Lowtax's speech at UIUC about the internet

This was really fun to watch. I've been reading their stuff from time to time since 2000 (the smurf-shit blue one) when I stumbled upon it looking for reviews of The Ice Cream Man.

Never joined the forum though.

I enjoyed it to, but I I felt Lowtax could have done a much better job (must of been nervous, know I would have been).  I myself enjoy their site.  I espescieally enjoyed this week Photoshop Phriday (the TMNT2 one made me laugh so hard)

His content was fine, but his delivery kind of blew ass. But I sympathize with him. That's how I felt on my first week of teaching.

Well he was mostly used to being an internet figure and writing rather than presenting.  But doom house and mood house was great, though they had an editting button, or straight editted.

Plus the whole Mega64 segemnt could have been completely avoided and should have been.

Seconding that, and the comment on his delivery. I did get a lot of a laughs out of the presentation and enjoyed it, but there were also quite a few times where I felt kind of sorry for him.

I joined the forums about a year and a half ago and found them quite neat. I think they've gone a bit downhill since though, and now I can't go on MSN because someone else who lives in my city keeps gooning at me. You know, the type who calls themselves "goon" and keeps going on about other goons and catchphrases.
