i don't think i can take seriously anyone wearing a beret in public

He has a nice Logitech G27 he's using to pretend to drive there.

I see that guy at a ton of intel's technology demos/presentations. But yeah, I hate the beret too. I'm sure he's some kind of genius but he looks dumb as shit.

Also, LOL @ video. That's amazing. What were they thinking? That's pretty low Intel... that's pretty low. They're going to start making chips in a few months. I'd guess that if the hardware can't play F1 2010 (or is that 2011) right now, it won't be able to at all. Unless their drivers suck or something? Dunno. Anandtech mentioned this fail in their CES coverage as well.

Right hand salute!

 

[epidemis]

That's hilarious - good find

 

[Qianglong]

Somehow he looks like he is constipating wobbling up and down...

I kind of understand why they would want to do something like this. It ensures that the game is played well and that the playthrough consistently demonstrates the features that they want. As long as the footage was recorded from the actual notebook that would be fine, but to try and actually pass this off as somebody playing it live?

Just have to wonder why there wasn't somebody here that just stopped to think about the whole thing.

Yes, but at the same time, to quote the top YouTube comment:

lol yea so much fail.

just lazy, i'm sure they could have rigged two machines ready to play if one failed it still wouldn't look that bad.

 

[The Boston Dangler]
