Can mobile devices not view it? I keep getting "could not load movie"

It's probably still going through partial processing. We always allow mobiles to view.
The HD is also still processing at the moment, so I'd imagine that's why.

*edit*
It has finished processing, and should now be viewable on mobiles.

Wow many valid points.

Mark my words: Videos like these are ultimately going to be a part of video gaming history. We're experiencing and taking part in an unprecedented level and depth of storytelling.

 Yay!

I hope you're right Hellish! I appreciate the kind words. =D

I don't have a spare hour and a half to watch this right now, but I just wanted to drop by and find out whether you included something.

As we know, indoctrination is based on suggestion, so I figured it would be important to find out in full what the voices in Shepard's dreams are telling him.
http://social.biowar.../index/11939824


At 6:51, you get three clips, from the first, second and third dreams, of the child talking.
I think this is what it's saying:
1st dream: "Help Me!"
2nd dream: "Everyone's Dying!"
3rd dream: "Please Come Home"

Now that last one is curious. Didn't remember it from the dialogue, and this is before Shepard knows that the citadel will be headed back to earth. Shepard is going home almost immediately after the dream child tells him to. That and the reaper noises in the dream are almost certainly worth a look.

Oh, also, there's the textures from the dream plants:

Looks like you've got a good video though, I'll have a watch when I've got a free couple of hours

[IUDEX99]

Nice video.
Maybe something you wanna improve in future videos: Try to speak slower. Just try to "speak out" every comma, period and changing to a new parapraph.

My first impression was: "Does this guy even need to breathe?" ;-)

@TSA
I've tried very hard to distinguish what the voices are saying, but it is simply too hard to decipher. I have, however, included the concept of sound across the dreams, the indoctrination attempt, the citadel, and in the decision chamber. So hopefully that ought to be enough to tide you over. =D
I also touch upon sound in other ways, as well.
Additionally, I did include the dream foliage concept.

@IUDEX
Haha, I was actually trying to speak quickly in order to shorten the length of the video.
The problem is that I was reading off of a script I wrote (obviously, xD), when normally in my videos I just speak freely as the edited video plays, then incorporate that into the final rendering process.
And what is this breathing you speak of?

Check it, all the audio from the dreams without any of the reverb - you can hear every word.

I know that problem. You write a script and the problem is that you know the script and that gives you less of the feeling that you have to explain something to the audience.
I had the problem with the fast talking too. Even when I spoke english which is not my motherlanguage.
Took me quite a while and lot's of VHS-recordings (yeah, I know that I'm an old fart) to get rid of "running the text faster than Carl Lewis".
And "breathing"....Good question. It's something I emulate when I hold a speech ;-)

@TSA
That's a very interesting find. The fact that they are all your friends and acquaintances whispering only adds to the surrealism. I'd say it helps the theory because it basically is showing how the Reapers are manipulating Shepard's mind to remember the past. Or maybe he's remembering their voices on his own; but the fact that they sound so drowned and washed out shows that something is influencing those memories and skewing them to sound dark.

@IUDEX
Very impressive. Mastering a new language is certainly not easy. I've tried Chinese; it's fun. But I'd never have the time to master it as you have English.

The bigger thing for me is the child speaking to you.
Particularly the third line for the reasons I posted above. Could be a very major lead and so far nobody's covered it.

[Baa Baa]

Great work. It sounds very thorough an unbiased

Well, thanks for the catch.
As I said, I'm quite an old far for a gamer. I had enough time to improve my english.
My first english-lesson was about 35 years ago...
So take your time....
