Great post, Evan. I love that you added tons of context, regarding the inevitable backlash and collateral damage (Schafer, etc.). I have a dream, of one day reading a post about one of these videos, and scrolling down to find something other than the boilerplate sexist garbage that always shows up.

If anyone says Floyd Mayweather a lot, it's Floyd "Loves to Refer to Himself in the Third Person" Mayweather.

I can't breathe. Incredible.

I'd be legit into a tweak of Hardline, where the bad guys are all possessed by demons trying to flood the world with sin. I mean, non-sexual, PG-13 sin, or something.

The fact that I haven't seen any of these rape gifs is a credit to whoever's on top of taking them down.

Genuinely love how corny and wire-fu-ish all the aerial stuff looks.

Did this post go viral all of a sudden? Weird amount of comment activity, years after the fact.

In other news, WoW still looks horrible.

I haven't cared about fighting games in years, but these EVO videos are amazing.

Obviously talking about the ZX Spectrum games. Note my use of the plural.

That's ridiculously charming. Plus, it's a reminder of Bay's greatest Transformers-related sin (so far): the giant, steaming shit that he took on Devastator.

Sleuth smarter, not harder.

Amazing. Pac-Man, in particular.

I agree, and I think it's all about his nose, or lack thereof. In that shot, at least, he looks the closest to the noseless ninja turtles we cherish so dearly.

Vox's design always makes me think my aging Macbook has finally, furiously shit the bed.

This is an awesome, awesome piece.

Wait, so all this stuff appears in the movie, in scenes that aren't set in China? I think you have have buried the lede. Interesting stuff, though.

I was with you, sorta, until you started trying to draw comparisons to real robots (the Boston Dynamics model).

Beat me to it.

I kept waiting for the video to be terrible, and it kept being great. Pretty amazing accomplishment.
