Venting!

Well the last few hours have definitely counted as the low point of this month, and probably will remain as such for the rest of May.

After dropping the money for a plus account earlier today, I eagerly awaited the seven o'clock eastern stream of the Sony Press Conference..... in HD!

Well along comes 7 pm and all I got was a horrible best buy commercial. And thats all I continued to get for 2 hours, long after the conference started after its 30 minute delay.

So I after already trying the steps in the streaming sticky (even though I have never had a problem streaming before) I created a thread that had 1 admin response extremely early telling me to refresh the page......then nothing for about an hour.

Then another admin chimed in to my almost two page thread full of people with similar problems.

He supplied a link to the streaming sticky!

So I thought "Hey what could it hurt?"

Hmm turns out downloading a codec pack recommended by a bunch of users can make all of the videos unplayable.

Great! So uninstalling the codec package should fix the issue, right?

Nope! Now its almost 4 hours since I soo eagerly awaited the conference and I wont even be able to watch the replay.

Gamespot's tech support needs to get their ass in gear.

UPDATE: Well about 3 pm the site magically fixed and I was able to watch anything......wierd. So I watched through the conferences and so far so good.

UPDATE 2: Will I thought I should post another update, even though it's a little late. On thurday or friday gamespot updated their tech support sticky, and it included a fix for my live streaming issues. So i was able to watch the last 2 days live e3.

My Top Movies

I thought I'd start my blog posts with something non-gaming related, so here is the first entry into Rellington's Top Movies!

Anyone can see my ratings for games from the bar at the top and since their is no moviespot I'll post em here.

Movies play a big part in my free time along with games and music so I will probably do the same with music as well.

Well, without further delay......
