Damn annoying it is too.
Can't stand it. Whats also annoying is when something old is broadcast in 4:3 and your widescreen tv in it's wisdom stretches the image to fill the 16:9 screen and makes everything look fat. Just wrong. Set the TV back to 4:3 so the image on screen is as it should be. Ok so it might not fill your widescreen bit it'll look right.

Wondered why he'd been ranting about this on Twitter.

Fair point.  Drives me up the wall when it's wrong.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Well there's a man that shouldn't go to the cinema!

Simple answer, build a cinema at home. It's what i'm still in the process of doing ;)

Thanks :)

It needs upgrading, but it's all time and money.

Love the graff in the house. Think the tortoise is my fave :)
