Indeed, you're not the only one who didn't like Journey and not liking something is alright; people experience things in different ways. What I'm not clear on is the part where you say that you don't understand the reverence and praise the game received. Not liking something is one thing, but not finding it within or without yourself to understand why others might have a different appreciation of something is quite another.

Terrible is terrible, indeed. Contradiction, however, is not.

@glitches: Yeah, we're still working on it. I assumed throwing a solution over the wall would magically fix everything but my solution was too simplistic. We're still looking into the finer details. We do see the problems just don't have a good solution yet.

Alright. Will you update this thread once another solution has gone live?

@rvone: Progressive will always be your best option. HTML5 is really fringe option for people who don't have Flash or absolutely need the best quality in every pixel. Progressive will almost always give you the best experience because it adjusts to changing conditions on your PC and in the network. But because ZOMG! Its FLASH!!!! People think it sucks.

While I am sure you're right about what progressive will do for me (that honestly does sound pretty good), I have found that cpu usage is higher than html5 increasing battery drain which is why I like to default to html5. I'm not sure if it is some kind of optimization issue on my end but the difference is noticeable.

@rvone: As a subscriber, I default to youtube where possible for QLs and the like, and streaming for premium vids.

I never really used the YouTube option that much. Any benefits for you?

@rvone:

HTML5 video is a small percentage of our video plays so the impact isn't really that great and we've had some really high impact issues to deal with lately. I'll dedicate some time today to try to make things better.

Wait, so most people aren't using html5? Interesting. Which of the other options has the most plays? Streaming?

Just a general, honest question to the tech savvy people on this forum: can anyone explain how this slow desyncing even works? Or to rephrase it in the context of edgework's response: how does increasing bitrate on the back end cause a gradual audio/video desync during playback which can be user corrected by refreshing the video?

Also, why doesn't this happen with the progressive and streaming versions of the videos?

@edgework said:

Yeah sorry. There's so much going on right now and this is but one of many open issues. Drew and Vinny need to talk with the video guys in GameSpot and they all want to standardize on bit rates etc.. I don't believe that's happened because there's a bunch of other stuff going on. Like jSlack said Giant Bomb's video bit rate got bumped way up when we had to move them to a different publishing platform and that set off a bunch of discussions that lead to open questions that are still open.

TL;DR We know, we're working it on. Herding cats.

It might be "one of many open issues" but as a video focused site, can you really afford your main content to be the most frustrating thing about the site? Because from a user's perspective, apart from having no content at all, I can't really think of anything more annoying than having to restart your videos all the time because they keep desyncing.

I honestly thought Andrew Garfield was a good spiderman. Nobody seemed to like him?

I liked him a lot; he was a good Peter Parker/Spider-Man. His chemistry with Emma Stone was off the charts.

Go to the videos tab and click events. Done.

No, not done because that doesn't give me all the different podcasts.

The point being that the front page is poorly curated. I don't know if all these trailers draw more traffic than editorial content but it would be nice if the front page reliably surfaced the videos and podcasts coming out of E3; even a list with all editorial content in chronological order would be nice.
