Perhaps some Youtube's done a video on it... I feel like I've seen a headline or link saying something like "Why Paul is underrated" recently.

I didn't know there was an extended version, do the extra 6 minutes add anything? Maybe not

Thing that gets me. This is the 720p version... surely people would want the 1080p version? Lol

So if you have newer nvidia based card you can upscale to 4K based off 7 20p

The result is closer to 1440 p

But, why not just download the 1080p version? Instead of doing the whole upscaling thing?

Because you can download faster and then upscale instantaneously

You'd need to have a wire made of bamboo to justify the 2gb more.
And with the added resolution you can even better scale it up.

Except it looks like shit compared to just getting a 1080 version.
