I cannot load any videos on the website. The circle icon which shows the video loading just goes three fourths of the way and then stops. I cleared my cache and updated my adobe software, so I do not know why this loading problem is happening. Firefox is updated too. Please help.

It's probably ad blocking of some kind, but it could also be Flash security settings. See also this discussion.

I looked at the other discussion and looked up that blocked thing that the other guy mentioned that everybody made an exception for. Except for my instance, nothing of the sort was in my blocked list. So in essence I could not allow/make an exception for it.

I have the exact same problem. :/

I'm using Adblock, but I'm not blocking any videos...

It worked for me. Go on the exact page where the video you want to watch is, and then hit Ctrl+Shift+V, and it will show everything that is blocked for that 'specific' page. The reason why you didn't see the code was probably because you weren't on the page the video was on, so the coding wasn't there. But on the video page your on, you will see this code....

Allow it to be shown. Refresh the page and everything should be peachy after. =]

Ah, thanks. :)

Still, it's a bit weird, I've never had this problem until a couple of days ago. Did Gamespot or Adblock update anything recently?
