Fun Facts
- This is episode #40. NSFW episode #40 was from Dragon*Con last year.
- Jason Howell does the opening sponsor read since none was recorded at Dragon*Con.
- The panel got started late due to technical issues with the LiveU. There were two Dragon*Con cameras in the room, but all attempts to get that feed into the LiveU (via two converters) were unsuccessful. In the end, Patrick Delahanty set up the TWiT camera which had been used the previous day for Tech News Today (and would be used later for NSFW's Dragon*Con: Con of a Dragon 2: Double Complete Dragon) and fed that direct into the LiveU.
- Dragon*Con tech staff offered to give Tom their UStream recording, but it's a good thing the TWiT camera was set up because after the panel the D*C tech crew said they lost connection to UStream several times.
- No local recording of the broadcast was made because the "memory card" that Tom put in the camera turned out to be an adapter.
- Patrick Delahanty ran the camera and communicated with JammerB at the TWiT Brickhouse while Zak Holder monitored the LiveU.
- The audio levels were over-modulated since that's what Dragon*Con was giving out of their board. Zak and Patrick tried to get them to fix it to no avail. Considering the technical issues, we're lucky to have a recording of the episode at all.
- At 7:20, there's a cut. The LiveU server stopped, so the LiveU backpack disconnected. After JammerB restarted the server, the LiveU backpack was able to reconnect. Several minutes of the panel were lost, but if you didn't notice the cut in the video, you'd probably never notice.
- At 10:27 in the video, you can see Justin start to get instructions from off-camera. JammerB had called Patrick to tell him, "Justin is too loud." (Of course.) Using charades and mime, Patrick and Zak tried to communicate that to Justin.
- At 16:23, an audience member says "shit" and it's not censored.
