@GameboyTroy: Gotcha. We'll take a look.

@austint30: I see it. We're on it. Thanks for the report!

@GameboyTroy: Are you receiving emails from that thread? Or just trying to get it out of your list of Follows?

@neatfeatguy:

Unfortunately this sort of thing is not easy to "fix" as it's actually a bug in the ad-blocker. We show this message when an extension blocks your access to our video files (not just ads), and there really isn't much we can do about it because it's an issue with how the ad-blocking was written particularly for our site. Ad blockers will likely take more care to block correctly on Youtube because it's a more high-profile site.

If you're using Ghostery or any other extensions that restrict your browser, try disabling those first.

@jakko01: That message appears when you're unable to get to our video server (typically in cases of ad-blocking.) Try this - at a Windows command prompt, type:

tracert v2.gamespot.com

and send the results to me at support@gamespot.com and then we'll try to figure out what's going on.

Thanks!

@suicidesn0wman: Okay, yeah, that sounded pretty random. Glad you figured it out.

@jakko01: Are you seeing that error on all of our videos, or just that one?

@suicidesn0wman: That is indeed mysterious. Any chance you could send a screenshot of what the page looks like when you first load it? And what you see the inspector would be useful, too. Feel free to send to us at support@gamespot.com (and mention this thread) so you don't have to go through all that trouble posting.

@suicidesn0wman: I verified that comment upvoting can throw errors - we're on it.

@straightcur: We think we know what's causing this, but it seems to be specific to some combination of your OS/browser, so it's tricky to test. We're looking at solutions now.
