Ok, I'm not actually gonna finish that sentence at the start of this mini-rant, but I've been spending the past week or so rewatching every episode of Zero Punctuation trying to get the Motor Mouth badge (no, I don't know why I care either)

I'm used to the 15-30 second ads for Project X (which looks dumb) or the new Star Wars MMO, and while they're annoying they're usually harmless.

But what does bother me is sometimes I click Play, have to sit through the ad, and THEN The Escapist Player decides not to work. I get the Forever Loading Story or that weird error message that spreads across the middle of it.

I admit there isn't too much discussion in this thread (which thinking about, I'm pretty sure is against the TOS here) but I've just been thinking about it and it kinda bugs me.

Anyone else?

I never had any problems with videos back in the dark time (before I joined the cult PubClub).

If the videos keep doing it, try clearing out your cache. I found that anytime there was a goofy error, it was a solid first step to do.
