Easier that way too I bet as that editor didn't look to be the easiest thing to use.

I think you're missing the point hes trying to make. A lot of people come to CoD for the Zombies now. It doesn't really matter how Jeff,you, or I feel zombies mode generates sales.

It's dumb.
Why didn't Ryan have a "Fuck Ryan Davis" shirt on in the ILM?
Why would he? That doesn't fit the canon of WWE. Continuity is important here!

PG WWE.
I'm just explaining why I don't like it, making a point of "what you say doesn't matter" is stupid and is probably not his intent.
edit: this post turned out to be a little harsh on re-read! pretend I used "silly" instead!
I disagree about it being the best horde mode, it's a pretty good mode but doesn't come anywhere close to Gears Horde or Halo's Firefight.

I think I saw someone say that their download speeds for Giant Bomb videos were slow.
I have just got home and they are also slow for me. Around 350 KB/s as opposed to 3.5 MB/s. I've tested my internet speed and it's the usual 30 Mb/s.
Seems like there may be a problem with Giant Bombs's video server.

I have a friend that loves Zombie mode and I've played quite a bit of it with him but I just don't get the draw. In the beginning when you're maintaining defenses there seems to be potential but it always reaches a point and relatively early on where you just run in a circle and shoot backwards into mindless bullet sponges.
That's disappointing because I use Google DNS to improve several other services.

Yeah Google DNS is a lifeline for a lot of people. Probably the last thing you want to run into a conflict with.
Out of curiosity, why do people uses the Google DNS? Is it just because their default DNS provided by the ISP are crappy?
I'm curious since I never had to use something other than my ISP DNS since I've switched to broadband in 1998.

Ugh yeah, I really don't want to drop google DNS. :/

I don't even know what Google DNS is.
Download speeds have been fine for me. It's only today I've had any download speed issues.
Edit: I just tried downloading the ZOE HD Quick Look and it's downloading at normal speed.

Streaming the videos has always been a tedious process for me on any DNS. I was using OpenDNS for awhile and had the issue.
Mainly for speed reasons, as many providers have crappy DNS service. I don't think it is a reasonable measure against most "professional" censoring efforts (but some companies or countries filtering efforts might be subverted using Google DNS). Another, similar, service is OpenDNS.
If you want to speed-check, get http://www.grc.com/dns/benchmark.htm (you'll have to enter your providers DNS servers manually, otherwise your router will always be first).
That's their players fault - if you have premium, go for the "HTML5" option.
Yes, and I still don't get it. His claim of having a huge influence on the way the story plays out doesn't seem to actually be reflected in walkthroughs on YouTube (I'll have played the game myself in a few days time - maybe then I'll see it the way Jeff does). So far, it seems like the typical scripted CoD experience with some window-dressing to me. I'm not convinced a Blops 2 can rival even a Dishonored in terms of "player agency", like Gerstmann seems to think.
Quote from Jeff's review:
The best choices are the ones where you're not even aware there was a choice.

The HTML5 player is also kind of shit though, not the quality but skipping in videos sucks so much. If only they would fix that.
Btw using google DNS is actually pretty effective against censorship here, basically the ISPs don't really want to block stuff but if the court says they have to, they do, but only in a way that it's as easy as changing your DNS to make it work again.

You live in China or something?
Does HTML5 have scrubbing/skipping? If not then meh.

China is exactly the kind of place that shit wouldn't work.
Denmark and I just want to get my ubuntu releases from piratebay. We also got around four thousand other sites blocked, most of them no doubt for good reasons but the system is kind of fucked.
You can skip around, the problem is it won't tell you how long you are skipping in time wise and it won't tell you how long the videos are. It's such a small thing but it annoys me to no end.

Hey GB, your video player has been kinda bad lately, and you should feel bad.

Youtube auto blocking certain stuff. Tested talked quite a bit about how silly it is and their videos quite often gets taken down because of, for example a news company claiming to own everything they upload and tested then uploaded the same clip/song (which they also gotten permission to use), youtube will then autoblock tested or giantbombs stuff.
Oh yeah, they got robots on that stuff. It's pretty stupid since a robot can't interpret videos and form its own opinions or love.

Am I misremembering or didn't Jeff say he doesn't like review events?

They should've just made it an AMV instead.
I believe the entire staff has said that they find events such as those or foreign trips to see a single game to be a waste of time.
I think that was on the bombcast involving the Games Journalism talk. The gist of it is that at the end of the day, they just want to review the games and extraneous bullshit just hinders their ability to do so because it is honestly just about the games.
Starring Vegeta. With Linkin Park music. IIIINNNNN TTTTTHHHEEEEEE EEEEEEEEENNNNNDDDDDDDDDD ......
Why didn't Ryan have a "Fuck Ryan Davis" shirt on in the ILM?
It should've been Jeff stepping out of the car with a Fuck Ryan Davis shirt following the run down.

Won't be here for the bombcast thread tonight, someone else is up!
I sometimes wonder if there's a joke that I'm not in on when it comes to AMV having Linkin Park. Like... 90% of them have it. At this point, do the kids in that age group even know who Linkin Park is? Have they ever heard that one popular Linkin Park album(the one that ALL the songs in the AMVs are from)
Linkin Park, Pokemon, and Dragon Ball Z. The only things that will endure after the world ends.
