Freeze Mob Overruns Times Square With Lightsabers

[CrazyGirl17]

That... is... AWESOME! I would have loved to have been a part of it... though I'm not sure I could have frozen in place for long. Ah, well.

I'll admit, I was a little disappointed with it until suddenly... THE CROWD ITSELF BECOMES JEDI/SITH.

That was the best moment of the video. The sheer surprise from everyone was great

Before watching it I was going to ask if you meant "flash mob", but now I see what you did there.

This was cool but I can't help but think how goofy it looked without the music and sound effects.

 

[lRookiel]

Hmmm, impressive display. oh well your still not getting my money EA so fuck you!

 

[2fish]

That is damn awesome. And suddenly, Jedi/Siths everywhere!

Also, EA's marketing has improved xD.

I won't lie I was hoping for a "this game will force choke your mom? ad.

I guess this will have to do.

Cool video, it makes me want to play kotor again.

That's pretty cool, even though I'm conflicted on whether I want to (eventually, don't have the computer for it now) play The Old Republic. On one hand, I hear it plays much like KotOR. And I love KotOR, and really love KotOR II (yes, I mean their gameplay and not just the stories). On the other hand, I'm not happy with the retcons. I'm reading the Revan novel now, and they are pretending like everything that makes the Exile so significant doesn't even exist. It's not a minor kind of retcon. It's the basis for her character. It's what KotOR II's story revolves around, and it's not even been mentioned once.

Buuut I guess this isn't the place to discuss that. I would have flipped out in joy if I were in the crowd and this even happened. Star Wars still makes me feel like a kid.

why cant you run it are you stuck with a laptop? or is it something else?

This was their second choice. Hitting major population centres with nuclear ICBMs turned out to be too impractical.

1st impression : dude!
2nd impression : Dude!!
3rd impression : DUDE!
4th impression : DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5th impression : DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
6th impression : DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is all i had to say on the subject. Seriously, awesome.

Back in 2008, I made a dumb choice. I bought a Macbook Pro. I keep thinking the thing will die at some point, as I've been rough as hell with it (dropped multiple times, water spills, coffee spills, dogs stepped on it, top of a table fell on it). But all that's wrong with it after all that is the "c" key doesn't work. So it's built like a tank. I'll probably start on a gaming PC next year sometime.

ah ok well GL with building your PC.

 

[SH4DOWSL4Y3R]

i will admit for the first few seconds of the video i was expecting potential corniness. then the awesome that ensued proved me wrong.

 

[Trippy Turtle]

I have never seen anyone freeze so well. I wish I was there!

 

[Scorekeeper]

That was utterly fantastic. :O

 

[Jamous]

...Damn. That surprised me when a lot of the crowd joined in. Nice job, Marketing. :L Excellent flash mob.

 

[Tsaba]

Now that is excellent marketing, so very awesome.

 

[Alssadar]

Freaking amazing. That is one of the best flash mobs I've seen in a long time. The music makes it way cooler.
Lucky I got my bro SWotOR yesterday...

 

[AbstractStream]

They freezed so perfectly! That was awesome!!

 

[mac_705]

I think I need to go get this game now, that was amazing.

 

[kouriichi]

Ive got to hand it to EA, this is marketing at its finest.

Perhaps they'll take this good press as a turning point to stop trying to sink their own company into the dirt.
