This episode was good, but I thought that Big Head and Eric were on okay terms?

I kind of understood where Hanneman was coming from with his advice on how to get the most out of Pied Piper.

This scares the poo poo out of me.

The only thing that was missing to make it credible, was talk about growth first, revenue later. Pretty much every week TechCrunch reports on a startup that is prioritising user growth over revenue.

One of my favourite Hanneman scenes was him pulling up in the McLaren with Limp Bizkit blasting and then trying to leave and it wouldn't go into gear.

I mean maybe I'm "that guy", but a general complaint I hear is that the show is "toned down for mass-consumption". Maybe SV is just a broken place :smith:

It's a fantasy in the sense that most people will never experience it and it's a world very different to every day life, not that it's unrealistic.

Phantom (Redux) by Shirt. Saw it on his Twitter, couldn't find it on Youtube or anything so maybe it was released to coincide with the episode?

Gavin comparing the treatment of Billionaires to the Holocaust is a reference to Tom Perkins. He took some flack for doing that in a letter to the WSJ.

That's right. Here it is. But it's like you always have compared the sword, the making of the sword, with the making of the character. Cuz the stronger, the stronger it will get, right, the stronger the steel will get, with all that, and the same as with the character.

So it looks like they've actually bought that Pied Piper billboard in the real world, at least in the bay area. It's one slide of the electronic billboard by the Ikea in East Palo Alto.

Has anyone seen it anywhere else?

Rolling up with Limp Bizkit blasting told me all I needed to know about the character.

That whole scene I was hoping it would end with him unable to drive it competently and I was not disappointed.

I enjoyed Outrageous VC Guy, but I hope he doesn't take up too much time from the rest of the season, except to interact with Laurie.

For real. I don't think that quote is going to be topped for the rest of the season.

I mean Radio On the Internet (ROI bitches) getting sold to AOL is clearly meant to mirror Mark Cuban selling literally the same thing to Yahoo. I can see some Sean Parker as well in the personality. Maybe Hanneman'll have a Game of Thrones themed wedding, which wrecks a protected forrest, and the Pied Piper team will be forced to write an app that streams high-fidelity endangered bird songs.

I could watch Gilfoyle try and cut Russ down and Russ just failing to acknowledge it all day. It almost looked like Gilfoyle was getting through Hanneman's ego defenses but the guy was just too up his own rear end to be remotely affected by anything.

The long pauses really made it. It came off like he was suppressing a complete breakdown, rather than holding back rage. "THIS GUY" was the moment when his ego clenched back up and won control of the situation.
