One thing that's always bugged me is how CS (and all FPS games) get covered as "eSports" -- particularly in camera angles.

Dota, LoL, and most other MOBAs are straightforwardly similar to a traditional arena -- you have a main camera that overlooks the action, and then you may have multiple views that a director can switch between. CS, by default, tends to spectate from the player POV. If you're an experienced viewer, it's no big deal, but for a newcomer it's completely confusing. You have no idea of the layout of the arena, no good place to get your bearings, and the camera is constantly shifting either from player movement, player deaths, or just swapping from player to player.

The game might (not necessarily will) be better served by using predefined camera locations for the main gameplay feed and supplementing that with the first-person perspectives. CS even has time between rounds that give the commentators a chance to go back and break down key plays.

Does this support Plex Sync? The "official" channel doesn't, which is a huge bummer.

Does the Plex channel support sync? Right now I use Plex for basically everything, even on my phone & tablet, but I use GB Video Buddy since it lets me download videos ahead of time.

@rorie: this isn't just an issue with the lending library. A lot of titles have crappy "essays" with confusing titles designed to prey on users.

Amazon is screwing up curation of their store in a major way, and doesn't seem to care. The "singles" and self-publishing have done wonders for authors, but it's also left scummier types a bad opportunity.

So, this is a weird one. I'm running iOS 7.1.1 (most recent as of this post), and using Safari, no jailbreaks, etc.

When I try to click on the text box to add a new post, it won't select. If I reply directly to a user, I can't click the "Post Reply" button. The create thread functions are working though.

@ZombiePie Nope, not Spano. But I thought that logo could look good on the right shirt. Replace the fisherman with Vinny holding a camera and the waves on the bottom with a logo, and it could look nice.

Also, screw Mike Milbury. How is that shoe-weilding ass-hat still employed in the hockey world? The Islanders are still recovering from his "genius".

I'd love to see someone take the old "Fishstick" NY Islander's logo from the 90s and put a GB spin on it.

Between the black & silver McLaren and the Martini Williams, today was one sexy looking race.

I do kinda wish the numbers were a little more "in your face" -- it's still hard to tell which team member you're watching at first glance.

I'm still not getting any videos available in Plex, and it's been more than a week without an update from the staff. Is the API still having issues?
