This made me chuckle.

Kind of related but did you get an email about getting free Rams yard signs if you sent them a pic of your Rams spirit? Message was sent at 230 and by 250 when I checked it said it was already out.
Either it was crazy popular or they didn't make nearly enough.

I did get that email, hadn't even really read it yet.

I also got the one for playoff tickets which turns out to be about 2021. Always be closing i guess...

they showed the oculus quite a few times in the rams/cards game and the graphics struck me as a bit odd in that the same graphics are displayed multiple times, side by side.... when the oculus was first demoed special graphics were used to show it off, graphics that spanned the full width of the screen, but clearly in-game graphics aren't formatted in the same manner, not sure how they could be, so you're left with displaying the same graphics multiple times in order to fill the width of the screen:

also, did anyone else notice the funky camera that was used throughout the rams/cards game, when they showed closeup shots of the players? it was almost like a madden video game effect, where the subject was in sharp focus while everything else was intentionally blurred, it was a weird effect.... here's an example altho the photo doesn't do a great job capturing what i'm talking about:

I noticed too. It is used in more movies. It’s the f stop on my dslr I think but never used it on video.
I’ll always applaud trying something different. Think it could be nice but a little too overt so far

Yeah, shallow depth of field for the "bokeh". I loved it. :D

At first I though it was a digital effect, but then when you saw players pass through the focus plane it was clear they're changed the depth of field/gone to portrait mode.
