Hopefully they will switch to a new player soon.
Honestly the best way to watch their videos is youtube.

Not really, given the GB player supports 60fps.
60FPS HD HTML5 High Bitrate player begs to differ, son.

Their player is great for me, just auto hide the mouse like 100% of other players out there.

Sometimes I hit play and the whole player goes black and I have to refresh the whole page to fix it.

The video player has been ok for me since the last update.
Biggest issue is they have been running the same pre roll world of tanks ad for about a year so unless you want to feel embarrassed about esports every time you watch a GB video you are better off using youtube.
I would go yearly premium if Vinny and Jeff just riffed out a new pre roll ad every week for whatever is advertising like the bombcast.

The video bookmarking thing never works for me which means I usually need to watch the longer videos in one sitting.

I'm actually really liking Max on today's Spelunky video. I hope he's in more stuff in the future.
Yeah, HTML5 is fine at home for me but the only thing that will load at work is youtube or streaming (which really sucks).

The real best video player is the giantbomb buddy app player.

What the fuck is with the bombcrew's fixation with having meat = beef?

I didn't know there was an ad free version of the podcast for premium members. That's weird but I get it I guess.
Yeah, it's just their way of fulfilling their promise of no ads for premium members.
But, as a premium member, I love listening to their goofy podcast ads.
Not everyone has that amount of time/frustration to dedicate to a game.

Jeff talking about that pre-internet graphic chat room on the cast reminded me of the Sierra Network. That thing was ahead of it's time. I remember trying it in 94. Look like a social casual game interface from a decade later. It had stuff from Sierra's Hoyle game license, and a dungeon crawler by Dynamix, I think?
I use outlook at work. At home I just use web browser.

I was watching a Giantbomb best-of compilation clip and it shows Jeff and Ryan doing a quicklook[?] of a fighting game where the player can be hacked to bits but still continue fighting. The description of the video says it's Deadliest Warrior: The Second Game but I can't find the quicklook or even a page for it on Giantbomb. It's not the original Deadliest Warrior either because that quicklook is with Alex and Jeff.
Anybody know?

Here's a tip for non-premiums that want a player that isn't bad, but don't want to sacrifice the HD and 60fps.
Right click the video player and select "Inspect Element".
Double click this big block of text
Copy the URL that follows "Progressive HD". For newer videos, it's the one that ends in "4000.mp4". For some older ones it ends in "3000" and others it ends in "3500".
Paste the URL as is into the address bar. It should look like this - make sure there's no slash at the end.
Code:
v.giantbomb.com\/2014\/01\/13\/vf_nidhogg_ql_011314_4000.mp4Your browser should automatically deal with the wrong direction slashes and you can view the video with Chromes built in video player.
It lets you drag the bar to any time in the video, supports full 60fps (I believe it's HTML5!), and you get the nice bitrate of the HD videos.
You think that maybe some people don't care enough to play the game, but enjoy the Giant Bomb personalities enough to want to watch them play through it? I mean, I know it must be shocking to hear that not everyone thinks that the Souls games are the best thing since sliced bread. Just have a seat for a while until the dizziness stops.
On another note, does anyone have a link to the twitch stream that Patrick is using?

Patrick's desperation and the finding of the bonfire was great.
This was disappointing :c
The Bridge Building Simulator thing that some suggested a few pages back was marvelous. All of you should watch it
I'd take that down just to be safe. Downloading high quality videos is a premium feature.
You're basically teaching people how to pirate the content.
Yep, the greatest of all time.
"Oh, are you guys playing that new Harry and the Hendersons game?"
"I caught the Quidditch!"
etc.
Hm? Non premium users are allowed to watch the HD content, this is just another method of viewing it in the chrome browser since the default player isn't up to snuff. HD videos aren't a premium only feature anymore and you can't use this to access premium-only videos.
This is really no different than something like watching content using XBMC. Also, technically Youtube is also a "premium" feature, but you can just go to the Youtube page to watch the videos.
I don't think it's really piracy, but if any mods (EmCee!) have a problem with it I'll remove it.

Yeah, I want to say someone emulated that as well for a while.
Funny enough, the MMO they introduced - "The Realm" - is still up and running. They still charge for a subscription!
