Yes, Stage6 does require you to install an DivX ActiveX control, but then YouTube and Revver require you to have FlashPlayer installed. IMHO, it's worth it for the quality of video that you get.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yeah, but everyone who doesn't live under a rock has Flash already.
I'm starting to think this is all a trick to start speculating on what it could be in that picture... after a day of refreshing the page at small intervals I'm starting to believe that something is dodgey!

This videocast isn't going to take another half of a year, is it? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

Yeah, I thought the same thing, because one of those glowy things seems to fly straight out of it. There is definately some reflection though.

The glowies look and sound pretty awesome. Very organic and I imagine they'd add a lot to the atmosphere. I'm not sure how alien spawning would work in a way that would prevent spawncamping being fifty times worse though. The marines would merely have to mop up any egg laying around to prevent any aliens spawning. Obviously killing an uninhabited egg wouldn't yield any points, but having a number of fixed, visible locations from which an alien could spawn would be a lot easier than having to deal with aliens popping out of invisible spawn points to chew on their goolies, as in NS1.
