Also would like good sales on...

Ultimate General: Gettysburg
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
Space Hulk Ascension
Valkyria Chronicles
Final Fantasy IV
Deep Dungeons of Doom

Ultimate General: Gettysburg is *fantastic.* I don't really like strategy games but I found myself entranced by it; the interface is so intuitive that it makes everything better.
 
Is this normal? =d

I don't know, are you a huge porn lover?

Ubisoft sent the game to die. I don't understand why they didn't can it if they weren't even going to say anything before its release.

I guess it was just a sacrifice to tell investors "See? That's why we don't make games for the Wii U anymore" /conspiracy

Disclaimer: I'm pretty sure I'll end up buying the Wii U version, since I'm sure it'll reach 10€ earlier than the PC version at this point :lol

You absolutely should embrace it. Audio support is really nice, so yeah it can really enhance what you're trying to show.

Gifs? What year is this? Get with the times Doc :p


Here, take a look at this guide by a fellow gaffer.

Once setup, it becomes easy as pie to make webms out of almost everything.
Highly recommended.

See here's the thing right, while webm is a great container and sizes are stupidly small it's still a video format and not that embeddable. Plus it's reliant on the user agent being able to handle it. Hopefully APNG might get some more traction as file sizes and quality is leaps and bounds over gifs at this stage (plus that recursive backronym rings true 'Png's Not Gif's').

Of course there's always webp files which no one really has caught on to yet...
Smaller than gifs, just not as well supported.

But do webp have sound ?

Otherwise , Webm > webp still .
 
Wow...
Fears confirmed -- in that AK gameplay trailer, the batmobile segments looks janky and useless.
Interested in the story... definitely won't be picking it up for full price though.

NeoGAF could add support for the format so videos could be viewed in both desktop and mobile natively, but they haven't as yet. EviLore did post that it's a possibility. In the mean time most have installed the WebM addons which embed the videos inline (Chrome/Firefox, I use an older userscript version).

As for WebPs those I've used are enormous compared to the compression benefits of WebM. Like, a 2 second clip can be 6MB compared to 350kb. WebM is better suited to what most on GAF use clips for.

Imgur links are always broken on GAF but if I copy url and pate into new tab I can see them. Why?

Also that site is sloowwwww.

Format doesn't matter if it's hosted on different servers with different routes.
Also, have you tried in another browser?

Sadly just uninstalled them all yesterday..well not IE because I can't -.-

I won't even try in that thing...don't ask me to nnooooo!

Imgur links do load on other sites that aren't GAF oddly.

Hm. Maybe the linkthrough stuff is messing with it?
Try turning on your adblock/noscript for just a second to see if that fixes it?

Also, god damn at Mission 8b in Valkyria Chronicles.
That was almost harder than 7 =p

Still not going to play nice with Safari no matter what is done to the site. It's a video format not a animated picture replacement format. Couple that with audio as well and that takes away from the ability to have multiple instances on the same page at the same time without looping over one another. I know some folks are over the moon with webm as a container but it's not the answer to replacing gifs. You could run mp4 container files in most browsers for about a good 2-3 years before anyone here had heard of webm or the vp9 codec and no one was getting all excited about that and it's exactly the same thing.

So since I've been back in a big way to Planetside 2 this last couple of weeks (fyi game is a ton of fun, it has seen a BIG improvement from its release) I went to the game's store page, to check out some of the bundles they have. And I found this.

Any opinion on Aces Wild and Fearless Fantasy? These are two games I'm interested in the new bundles, but I wanna know if they are worth the time.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
Well that doesn't seem ripe for abuse at all.
