According to an article over at the Hollywood Reporter, the upcoming release of The Hobbit will be the catalyst that finally drives movie theaters to upgrade their projection hardware to 48 frames-per-second (fps) or better. The current theater playback technology supports 24fps, a standard that dates back to the 1920s; this, in-turn, was an upgrade from the 16fps that was common for earlier silent films. As video-game enthusiasts are keenly aware, a higher frame-rate reduces jitter and provides much smoother video playback, and that translates to a more immersive and realistic experience overall. (And for the trivia buffs among you, the move from 16fps to 24fps was necessitated by the advent of movie audio — the original 16fps film speed moved too slowly over the magnetic heads to produce quality sound playback.)

A man named Obi Wan Kenobi was arrested in California on five counts of hit and run after he used his reckless driving to trigger a five car pile up. After investigating the March 19 accident, the Roseville Police Department busted Kenobi Saturday on a felony hit-and-run charge and booked him into the Placer County jail, where the adjacent mug shot was snapped. At the time of his arrest, Kenobi was wanted on an outstanding warrant charging him with misdemeanor petty theft. Kenobi was released from custody yesterday and placed “on electronic monitoring,” according to a spokesperson for the Placer County Sheriff’s Office. Formerly known as Benjamin Cale Feit, Kenobi changed his name in 1999 in response to a radio stunt tied to the release of “Stars Wars: Episode I.” A California station offered $1000 to the first listener to legally change their name to that of the fictional Jedi master.

It has been three years in the making. Two years late. Lots of stress. Many disasters, three re-writes. 6 designers and artists, three developers, and 1 crazy boss. No bears were hurt in the making of this game. But a few developers lost their minds.
