Got the invite, thanks. Good to be back.

Hey guys, been gone for a while. So much so I don't recognize a lot of the game anymore :p. Any chance I can come back? My white and pink Valkyr misses her dojo :p.

So the plot thickens. I was able to watch Blue Bombin' fine but UPF gave me a similar issue to the Bombcast live. It would cut out after 5-20 seconds or so but this time it would just freeze instead of jumping back to an earlier part of the stream.

I was trying to watch the Bombast live today and the video kept stopping after 5-10 seconds and the dropping me back to an old ad break. It would show Drew sitting alone at the controls while a Blue Pron ad played. It would then go to random break music. I tried refreshing dozens of times and it kept doing it.

I also logged out, cleared my cache, closed all running apps and restarted my device (iPad 4). I've watched almost every bombast live and many other live shows from this iPad and this is the first time I've had any thing like this happen. Normal archived videos seem to play fine still.

I emailed support about this and Rorie suggested I post here and tag @wcarle. So here goes.

I appreciate any and all help.

Thanks.

It really feels like Ubisoft is just looking for another reason to stop making PC versions. It felt like this back during the DRM debacle. I never really planned on buying either of their upcoming games but a lot of PC gamers probably did.

Patrick suggested on Twitter that people should probably speak with their wallets on the matter, but I feel that would just fulfill what I fear. That being that Ubisoft would use the lower PC sales as a reason to just stop making PC games, stating that its not worth the resources or whatnot. It really feels like a catch-22.

I'd really prefer not to have to keep track of purchases on yet another digital distribution platform. I hope it turns out for the best for my fellow PC gamers who enjoy the Ubisoft games, either uPlay becomes a better application or they see the light and offer the games on Steam again.

I know I'm late to commenting on this but I wanted to get a word in anyways;

I can fully understand strongly disagreeing with someone's stance, ethics, methods or message but this is not the way to go about arguing against it. I really wish people would realize they would get so much more traction, especially in a case like this, by doing a little research, knowing Sarkeesian's work and formulating structured, scholarly counter arguments to her points. Either in an essay or in talks of their own, as unpopular as anti-feminist talks may be, if properly presented in an educated way more people would be willing to listen or at least humour them.

That way they would look a little more credible, if not still behind the times, but at least they wouldn't look like total psychopaths. Same goes for the gamergate people, though the "movement" seems about as organized as a Canadian sit in opposing Rob Ford (I live in Toronto, trust me those protests were laughable and did nothing more than slow traffic on Queen & Bay for a few hours). If the GG people would write some proper papers voicing their grievances, rather than shouting on Twitter people may take them more seriously.

But I guess that's like asking a cult to write a scholarly dissertation on why they believe their "religion" is the "right" religion instead of preaching from the rooftops (or in a modern context, social media).

So Bungie gave me a few extra beta keys, unfortunately none of my personal friends have PS4s... So I'm giving them to the GB community, I'm leaving out a number (1-9) on each key. First come-first serve, enjoy :)!

Also if you manage to get one of the keys, post here so people know when the keys are gone and don't waste time trying for nothing.

Hey guys just so you guys know my main PC (writing this on my macbook) has been compromised by either a trojan or an annoying piece of malware, I'm not sure. It doesn't look like so far *crosses fingers* that any of my accounts have actually been touched. Either way I'm not risking using my main PC till I can get this rectified.

What this will entail is a new hybrid drive to replace my current HDD, and a complete reinstall of windows 7. I ran Malwarebytes, Microsoft Security Essentials and Super Anti Spyware a number of times after the first incident. I say incident because on one hand it looked like an attack (someone typing into my Chrome omnibar) but it could also be a piece of malware that triggers in Chrome since I've only noticed this behaviour in Chrome. My mouse never moved on its own, at least not that I noticed anyways. Anyways the first run of Malwarebytes found 3 objects which I deleted. Every scan after that came up clean so I thought I was all good, but then I got attacked again at around 1am EST last night. The odd thing is these attacks or whatever happened between 1 and 2 am each time. I havent re hooked up my PC to the web since the 2nd incident just in case and I'm not going to till I get it reformatted.

Regardless it will take a least a week for me to get the new drive and set up my PC again, going to wipe the old drive and just use it as extra storage since its still good. Hopefully the infection isn't a rootkit and lodged in the drive's cache.

Anyways long story short I wont be online for at least a week, but please let me know via private message on these forums if you see odd activity coming from my account. If I don't respond to tells, or act erratically, etc. It's probably not me.

Also I did use another device to change my warframe password.

Thanks

That last one is, Christ all mighty. Who would've thought a couple dozen pixels could be so moving.

Good bye Mr. Davis, you are an inspiration to us all.

I can't stop crying.
