The Spoony Experiment

Video Outages

by Scarlett on October 24, 2009 · View Comments

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to quickly post and let you know that we’re aware of the problems with viewing TSE’s videos. This is an issue with Blip.tv (the site where the video files are hosted), and all we know is that it’s related to a connectivity outage. I’ve been getting a lot of messages asking if people need to update video drivers and Flash, but it’s definitely on Blip’s end and will hopefully be resolved very soon. This would be a great time to sign up for TSE’s Forum, check out the written movie reviews, or have a look at the other site features you may have missed.

Thanks for your patience!

- Scarlett

    Thanks for the update, Scarlett. We're still not worthy.

    Funny to see TSE is far better at updating its fans than Valve.
  • I was just thinking it was an issue with the new videos as they came out. Too many of us "rabid fans" trying to watch it at once, causing the servers to time out. I've had no problems with watching the older videos direct from blip tv's site. Just the newest ones usually. But I haven't been watching so much lately. Sorry Noah, I'm a bad friend for watching SVU instead of your swag =P.

    Problem continues to be on-going, and it's defenitely Blip.tv that's at fault. Blip itself was down when I went to check, so hopefully they'll have this mess sorted out post-haste. Because lord knows how many sites I visit that use Blip...

    And while we're at it, somebody mind lettin' Spoony know his last YouTube upload seems to be cutting off mid-video?

    jet another problem with blip.tv...thanks for the heads-up
  • Specterm91
    Well, in the mean time, I read the short story I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream is based on... Jesus H. Fucking Jackson, that was pretty screwed up. I doubt I'll ever play the game if it's that damn creepy and weird. Wonder why no one's tried to adapt that into a movie yet. >_>

    I noticed that things went to crap when youtube and blip semi merged. Is there a connection. Mostlikley no i hope blip gets back and running mabey it has H1N1 The computer version. lol

    It's deja vu all over again!

    It's just as well. There are other things I should be doing anyway... but I like distractions like this place!
  • Bite me big time Blip.tv !!!!
    AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
  • Crapsticks. I was hoping this was in reference to the fact that I've had trouble viewing TSE videos for months now, but reading that it's just a thing for today. Poop. Anyone have any advice? Ever since The Ripper reviews went up, I haven't been able to watch these without massive skipping and freezing. What am I doing wrong?

    Contrary to the previous posting; Thanks for the heads-up Scarlett!
  • sethnuva
    you know what the fucked up thing is... blit.tv's site works fine
    i can watch all the spoony episodes there still.
  • Pinkemon
    This whole thing is pretty strange.

    I can't watch any vids on here and TGWTG(They won't load), but I've seen comments of people who COULD watch the vids.
  • Dudey
    =S It doesn't make my Firefox crash *feels bad*
  • Uh, Scarlett, you've got bigger problems.
    Visiting ANY page on the site causes an instant crash in Firefox. Sure enough, when I come in here with Chrome, Shockwave Flash crashes instantly. That's the sidebar and the Twitter feed gone.

    But yeah, excellent work keeping us in the loop. Keep up the good work.
  • mambodog
    bloody blip tv... its always something with them
  • Admiral Awesome
    I haven't had any problems with the videos, I guess I'm one of the fortunate ones.
  • ajh
    huh that's weird,i don't have any trouble watching the videos.
  • Ponzi
    Never had any problems, it appears that Seattle is very Blip-friendly!
  • Stef
    So, while we're waiting for this to be fixed, you want to take me out on a date? x
  • Ive had ZERO problems... honsetly ive NEVER had ANY problems with BLIP.... NEVER
  • thehivemind33
    Who knows? It could have been related to Spoony being trapped in the Blagole. 0_0
  • Poipoi
    This is what happens when Spoony gets trapped in Voids, the whole universe goes to hell! lol
  • HeirofSparda
    I just had my computer recover from some major trojans, I was afraid there was still something wrong with my computer. You've put my mind at ease Spoony.
  • THIS IS A CONSPIRACY TO GET MORE PEOPLE TO SIGN UP ON THE FORUMS! :O
  • TGSaK
    i am still able to watch the videos, but only if i visit the site via a proxy-server (like http://anonymouse.org/anonwww_de.html )

    quite strange if u ask me o.O
  • CrimsonDusk
    Had the issue since Saturday and today is still persisting. I checked on my laptop and my PC and it's the same problem, hope it's not country centered something like blip.TV is not available in some countries( hope thath's not the case) and be soon fixed because it's annoying to see updates and can't see the videos while hearing other people that they actually saw the videos while I still can't load a single video.
  • You Know this whole time I have not had problems with blip.tv...I think it's because I am using Opera...I think that Opera and blip.tv where coded the same way...if that makes sense...
  • Dave
    Looks like they're back up.
