How do I skip ahead with the streaming video player? It won't let me skip to like the middle of a video, only to the lighter grey part that is buffered.

Yeah, as you've discovered, it's not possible to skip ahead to a section of the video which hasn't loaded yet.

hmmm, that doesn't seem like streaming at all. Maybe I'm just used to youtube and giantbomb . . . and every other streaming player where you can skip around to wherever at it loads from that position.

The player defaults to Progressive Download, not streaming. If you would like to use streaming, you can set the player to "auto" in the resolution selector box in the lower right hand side of the player. Currently, we are working with out CDN to have the player serve "Pseudo Streaming", similar to YouTube, but this change will not be implemented until after E3 this year. Expect to see the upgraded change in a month or so.
