However, I still give the edge to the Delta video just because is always visually interesting, whether it is the way a shot is framed, the lighting, or the way the video is cut. There were a few moments during the Virgin America video that had me twiddling my thumbs.

It makes the Delta video look uninspired. You need to see the Virgin America Safety Video, now that I've flown them enough, I really like watching the first timers see this video.

]]> Comment on Left 4 Sale by Eric http://www.terminallytrivial.com/2009/02/19/left-4-sale/comment-page-1/#comment-40 Eric Wed, 18 Mar 2009 02:34:34 +0000 http://www.terminallytrivial.com/?p=119#comment-40 I know a few people who jumped on Left 4 Dead when steam had that weekend sale. I've reached a point where it takes a truly phenomenal game to get me to shell out 60 bucks. With most new releases, I wait until I can catch it on sale. I got fallout 3 about a month after launch for 30 bucks (black friday sale). Cheapassgamer.com just put in a price tracker which I recommend trying out.
