High Quality YouTube Videos

I know that phrase is something that millions of people want. YouTube destroys video quality. It loads fast, but damn it looks nasty when compared to newer video sites.

The co-founder Steve Chen announced at NewTeeVee Live conference that YouTube is working on and will be rolling out higher quality videos very soon. The higher quality videos will be treated as an experiment, allowing the user to choose the higher or lower quality format. The higher the quality, the longer the load times. So it’s definitely a let down for some people.Thankfully YouTube will scan your internet speed before it even allows you to make the selection. So if you’ve got a slow connection, don’t even think about watching high quality videos.

Expect high quality videos on YouTube within 3 months.

Dragonball Z Live Action Movie

[UPDATE]

Dragon Ball Z makeup tests have been found. See this post for more details.

—————–

Back in September we reported that a Dragonball Z film was in the works. Word has just spread that Justin Chatwin is set to play Goku! Hopefully you liked him in War of the Worlds because he is either going to break or make this movie.

Justin Chatwin

James Marsters is going to play Piccolo and James Wong is set to direct this film.

I’m sure we’ll see some good action sequences, but will the story make the film worthwhile? Is this movie for the fans or for mainstream audiences? Will we see a lot of tall hair styles? These questions go unanswered for now…

Stagecoach Island = WTF

There’s no other way to describe a game created by a bank other than WTF?! Honestly, I don’t have anything to say on this subject. If you want advertising by a bank in your game go enjoy Stagecoach Island, a realistic MMO game where you play a character as if you’re living in the real world.

Yes you don’t live and enjoy the real world so go create another life in Stagecoach Island – unless you have already created a new life in Second Life. If that’s the case create a third life in Stagecoach Island – unless you have already created a new life in Naughty America: The Game. If that’s the case, StuffWeLike.com does not want you to visit this website again.

Stagecoach Island

WTF??????????

Spock’s Back, but this time it’s PERSONAL!

Spock 2008

Yes that’s right I’ve created a new word. It suits this new Star Trek film as it’s a prequel to the series. Keeping that in mind, the new/younger Spock looks pretty damn good.

Even with the Hollywood strike, production on the new Star Trek film goes on! JFX Online has got exclusive set pictures as well as the first images of Zarchary Quinto all dressed up as Spock.

This is only the beginning folks of tons of coverage of what will hopefully be a great film.

Lost Minisodes Are HERE

ABC has answered the call of LOST fans by giving them mini-episodes that can be found on ABC’s website! New episodes air every Monday. These 2-3 minute episodes are brand-new footage with the regular cast of Lost. They are NOT deleted scenes.

Hopefully watching these episodes will be worthwhile, but ultimately I can’t imagine that they will be. ABC doesn’t want to split up its fanbase by having some people know some new fact while other fans don’t because they didn’t watch the online episodes.

At the same time the episodes will hopefully feed the fire that Lost fans have for knowing what will happen next when the new season begins in 2008.

I didn’t Know Vlogging was SO Problematic

Well apparently the writers behind Quarter Life think so. Quarter Life is a new webseries that mixes the real world with the fictional. It introduces a twenty-something year old vlogger (a blogger but with video) who talks about her life and friends. Her friends hate her for putting their issues on the internet website QuarterLife.com and the drama ensues.

Because this is an internet show, the creators have allowed users to build their own vlog on QuarterLife.com as well. It’s a rather unique idea.

I’m glad we’re finally getting the longly overdue interactive TV experience, even if it’s not on the Tube.
