Is anyone else having a problem with the video quality on Giant Bomb lately? When I start playing a video on their HD setting with the GB player, the quality is fine and everything looks good. Somehow though, as the video progresses the video quality drastically drops to 360p or below, to the point that small text in Quick Looks becomes nearly unreadable due to pixelation. It's been forcing me to watch their videos on Youtube lately, which doesn't seem to suffer the same problem.

are you doing progessive? stream? I always do progressive and never have had that issue.
 
Hey guys wasn't there a video where Ryan played Dark Souls or something for a while? Does anyone remember what section that was under?

I was wondering if this was real or some strange fever dream I had.

I think it was the "Welcome Back Tricaster Party" or something like that. In part 2 Ryan sits down for some Souls under Vinny's close supervision.

Part 1
Part 2

Edit: Damn you ultron, I even made pretty links and shit. :(

Thanks bud. I recently picked the game back up for a short bit and thought GB had done something with it.

I think the quick look was excellent with Matt Rorie at the controls, you might want to check that out too. I think they both basically cover the same short early section. Ryan does really well but I remember the advice he was getting from everybody was overly conservative and cautious.
 
srsly no one has seen grimlock rampaging on the main page? like not in the ads, right in the middle of the page. i think i'm losing it

What was the video where they had a TV with Vinny's face on it in the back? That was creepy/hilarious.

oh, those were the GOTY recap videos (the lats ones they did for 2011 games). the ones where they played a game that won for a major category.

Yeah, I watched it when it came out and just again a little bit ago.

The ending was pretty good. As was the boss tutorial part. I always thought DS would be a good endurance run game because of the usefulness two players could bring.

So is nothing planned until TNT? No more content today or tomorrow? That's a bit disappointing.

Yeah.

My opinion over the site is becoming more and more negative. This week is Gamescom yet it is as if it doesn't exist. There isn't even a break down of Sony's conference on the site, let alone information regarding the other news stories today. Very poor.

I know a lot of GAF say that GB is about the personalities and I would agree with you but that only gets you so far. I'm an adult gamer so I don't get drawn in to the cult of personalities like the younger GAF. I don't want to be buddy, buddy or have lots of in jokes.

If you look back over the past months there have been lots of opportunities to cover games but the content has been a drought. One of the biggest releases this year is in beta but where is Guild Wars 2? Obscure flight sims, but not one of the biggest MMO releases?

So that's it. I guess the site is no longer for me and I will stick with places like Edge, Eurogamer, RPS, and Polygon. And of course Idle Thumbs a podcast which has personality, humour and manages to discuss videogames.
 
It's kind of crazy, videogames are back this week, guys, and yet the site still feels like we're stuck in the doldrums of July. This week's ILM felt like Jeff was trying to figure out how little content they could get away with putting on the site this week. At least the "Coming Up" schedule is looking a little better now.

Been a pretty bad year for Giant Bomb, this year, unfortunately. Hopefully they can turn it around come October when the games really begin to flow forth.

Yeah it's such a bummer some of the equipment vinny says they need is apparently just rotting in the tested storage unit but they have to go through shitty cbs aquistions channels GROSS.

Honestly kinda expected a dip in content with the CBS thing but the crazy lack of subscriber stuff has bummed me out. Before the slow down pre purchase I really thought they had hit their stride with random pc game load last save jar times looking at vinnys arcade cab, it was awesome!

That said I still watch more giant bomb than my cable/netflix combined so I can't really complain.

Yeah it has been a pretty bad year. I wish the site well, and if things do turn around then I will definitely be back on board.

Until then I part ways the lackadaisical approach to content doesn't warrant my attention any more.
 
I still love the Blackshark (I think?) Flight Club, where they blow up and then respawn and can see their destroyed plane next to them. And then they respawn again on top of it. Classic.
 
Thumbs up on the Flight Club Overture.

Looking forward to the Olympic Games session they have coming up. I hope they organise some sort of tournament or have a medals table for the entire session rather than just play one game after another.
 
Good job on the Flight Club Overture, very nicely done indeed. What was the space shuttle clips from (the one that wasn't KSP)? I don't think I've ever seen that flight club.
