Videos take forever to load and are therefore useless.

Gamespot videos never load in a timely fashion. Occasionally, if I set the video to the lowest setting, will it take only marginally longer to load the video than to actually play it (it still doesn't actually stream properly). If I leave it on high quality (not HD), it takes about 10 seconds to buffer 4 seconds of video. (Edit: That was an optimistic estimate. I just allowed a video to buffer during the three minutes it took to write this post and I had about 10 seconds of video to show for it.)

I know it's not my internet connection because I'm not an idiot and I routinely get 10 MBps (that's bytes, not bits) downloads, and I rarely have problems with other sites that have videos. Given that half of Gamespot's site is now video, half of the website is essentially broken.

Sorry to hear that you're having issues with loading video. Do you by chance have adblock on? That will often cause issues with the video player.
