I need your guys help to test a new download service on HPAW via bittorrent.
Please help by downloading the Kingdom Hearts 2 Marathon with your favorite bittorrent client and reporting either here as a comment or on the HPAW forums saying how it went.

I stumbled upon something at Gizmodo today and it simply blew me away: a slow motion lightning strike.
If you watch carefully you will see that it searches for the best path to the ground and then starting from the ground creates a massive arch. It’s simply one of the most amazing things I have ever seen.
Well if you point your broswers over to http://beta.gamespot.com you will find the new Gamespot redesign.
First noticeable different will be that it is wider (takes more horizontal space on the screen). This is great for most people who have higher resolutions. I’m looking at it with 1280×1024 and it works very well. The layout of most pages take advantage of this extra space and eveything seems more organized.
Videos are now higher resolution even for non-subcribers although only subcribers get the 720p videos. Videos are now embedeed in the game pages because of the wider format.
I’m still going through it myself but take a look for yourselves.
Gamespot seems to be finally improving but now there is new competition from The Giant Bomb.
I have found temporary fix, split the video in two. Although I have the ability to upload an unlimited length it seems YouTube won’t accept over an hour anymore.
UPDATE: Well now it’s the end of the day and the problem remains unresolved. I am running tests to see just what the problem is but in the mean time just download and watch the H.264 version, it’s much better anyway.
Time after time I encounter problems with video hosts (Gamespot, Google Video and Youtube). This appears to be one of these times.
The Mario Kart Wii HPAW episode has been stuck in processing for hours now and I’m beginning to wonder if this is some bug or just a long wait.
Well it’s about 5:00 in the morning and I have just posted the new HPAW episode and and about to go to bed.
This is how long an HPAW episode takes to get online. We filmed at 8:00pm which is shown in the episode at the Wii menu.
Hope you guys enjoy it.
Well let’s test this new blog out.
We filmed an HPAW episode today on Mario Kart Wii, a game I have been wanting to do for a long time but I never got around to even playing the game until today.
But I went to EB Games and bought it with the last of my EB Edge card (it’s Wii themed!).
Currently I am editing the episode so expect it hopefully in the next few hours.
Congratulations you found my newest secret project, a personal blog about whatever I feel like.
Hopefully it will have that early HPAW site feel.
More coming when this is officially announced.
