I blame DotaGAF for finally breaking Brad.
I miss when they were at that office. I thought Norm and Will fitting in great as a tech part of the GB family. I loved how Ryan always gave Will shit every time he could too. Now they're down to only only a hand full of the people that were there. No Ryan, Will, Norm, Patrick moved, Alex moved. God damn.
Progressive is the only thing that works for me, which kind of sucks for a long vid that I've already watched a chunk of.
Why not just download them?

The giantbomb buddy app is great to use as a video player.

I don't know about anyone else but all GB videos (or at least all recent ones) have audio sync problems when downloaded for me.

I think Spookin' with Scoops might be my favourite GB feature.
I have downloaded all the GB videos that I watch since the feature was made available, and I haven't had any sync issues for many months. Which video player are you using?

Same here! This wasn't the case, but starting around the time that the last part of the Bioforge videos went up, I started noticing all downloaded videos would eventually start playing out of sync. What the heck.
Weird, seems fine for me and I download everything. I use Internet Download Manager if that could make any difference.
I download them straight from the site without any fancy programs and I have no audio problems here either.
Yeah it works better than their real player. I used to watch HTML5 videos on their site but now it's just impossible. (randomly stops all the time) Progressive works, but it sucks if you want to continue a video. So basically now I am only using the stream version and I am not particularly happy about that.
I think I got you beat: sometimes, the HTML5 player stops but I can still hear the audio going, and I know it's still loading video but not displaying it because my network Widget shows my bandwidth is capped. It still plays even after I refresh/close the tab for about 10-20 seconds (though I think it might just be playing out video that's leftover).
Other than that, no problems.

I download mine normally and watch them on my laptop which is a Mac. I've tested it out on MPlayer and VLC (which is my backup). I never thought to test them on my PC though, not that I have any need for them there.
I've even tried remuxing the downloaded HD videos into mkv's but I get an error saying they are missing some timecode files. The audio sync problems still persist regardless.
The two guys left at San Fran whose job it is to cover the video games are probably crushed under corporate meetings/ pondering why they actually brought a wii u all day.
+Patrick has a crazy work ethic to go with that stay at home freedom.
Never thought to do this, works beautifully.
Can't use my giant secondary monitor though
/edit whelp it stopped working

I pretty much just use the Giantbomb site as a way to quickly check whether or not I should go to the Giantbomb Youtube page.

Their stream option works terribly. It can't seem to decide how good my connection is, and I'm 99% that it's pretty good. Constant hiccups to change to a low res version. If I go HD on HTML5 I can watch it right away, problem is that their HTML5 video has a tendency to stop playing or not start at all.

You'll only get 30 fps videos that way.

I sometimes want to skip to a specific part at the start though.
That's what I've done for the last few months, works wonderfully.
Oh yeah, the thing that annoys me with the HTML5 player is that if you watch a video in full screen, there's no way to get out of fullscreen once the video is over. You can press Escape but since I have 2 monitors, I normally do stuff on the second screen while the video plays so I loose the focus on that window.
So right now when a video is done I have to click play to restart it and then I can get the button to get out of full screen.
Such a terrible mess of a design.

On-site player has started acting up for me over the last few days, too. Just constant buffering.
Weird thing is downloading the videos is ultrafast.
I've also noticed that HD videos seemed to have dropped in quality over the last few months. A lot of macro blocking that didn't used to be there.

Goddamit Brad you ran past two chests.
While I'll occasionally check out the Bombing in the A.M., I've stop trying to watch the rest of the Chicago videos. I like Patrick but I just can't get into solo quick looks. Its like Patrick doesn't exist anymore.

Spooking with scoops is legitly some of the bes regular content they have out now.
According to Crispy, DD will be back. They're discussing ways to re-tool the show, but it's not gone forever.

While we're complaining about the video player, the Streaming option jumps around in quality way too much for me. Despite never having a problem playing the videos in HD when it's on progressive, it's constantly dumping me to Low, then up to High or HD for like 25 seconds, then back to Low. It's even more annoying because the video repeats the last second of audio every time it switches.

Yeah, it sucks that I was one of the people dunk'd for that. I wasn't even defending TLOS. I just want compelling arguments for GOTY.
