Don't worry, you're not missing anything. Foodbeast's videos are hideously inaccurate. Go rent Jiro Dreams of Sushi instead.

You're probably thinking of Hongeohoe, a Korean dish. Sushi isn't fermented in any way, shape or form. The fish comes straight from the market, cut, and served within the same day.

No, the soy sauce is for the fish. Watch Jiro Dreams of Sushi.

Foodbeast's infomercial method of showing the "wrong" way is irritating. Nobody, not even someone with a debilitating motor condition, would crush a piece of sushi like that.

I don't call it perfect because the mechanics are fiddly. A perfect game has to have great gameplay along with great art direction and storytelling. For me, Bastion's a 2 out of 3.

Megaman 2. Solid gameplay, hum-worthy tunes, memorable character and level designs, doesn't handhold, but doesn't treat you like a masochist. Still holds up even after all these years.

A pity I can no longer bring myself to play this game. Last time I tried, something jumped out of a cupboard and I screamed like a little girl. Right next to my niece, who is a little girl (and didn't scream).

tip: Boxed versions of PC games will still download the extra textures. I know, I used to buy my games retail before I went full Steam.

I have two 4TB HDDs and two 240GB SSDs. I'm running out of space.

Really? Tell that to my Sandisk Extremes, which will be two years old this year.

I doubt even the most inept programmer could leave in gigabytes of extra code. As someone said, assets take up most of the space in a game. If you're not familiar with assets, that means the mesh/models, the texture and normal maps, the sound clips, the actual maps/levels, along with any static objects that may be in

What I don't understand is how EA can charge full-price for its two multiplayer-only games. It's like they looked at Valve's model, and thought, screw it, we want to be evil!

Look, I'm not saying Stan Winston and his boys didn't do anything at all. If anything, the dinosaurs were their designs, and to ensure continuity, the actual maquettes they created were sent over to the ILM boys.

No it's not 99% puppet, where the hell did you get that info from? I've seen videos of that rex stripped down to wireframe, with textures getting layered on. Yes, there was an animatronic rex, but it was only used on close-ups. In fact, you can tell which ones were the physically present rex: it's the one that didn't

I think the rain/darkness complaint gets highlighted these days because of 3D, which tends to darken an already dark scene to near-incomprehensibility. And as others have pointed out, the greater volume of shit CGI. I mean in the span of 21 years, how many other films had CGI this good? The Lord of the Rings trilogy?

Er, no. While a full-size animatronic and stop-motion rex were built during production, what ended up on screen is mostly the CGI rex. You can read about it in this article.

Er, you didn't seem to get the point. Ganon said CGI looks more fake than practical effects. This here clip shows them side by side, and it's indiscernible. That's speaks of the realism of the CGI than of the practical effect.

Actually, people forget that the best CG doesn't look fake at all, and blends seamlessly with practical effects. To wit:

Can it stop a bullet? How about a knife? Or is this suit intended purely for unarmed combat?

You got it backwards. He made the bear-resistant suits first. When nobody wanted to fund mass production, he went with the more urban-warfare spec and tried to pitch it to cops.
