Edit: video/audio froze for me just as the short was starting. gently caress this.

The video is oddly jerky. Kinda annoying they don't have the bandwidth to support it.

I thought the reason they waited so long to do a new live one was because of what happened last time :(

I have a feeling that because people are getting shut out of the main site and the video is so poor, we'll be getting another live movie in recompense.

Having said that, my fears over these kinds of connection problems lead me not to buy this special. It's drat annoying to see it not working right as I'd've jumped at it if the connection was playing fine.

Ah well.

I don't really understand why they tried (apparently multiple times) without having the bandwidth in place to support it.

Current thinking in the irc channel is that it'll be better once the free users jump off.

This doesn't really make sense though as ustream is p2p so the more users the better, surely?

Well I'm desperately trying to loving pay for it but their goddam website is dead and from what I can tell they're actually feeding video from a logitech camera housed in Bill Corbitt's pants.
