Jar Time w/ Jeff: Pre-Xbox Reveal QA Extravaganza - 05/20/2013

Video works on mobile for me

@cosmic: yeah video no workah for meauh

Not working for me either currently.

Works for me. Thanks Jeff!!

maybe someone should re upload this video given that non subscribers on PC can't see it?

Glad 'jarless' was in the description. No, thank you!

Still not working for me, but it's on their youtube channel now so check it out there.

No offense to old Jeffo, but I'm surprised he does these little opinion pieces, being someone who's against the spin that goes on in the gaming press. I get it's popular but kind of pointless when the event is hours away.

still doesn't work for me. my sub expired so i can't do html 5 :(

La Video is Foooooked..............Go Xbox

If anyone has Windows 8, download the app and run the video through that. seems to work for me there.

Your site really has been quite awful since you revamped it. Vids takes ages to load if they do at all. I can´t see this one at all.

Awaiting hot Microsoft dumps from the truck.

I know that hotel room anywhere!

Jeff I'm coming over to say hi; I'll bring bourbon.

Youtube version of the video works

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I kept finding myself staring into it.

"HEY XBOX. JAR." Ballmer shouted after stumbling onto the stage. Peter tried to stop him but it was already too late. The sky flared red beyond the clouds as thousands of glowing glass jars rained down upon Microsoft's Redmond campus. Jars filled with the hopes and dreams of children across the land - and of course, their rich tasty courage.

Turn the tape to side B.

Thanks. I've had escalating video problems on the new site (streaming speed hiccups, sound restarting after video finishes, etc) but this is the first one that's openly rebelling against being watched.

With everything said and done, I think Kameo was actually my favorite 360 Rare game. Though Nuts & Bolts was pretty fun as well.

Love that Dutch angle.

Jeff be drinkin outta cups instead:

Am I the only one for whom the video doesn't work?

Youtube version works... you should probably watch it first and then look up Q&A.

I can't get this to load. It's not the only video either. The Mad Dog McRee quicklook doesn't load either. Just sits on the loading bar, frozen. :(

Huh. So progressive and streaming of all qualities doesn't seem to work, but HTML 5 does. Good to know.

YES ! there he is ! :D our hero, lol

Welcome back to Seattle. This is all very exciting. Oh... the video's not loading. What's going on?

Edit - Well, if anyone else doesn't find it working for them either, just go here.

@ptys: People ask him questions and he answers them as good as possible. At no point is he making up stuff or spreading rumors. At most he's reciting known rumors and gives his own opinion on how likely/unlikely they gonna end up as being true. If there is something he doesn't know/ain't sure about he's pointing that out.

Did you never watch a jar-time video before?

@joshth

I don't think that's a mole, rather an sore pimple or something like that.

Just use HTML 5 for every video, I started doing that recently and had almost no problems with any of the videos.

I'm living proof that you can in fact get away with eating only white rice for a good long time. Get some cheap powdered curry that you just add hot water to and you've got yourself some sweet curry & rice.

It's a reset for the console wars

...and don't think "PC Master Race" is any better.

I'm talkin' about the PS Triple.

I ain't tryin to play no games with no DIL-DO.

Be careful of malnutrition, at least get some canned fish to go with it, or maybe tomatoes.

It's off-camera, but if you squint you can see the door is ajar.

Collusion!

The set top box stuff is entirely irrelevant outside of America as well. We don't have cable TV or any of the providers and shit that people talk about when they are discussing that crap, so going heavy on that is the dumbest thing MS could do.

I edited my comment as it was a bit harsh, still always wondered though as it seems so... unGertsmann?

This is what worries me. They can't possibly release a feature light box to the rest of the world, right? There has to be something more that makes it seem competitive. I don't give a fuck about having Sky on my Xbox.

Dutch angles up herr.

I really couldn't care less if Respawn's game shows up on the new XBox or not. That will not convince me to buy this system.

Does no jar mean no play? We demand jars!

Does not appear to load using any of the video play settings

Probably the only poorly designed technical aspect of your site are the videos. I constantly have issues playing them, and if I pause them for a length of time and go back to play them again they'll start over instead of picking up from where they left off.

HTML 5 works

is this video dead ?

@whoopassrambo3: Youtube worked for me.

*hand up* I hear it!

After listening to Jeff's predictions come true constantly I'd say he's probably spot on with everything he says about the Next-Box.

The video is working fine on the YouTube channel:

@feetoffthesky: What the hell? Why do I find this so funny?

Interesting Q&A. Very curious to finally see how MS will postion their console. (Downloading the video on high quality worked for me btw.)
