Sims, it may well be that your FPS problems is related to Field-of-View – a common problem. Basically a narrower field of view makes more people nauteous – The Darkness 2 recently got some guff for having a narrow view and no option to expand it. About 90 degrees-ish is more natural and pretty common in modern games.
On the topic of James Gunn: Super. See it. It’s a really really pitch black comedy starring Rainn Wilson and I personally loved it.
Just to back Dave up, THE SPECIALS is a really fun, clever film. Y’all should definitely check it out.
I can’t wait for Black Metal to be released digitally. This books looks right up my alley.
