Systm 1 / Broken 4
For those of you who arn’t subscribed to the The Broken newsletter, Systm, from the creators of The Broken, went up at 8pm PST tonight. You can download torrents of it at systm.org. I’m in the process of downloading it now and am very excited!
As stated in the newsletter, “While Systm is a general interest HOW-TO show, thebroken will continue to have 40′z and hacking”. Thats good news, for though I welcome any show by Kevin Rose, I would hate to see The Broken go the way of Call For Help.
They’re throwing a release/Dan’s birthday house party tonight with invites going out to “Kevin, Dan, Keith and Ron (systm/thebroken crew) along with other TechTV staffers (Leo, Pat, Yoshi, Martin, Alex, and others (Ramzi) have all been invited).” with a webcam and IRC chat for us lowly fans. I didn’t catch anything until a few minutes ago, however, and it apears they shut the cam off at 10:11 pm PST. There are only three people chilling in the picture, so I assume they party didn’t go well, or it was crazy nuts and someone went to the hospital. I’m guessing the former, which saddens me with memories of our first and only “rave” at Jalbey’s house.
As for new The Broken episodes,
I’ll quote the newsletter:After several weeks of lawyer negotations with G4 (my 9-5 job), they have agreed to release me from my contract. Friday May 27th 2005 marks my last day on the G4 network. That means we are focusing on thebroken / Systm FULL TIME! We are starting to plan the next episode of thebroken now, and we’ll send out another update as we get closer to the release! Now that this is our full-time job, expect to see many more video releases coming your way!
It is sad to remember how G4 completely destroyed TechTV and every good program on it (except X-play, somehow), but I am elated that we still get to see many of the people that made it a great place to watch.
Ugh! The torrent is 97.4% complete. My posts are never long enough…

Ah the rave… That was an interesting night. But I will always have fond memories of the rave that never was.

“SWAN DIVE!”…”Ok back flip”…
Ahh memories…I will cherish them for as long as I live, just wish I had a video tape of that night, you know just in case you ever become president.

LOL. “Our president elect is seen here being dragged behind a lawn tractor through the mud on nothing but an old TV tray.”

NOW That I could do…or “As you can see in this video clip our President is now snorting a line of donut in a crowded high school cafeteria…what a man”
Thinking back on all the crap we had you do or you did on your own, how are you still alive?

But for the grace of god, my sons… but for the grace of god.
