Sony Lifts One to Michael in Awesome PS3 Ad
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
Hang on a second... A group of videogame characters standing around celebrating a guy named Michael for how he's saved them from death?
So basically it's Doomsday Arcade in reverse?

This ad actually makes me want to buy the product in question. The first television advertisement in a long time to do so.
One thing for sure, Michael plays a lot of games.
I've forgotten more characters I've helped get through their adventures than I can count, but if I may, I'd like to tip my hat to three:
1. Gordon Freeman - Let me explore through his eyes a cold war missile complex converted into a massive lab, defied a totalitarian system, and drove a badass buggy and airboat.
2. Edison Trent - Explored new star systems, participated in interstellar commerce, and fought against an alien security organism gone wrong.
3. Altaïr ibn-La'Ahad - Explored the cities of the crusades, Damascus, Acre, and Jerusalem, in a struggle between forces that an ordinary person would never see. Possible by proxy through the mind of Desmond Miles, using his genetic memory.
These characters give me so much an experience, that it is not I who they should drink to, but to them I feel honored I was able to walk with them. Salud!
Honorable mentions: Steve, Carl "CJ" Johnson, Lt. Mike Powell.

It's particularly funny if you've been watching this season of Spoiler Warning (the overdone accents are getting a lot of jokes, along with the costume).Woodsey said:
Seriously, though, that was great. It was inspiring, and interesting, and just generally worked.
Did anyone notice Sweet Tooth's ice cream truck outside? Lightning's weapon along with the rest?
The Latin writing on the wall translates into Long Live Play.
0:27 in, what is the robot thing going off-screen behind the dogs?
Parappa *spoiler* is at the check in.
Who is the lady at 1:35 standing mostly hidden by Sweet Tooth's fiery hair (also shown at 1:50)?

It's really good to be appreciated for playing games once, not being scolded and despised as usual, right?
Good job that Sony figured that out and made this great ad. Doesn't make the games any better, though. Pity, but that's life.

How DARE the Escapist not acknowledge the awesomeness that is Agent 47 at 1:14.
Also, best ad ever.

I watched the ad on another site, and it is pretty awesome, but I can't help thinking that the real thing would be more like, 'Thanks to the stupid git I was run over by a bloody tank fifteen fucking times. Thanks a lot, Michael, for sucking that hard.'
