I kind of like the new look and feel of ENN. Oh, and Graham? Your hair is getting a little unruly there. Been noticing it for weeks now.

New intro, new format, Russ playing a part, the return of Paul in a wig...
Lots of fun stuff this week.

 

[wordsmith]

Talking about the gaming hand and no mention of... Black and White? :O

Also, does anyone else see the green outline around Jeremy's head? I'd say greenscreen, but I can't think of any reason that they wouldn't do that interview in a corridor somewhere...

I honestly hadn't thought of the two mouse buttons needed for the portals. So how does that work on single button mouses for the macs? Do they need to buy a new one or buy one of those ones where you assign the right side as the right click?

I've never used a mac, forgive my ignorance.

Since 2005 or so, all Apple mice came with a right mouse button. The mighty mouse (the big white mouse thing after that hockeypuck mouse) has 3 buttons, but it doesn't show on the external casing so it still looks as if it only has one button. The new trackpad mouse is similiar but I haven't used that one. Using a logitech mouse myself for my Mac though.

OT: Am I the only one not liking the new opening? Also the news bit at the start also felt different.. Still liked the Atari and MacPortal segments though The kid in the middle of the advertisement came across as rather shy though, or he didnt feel like participating.

This show just keeps getting better and better. Great work, lots of laughs

"Call of Duty Rocks the 80's: Iran Contra Style" Oh my god! I haven't laughed that hard in month. Thanks ENN, good episode.

Grahams defence of the Mac was epic yet and brave, but was boguht down by its shortcoming :0

 

[MrMisfit]

Loving the new opening and format. More "The headshot" in the future.

Share and enjoy
share and enjoy
Journey through life
With a plastic boy
Or Girl by your side
Let your pal be your guide
And when it breaks down
Or starts to annoy
Or grinds when it moves
And gives you no joy
Cos it's eaten your hat
Or had sex with your cat
Bled oil on your floor
Or ripped off your door
You get to the point
You can't stand any more
Bring it to us, we won't give a fig
We'll tell you, 'Go stick your head in a pig'

Just what I came to post B)

So Graham uses a Mac mouse and Paul uses a Microsoft keyboard... Guess ENN is politicaly correct

 

[Cosplay Horatio]

I love the new opening and the new segment. The only Atari relations I have now after I stopped playing the DBZ games is buying and playing classic Atari games for my Game Room Arcade on my X360 account.

New intro and format... I like it though. Graham's Mac rant was hilarious. Also, Russ is just awesome.

Seconded. Graham could use a stylist. Clean him up a bit.

 

[Macgyvercas]

Love the new intro. And Russ was hilarious!

Also: [small]This explains...EVERYTHING[/small]

Kathleen is great at silliness.

Uh, no.

Graham explained it. What one needs to do is to go to Preferences, go to Mouse and Keyboard, go to Mouse, and assign the right half of the mouse as the right button.

Anyway, OT: Loved the new intro, Graham was freakin' hilarious in the Headshot segment (Hope they make more of these! ), and the Atari commercials made me laugh so much, tears came out of my eyes!

One of your best, LRR! You really outdid yourselves this week!

 

[ucciolord1]

I will never be able to look at another Atari product without seeing this.

 

[the_tramp]

Uh, no.

Graham explained it. What one needs to do is to go to Preferences, go to Mouse and Keyboard, go to Mouse, and assign the right half of the mouse as the right button.

Well there shows my ignorance, I always thought that mac mouses had a button rather than some sort of touch sensor.

Edit: I appreciate that Graham explained it, I just thought that the first mac mouses had a button rather than this sensor-based system so I was merely querying what would happen for those that have still got these mouses. However seeing that you say that they are all sensor based then I retract my original query.

New credits were great, and the new format (if that's the word I want) made it more like Phailhaus, which is awesome. Great episode!

 

[BlindChance]

Man, Kathleen editorialized a lot this week. Was it a slow news week, gang?
