Support NeoGAF

[Phobophile]

Well the latest version of flash supports HD, and I know dailymotion has already implemented this... we'll see how it stacks up to what stage6 offered I guess

Yeah but Flash's encoding sucks balls. Instead of low-res shit artifacts, I can get artifacting that takes up 75% of my screen. GREAT.

 

[v1cious]

this really fucking sucks. i never finished watching Hunter X Hunter.

This sucks but there really wasn't anything good left on there once they cracked down on the tv shows/movies.

 

[blindrocket]

This sucks! Stage6 was the easiest way to get good looking video content onto my PS3 right from its browser.

:*(

 

[Shorty]

Fuck YOU Interwebs.

Set up a download manager to queue them all

never heard of joox?

 

[so1337]

Damn it, I watched all episodes of Tengen Toppa up to 25 (26 and 27 still to follow) on that site and enjoyed the heck out of it.

 

[Neo C.]

are there any good alternatives?
Stage6 was one of the best online experience I ever have. It's a sad day.

 

[my name is ed]

shit
now im off to download all the videos I can unto my PS3.

 

[mollipen]

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! GOD DAMMIT!!!!

The site was great for grabbing J-dramas and PVs instead of going the torrent route, or other videos that hit the net but in much better quality. (Commercials, etc.) I guess I'm going to have to go and download a crapload of stuff before it goes away.

 

[thesoapster]

Sigh.

Oh well. It was good while it lasted.

 

[Costanza]

never heard of joox?

That's what I mean.. joox ended up with just a bunch of REALLY old movies and shows lately.

I put all these vids up on stage6 so that I could still watch them without having them take up space on my HD. Now I'm gonna have to download them all over again before the site goes down. This is a very sad day in internet history.

 

[CajoleJuice]

This blows so much.

 

[polyh3dron]

O FUCK

 

[fallengorn]

Well, this sucks.

 

[BobLoblaw]

This sucks. How the hell am I supposed to download 100 GB worth of stuff by Thursday. :_(

 

[BobFromPikeCreek]

Agh, damnit. This is awful.

 

[v1cious]

so how hard would it be to make a knockoff? i mean it's just an installer, right?

 

[Phoenix]

That's too bad. I'm a huge supporter of Stage6 and Divx. But really that writing has been on the wall for a long time since they have not had any success in getting studios to support Divx, which kinda makes having that portal around just a huge waste of investor money.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Ah come on, man!

I had just read the Phil thing right before this!

 

[Phobophile]

This was probably the only online video site where I actually uploaded material.

 

[ghst]

Well, that kills a good 1000 words of my dissertation.

I feel for the people who have busted their asses uploading entire channels to this site.

 

[npm0925]

This was probably my favorite site on the web.

 

[hcl404]

Looks like time to go in a downloading spree especially for some of the rarer stuff out there.

 

[CajoleJuice]

This was probably the only online video site where I actually uploaded material.

Yep. This just ruined my week. Now where will I upload entire Muse concerts in non-shit quality?

 

[Stoney Mason]

America hates freedom!

 

[Kastro]

ive never even heard of this site.. lol

But it sounds like Oink all over again.

 

[Xrenity]

Stage6 was basically youtube with HD video.

 

[mollipen]

I feel for the people who have busted their asses uploading entire channels to this site.

That's the worse lost here, I think. There are people on Stage6 that put in an insane amount of time really putting together awesome channels full of videos. I remember one guy I came across that had video after video of old promotional materials for things like LD, CED, and other niche video formats. Really interesting stuff.

Stage6 was basically youtube with HD video.

HD? No. Video quality and resolution far better than the shit 320x240 you get on YouTube? Yes.

 

[Kastro]

Stage6 was basically youtube with HD video.

damn I missed the boat.

 

[Kibbles]

Damn, that sucks. I loved watching HQ and HD videos there Boo to whoever decided this!

 

[Xrenity]

HD? No. Video quality and resolution far better than the shit 320x240 you get on YouTube? Yes.

Check that one out

You're right though.

 

[Shockgamer]

The internet giveth, the internet taketh away.

 

[Jamesfrom818]

That's what I mean.. joox ended up with just a bunch of REALLY old movies and shows lately.

You usually had to catch the good stuff when its first uploaded. Anchorman was there one morning and by the time I got home from work, it was gone.

 

[Xirj]

My Audiosurf Vid
Orbital's Doctor ? is the music, Audiosurf is the game. Had to erase the existing audio track because my sound card adds too much noise to the recordings so the sound in the vid is direct from the MP3.

Goddamn that track is awesome and it looks so fun in that game.

 

[Fatalah]

The stage6 player will always be out there as long as sites host the installation file. When I first found stage6 last year, it was almost too good to be true. I couldn't believe my eyes--DVD quality streaming videos. Unbelievable.

At least we have the technology now, the community will keep it alive.

 

[bluemax]

I for one am not shocked or saddened by this news. I think I actually viewed content on Stage6 maybe 3 times, and only when directly linked. Sure the quality was better but it was impossible to actually find shit.

Life isn't fair?

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Set up a download manager to queue them all

Download managers seem to have some trouble with downloading multiple files from Stage6.

 

[rallaren]

OH SHIT NO! Stage6 was so awesome

 

[YYZ]

well there goes my FAQ that I worked weeks on, fucking idiots at Stage6. I uploaded my videos 10 fucking days ago and now they'll be gone, wtf Stage6, fuck yourself. Incompetence.

 

[ManaByte]

I used to work right next door to Divx and there is more to this than the letter mentions. You really think a site hosting all those TV shows would stay around so long?

 

[polyh3dron]

Gotta make sure I download the rest of Gurren Lagann before they close up.
