5 - Cesar Quintero (Area 5, 1UP Show) 6 - Ryan O'Donnell (Area 5, 1UP Show) 25 - Jon McIntosh (Feminist Frequency) There's an alphabetical list at the end of the video (4:48).

I'd be quite surprised if the optical wipes were dropped.

Well that's the first time I'd seen Nick Breckon, and he looked nothing like I pictured him. Same goes for IGN's Mitch Dyer. And damn, Ryan O'Donnell is looking a lot better than he did during the 1UP Show days.

Here's how the film would look if it had gone through the traditional digital intermediary ringer:

As wrong as you could possibly be.

Again, the whole point is to emulate a 35-year-old movie, not reality. I'll take lens flares over hyper-realistic HDR effects any day.

I don't think that's the case. I'm pretty sure Creative Assembly is just trying to emulate the look of Ridley Scott's movie. If you look at my screenshots, there's a lot of grain and chromatic aberration. It's not trying to look real, it's trying to look authentic. Does that make sense?

Some more from ALIEN: Isolation.

This game looks amazing.

ALIEN: Isolation can be had for $20 today on GMG.

Newegg has Samsung's 500GB 840 EVO SSD for $190--with a voucher for Far Cry 4. This is an insanely good deal, y'all.

Brazuca Droid rules, man:

The sound of the spy being garroted by Universal Studios security.

There was another version of the trailer that leaked a day or two early wherein Pratt is talking down one of the raptors, I shit you not. http://www74.zippyshare.com/v/41079300/file.html

A level 32 Yoshi was mopping up my boss and coworkers, it was kind of hilarious.

ALIEN: Isolation is $25 on Humble Store for approximately the next 15 hours.

Apparently the gate in the new trailer is practical, but because of the compositing job and the godawful color-timing it looks flat, lifeless and fake.

I feel like we're all just waiting for an immense disappointment.

Warming up with a Bavarian schwarzbier! After that, it's Call of Duty and Old Overholt whiskey. Gonna be a nice, subdued night.

I mean, it's clearly a second right arm in place of the left one. You can see the subtle, impossible backward bend of what would be her left elbow.

I was over at my boss's house last night for some beer, pizza & Smash Bros. He'd purchased a few of the Amiibo, and I was actually pretty impressed with the paint job on Fox McCloud. I could see picking up a Wind Waker Link if and when they release one.

A Ubisoft game with frame-rate drops? Par for the course, innit?

Rogue's getting a PC release sometime next year. The thing is, regardless of quality, I'm pretty content to not buy any Ubisoft games at all ever again.
