Saw IV’s poster revealed

Saw 4 Poster Smaller Size

Oh, goodie. Another Saw movie. In my opinion, the first was good and the rest were all sucky money-making plots (pun not intended). If they had reduced the movie to a simple albeit gruesome demonstration of the various traps, I would have liked the movies. And yes, the traps are all very innovative things. The syringe pit is my favourite.

Well, there are three more Saw movies coming out and Saw IV is one of them. The poster below me shows the head of Jigsaw on a bucket suspended from a weighing scale. While it’s a good poster, I don’t find it particularly impacting, like the earlier movies. My favourite would be Saw II’s poster.

What is really interesting is the tagline “It’s a trap”. Sapphire’s comment at the source revealed what could have been one hell of an awesome poster. Click here to check it out.

If you really want to know, the movie will be releasing on October 26th. I know I’m not watching it.

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…

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.

The Pipeline v2.0

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.

Testing, Test test 1, 2, 1, 2

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.

Please let us know if you notice any improvements or even sever downtimes. Remember to be vigilant.
