Videos in reviews DH and GH

I was just wondering that is it possible to have flash videos on pause when the page is loaded? I mean now they play right on when page is loaded....

Well if you look at the STALKER Analysis article we published today, we have an intro flash video which is meant to be exciting and to get people interested even before they start reading, its only 7 meg and is a nice introduction to the analysis. There are 3 other videos in the review but they dont load until you click the icons.

Sometimes it is intentionally done for presentation purposes. We like to be more "interactive" on DH/GH and try to present reviews/articles in as exciting a way as possible rather than the majority of sites with plain black text on a white background with a few pictures slapped here and there.

I see.. I was already reading it and winamp was playing and I had some other use of my line so it didn't load so fast... When it did I almost got a heart attack

But thanks for clearing this
