I don't think i have ever seen lavery mess with us this much in previous years. FALSE RENDERINGS!! GRRRRR
The way I see it, pseudorenderings mean Dave doesn't have as much time to render the game animation, which means Dave can't fit as much into the animation, which means the game has to be easy to explain. That, in turn, makes it more TV-friendly, which gets FIRST on TV, which brings more attention to FIRST, which gets more kids into FIRST, which helps to change the culture.

Keep on rendering, Dave!
