So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

What is instant pausing? One feature I wish VLC had was "pausing when minimized" and I wasn't sure if that's what this is.

If you've used VLC previously, you might have noticed that it will still play for a second when pausing and the audio will skip a few times. This release is supposed to eliminate that problem.

You do realize Firefox is open source, right?

Yes, I do.

I prefer Media Player Classic and cccp for my codecs. Does this new release have anything that would make me consider switching?

KMPlayer owns VLC. I used VLC for years but once I tried KMPlayer I never used it again. Much better compatibility/customization than VLC. (The number of options in advanced mode is insane) I've seen plenty of stuff VLC could not play that KMPlayer could. I'm pretty sure I read it can be made into a portable app as well but I haven't tried it myself. It has internal codecs just like VLC but can be configured to use external codecs as well. Someone mentioned CCCP which probably really means you want to use FFDShow and you can :D
My only complaint is for some reason the volume normalizer is on by default, and I hate volume normalizers, so I had to go turn it off. Obviously I'm nit picking here. Seriously, go try it out, its free anyway.

BUG!!!
My VLC is .9.9.0 Grishenko, but, when I check for updates, it says "you have the latest version"
I want 1.0.0! Help!
I know I can download and install but please let me live with the misery.

Finally. Now they should campaign it like Firefox did.

Kind of plain looking. The greyed out buttons look like they're disabled.
Player and playlist don't dock so you have to drag one at a time.
When opening a folder all file types are added to the playlist not just media.
When it hits some non-media files in the playlist it pops up a huge error message window instead of simply bypassing it..
File information doesn't indicate what tag version you're looking at.
The 'location' in the 'file information window interprets spaces as '%20'
The 'minimal view' option seems completely useless since the resulting window is no smaller but simply goes blank and shows the orange cone logo
When dragging the indicator across the window the 'time' window jumps between the time and "BUFF:100%" This would be okay (I guess) except the window constantly resizes itself causing an annoying 'jumping' of that window and the one next to it. (Just try it to see what I mean)
I guess that's enough for a 2 minute look at the software. Good start but this is not a 1.0 version.

... shouldn't it be "all grown up"?
I wonder if it will support skins? I liked the original look.
