    The best thing they had going for them was Kevin Butler, but of course things ended badly there between Mr Lambert and Sony.

    Marcus, although still pretty terrible, is at least a step up from screaming dolls and racist squirrels . . . I guess.

    Man the Mario Bros movie is fucking crazy.

    But you know, so's the game. Mushroom cities, flowers that shoot fire, turtle armies... the movie's kind of exactly true to the spirit of it all. Do a bunch of drugs, make a game/movie concept.

    you know, that Micheal ad would probably be less tasteless if it wasn't for the world war two guys.

    That Sony ad is probably the best ad that's ever been made. The way the old guy at the end says "I have thrown morality aside" always gets me.

    The World War II guys are a nod to Resistance, if I'm not mistaken. Although, given the timeline of that game they pretty much are World War II guys.

    he specifically mentions omaha beach so I'm pretty sure it's real world war two

    I'm pretty sure they're more of a nod to WWII shooters in general, specifically mentioning Omaha beach which was a bit of a landmark moment in Call of Duty 2.

    Kinda reminds me of that awesome Michael ad from a couple years back

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdWkKKSckNk

    that was pretty good if for no other reason than the cosplay

    edit: Hah! I just noticed Paul Phoenix. That's awesome.

    Someone got me the DVD as a gag gift, we all watched it last night.

    The bizarre thing is that the frame speed makes it look like it was done in 48fps.

    Is it wrong that I would have liked that ad to be dedicated to some terminally ill person named Michael?

    Should have been Jason instead of Michael, then you could squeeze Heavy Rain in there.

    Apparently Sony put up a thing asking people what makes them "the ultimate Playstation gamer" without telling them what it was for. Michael won and they tailored the campaign around his actual collection of Playstation games.

    It shouldn't have been a one-off. It should have been a series, establishing different genres of players - from kids to adults, casual to "hardcore," online and offline.

    Then with new games, you have the main characters retelling stories of the exploits of the gamer, getting through thick and thin (while being vague about the plot).

    The tagline of the campaign could have been: "Playstation - make your own stories."

    Or something like that.

    I think it was Patrick who recommended one particular Dark Souls LP in one of the recent podcasts, but I can't remember what it was. Did anyone catch it?

    Nah patrick can be legit obnoxious on podcasts and stuff where he interrupts or talks over people and takes over the conversation also stuff like telling everyone to stop saying gaben. No sir I will not. Also he's been in like 80% of quick looks lately and even if it's untrue it feels that's at the expense of having someone else that you may or may not like more.

    You should really stop saying Gaben though.

    But what if you want to make sure people know which Gabe you're talking about

    You could say Gabe Newell.

    A) Is Steam/Valve being discussed?

    If yes, it's likely Gabe Newell
    If no, and no one follows Gabe with "Newell," it is extremely likely they are talking about Gabe of Penny Arcade

    Or maybe they're real friendly with the archangel or something

    Ain't that many Gabes

    There's a lot of Gabes, though.

    I can see xenoblade being a nightmare for those who need to do every single side quest. I'm still fairly early into the game and I already lost a couple hours just running around looking for challenge quest mobs.

    Combat is really fun, I didn't realize you could aggro nearby mobs when in a fight, and I pissed off some level 40 rhino thing while fighting a named bird thingy. Got my shit pushed quite quickly. Otherwise, I love the mmo lite style of engaging enemies, and while I'm sure after the 40th hour it might get repetitive, I like the banter between characters during a fight.
