Urgh, I can't really watch the City of Commercials videos, they come out all choppy and such when I try to playt them.

Well, I can't speak for anyone else's, but mine is available on YouTube. If you go to YouTube.com and search for Samuraiko Productions, all of my videos come up - the commercial that took 2nd place is called "Countdown to the Future."

August 31, 2012. A Day that will Live in Infamy. Or Information. Possibly Influence. Well, Inf, anyway. Thank you, Paragon Studios, for what you did, and the enjoyment and camaraderie you brought.
This is houtex, aka Mike, signing off the forums. G'night all. - 10/26/2012
Well... perhaps I was premature about that whole 'signing off' thing... - 11-9-2012

Correction Notice:
It has come to my attention that the Most whimsical hero winner "Sparkacho" should, in fact, be "Sparkachu".

We apologize for getting the name wrong.

I don't mean to sound negative, but when's the last time Lady_Athyna or LiquidX actually appeared in the City Scoop?

About the same time someone sent us some actual questions.

And in my defense, I've been busy waiting for Human: Royalty to send me my millions.

Nice Scoop!
It was fun being a part of it this week, thanks for having me and my bro.
His character's name is actually Rhealm, not Rhealm EO. (That's his global) But it's all good.

Neuronia, I missed your PvP wisdom this week. Guess I can wait for another Friday.

Requests have appeared in nearly every scoop discussion thread, but there seems to be no interest from the readers to actually submit any questions. We have been asking for reader participation, without which the articles dry up.

Athy has continued to do Horoscopes (the last was a few weeks ago before the program she was using started to have problems). LiquidX's last was a couple of months, but like I said, he needs people to ask the questions before he can answer them.

One of the staff position requests I see a lot in PMs is to do an advice column. We have two already gathering dust, I don't want to add 3-4 more. If people want to read advice columns, people should start submitting questions to Liquid and Athyna.

Uh can't see all the commercial videos cause the Woot studies site seems not to be able to play them correctly or even load the pages sometimes. From what I have seen though Dark Respite was robbed by an inventive but silly Rickroll. What was PERC thinking? It is good to be remined though that there is somone even more evil and creepy than Lord Recluse.

---

Try letting the page load somewhat. Stop the feed and then try to play it.

Shadowy Presence - Absolutely, positively worse than playing a Kheldian... --Myrmydon

For those having problems with the videos:

Took me a few tries to figure this out - if you don't already have Mozilla Firefox as a browser, download it for free and install it. Then go to each commercial's page on the w00tstudios.net site, wait about fifteen seconds, then right-click on where it should be and select PLAY.

Works virtually every time (and it allows for enough download/buffer time for the whole thing to play without lag, depending on your internet connection speed).

A couple of people uploaded videos that require plugins (doesn't matter if you're using IE or FF or whatever), but this method should play the vast majority of them without problem.
