So, it looks like I completely forgot to do this, oops.
I'm Jordan. I generally do the weekly (or semiweekly) news recaps for the XDA Portal, but I got my start on YouTube with my other channel, http://youtube.com/thisweekinlinux, where I talked about Linux news, created screencast-style tutorials, and reviewed Linux distributions.
I've recently relaunched my YouTube "career" by creating a new channel, http://youtube.com/twildottv, where I'll be talking about not only Linux, but Android, hardware, software, and just geeky topics in general. Feel free to subscribe if you like my content!
I'm around pretty regularly, so feel free to ask me whatever you like!
UPDATE: As of this past weekend, I'm also running a gaming channel on YouTube, http://youtube.com/twilplays, where I'll be doing gaming commentary on all sorts of different platforms, and hopefully doing some tabletop gaming videos as well in the future. Check that out, if you're interested!

Hey Jordan! I've been watching your content on your very first channel ThisWeekInLinux on YouTube, and it was amazing and cool then, and still is now, but better and with the start of your new career with XDA (I'm jealous ), you can ONLY get better. So keep it up, sir! Good luck!

Thanks so much! I'm definitely enjoying my time here at XDA, and learning a lot!
Love your videos bro, I actually watch them as soon as they come out. I appreciate the business-like approach and professionalism that comes with good recording equipment! I wasn't a big fan of the jackassery and all-around goofiness that was borderline pompous from previous hosts. You rock dude!

Thanks so much for your wonderful comments!
I actually liked the previous hosts as well. They were a large part of the reason I wanted to be a on XDA TV in the first place. I have to thank them for the foundation they helped build for the channel, and I hope that I can continue to do it justice in the coming days/weeks/months/whatever until people get tired of watching me.
You are one awsome host!!!! I have a little more info every time I watch your videos.........like the Molecular structure of Caffeine
Love your videos Jordan
I think we need some more from you on the XDA channel too, share the love to more viewers
Thanks so much, csoulr666 and Quinny899!

Thanks, Quinny! I was trying to upload it to the minecraft.net profile page, yes. Tried just a downloaded one from one of the referenced minecraft skins sites, and then one that I edited myself, and no dice either time. I also went through and did the migration to the Mojang account thing, and tried uploading afterward. No luck.
Definitely seems that the servers are just having issues. I'll try again later today and see if it works.
Jordan, since I see you are a linux guy, could you please do a video about NANDROID for the HTC Touch HD (WinMo phone) which is on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914723 ??
Maybe you could talk a little bit about the ROM and possibly help on our biggest problem to make this ROM a daily driver: Wifi. The problem is kernel related, and all functions work on the SD builds, which run by executing Handheld Reverse Engineering Tool (or HaRET). Of course, with a NAND ROM, we would boot up Linux right away!
I know it's Gingerbread only, and the kernel is only a .27, but everyone is waiting for a fully functional ROM for this device. Maybe later we could upgrade kernel and, who knows, maybe moving to ICS.
I'm not asking for a whole new video about this, just asking you to talk about it when you report the news (which I think is every week).
Thank you for reading,

There's a great new Android game in the market called Hungry MonstR. It's a very well put together game with a lot of replayablity and it has a level of polish similar to Angry Birds.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.blowfishstudios.games.hungrymonstr
looks fun, but it also looks like it is better played on a tablet.
Hi there. I'm one of the developers of Hungry MonstR.
Just wanted to let you know the game has been modified to work best with both phones and tablets. The Monsters are scaled up for the smaller devices so they are easier to grab.
Most game testing was done on Nexus One and iPhone 3GS and we think the game is enjoyable on all capable devices. It's easiest to play with 2 thumbs on the phone compared to the tablet.
Hope you enjoy the game!
Cheers,
Blowfish Studios.
THanks for the heads up, I'll download it later today before work.
Now um I'm just wondering if I can meet Nichole

It's a topic on an app for android, with a valid market link, and a simple discussion.
It's even posted in the right section.
Edit: lol
Lol... I don't see anything wrong with this thread...
Anyways, I will definitly check into it pretty soon. Is there a lite/ad version for phones or do we just gotta like what we see in the video? Either way, I love games with polish that run nice and smoothly, and it looks good... so I'm sure I'll be trying it.

I thought I read that on here. My bad.
Looks like some of us at Blowfish Studios might be in LA this year for E3 Expo
No plans at the moment for a lite/ad version as we feel its very cheap as it is. Plus we have had very limited success with ads on the iOS platform. Still we understand that the Android platform may be different and we will keep our eyes on the market.
One thing we will do is release a free app that determines if a persons device is capable of running our games. At the moment we are using hardware filtering, but I believe that is cutting out some devices which could actually work with the games.
Cheers
Just kinda thinking out loud here (not the best thing to do but oh well!) Wouldn't it be nice to have an XDATV show about some off the apps that come from XDA? (SetCPU ect)
Or just an XDATV show dedicated to app reivews, Like SassiBob's segment but as a full show?
As I said, just thinking out loud
yeah we have chad for roms
sassy for apps
harry (lol) for a mix of quick stuff - maybe too quick
az - general xda news and other mix
that other blonde guy for interviews....
kinda need to find a set topic for each show... almost there....
would be nice to have a Q&A live, or a how-to ( mobile tech videos - bend over and take it with him xda. he is a good resource! )
another show for games...?

Ohh I love the idea of a How-to video! That would go down well with the people who are not as tech savy as the rest of us Not sure about a live Q&A though, that would depend on having a big crowd that interacts & I have a feeling that with XDATV in such a young age it would fail to attract the crowds needed. But I think maybe a top5 show? Like top5 Apps or Top5 Roms?
An XDATV Games show?! Only if we can dress the Android dude up as Mr Chip! XD haha
Maybe this is silly.... But, what if an episode was dedicated to some "issues" (like OEMS locking the bootloader, developer's thoughts on fragmentation, the suit, between Google and Oracle and it's effect on Android and the Linux kernel....)?
Sparky WAS in the doghouse. Now, He's allowed on the deck at least.

XDA Developers forum users are way too damn pretentious and immature in order to host a live Q and A - well said, guy who said that above me. XDA is too young to have that kind of crowd.
BabyDoll - Great Idea, hard to pull off without starting a flame war :-/
TRusello - I articulated your guide, but I haven't had time to edit it yet. I did it with Camtasia Studio so it came out nice and clear.
Also, the guy doing the interviews is shawn, just in case you wanted to know ^^

http://thedroidguy.com/2011/04/when-fanboy-meets-fact-android-community-maturity/
I wrote it for XDA but they didn't want to start a flame war, which is very understandable.
I had an idea on a show for how-to videos as well. I'd love to do some!
I don't have a smartphone atm to do any so I guess thats a no
I do however follow HTC news like a puppy dog, so maybe I could do some videos on HTC news? I'm talking ALL news. ROMs, Phone rumors, new releases, OEM firmware updates. I'd love a chance!
My idea for How-To videos was that there would be no set host, but anyone who wants to make a how-to video for noobs could do it. The videos would specifically show from factory to rooting and installing any given ROM on every device xda supports. The footage would be sent to me and I'd edit it to make it as short as possible without leaving anything out, and then it would be uploaded to xda's Youtube channel. If any of you are uncomfortable with speaking or being seen, that's fine, I can do the voice-over. Like I said, going from unboxed to flash-ready as fast as possible is all you'd need to do. Then each of these videos could be placed in each forum's noob sticky.

Man, I'd do it. You, me, and Bob. Put it up on streamly.tv and we're set. Having a live show in general would be fun to do. Sure, I might answer a few questions with "I don't know, go away," but that's why I'd just be hosting it. We'd have guests that came on each week to answer questions. And I'd just smack any pretension that peeked out. Or Bob would. Yeah, Bob would. Plus, there's nobody better than her at keeping things stu...non-pretentious.

My only concern with covering news from outside xda is that its outside xda. I'm by no means a decision maker here, so press on and see how far it goes. I'm sure with a live show we'd be covering general news for a want of content. But we don't embrace a brand as a community, we develop on a large number of devices from a wide array of carriers.

After 3 to 4 months of EXTREME hard work (workload level: over 9000),
I finished a video clip I made for an awesome band, Face Tomorrow.
This was my first real animation job, since the previous animated short
was made for a minor, Imagination, at my university TUDelft.
The clip was created using mainly: Photoshop, After Effects and 3ds Max.
A great source of inspiration was for instance the game Limbo,
because Limbo's atmosphere tells a touching story on its own.
Would you mind taking a look and giving me your honest opinion?

yes, softmodded my wii, just make sure you do Not have any kids around while softmodding because if they turn off the light while it is being modded it can brick your will, this almost happened to me,(my neighbor's child) almost turned off the light.
Yeah I've softmodded a Wii before. Not that hard actually. Obviously easier than rooting a phone.

seriously? the biggest mistake of XDA TV. XDA TV do something. bring them back!
to be fair some of the things I've been reading and also seeing how some members treat others It wont be long until lots more are driven away to elsewhere too which is a shame b/c this is a great place and XDA TV is a great asset.
Some members think just b/c they are popular or have a popular Rom out or something that they can speak to less knowledgeable members like crap which as lead to their followers in them threads thinking its ok to do the same
More power to em. The way xda has been treating is readers/users lately has been very unprofessional. See yall over at rootz
