Great article. I love that companies (and not just game companies) are becoming more transparent about the process that creates their products. I would absolutely be more willing to support something knowing the amount of money and effort that goes into it.

I have bought, and will continue buying, every "extra" that he includes with this game. I want to support this game because it's absolutely fantastic. The new 8-player mode he added (also for free) is amazing! Played with 7 players the other night and it was crazy!

Great article, Patrick. I agree that another dissertation on sexism in games/marketing would have been tired. Reading a variety of opinions from various women in the industry has been enlightening. However, reading so many of these comments that defend the statue or just straight hate on you for doing your job is making me sick. I never thought the Giantbomb community could hit such a low point, but I see the same bile spit on videos an articles almost every day now. It's very sad. Keep on doing what you do, Pat! There are those of us that appreciate your honesty and guts in bringing light to the dark corners of the industry.

The site has had this issue with HTML5 for a few months now, no fix that I know of.

probably won't be fixed until the new site is up.

Ah that's true, the new site design is coming quite quickly. Somehow totally forgot about that! I'll have to be patient then. :P

What browser are you using? Chrome Version 23.0.1271.97 m

What Operating System are you using? Windows 8 64-bit (up to date)

What is the exact link to the page you are having a problem with? Issue happens on any and all videos when using the HTML 5 player

Player Settings: HTML 5, HD

So I recently switched to using the HTML 5 player since it's the only player that displays videos in true HD when in full screen (the other players just expand the size, causing bad interlacing/jaggies). It worked fine for a while, but now the issue below happens every few minutes. I'm pretty sure the issue I'm having relates to my recent update to Windows 8, but who knows?

ISSUE: I can start watching videos fine with the HTML 5 player, but after a few minutes the video will stop playing and stop loading. When I hit play to restart the video, it will jump back to the beginning of the video. I can then click on the timeline to go back to where I was, but it seems like the same issue happens more frequently after this unless I refresh the video page. In fact, it eventually get's to the point where clicking somewhere in the timeline will jump right back to the beginning almost instantly. The issue happens in any size (small, big, and full screen).

I've tried the usual stuff like re-installing Chrome or disabling my ad blocker, but the issue persists. Anyone else seeing this or know of a workaround?

This is the first post in the forums I've made in a long time. That was fucking incredible. Thanks for taking the time to make it perfect.

I would love to be a fly on the wall in these marketing meetings. There are so many terrible campaigns out there, and it really makes me wonder considering these companies are supposed to be aware of the world around them in order to advertise to it.

@jeffrud: @kermoosh: It's an actual quest here. Can't we all just get off our high-horses and stop caring about top commentors in the first place? So much bitching over spilled milk.

THIS. when GB offers a quest that can only be completed by being first comment, how can we get mad at people for going for it? i just finished this quest last week and i'm quite happy lol.
