GDC 2011: Homefront Balloon Release Remix

[Sodoff]

But-- What?

.. what did I just watch and why?. There was no comment on the upload or anything.

I am stumped.

 

[Lord Honk]

I don't get it. I guess you have to watch the local news to understand a) the balloons and b) the neccessity for this video. Too bad I'm 5500 miles away.

 

[Daaaah Whoosh]

I'm a bit confused. Were the balloons going to turn into sealion-seeking missiles? Or were they just super delicious?

 

[Sparrow]

I'll be over there. You know, RETAINING MY SANITY. I feel like I'm on crazy pills!

 

[cairocat]

Seriously, Escapist? Why did you let some eight year old into your uploading database?

 

[Nincompoop]

That was horrible. Not to mention THQ's publicity stunt!

 

[Art Axiv]

Please, Escapist, don't push THQ's marketing further.

 

[Azure-Supernova]

What the... I don't even...

Let the record show that I agree with these men.

But it said bio-degradable.

I know what that mena,s and what people are so upset about it, but I'm pretty sure that these guys knew what they were doing or put some forethought forward, otherwise the company has to be the dumbest and most oblivious I've ever seen.

 

[smartengine]

So is that why the birds got angry?

 

[Jim Grim]

Not really a remix, is it? It's more just random phrases from a speech with music in the background.

Edit:

So is that why the birds got angry?

Holy shit, this must be what caused the Birdemic! (Google it.)

 

[killamanhunter]

Ninety-nine red balloons
Floating in the summer sky
Panic lads, it's a red alert
There's something here from somewhere else

The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
Ninety-nine red balloons go by

I feel a facepalm for the maker of this video. I dunno what I just watched, it just was just kind of bad. luckily I tried watching that I hit it with my axe series which was just a slap dash cut and paste job that would have been better as hour long chunks of recorded audio.

 

[AngryFrenchCanadian]

Wait...what did I just watch?
Isn't the point of a "remix" to make something that doesn't have a tune or a beat naturally have a tune or a beat when you remix it?
Seriously this felt like something someone brand new to video editing cut together in 5 minutes.
Definitely getting my vote for the worst thing ever uploaded to the escapist.

You have my support.

 

[Dragon-Byte]

are there water-soluble balloons yet?
Shoulda made them of that shit

 

[carletonman]

this is stranger than the time I saw a guy dipping doritos into melted neopolitan ice cream...

 

[Krat Arona]

Seems like "Team Hollywood" got a case of ADD while at the convention and suddenly thought the Escapist was a place to make an ecological point >.> No thanks.

 

[Paradoxrifts]

Can we eat delicious roasted baby sea lion with seabird stuffing yet?

 

[ender214]

When I first saw this, I thought it was a reference to 99 Red Balloons. Which was almost enough to push me over the edge and buy the game. Then I found out it was just a reference to South Korean protest movements.

Also, this video is possibly the single worst remix I have ever seen.
