Brushfire Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 For some reason, I can not watch any video on the Escapist. Any of them. It's not that they aren't playing, it's that they aren't even loading. Like, as in, there is no place for the video on the page for them to appear. It's like it's been filtered out by adblock or something, except according to adblock, there isn't any video to block. The server itself seems to be not sending anything video-related to my computer at all.And yes, I checked adblock, it's not listing anything related to videos to block, and I've even tried disabling the entire site just to see if that was the problem. No good, video are still completely non-existent. I've made sure everything is up-to-date, and still nothing. I can only assume that I have been video-watching banned from the Escapist for some reason, or that Sony network hackers have somehow fucked with the page. Are you having the same problem across multiple sites?
The Damned Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Are you having the same problem across multiple sites? Nope, I just watched a Thor Trailer, and I was on GameTrailers before without any problems. Did you try another browser? IE shows a proper video border, but won't play the video at all (gives a red x and just sits there, doing nothing). But if I fuck with IE a bit, it will play eventually. So it must be something that Firefox doesn't like about that site. The thing is, I've had this pop up before, but it ended up fixing itself a few days later, if I recall correctly.
Mr. Bottle Rocket Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Portal 2 I pretty much expected him to say what he did in this one.
Scufo Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Portal 2I pretty much expected him to say what he did in this one. I agree with pretty much everything that was said. Really good, but not as good as first, because it has some minor flaws. Whereas Portal has none.
Thin Crust Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Again, the guy isn't there. He's in every episode for a year and then all of the sudden, he disappears.
The Damned Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 The thing is, I've had this pop up before, but it ended up fixing itself a few days later, if I recall correctly. Case in point: I can watch this week's episode without a single problem. Like I said, it's some random quirk that FireFox and/or The Escapist has.
Less Ashamed Of Self Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 This was another really good one. The last 3 have all made me lol quite a bit.
Less Ashamed Of Self Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 oh. okay? Yeah... um... who is this guy? There must be a backstory.
Mr. Bottle Rocket Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 There is, yahtzee scoured the net for the image of the most expressionless face he could find and he came upon this guy which he remarked as "being the only person whose expression showed no signs of any discernable emotion" (or something to that effect). That's it.

That's it.In other words, he's Yahtzee's "Nice Work" guy in the sense that we're probably never going to know who he actually is unless we randomly bump into him on the street?
Thin Crust Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Hey, he's a photo cutout of a person in a costume this time.
Arek the Absolute Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Hey, he's a photo cutout of a person in a costume this time. noone cares stop posting about it
The Damned Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 We missed last weeks. He covers Brink. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/3286-Brink
The Damned Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Last week was something about E3, skip it. This week is some game I've never heard of, but he seems to genuinely like talking about. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/3540-Hunted-The-Demons-Forge
Thylacine Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 ??? Last week was the Witcher 2 (which I can't get a link for because my computer isn't loading the Escapist - Did Lulzboat attack again?). He hasn't done an E3 video this year. He only did a write-up on Extra Punctuation. And if he does do it, it might get postponed another week because everyone will be wanting DNF (which should be a fantastic review).
The Damned Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 I think you're right. I've must be thinking of another video I saw. Too many E3 videos, all overlapping. I'm getting them mixed up.
Thylacine Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Alice: Madness Returns This one feels like a return to form for Yahtzee. Honest, clear-cut, simple metaphors throughout, and just enjoyable to watch. (Dead thread is dead - not hunting the other reviews down at this moment).
KyleJCrb Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Poor Yahtzee. He sounds more deathly ill than usual when he gets sick this week.
