Does someone want to test something for me?

[SUBMAN1]

See if you can download this file:

http://p-cache.veoh.com/cache/external/148c5735336f5ec1a8c3b770c5920ca85addaf9e.avi?perma linkId=v1264900nscearD8

There still may be a way to provide full res videos from Veoh.

PS. The above video is of BioShock in case you care. It is rather large - 300 MB.

[Linton]

As I type it is showing 43% downloaded(140ishmb)
56% now -do you want me to download all of it??

[Linton]

Down loaded -now what do you want me to do with it?
By the way that will be a case of Tanqueray thank you!

Will take me 12 minutes or so to complete the download, but it is indeed an aavi file that im geting and i guess this is what you wanted to know in the first place.

I don't have the highest speed connection (1.5Mbps, it'll go to 7Mbps on Monday) but it is D/Ling at 1.25Mbps to 1.3Mbps now which is about my fastest based on the tests I've made.

[antikristuseke]

Out of curiosity, how much will you be paying for that 7mbit line?

Less than I was for the 1.5Mbps line which for some reason, probably market competition, was USD $44.99/month. I signed up on a two year contract for USD $36.99/month. I was set up for month-to-month @ USD $44.99/month for the 1.5Mbps. Did I repeat myself?

Not a bad price then, i had heard rumours that broadband is loads more expensive in the states that it is here, but the price difference isnt that bad, actualy it is very similar. Though arround here it is impossible to find a stand alone broadband connection over 2mbits, you have to get something like a package deal i have which is cable tv+phone+breadband of 4mbit for 30usd a month like i have. The next step is a 15mbit line for 54 usd a month but im a bit to cheap to get that.

Guess it works then. The tests shows that someone not related to the account still can grab the original file!

Thx! :yep:

I guess Veoh didn't go completely backwards if you can still download the file. Matter of fact, I may consider that an improvement since you had to download their client in the past to get at your file downloads! :up:

The D/L took about 38 minutes for a twelve and a half minute vid that was 322Mb.

I had to do some bundling myself but the increase on the bundling was less than USD $3.00/month so I saved approx USD $7.00/month.

Have you tried the VeohTV beta, other night i went to watch a film, saw the beta download option, so DL and installed. To me its not much different than MS Media Centre. It comes with a few channels (Discovery channel!) :rock::lol: Although limited viewing.

Subman1,
Seems I had more important things to do in my lifetime...................:D:D:D

[SUBMAN1]

Thx again! That made my day. Shows that you can still get a HQ video off Veoh! At least till they close this loophole.

Anyway, if you want the second half, check this thread:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=123073

As you can see - I was playing a bit for the video. The first guy (in part 1) I tried to make it look like I was learning. You actually have to have good reaction times to survive, but not great reaction times. The capability to respawn upon dying even lessoned the need and lessoned the dread you would normally face against strong foes - I wish this factor was removed, but I guess this is what idiot console gamers expect.

For the hell of it, I just screwed around with the second guy. I simply laid him out without a scratch and without breaking a sweat (using tactics I screw with online gamers in too - they wouldn't expect me to change rooms like that, and I usually end up hitting them in the back without them knowing because of it). The third guy was a test on how fast you can kill one of these AI idiots in a confined space with a wrench. The forth guy on fire, I just whacked to make him go away after pretending to run - I shoudln't have wasted my time and whacked him up where he came out.

Hopefully I made it look like I was playing BioShock for the very first time anyway. I screwed around with the rest all the way to the end of the first level. Playing like I am scared about the first gun weilding splicer in the bar. The 9 (maximum you can have) health packs should also tell you something about how difficult I found the game. Now the kicker - what you are watching is the hardest difficulty the game has to offer. Is this why I find games getting more boring?

The final boss on the hardest difficulty possible, I beat him and still had 6 health packs left over. I even forgot to use my grenade launcher that I was saving for the last kill!

The point is, I played BioShock for the story I guess, and if you are an exceptional gamer, you should also look at it for the story over gameplay. Its like reading a book in a way - a gory one that is.

On a sidenote - Reaction time to me in games needs to be made more difficult. Maybe I have played one too many games? As you can see, I also tend to go for headshots (I did specifically a few times when using the wrench) and usually hit what I am aiming for. Its normal for me to think that unless I am acting for the video capture over the game.

Anyway - just my two cents on Bioshock. Now I'm way off topic.

-S

PS. Make me scared of a Big Daddy at least! The respawn chambers screwed that up! Maybe a token number of resawns should be allowed instead of an unlimited number!!!! That would have made it a 10x better game.

PPS. I can't discount the eye candy factor this game has. It really is good to show off a higher end system! It is worth buying for that reason alone!

Played for me just fine. Codec problem for you perhaps. Update those suckers.

[antikristuseke]

Im the one that encoded it :p

My mistake antikristuseke. I thought, misguidedly, that we were still talking about Subman's vid. I tried yours and received the broken link icon.

[antikristuseke]

Oh, well thanks anyway. Aparently it takes even more time for a video to publish from the time that its "published". The first vid i uploaded had the same problem but now works after an hour or so after uploading.

Edit: finaly got the video i ment to post working http://stage6.divx.com/user/Antikristuseke/video/1713126/TOCA-3-Group-B-Rally-Stage-2
