Hi guys,

This morning I noticed I can't open the comments panel under a video when I simply click on it. I can however, open it in a new tab. It does seem to fully function in that new tab, but I'm sure that's not as intended.

Browser: Google Chrome

OS: Ubuntu 12.10

EDIT: Appearantly it shouldn't appear when I click on it, as the comments section should be there by default. Swapping between the video tab and the comments tab didn't do anything. Also I should note that I thought this wasn't posted, since I got an Error 500 when clicking submit. Checking the forums later on a different PC (Windows 7, Chrome) made me realise it did get posted after all.

I picked up "talking yang" about something back when Ryan used it more often. Also, I caught myself laughing like Ryan does....

Don't you look at me like that!

@Khessed: ohhh, I've seen that BS case of theirs brought up on other forums :( For the lucky ones - The melodies we hummed of games in the past in Europe while growing up, were all 17.5% slower than what they were meant to be. We knew only our PAL 50hz timing, and not the correct timing things were meant to run on. We're willing to do a lot of dirty deeds to get our 60hz fix.

This, exactly. I was contemplating sending a PM to Patrick, see if he can't shed some light on the issue and maybe add some media pressure to the whole thing but I dunno if it would matter.

This and their import PSOne games not running on the speed they should (they run at 50hz, not 60 as ADVERTISED) make me wanna turn away from Sony and pass on the next console.

The way things are, right now they have to make sure everything can run on a 50hz CRT built long before 1995 over a composite video cable. With the next generation of PAL machines they have to chance of saying "thank you and good riddance" like Nintendo have with the WiiU, the first console to include a HDMI cable as a standard offer, and apparently as the only A/V cable. Backwards compatible online titles for PAL regions may remain 50hz in the next generation because France, Germany and Spain have something against learning the English language ever.

See here's the thing. I'm talking about games PSN lists as being import games (US or Japan). Examples offered in the EU PSN store are Alundra, Klonoa and Tomba. They're advertised, in store, that they run at 60 hz cause that's how these imports are intended. They run at 50hz on the PS3 (HDMI) but 60hz on the PSP, appearantly. So they don't work as intended. I see your point but that's not the way Sony presents the whole thing. But that's a conversation best left in a different topic, not this one :)

The new Playstation Store is TERRIBLE!!

So I tried to see if the new Walking Dead episode was out, (live in the EU) but daunted by the new, obscure layout, I decided to use the search function. That didn't work well, since that only ended up listing Rock band songs with the word "Walk" in it. Weird, since they should at least list the previous episodes. So then I went to the Game add-on page (since the new episode is an add-on) and I couldn't find it, despite the fact the icon for the Walking Dead is RIGHT THERE on the add-on button! So I give up and decide to take a look at the new (full game) releases for the week. Turns out the new episode was there...

HOW! WHAT'S THIS I DON'T EVEN.

Also, when you wanna download things, you HAVE TO put it in the shopping cart and check all the items out as a whole. Maybe some focus test turned up that most users do that anyway but yech. since going through the shopping cart is a 5 button-press-process of getting your shit downloaded, it's just so sluggish.

UI design at its worst. They didn't even announce this change anywhere on the Playstation service, at all. Neither did my fav game sites so I'll have to assume Sony didn't release a press statement or anything. This and their import PSOne games not running on the speed they should (they run at 50hz, not 60 as ADVERTISED) make me wanna turn away from Sony and pass on the next console.

/endrant. (sorry, I'll calm the eff down now >.>)

I've recently installed XBMCbuntu Eden 11.10 on a stand-alone PC, and the Giant Bomb app doesn't show HD. I'm sure I'm logged in, because I can see the latest Breaking Brad episode and the TNT shows. Audio is just fine.

The Emperor's New Groove remains an unsung Disney classic in my book.

@hfm: Yup, totally works!

@Khessed: I feel like I am in the very small minority on this game. I am going to play the game in the new art style. I have already played the original version, so playing in that mode will help make it fresh for me again. It would be a shame not to see the potentially cool things the developers did with this new art. Hopefully, more people will give the style a chance. I hope it flows well with the gameplay. As for all the modes being styled like Hero 30, here are my two cents: Yes, it is unfortunate to not have that gameplay variety. On the other hand, I found Hero 30 way better than those in my opinion (Knight 30 is a good second though, slightly sad to see it go.) Also, if the developers are able to add the intricacies of those original modes to make that gameplay at least a little unique or exciting, I would be totally okay with that. I am looking forward to playing it.

Fair point! Hopefully there's a demo for me to get used to the style. Or maybe a Quicklook?

I have this on PSP and this version seems to add nothing but a new (less interesting imo) art style and removes the other game modes.

So I have little interest in this.

If you have never played it it's worth a shot though, because the concept in pretty neat.

In this trailer's defense, I can't recall the trailers for the original game mentioned anything about the other game modes. But I agree about the art style; it is kinda meh.

If you look at the link posted earlier (link) it looks like they simply removed the other game modes.

Whoops sorry, didn't see that.

anyways; NOOOOOO! Looks like they made the other modes like Hero 30. That's too bad, I liked the diversity. Uncool.
