Video Game Review Compilation
What if I reviewed Lord of the Rings Online, Ancient Sparta, Infernal, Stalker, Tomb Raider Anniversary, Hitman Trilogy, Zendoku, Armored Core 4, Bullet Witch, and Shining Force EXA? Would it be possible to do it under 6 minutes? Yes, yes it is, but that might not necessarily be a good thing…
No Fox at San Diego Comic-Con 07
In a surprising twist of events Fox has decided to pull-out of its scheduled presentation at Comic-Con 07 in San Diego on July 26-29. Fox previously stated that Aliens vs. Predator 2, Jumper, Babylon A.D., and Hitman were all going to be shown off.
Comic-Con is a huge event every year where geeks share their love of comics, anime, video games, and of course movies. With a predication of over 123,000 attendees this year Comic-Con has become the place for studios to showcase their upcoming science fiction offerings.
The studio’s vice president of national publicity, Sean Dudas, said on Wednesday that, “The material wasn’t ready and we only want to go out when we can put our best foot forward.”

YouTube Behind The Times
YouTube.com has released a new player that mixes YouTube videos together. This “custom player” allows you to customize the name of the player, color theme, and video display layout. The videos come straight from a YouTube user’s playlist, favorites list, or the user’s own uploaded videos.
Here’s our YouTube example:
Now first with the good: the way that the video thumbnails are displayed is fantastic! Glossy, iTunes-ness gorgeous!
Now for the this is crappy portion: no Full Screen view, background colors only? – why not pictures for more in-depth branded players, and there is no way to categorize the videos – they all get lumped together into one player.I’m being serious here in saying that YouTube sucks. It’s an old fashioned system that needs some major updates to catch up with newer video sites that have higher quality video, no site branding, and are skinless.
That’s why I submit to you the future of StuffWeLike.com’s player The Pipeline! Get ready for the future of the multimedia experience. This new version (seen below) is planned to release in roughly 3 weeks.
Major props to SplashCast for creating a great technology that allows users to create their own shows while still being able to syndicate other users shows **cough cough search for The Pipeline** all in one player.

If you’re a die-hard StuffWeLike.com fan, and we know that you all are, you may have first noticed that we’ve released a new design for the website. Secondly you may have noticed that the speed on the blog has been a little slow for some unknown reason. We’re trying a few things out and have enabled a fast php program, which hopefully will speed up the load times on the blog and throughout the site.
