How do I download the videos?
- To download, right click the file type you would like and pick “Save target as…” or “Save link as…”
Why should I download videos from Channel9?
- It's an easy way to save the videos you like locally.
- You can save the videos in order to watch them offline.
- If all you want is to hear the audio, you can download the MP3!
Which version should I choose?
- If you want to view the video on your PC, Xbox or Media Center, download the High Quality WMV file (this is the highest quality version we have available).
- If you'd like a lower bitrate version, to reduce the download time or cost, then choose the Medium Quality WMV file.
- If you have a Zune, WP7, iPhone, iPad, or iPod device, choose the low or medium MP4 file.
- If you just want to hear the audio of the video, choose the MP3 file.
Right click “Save as…”
- High Quality WMV (PC, Xbox, MCE)
- MP3 (Audio only)
- MP4 (iPod, Zune HD)
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
- WMV (WMV Video)
Nikola Mihaylov has written a game in Silverlight called Shock. This is not just a "fun project over the weekend" game. There are multiple game modes, music playlists, leaderboards, reflex
tests, source code available and a whitepaper. Yes, Nikola is sharing his code along with a whitepaper entitled
Anatomy of a Silverlight Game. 33 pages of the lessons he's learned while building his successful Shock game.
Enjoy and send him your feedback!

Now I have a way into Silverlight.
Thank you.

my first flash game was a breakout clone.. but not as fully featured as this one, I like the coin/skills element.
Very cool game, thanks for the details on how you implemented it and the code, nice work!
Like it. Anyone know what music that is or artist?
