Yeah, it got privatized on Vimeo right before I posted the story, so I uploaded it through our video server. Which is also apparently broken right now. So, you know, fun day at work today.

Not sure why the video isn't playing. We're working on it, sorry!

The bear in Tekken is pretty funny, too.

I'm not getting a 55-gallon tub of lube! I don't know how this rumor got start—hold on, the UPS guy is here, and he doesn't look too happy, and he does look too shiny.

Wow!!

I think that the commercials are remarkably prescient in retrospect. Most of the predictions of the future are correct, and most of them are presented in forms that are recognizable today. There's really only one mistaken assumption that contributes to the off-target moments, and that's the assumption that information…

You're right. Sorry about that—this has been fixed. Thank you for the heads-up!

There is, and in a moment or two, there will be. Sorry about that, and thanks for the heads-up!

Font silliness + Wes Anderson quote showdown — this thread made my day.

Futura is visible on a school bus in Moonrise Kingdom, and you can also spot it on the "Grand Budapest Hotel" book cover in Budapest—in a hand-drawn version, but unmistakably Futura. Anderson has changed his title treatments, but his affection for Futura has not disappeared.

I even research

I love that "composite" line, too. The script just sparkles with touches like that.

They're likably insufferable. They're searching for answers like anybody their age; it's just that they express that search in highfalutin terms of academia and social snobbery. The fact that they use that language to navigate their youthful angst is a great source of comedy from the film, but I don't find that it…

That is Hodor. The image of Peter Dinklage Hodoring isn't just something you can Hodor about willy-Hodor. Except on Hodors about Hodor remakes.

That is correct. The image of Peter Dinklage hula-hooping isn't just something you can throw around willy-nilly. Except on posts about Wizard Of Oz remakes.

They say they're working on Mac and Linux versions.

Good point. I think it's a game that's admirably versatile in how you read it. I could see it being interesting/fun both ways, really. You can steep yourself in the details or have a laugh at the crazy twists.

This wasn't in the final cut, but Sam and I discussed this. We agreed that the game was awfully enjoyable as a single-player game in which you play all or some of the available characters. (You can pick between two and four on the character selection screen.) Sam was skeptical that it would be as much fun as a…

Another savvy observation. We actually moved the close-up cameras out a little wider for this shoot, now that we have the room to do so. But I'm probably not going to move them much more. I like the way we set up because it forces the on-camera "talent" to open up to the camera and treat the viewer as another party in…

Could be a bunch of things. They used different cameras this time than we have used in the past—Canon 6Ds instead of my cameras, which are Panasonic Lumix GH-1s. Also, previous Chicago installments were edited by the Onion editing team, who may color-correct differently than I do. (I edited this week's episodes, and I…
