If it's affecting me, it's probably affecting other users, so I thought if say something. The new episode of Metal Gear Scanlon isn't loading on any device I have, and when I try on my iphone I get a distinct error message that says "The requested URL was not found here."

I'm hoping this is just Jason messing with us the way that the end of Sons Of Liberty messes with us. Haha.

Anyway, I'm sorry, I know it's Christmas Eve, but I thought I'd point it out because it looked like it hadn't been reported yet. Who knows, maybe it's only affecting me.

Nope, same for me. I'm stuck at work and now the final chapter won't load. Christmas is ruined!

Wouldn't load for me until I switched it to "Progressive" under quality instead of Streaming. Dunno if that will fix it for you.

The video wouldn't work for me when I had the quality as 'Auto' or 'HD', but I can start it if I switch it to 'High' or 'Low'.

I think the HD link is busted, and that's the one it tries first on auto quality.

It wouldn't work for me until I randomly played with the settings for a while then it suddenly worked on the HTML 5 high setting. Don't know if that'll work or not for everyone.

I can confirm that the High quality setting works (for download anyway) and the HD version links to nothing. Same seems to be true for streaming.

The HD video is broken. You need to click on HD under the Downloads and then it will fail to load. At the top in the URL you will see a sequence of numbers that are the date. The DAY is wrong. Put it on the correct day and hit enter.

It's like a puzzle. Can you solve it?

They know:

It seems to be because they typed in the URL of the video file wrong. It's dated the 22nd instead of the 23rd. See the following GIF for a tutorial of how to download HD correctly, the crew aren't going to fix it till after Christmas. (Thanks to @TheDutchSlayer on Twitter for the GIF.)

OK, I give up, how do you fucking wizards embed tweets on the forums? Every time I try it fails spectacularly.

Try changing your video player settings before you play the video, specifically drop the the video quality to 'high' and try that.

If that doesn't work, and if you're premium, click on the download button to the left of the video player and select 'high'. A new window should open and play the video.
