first but I rewatched all of his episodes and thought he was pretty good
When windows 8 first came out, I had to pay extra to get mine with windows 7
