NeoGAF really needs to adopt WebM/HTML5. It's something I've been pondering recently.

gyfcat.com does a great job of converting gifs to HTML5 videos with no audio.

Look at this GIF:

GIF Version: 4.5 MB
HTML 5 Version: 286 KB

GIFs are resource heavy and outdated.

Goddamn. That cat would be out on the streets in 2 seconds if that was my boy. Fuck that thing.

sry for the editorializing.

Makes so much sense. GIFs suck at compression. Each frame is compressed individually, it uses lossless compression but only supports 256 colours. So images look rubbish and are huge.

We just need a plugin/extension to embed them in GAF like the youtube one.

not really

Wouldn't you get mad if I smacked you over the head just for looking at me? I know it sounds crazy, but cats don't like to get smacked in the face.
 
Need some dark Souls webms stat! We can't call them gifs right?

Is it possible for someone to make an browser extension that embeds webm links like that youtubeme one we have?

So I made my first .webm (Watch_Dogs footage) and it comes to under 3MB.

I am ready. Tell me when GAF is ready for the new world order.
