​The New Borderlands Looks Pretty Good as a Third-Person Game

Usually, when code tinkerers shift camera angles on first-person games, the tweaks make things look really weird. Remember how weird Mirror’s Edge looked from the third-person view? Surprisingly, that doesn’t happen with Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel The switch in viewpoints comes from YouTube channel TFXLive, who let the world know about a similar tool for Borderlands…

Here’s a very good example of what rendering software (in this case, Chunky, combined with a texture pack) can do for Minecraft screenshots. It’s like comparing a finished CG shot from a film to a photo of the set, though here, you get Minecraft blocks standing in for a greenscreen. Look below for the hi-res…

Pizza Hut Unleashes a Cranberry Crust Pizza on South Korea

And it’s in a cream cheese-filling. I dunno, I’m hip. I’ll try it! Dubbed the “Star Edge Pizza” (due to its shape), the 13-incher is covered with bacon, beef, sausages, calamari, shrimp, broccoli, and, yes, cheese.
