I totally figured out how to embed video in my LJ posts, thanks to archmage

Enjoy the Portal trailer.

Isn't it? It's coming bundled with HL2:Ep2 and Team Fortress 2. Supposed to come out by year's end.

What, besides the fact that it's Half-Life? Are you an unbeliever? :D

YouTube vids are FLVs. right? Will this link methos work with any FLV or video link in general?

karzon July 20 2006, 18:28:19 UTC

Urk. A TLA I do not know. Is FLV Flash Video? Unfortunately, I couldn't find any technical reason for why the span with ljvideo class works. The FAQ says "you cannot embed video in LJ posts".

Sorry, dunno! I did look, though only through Google.

I actually watched the high bandwidth one PA linked earlier today.

OMFG! I don't think I've been excited about a PC game in years, much less this excited.

Portal and the Wii are just about the most exciting things ever! It's a pretty damned good time for gaming.

If at first you don't succeed..... you fail.

Portal seems to have broken the long streak of games that don't really interest me. This game looks fantastic!

I really enjoyed a lot of the physics puzzles that were in Half-Life 2. It's done by the same people who made Narbacular Drop. It's a free game. That site's gotten hammered since the Portal trailer came out, but there's a link to it on Fileplanet.
