Bombin' the A.M. With Scoops and the Wolf: 09/27/2013

Great video, but the highlight for me might just be Alex's Mastodon shirt.

It kinda is actually, since it's all wrapped in a layer of violance and other bad shit, it kinda isn't a problem. You wouldn't complain about a torture scene in a hard R violent thriller film, would you?

As someone who doesn't follow sports the whole NCAA thing was really interesting.

Patrick: Please dont compare a steam machine with an apple TV, they are complete the opposite things, AppleTV is closed limited media player only device, a steam machine or a PC running steamOS is a complete functional PC, that you can play your games locally or stream them from a Windows PC, and you can also use it as a powerful media player, with something like XBMC, use it for all other stuff you can do with a PC. And the most important difference, SteamOS is a OPEN environment, people can do anything they want with it, and modify it they way they want.

Hope you guys see this! I really enjoy the cast :)

On the topic of Gran Turismo, I get that you don't know or really care and treat like I dunno soccer/fifa... but since you did talk about it. Thought I'd let you guys know a bit about the film. For petrol heads and car culture folks GT is a big deal still. I can trace my passion for cars and auto racing back to games like Gran Turismo and Driver.

This information concerning the the film, comes from the Gran Turismo 6 info session at Gamescom 2013:

• Polyphony Digital has received requests for over 7 years from movie companies interested in creating a film about the Gran Turismo franchise.
• Kazunori finally agreed to this film project because it wasn’t just a “car action movie”, and instead placed a focus on a youth’s “growth and maturity”.
• Kazunori hinted the movie could start with a mother, worried about her son playing video games, and tells the story of how he goes on to become a successful racing driver.

The other thing I heard is that it might just be based off the successful stories that have come out of the GT Academy program (this driver program is ran by PD in conjunction with Nissan). Though I mean they already have a reality tv show. The winners have gone on to take podiums and do well in endurance racing.

Lastly a documentary is coming out titled: KAZ: Pushing the Virtual Divide.

I only write all of this in hopes to get you guys to change your perspective on GT a litte. The opinion that you guys have for GT, just feels stale. It's boring to listen too, heard it for years.

This is like saying an iPhone and Galaxy S4 should not be considered collectively as smartphones.
