Does the Sunset Overdrive quicklook look really bad for anyone else? The game is 900P but it's more compression artifacts and jagglies everywhere, even in download HD.

GB SF Need to steal GBeast recording equipment.
Also what the hell is under the Wii U logo in my avatar daydreaming? Is it a camera or an eye ball?
It's kinda amazing that Battle Fantasia was GB's third ever Quick Look.
I remember watching the Skate 1 or 2 quick look which was just Jeff playing it by himself for 20 minutes and thinking this site was no good
is jeff the shadow anime editor?
It's completely rational if you value time more over price. It depends if you are going to play it now before price drop bundles.

Did they cancel the bombcast to play Destiny?
It has the "let's laugh at these people" problem many Michael Bay movies have, especially since it's based on a true story, but I don't really see how it's very offensive.
But yeah, I do not like that movie at all. A surprising amount of people I know who has good taste in movies like that movie though, don't know what that's about.
That in and of itself is pretty offensive. It's based on a true story using real names of real people and retold it as a dark comedy, which is just weird. Couple of lads on Death Row for doing all sorts of horrifying stuff, let's rework that into a bumbling comedy caper.
That could still work (as most ideas could in the right hands) but it's really soulless on top of that. Not one of the characters comes across like a good person in the slightest. Rock's character comes closest and then he just ends up a scumbag like the rest of them. Plus it's filled with all of the usual problematic Michael Bay women/gay people/foreign people laughs which don't help.
I was curious about the film because I remember it coming out in America and it got rather good reviews from some places, Michael Bay's best in a long time and all that. I think it came out in the UK a few months after and every critic I read/listened to tore it to shreds. Mark Kermode loved it, absolutely.
Now Four Lions, there's a dark comedy.

It was supposedly just a vague idea around it ( http://www.wired.com/2011/08/30-minutes-or-less-collar-bom/ ) with differing amounts of we didn't know. I remember lots of press around the time about the family and stuff not liking it.
Pain and Gain was directly based on it with real names and shit. Plus it was a bigger deal in advertising, budget, visibility, stars and director. Who even remembers 30 minutes or less?
I really never got the offensive nature of that movie for the simple fact that it was based on real life. At the end of the day, its a movie and shit happens in movies.
The real life version may suck, but I am sorry, when I am watching a movie, I could care less about the true occurrence and will enjoy it on its true merit.
That said, I did not enjoy the movie.

My premium ran outNow I feel like a hobo. What are the chances of another Turkey sale?
They did a Thanksgiving sale in 2012, but not last year. So...who knows?
go to sleep.
Only thing I missed is that new Demo Derby so unless they'll do Metal Gear Scanlon, I'll try to hold out as long as I can.

I thought the exact same thing. I usually wouldn't notice it at all but after playing Bayonetta for two days straight and then watching that video I was like....wait...
