Hay guys you should mention when you advertise NETFLIX that the EU version is rubbish and has about 40% of the stuff on the US version of Netflix. Thus if you live in the EU its not really worth it… not even for 30 days. If you need evidence of such I can easily take a screenshot of the Anime and any other genre list and post it up here for you to compare. An easy example is the fact Full Metal Alchemist and other Anime’s often shown in Mike S’s list are not on the EU one. NOT EVEN ANCIENT ALIENS IS ON EU!

  I don’t even have Netflix in my country
  
  still, there’s no harm on trying the free 30 days trial, right?

    There are things where you can get the movie’s at allot better quality for free.

      I’ll challenge the “lots better quality” statement if you are talking about the video sites that steal video content.

Great show! I think you’re fine talking about Firefall’s TwitchTV integration. It was reported on other sites in Dev interviews as early as August 21st

You need to sort out the audio in this show so it’s always the same volume. Right now when you start a sentence two of you have a tendency to speak really loud and then quiet down. It’s really annoying and gives me a headache, especially the girl…

I’d really love for this show to always stay one volume, I’ve set my speakers at a steady volume. It’s really annoying especially as flat mates complain about the noise, however some points it’s too quiet and at some points it’s massively loud.

  Had to cut the show cuz of a sniding headache from the hotelroom noise, almost couldn’t understand anything said from there. Very saddening. Missed the studio quality.

Sorry but with this bad video and sound qvality i woud rather wait another week and get a show with proper qvality
- Darren Fraser-Green
  
  Agreed.

  I’m okay with the “combat style” video quality.
- Jerry Hsu
  
  I agree mostly on the sound quality side. If there was ever a time to not broadcast live, this would have been it. I would have preferred that everyone in the hotel room was mic’d individually and recorded locally and then mixed in later.

Dear Gary Gannon,
Please sale that thing, that thing that is the opposite of gaming, that thing that cannot play so many games, that thing that should not be used by the host of GAMEbreaker.

Ha ha, anyways, WHY?!?!?

I am still a viewer, you just lose like 5 originality points.

  Lol, you mean the laptop that is really, really good at video production so he can create gaming news hits and option shows.

Hotel WiFi makes me sad. It’s always struck me as very ironic that the worst places to try to access the internet are tech conferences.

  You are right. It would cost alot of money and effort to get a good connection there.

Planetside 2 sucks so bad, the shooting just feels all floaty, the map design is poor, really annoying to negotiate ground vehicles around it and the lighting is all messed up. Like I feel like I can never see anything from all the over use of lighting just blocking my view and all the fog and effects.

Most importantly though is it doesn’t feel like Planetside and so it doesn’t feel like Planetside 2. The game just….. I dunno it has no identity and is such a disappointment. My friends who played Planetside with me all tried it and have the same feeling towards Planetside 2……. it’s just not Planetside.

It is like what Everquest 2 was to Everquest…… it’s not the sequel the fans wanted, it feels so dumbed down.

  One man’s opinion. Plenty of previous PS2 vets love it.

Neat having people casting from PAX. Is it me or does Gary sound weird whenever he calls in? lol

Nice tidbits everyone, Sounds like maybe I should give Firefall a closer look, intriguing info. Wildstar is also keeping my interest.
