Wondering whether or not this movie will be your forte? I know I sure am. Thankfully we have the first 7 minutes of the film so judge for yourself!

Personally I’m already nauseous.

YouTube’s been going under some mega changes so far this year and now they’ve updated their new player to resize itself to true widescreen resolution. For right now that only pro’s that I can notice between the new widescreen player versus the older player is that if there are widescreen black bars the majority of them will be cut off.

Is this really all that newsworthy? I say no, but the question is why does YouTube find it necessary to release a widescreen format player? There’s got to be something else that this new form of a player can offer that the old one didn’t. Hopefully they’ll let us know what exactly that is soon enough.

Right now because their new player does not embed onto third party sites we can’t show you the differences directly within this post. You can see an example here. Make sure to turn on and off the old/new player to see the differences.

Mr. Lifeless episode 4

In infamous StuffWeLike action-packed web series Mr. Lifeless has gone back into production. The series took a detour off our radar screen after the last episode was released on October 6, 2007!

I’m really thrilled about releasing episode 4. It’s going to change the “lifeless” universe forever! More news on its release date is coming soon.

Earlier today, I also helped film a news production video for a friend. Mr. Lifeless actually made a guest appearance in the program. However not everything went according to plan. An accident occurred while filming and well you can see it for yourself below:

Mr. Lifeless episodes can be viewed in the StuffWeLike.com Video player under the tab ‘Original Shows’.

YouTube Discovery

In addition to the new tab design over at YouTube, they’ve added a new feature to their analytics tool Insight called Discovery. Discovery gives stats on how viewers found your video. By revealing how viewers found your video, producers will for the first time be able to effectively optimize their videos.

Stats like what keywords users typed in YouTube and Google search to find your video will allow producers to modify their keywords and make sure that they have the right phrases. Other interesting stats include seeing what related video brought in the most viewers to your video. All of these stats are combined through a pie graph, which allow users to directly compare percentage wise the different ways people are finding the video.

I believe that Discovery is exactly what videographers need in order to get their videos seen by as many people as possible. I’ve already modified my videos based on keyword results. In fact, Discovery showed me that half my videos are rarely being found by users through YouTube’s search engine. That could be one major reason as to why some of them they have low views.

Youtube new tab design

Our ingenious eyes have spotted that YouTube has updated its video page layout. While the look itself isn’t dramatically different, we notice that is cleaner, neater and tidier. You also now have the ability to share on Facebook, Digg or MySpace directly! The rest of the page also functions smoothly and helps improve usability.

Of note are two new tabs; “Commentary” and “Statistics & Info”. Commentary is basically a union of the video responses and YouTube’s infamous comments that have gone down as being better reading than Victorian literature.

Statistics & Info appears to house details like how many sites have linked the video (including links to all of them) as well as stuff like how many honors it has (and which ones, specifically!).

Observing the white space to the right of the views counter, we also see a button for choosing between normal and HD resolutions - a much-requested feature! This one is currently only available on some videos (because not all videos are HD, you dummy), so don’t expect to see it everywhere.

All in all, while we’ve seen much better looking video websites, this layout is a welcome change as it makes the average day of browsing baby videos and people getting hit a more neater and tidier experience!

What do you think of YouTube’s new tab design?

Boll talking
Uwe Boll once again proves that he can accomplish the impossible, by insulting Hollywood people like Michael Bay and George Clooney, counter the anti-Boll petition, appear confused and speak in a beautiful German accent all at the same time.

Hit the jump to view the video (and the transcript) that will make your day.
