I'm part of the beta and I've rendered 2 videos yet when I click on the links in the update that would let me see all the videos, I get this error message: "Rendered video search is only available to eligible beta users."

What's the deal?


The update has a link to the thread you should use to report bugs.


That happened to me but i kept trying and it eventually worked.

Wow sweet update. You do such a good job keeping the update flowing and sounding interesting. Kudos.

Render to Video kicks ass, and I can't wait until the weekend!

Oh...and please, for the next update, say:

GO RED WINGS!!!

This was in the Weekly Update:
We've already booked a private party for him at the Chuck E. Cheese's, so whether he wins or loses, we'll still be getting down to some rockin' tunes provided by the animatronic Chuck E. Cheese Band, gorging ourselves senseless on some delicious pizza pies, and rolling around like lunatics in the ball pit. No, not that kind of ball pit. What in the world is wrong with you?


If you read it towards the end, it's halirious.

Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

Hey thanks Urk!

Cool stuff - as usual.

Again, with the trademarks?

  • 05.15.2009 6:51 PM PDT

New Marathon? Thanks Bungie!


whats with the trademark at the end? is this a typo or some kind of really vague clue for something? OMG NEW BUNGEE GAEM

My only thing with it on my mac is that I've been too lazy to download a converter to play WMVs. Google "WMV converter for mac" and you'll probably get a result that helps you. And if you install Microsoft Silverlight here (which should appear anytime a user w/o Silverlight tries to stream RTVideos), you should be able to stream videos fine considering that is seems to be Silverlight 2.0, which according to this compatibility chart from Wikipedia should work with Intel Macs.

i can tell you from experience that Energon isn't cheap, especially in this economy except if you know where to look :)

Oh, and say hi to your Mom.

Does anyone know what the Audi 5000 reference was about? I can't see what a car that decides to drive itself through the back of your garage has anything to do with H3.

I love how you trademarked "More to come soon" at the end there urk.
Genius.
Pure genius.

I just posted this in another thread without even thinking to go to this one, my bad.


I wish they'd at least show the shots that won. I understand if they disclosed the gamertags of the winners, they'd probably get harassed, but I'd like to at least see what I lost to. I was relatively confident in my shots this time around and I'm more than a little angry that I have no idea what they considered better than mine.

I'm perfectly willing to accept that I've lost, and if I do see the shots that won, I'm sure they'll be better than mine, and I won't argue that.

But I'd like to at least see for myself what it was that they considered superior to my shots.


I guess I'd just like to know, why can't we see the winning shots?


EDIT: Also, you guys are the best for starting up this render-to-video service. I <3 you, Bungie (most of the time).

I honestly dont see how people can say "Cool update". Sure, it might have some marginally interesting things if you are into that new video player stuff, but it has nothing that constitutes as "cool".


Thanks for reading anyway!

Oh noes, I feel all shutted out nao.

Broken game is still broken. No beneficial updates via site or to be seen in-game. Developer care is not truly being expressed but with a vale of lies. Only visible teasing and ridicule. What a great way to treat the gaming community. For being a company that has a motto of "Love Bungie" there is no love and only constant need for distrust, abuse, and ignorance. If that is what Bungie sees as love then why hasn't the community broken up yet.

Some just don't appreciate the effort you make to write these updates Urk. I can see you do your best to put an interesting spin that appeals to everyone in each update.

Just letting you know this doesn't go unnoticed by the average Bungie.net user.

Nice to see render-to-video is coming along. I was wondering ever since it was first mentioned what had happened so thanks for the news.

My Best Bungie moment: finally beating all the Halo games on solo legendary.
My Worst Bungie moment: not seeing giant stuffie grunts in the Bungie store.

Great update.
Lots of answered questions and humour.

Must you really come to Bungie Forums to complain about Bungie?

  • 05.15.2009 9:05 PM PDT

Yup. Who better to complain about Bungie than on Bungie.net itself.
