    oh my god

    You should see what it does for films.

    That's a debated subject though. Personally I think that films in HD look weird compared to how they used to.

    Or what I more mean to say is: It depends.

    I haven't found them to be weird. And when you get a beautiful print of a film and show it in HD it can be gorgeous.

    Nah, she just likes being first to do something.

    And she beat my brother, who I am aware is both conscious and in the same house as me, while she is 35 miles to the west of me.

    Also she has school in the morning, so she was pretty determined.

    I realised my mistake but I had already posted that.

    My opinion:

    90% of all tv-shows I can think of look much worse in HD. Possibly because the lower budget, relatively, affects the quality in some way. The camera doesn't pan smoothly and the scenes are filled with unnecessary detail, the make up fails because of the resolution. I can barely stand to, at all, watch tv shows in HD.

    Some films suffer from this.

    So I just read that the Dead Space artists/modellers used car crash pictures as reference material.

    When I read that the L4D guys had folders full of pics of horrific diseases, I thought that was just a weird once off.

    But this makes me wonder if this is a common thing in the industry? Or do they just want to browse 4chan at work. Doesn't seem like it would be the most psychologically healthy thing.

    Many people find assault and battery very very offensive.

    However, we're a culture dedicated to global warfare.

    The L4D people wised up, however. The diseases were so harrowing, they instead resorted to modelling zombie flesh from cardboard.

    most big tv shows these days originate in HD and look good in it

    SD to HD is a tad more iffy tho

    probably because there are not really any controversial elements of assault and battery

    there was some dude, now permabanned, that complained a lot about games not being realistically violent enough to suit his tastes. Castle or something I think it was.
