Jeff brought about many innovative changes to GameSpot and hopefully he will do the same wherever he goes. I hope he starts something independent and other GameSpot editors follow.

Its about time we get a new player in the game.

Since the 1.93 update I've had strange audio issues. Some movies and now some games sound like the audio level is too high. It sounds really loud and the quality sounds "scratchy" and "poppy." You'll forgive my non-audiophile terminology.

I had some videos and movie previews that I had downloaded prior to the update that worked fine but now they sound terrible. I tried downloading those same videos again after deleting them but they still sound bad. One of which is the Folklore_StrangersTrailer-HD video. I have noticed though that all the videos using the 128 kbps AAC audio codec are the ones that sound bad.

Blu Planet plays fine. (That's the only Blu-Ray "movie" I own.)

Disc games play fine. Warhawk andHeavenly Sword have been tested.

But tonight I bought Everyday Shooter and it does the same thing.

Anyone heard of anybody else complain about this? I've tested other audio devices and even other televisions. I also tried different cables (just to narrow down the possibilities.)

Did 1.93 kill my audio?

I just got the beta and so far I haven't found out how to change my look aim to inverted. I don't see it in the menus nor does the game give me any settings when I press start during gameplay! Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance .Episode_Eve

There are tabs in the options.  Or you could change the default settings in your profile for all 3D shooters.

Just as I was getting excited by the newly inspired interest in my writings due to the user soapbox feature it is removed and replaced by a private forum for the GameSpot editors.

*Sigh.  Hopefully it will return in some form.

For now, it's back to relative obscurity and lack of any response to my editorials.

Goodbye, and thanks for all the fish.

I've decreased the security settings for testing but it still happens.  Whenever I go into the inbox IE7 keeps asking me to close the tabs.

I also have Opera and it works fine there.  Any ideas?
