GFW Radio is a weekly free-for-all with the editors for Games for Windows Magazine. Every week they talk about what they've been playing recently, what's going on in the games industry, or in the case of this week's podcast the super-flu that has been kicking both Jeff Green and Brad's butts the last week or two. Together, the two of them spend the podcast working on creating the virus that will wipe ou

This is just a quick note to let everyone know we've extended the deadline for the Sins Gameplay Video Contest to this Thursday, March 6th. So if you had a video you weren't able to finish in time, you have an extra day and a half now to wrap it up and get it posted. Good luck!
Just like we promised, the thread icons indicating threads with new comments, or hot topics etc. are back in action! The catch? Every thread on the forum right now is showing as "New" to you. Even threads you've read recently. This is because we reenabled the feature and you have no cookie tracking the information yet.

[quote]Hmm. Is there any possibility of getting a tiny bit of leniency on the rule about being under 2 minutes?If fx. the video was all planned out with the audio, but the darn thing ends up running a 2 min and 5 seconds.

[quote]er... This sounds cool and all, but last I checked you needed a copy of the game in order to make any sort of video... What good is a copy of Sins if you already have the game?[/quote] As others have said, you're getting a collectors item, a copy of the game signed by the entire team. Additionally, if someone doesn't own the game and they're making gameplay videos, it means they pirated it, and that is in no way acceptable.
[quote]In regards to the videos. Does it matter whether or not watermarks are imprinted in the videos? Sure I can pay for Fraps, but I feel I don't need the full program to capture what I need for my videos.[/quote] If it comes down to two videos of roughly equal quality, and one has a watermark whereas another one doesn't, the one without will win. Watermark degrades the presentation quality of the video.
