  • Videos that used to work, that no longer do - getting worse

    First it happened with this one, when it would do nothing but "buffering:"
    http://www.wegame.com/watch/System_Shock...

    And now this one is doing it:
    http://www.wegame.com/watch/Crazy_Kong/

    And this one:
    http://www.wegame.com/watch/Monkey_Donke...

    And this one:
    http://www.wegame.com/watch/Elevator_Act...

    There may be others, I dunno. These videos used to work, now they no longer do, so I suspect the problem isn't with the videos themselves. Any ideas?

  • What's wrong with this video?

    Yeah, I tried it twice. The second time was here:

    I didn't want to try it a third time in case they all showed up, and I looked like some kind of video spammer :)

    http://www.wegame.com/watch/Alone_in_the...

    It meets the time, size, and format requirements but it won't post for some reason.

    Thanks for all your help!

  • Video not playing, used to work

    This video no long plays, but it used to work fine. Now it just sits there, buffering and has a 0:00 runtime. Ideas?

    Yeah, I'm incredibly excited about this game. Too bad it was pushed back, it would have been a fun game to play over the summer.

  • PC vs Console Gaming

    I've always been a PC gamer. When I do buy a console, it generally sits there and gathers dust. I currently don't even own a next-generation (or, I guess, a this-generation) console, although I'd like a PS3 because I have a high def TV and could use it as a Blue-Ray player.

    BTW, anyone interested in buying my HD-DVD player? :)

    Anyway, I prefer PC gaming for the following reasons:

    - Cheaper. It seems that PC games generally have a lower retail price than their console counterparts and, moreover, they fall in price faster. I know you could make the argument that PC gaming hardware is more expensive, but this discussion gets circular and twisted very quickly due to the multi-use non-gaming capabilities of the PC. Which, indirectly, leads me to my next arguement:

    --- Customizable. I love the fact that PC games are heavily modifiable. I love downloading user made content. I love updated graphics of older PC games. I love substituting my own music. And remapping the controls. And being able to choose between graphics and performance. And tweaking ini files. Console gaming always seems so constrained to me - choosing between control configuration A, B, or C doesn't cut it. Let me remap every single button if I want to.

    Out of the box I didn't like Oblivion very much. With all the user-created mods and content, its a MUCH better game. I couldn't have done this with a 360.

    --- Dungeons and Dragons. I grew up playing DnD, so I'm more inclined to enjoy a good western RPG instead of the Japanese style.

    --- Multi-player. Admittedly, consoles have made amazing headway in this area recently. But we were stringing coax cable around our apartment back in college, to play Doom over IPX networks. That's a heck of a head start. And I enjoy MMOs, which haven't seem to taken off on consoles (probably due to lack of keyboard acceptance).

    --- Keyboard and mouse FPS FTW. I know there are people in this very thread who have stated the exact opposite, but for my money the game pad absolutely sucks when it comes to FPS, a genre which I really enjoy.

    --- Superior graphics - Yeah, I know this is a continual leapfrogging between console and PCs. But prior to HDTV, there was no contest between standard def TV and what a PC could do. With the current generation of consoles and HDTV, this argument is increasingly moot.
