"A little over a week ago, I stumbled upon a website called Dead End Thrills, filled with hundreds of images that blur the line between video game screenshots and legitimate photography. Screenshots are a pretty big part of gaming media, but how many of us really spend time admiring them anymore? Does anyone have a favorite screenshot that you like to have pasted on your desktop or what have you? When is the last time you've looked at a screenshot and called it "pretty" on its own merits? Like with machinima videos, games offer the potential for photographs that real life can't replicate, since they are realized fantasy spaces that you can influence at your leisure -- lighting and environments already rendered. It just depends on how much you can manipulate those things. Given that, it's actually kind of insane that no one until now thought to take it this far." (Daniel Sims, BitMob)
