I generally don't get to watch the live stuff while it's happening, so it's all the finished vids for me.

It started with a big difference between the GBWest and GBEast vids. It was annoying, but I chalked it up to teething problems with the GBEast offices when they first started. But it's still happening, and as I said, it seems to be creeping into all their videos to one degree or another, recorded in both offices. It's not a huge difference in audio levels, but just enough where I generally have to adjust the volume level on every video now to get it at a comfortable level. It's especially noticeable though with the "Quick-Look" logo screen at the beginning of every vid, where sometime it shows fine, and then another video it's blaring.

My issue is volume levels are different in so many vids now. It was bad enough when there was a difference between the volume levels on GBWest and GBEast vids, but lately it seems like every single video that they put out these days has a different audio level.

Considering your business is video content, kind unprofessional.

Not necessarily about the player, but what's going on with volume compressing/normalization in videos? Seems like in the last couple months that audio hasn't been compressed/normalized in vids, and anytime the guys get loud, it blows out the volume, introduces static, and is really just annoyingly loud. A couple of times during the Dynasty Warriors QL, I thought I was going to go deaf when Jeff/Vinny yelled out and the volume went to crazy levels.

So much goodwill for Ryan out there, they need to make a movie of his life.

I'm getting the ball rolling.

Just came here to post this very thing. I guess it's new mics, but it really sounds like they're not running the audio through a compressor/normalizer.

Not into them, but I wouldn't be surprised if scented candles, along with aerosolized scents from companies like Glade, are cancer causing. I mean, it's chemicals you're intentionally inhaling.

Oh Jay. I'm surprised you can still stand, what with being weighed down by all those Special Olympics "Good Effort" medals.

Rabies... lots of bats carry rabies... I don't want 7 shots that are a foot long in my stomach... if I do I am going to be pissed off for a month afterwards. (I am serious. If I ever have to get rabies shots. I WILL be pissed.)

They don't really do that anymore, except in poorer countries. Now they just give you injection in the leg or arm.

But you didn't really need to try and kill it. Or run out of the house. Or clean your house afterwords. Something like 1 or 2 people die per year in North America from rabies these days. You had a better chance of getting a bad spider bite from those blankets than any danger from the bat.

I've tried to link my account several times to the Tested and GB app on the Boxee Box and it works, but everytime I quit and start the apps again I have to relink my account. Is there a way to keep this saved so I don't have to link it again? I couldn't find an answer, but didn't read everything in this thread.

I want to echo this issue. I am having trouble keeping my account linked. Quit the app and the next time I come back it forgets that I have linked my premium account. Not sure if it is the app or the box that is the problem since I have been having all sorts of issues with my Boxee Box.

This has been happening for a long time now. I've basically given up on GB ever fixing the issue.

Good god, I had a bet going with a friend that Brad was going to bring fucking SC2 up again right after E3. Where are the articles about chess championships or Boggle Tournaments? You know, stupid things like SC2 that no one gives a shit about except their core base of nutter fans.
