No, sorry. This is new Slashdot, where content is spread across 2 videos for more ad impressions, and to make it easier to interlace ads with normal content.
If you want in depth text with discussion of text news, go back to the 1990s.
PR departments can pay cash monies to help disseminate positive stories to boost the reputation of companies. I can't present evidence that happened, but it's certainly not out of character for slashdot these days.
Terrible quality skype style interview just comes across as extremely lazy and ineffective. Give us a transcript.
Love Blizzard, hate lazy and cheap interviews.
*how the hell do I add line breaks?!?*
Cool, thanks. As to the transcript guy, MeTV has obviously been using computer voice recognition for their captions from the way the captions are mangled. Use the computer for the transcripts and have the transcript guy just edit that, it should be a lot faster and easier. When voice recognition gets better your transcript guy will have to do something else...
Seconded (thirded? Ninethid?). Videos are fine for animations that show how something works, or demonstrating something cool, like that Q8k guy that flew his rocket to the edge of space, but I'm visually oriented, not aurally oriented. I don't want talking heads, I'm literate. Give me the written word or STFU.
You ancien regime reactionaries need to be dragged kicking and screaming into the modern era. You're lucky we don't require you to log in by Facebook to view the content. Don't have a Facebook account, you say? You're suspicious by default.
Yup, browsing at work during my break, but we use a non-noise environment. (headphones not allowed.) Waiting on teh transcript... What's the first thing I see (because I can;t hear it.) is an ad for someone... Waiting on the transcript... On any youtube video, if an ad shows up, I close it. Waiting on the transcript...

Two Blizzard stories on same page.

Both stories are hyping the same book, so the linkage may be to the author rather than to Blizzard.
