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.
It's ridiculous to suggest that either of the two major parties would make any choices affecting this issue. WAKE UP and vote for a third party, people.
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?!?*
Well I came for video.. where is it and the transcript? On the desktop site only. Poor form/. We have to suffer through all the mobile ads now. Give us all the content.
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...
Just note, more than 6 hours after this has been posted and only 30 (now 31) posts. This didn't score any real points with your readers. Was it because of a lack of transcript? Could be.
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.
Are you high? They don't even bother to fix all those misleading titles & summaries and/or cross-checki the articles they're post on the front page, and you expect them to make a transcript?
Simply because the video is horrible. Horrible quality, horrible presentation (the webcams only use up like half of the surface), and the audio isn't even synchronized with the video (which only requires a 10 second fix in any video editing program).
I have no problems with video, but if you do go that way, please do it correctly. This one is plain horrible.

When did Blizzard become a Dice Holdings company?

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