I have no problem with him.
RT site has a new player. Proper HTML5 and it actually works this time!.
Current improvements:
- The cursor now disappears after a second or two when in full screen
- The arrow keys can now skip forward/backwards and change the volume
- There is now an auto-play style "binge watch" feature that, after 10 seconds of a video being over, will play a new video unless you hit cancel.
- Videos load a bit faster, and actually play on the PS4/Xbox One browsers now
- The design is overall better better
- It's an actual HTML5 player now, which means it's quicker than the old one
Current problems (some of these may have carried over from the old one):
- No Chromecast support [URL="https://www.reddit.com/r/roosterteeth/comments/50p0z2/psa_the_website_has_a_new_video_player/d75tpq9"](being worked on)[/URL]
- Can't disable the binge watch feature [URL="https://www.reddit.com/r/roosterteeth/comments/50p0z2/psa_the_website_has_a_new_video_player/d75wkl7"](being worked on)[/URL]
- The queue function is a bit aggressive at removing titles now [URL="https://www.reddit.com/r/roosterteeth/comments/50p0z2/psa_the_website_has_a_new_video_player/d75yrj1"](being worked on)[/URL]
- The stop/resume feature where it remembers where you are in the video is currently not in. [URL="https://www.reddit.com/r/roosterteeth/comments/50p0z2/psa_the_website_has_a_new_video_player/d75wdwa"](being worked on)

And the big thing:
- You cannot select the video quality at the moment. It'll dynamically do it, but that can be a problem if you have data caps or are trying to buffer HD video beforehand. [URL="https://www.reddit.com/r/roosterteeth/comments/50p0z2/psa_the_website_has_a_new_video_player/d75w890"](Also being worked on)[/URL]
One (or maybe two) of the engineers that worked on the player [URL="https://www.reddit.com/r/roosterteeth/comments/50p0z2/psa_the_website_has_a_new_video_player/d75t8qr"]was brought on a month ago[/URL], so RT seems to be caring about the site's usability now, which is real good to see.
Some other hot news is that [URL="https://www.reddit.com/r/roosterteeth/comments/50p0z2/psa_the_website_has_a_new_video_player/d75z3p2"]the site may be getting a dedicated sponsors/first video section and a better search system.[/URL]

they wont kick all the unfunny people from RT
they hired matt, jack co-founded AH, even fucking brandon is still there
I was watching a youtube video on my iPod and an advert came up for On the Spot. I thought it was neat, I didn't realize RT did youtube advertisements.
And speaking of RT Advertisements

The new site player is alright but I'm sick of it constantly switching between HD and this disgusting 240p blurry mess
Youtube runs perfectly at HD, why is the site frantically hopping between qualities

I love these random AMAs the Cast/Crew do on planes

Geoff said they're switching to Minecraft PC soon.
Hopefully Ryan, Jeremy, or Matt make some sort of paper guide for the rest of them to follow for simple crafting recipes. If they don't I can already predict the first thing Michael will say is "Uh, guys? How do I make a pickaxe?"

Followed by the "Who cares if the audience thinks its funny." despite the fact that a child could learn it and it would mean a lot less time fucking around.

I mean I learned the important shit like pickaxes and swords and axes and [I]all of the shit that makes sense[/I] when I was 12 in the November after the game hit alpha.
Like, the only thing I have problems with is fences (because I never committed the thing to memory, I just throw sticks and wood in a crafting table over and over again hoping I eventually get a fence) and the late-game stuff (because my friend usually handles that shit if we're playing together)

I mean jfc half the shit is just making the shape of whatever with appropriate materials.

I'd imagine they may eventually use a mod to make crafting like it is on the console version.

honestly if you guys are watching the minecraft LP's and get frustrated by them because they don't memorize recipes for shit, then you're watching the videos for the wrong reason. "Who cares as long as the audience finds it funny" is literally the god damn point of these videos.
I get frustrated when they don't know how to do something when it's right in front of them.
"Press LT to throw grenade"
"How do I throw a grenade"
Or if they have a marker to the next objective
"Where do I go?"

"I don't know what I'm doing." becomes boring after 200+ episodes. I'm not saying they're unfunny, I'm saying i wish they would have evolved in their skills at least a little.

As I was watching this I downloaded the mod to try it, I ran into an NPC wearing Ryan's skin lol.

You realize theyre talking the entire time theyre playing a game that everybody hates. Its tough to learn a game you hate while youre trying to fill dead air the whole time.

They haven't hated it the whole time they've been playing it though.
[QUOTE=Leestons;51025524]They haven't hated it the whole time they've been playing it though.[/QUOTE]
You can tell they hate it now, thats why they don't pay a lick of attention to most of the games new mechanics. They only know it as well as they do because they've sat through thousands of hours of it. They only sit through it all because its their biggest money maker. Go back and watch the early LP's when all 6 of them first got together, you can tell they were having way more fun with it.
Now they're just sitting through monopoly again.
You can tell if they like a game if they're actually paying attention to it and learning it's mechanics. Thats why they all know dead by daylight and GTA 5 by heart, and don't pay attention for shit for god awful games like minecraft.

Someone should do this with all of the stories on the podcast.

I just noticed the episodes were 200 apart as well.
4:17 is gold though.
