We are currently in the process of making our older content available in this new player and everything up to and including the Resident Evil 5 marathon is already available. Your comments on this post will help us decide which marathons/episodes to do next. We do not expect this to be a short process and it may be quite some time before all videos are available in the new player.

In other news, the Crysis marathon has been completed with the release of the combined Part 9 & 10. So please check out the front page and try the new video player for videos going back to RE5. Also take the following poll and leave your comments. For video playback help please email videosupport@hpaw.net for assistance.

UPDATE: I URGE people to try videos other than the Crysis Marathon before answering this poll. The Crysis Marathon has much higher requirements than our other videos.

Now a new video card and quad core cpu later, the problem with recording is not “gone” but now the game remains playable. Turning down the settings was always an option but I don’t think anything but max settings really show off the true beauty and excellent design that Crysis has to offer. To compliment this I am using better encoding settings than normal, including a raised bitrate and a slower, higher quality encoding method.

Standard Quality Version

The marathon features Mempf, Teclis and Kaisuke and runs from the start of the game until the end. Parts will be split up in 40-45min sections due to a potential YouTube HD bug we are working around. As usual parts will be uploaded one by one over the course of the coming weeks.

Standard Quality:

Summer of Crysis is a start to finish marathon featuring the cast of the Kingdom Hearts 2 Marathon. We really wanted to do a true start to finish marathon without any large gaps in between any of the parts, just like the KH2 marathon. We are still waiting on a few things like artwork for the marathon before we can start releasing the actual parts. However we felt a preview was in order to show you guys what to expect over the next couple of weeks.

The marathon was filmed at max settings, 1360×768 resolution (over 720P!) and overall looks beautiful.

Also as many of you have noticed the HPAW server has been very unstable lately. This is because of server migration issues on behalf our server host. It is beyond our control although things should be much better from this point on. So please bare with us as we bare with our host until all migration issues have passed.
