Flipping through the new EGM (July 2005, #193) and I came across some rad advertising, and some lame advertising all in a few pages. First the lame, because this will be short. EB Games is offering a Fantastic 4 wristband, similar to those cancer wristbands you see everyone with, if you pre-order the game. Anyone that rushes to get the game because they will get a 0.12 cent wristband should be smacked. As for the good advertising...
Conker Live and Reloaded has some awesome advertising. When you load the page (click the image), the loading bar says
- Loading Guns...
- Loading Broads...
- Loading Beer...
Then it proceeds to show the classic opening with Conker's best quote, "I'm Gonna Get Tanked Tonight." If you haven't played the original, the plot is basically that you are a hungover squirell trying to figure out what you did the night before. Great graphics, gameplay, and toilet humor if you are into that kind of game.
The add in EGM is awesome too. It has a teddy bear shaped chalk outline with pieces of stuffed animal fur and bullet casings all around. Then it has the following:
- SUSPECT:
- Long furry tail
- Heavily armed
- Smells like a strip club
-Back with a raging hangover, Conker is drinking, smoking, and chasing more hot furry tail than ever. Well, when he's not blowing the stuffing out of Tediz. Take your deviant skills online to Xbox Live, or you can always just play with yourself.
