I enjoy Zombie Flux a good deal although some things in flux are kinda busted. Catan as was already mentioned is fantastic, Ticket to Ride and Carcassonne are both a joy to play. You can get digital versions of most of those so that's kind of a plus as well. I'm also a huge fan of Gloom (card game) but i rarely get to play it anymore.
@Brackynews: That's kind of what i was assuming but wasn't finding exactly the right answer from search. I guess i was just hoping that the player would handle it mare gracefully than just ending the video there. The worst/confusing part is where the video will choke at exactly the same point over and over again until i play it a day or so later. I'll make the jump to all progressive and see how that goes for me. Thanks for the info.
I've had this issue happening since paid membership/HD video was available but it has been extremely intermittent. What usually happens is about 2/3 of the way through the video it will simply stop playing. This has occurred with a lot of videos and across multiple whiskey media sites. I've only noticed this with the Streaming option and haven't extensively used the progressive one. Most recently the Tested thermos video did this to me and i did what i always do: switch to the high setting and watch the rest of the video. Like i said the issue is fairly random but appears to happen most on videos that were posted that day (maybe a distrubuted server issue?)
I'm running:
chrome v 12.0.742.91 beta-m, Windows 7 64bit, nvidia gefore gtx460 (driver v. 267.24). I've had this issue across different versions of browser, drivers and with another card so i doubt that is the issue.
Sorry for lazy/incomplete repro steps but i've been a little busy lately, i will try to troubleshoot further if this isn't already a semi known issue (didn't see anything while searching).
I'm a fan of a local seattle area White Whiskey called Headlong White Dog Whiskey (http://www.woodinvillewhiskeyco.com/products/headlong-white-dog-whiskey/) and it makes a great mixing whiskey. It's flavorful for a white whiskey and is rather bold. I wouldn't drink it straight but every time i've mixed it i've had a great drink.
Good example of cheap special effects, mostly shot in one room (i think just one entirely) and pretty effective at creating some tension. Also Canadian? i think?
despite some hiccups its good to see microsoft developing this community and addressing issues. It could have easily been another false start product like Game Room and just gone away but thankfully its still evolving. Hopefully in the next few updates we will see smarter sorting of the xbox live marketplace and better surfacing of good titles. It would be nice to get some community teams together to start a iTunes style "game of the week" for the indie channel so devs could get some more support. Since there are a lot of titles out there they could easily draw from whats been up for a while and shine a light on some of the lesser known entries.
