Is it wrong that I want to hug Jim after that?
Nobody should have to suffer through Mountain Dew alone!
Their monetary concerns are kinda...Well, crap.

Oh, God. That intro was amazing.
Aside from that, I don't have much to say. Entertaining and good video as always.

I love this idea. Especially if they officially called it that and insisted that anybody who wants their bonus stuff had to order it by saying they wanted to try crossdressing. Oh, the trolling of people who shout "fag" online. Yes. Yesssss.DVS BSTrD said:
If you needed any more proof that video games are part and parcel of the mainstream entertainment industry, here it is. Pro sports teams guzzle cash from sponsors and TV networks and city governments, and ticket prices continue to hover in the stratosphere. Tentpole movies are co-financed by government grants and tax breaks, sell buckets of toys and other tie-in merchandising, have product placement in their films, but try seeing a blockbuster film without paying the 3D/IMAX/what-have-you surcharge. And of course the movie studios keep crying over piracy while failing to provide any kind of effective digital distribution model for their content. If you had any doubts the AAA game industry is one of the big (whiny) boys now, you can discard them.
It was inevitable this was going to start happening more and more.
Corporations and corporate entities are there to make money, not art. They couldn't give a brass monkeys about the licence or the fan base. If they think they can make a thousand more bucks by screwing the IP over with mountain dew or subway ads. Just watch them do it. Just watch them kill golden goose after golden goose.

Stop beating around the bush Jim, tell us how you really feel.
Mountain Dew isn't that bad provided you drink it in a cup that's three parts ice and one part soda so that it is so cold that your tastebuds can't even discern what you are pouring down you gullet. If that crap gets warm though, it may very well kill you or at least leave you needing a few years of therapy to get over the PTSD.
As far as crossovers are concerned, when will McDonalds start giving out free Halo 4 glasses with the purchase of a happy meal.

Jim first off let me say this... I fucking love you man! I say we get rid of this silly notion of Jim Sterling for President and bump this up to the next notch, Jim Sterling for Supreme Overseer. You just come in and tell us how to live our lives and we obey as the happy little peons we are.
OT: I couldn't agree more. I think that video game advertising has its place. I fully supported Anarchy Online when they went Free to Play with in game ads (well the base game anyway, not the expansions), the line has to be drawn though when the developers are expecting us to continue buying ever increasingly bad products from a customer service level. I think it was Gabe Newell who said "It is a sad state of affairs when the pirates release better copies of the games than the developers" (not that I or he support piracy mind). If they want to have their fueled by Mountain Dew ad campaign, fine knock a fiver off of the product, don't expect us to stomach your greed with open arms.

You know, I try not to think about just how much money AAA developers/publishers rake in on their big titles, because it makes this funny little vein in my forehead start to throb. What the hell do they do with it? It can't just be to fund more development, it can't possibly be for that...
Oh, shit, there's the vein. Goddamn it.

I use Internet explorer... but yeah, I'll stick with PC gaming and Steam rather than have Microsoft mining my wallet forevermore.
You need to make at least 6 to 7 trillion dollars net profit. Before you can be considered successful in the multinational business world, and that's on one property.
All Joking aside, I'm not sure if they are comparing games to business software ie MS Office and Adobe Premiere and what not.
