Is the Wii U overscan that bad?
And what kind of modern TV doesnt just have a simple overscan setting in the menu?
Samsung and LG and Sonys have it. Havent a clue about sharp though.

Cropping of the picture at the edges by as much as 15%
Tech wise or it's more or less a relic of the CRT / analog broadcast era, but they keep it a default option on modern TVs just to piss us off.
I sincerely hope that godofrawr dude was trolling.

Finally somebody called Jeff out on his Anti-Nintendo bias. Its clear from the fact that Jeff cause the crack and not the Wii U.
This man is a hero.

I just wish Jeff and the other staffers would just own up to their searing hatred of Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, and every past, present, and future hardware system company. It's about time the charade was dropped. Like Jeff's tv.
Too soon. RIP Tv.

The dumb thing about the Wii U overscan stuff is each Wii U app has a separate overscan option and some games don't have an option for it at all.
Wow, that prat doubled down:

Next to tweets you select All. It defaults to No replies because seeing a lot of contextual-less tweets would actually be dumber.

His story was a ruse. He was trying to go into the TV.
He wanted to pre-experience the Oculus Rift by entering the game world.

Is Jeff in the first batch of people getting oculus dev kits? Hopefully some good content soon to look forward to if he is
Feel the same way. I skipped over his self-love session after he kept turning every topic into how great he was.

Little late here, but were there no GDC podcasts? Just livestreams?

Don't be silly, it's clearly Nintendo that's at fault here. By delivering a bad product they set in motion a series of events that led to Jeff's television set untimely demise.
xXx will only get better with more time, the finest wine of all cinema.
I'm eagerly looking forward to all those videos of Jeff playing games but we can't see what is going on in the game and instead just see him shaking his head around.

Alex worked for Harmonix, right? I guess that access would create a lot more articles of this depth if more journos had it.
