  1. In-Game Footage with a Concept on On The Quality Of Videogame Commercials · · Score: 1

    Too many game commercials lack a concept. They just wrap fifteen seconds of nonsense around fifteen seconds of game footage. However one exception springs to mind.

    A couple of years ago, there was a spot for Syphon Filter 2 on the Playstation that featured what looked to be in-game footage of the main character approaching an enemy. Suddenly, the enemy ran out from behind a box, cowered nervously and screamed something like, "Please don't shoot me with that rifle!"

    The main character replied, scrolling through his weapons, "Ok, how about a flame-thrower? Or a rocket launcher? Ooo, how 'bout this Taser?"

    The enemy relented saying, "That doesn't sound so bad." At which point the main guy electrocuted him into screaming submission.

    Funny. Violent. And a great way to show off in-game graphics while still being entertaining.

  2. Re:Discs in a hand held? on Sony's PSP Handheld Storage Media Pictured · · Score: 2, Insightful

    These discs look strikingly similar to Sony's MiniDisc format. I used a MiniDisc walkman for years and I honestly can't remember ever hearing it skip once. If this new format is in any way related (and it's a good guess that it is) I wouldn't be too worried about skippage.
