Roddick plays Pong [Update 1]

Nice one!

You can tell this isn't real tennis, because Roddick doesn't choke and lose.

Could you please turn off the autoplay for this ad? Each time I visit or refresh the Joystiq site the damn thing starts to play. The ad is fun one time, but I don't want it loading and wasting bandwidth all the time.

that's genius.

Took him so long to figure it out.

Alas! He has found pong's true weakness!

indeed, can you please not autoplay such things, it's very annoying.

I agree with #3, you should not use autoplay on the main page. I liked the way you were able to embed the previous videos in the main page but they didn't play until you clicked them. I don't like hearing this ad every time I hit refresh.

Advertisements that appeal to gamers without being obvious. Another good sign for the industry.

And the ad is pretty funny.

I'm in agreeance about autoplay.

Not only is it annoying to suddenly hear sound every time I go to this website (which is why I stopped going to some other gaming sites (cough 1up cough), but when I tried to open the comments page in a new window, like I always do, my browser crashed. Apparently it didn't like having two instances of the movie running.

I think I'll wait a while before I come back to Joystiq, give the ad some time to go away. But, honestly, if this became a regular occurance you'd lose readers. Not to mention probably cause crashes and, if you had several on the same day, confusion.

I'm with #3 and the others. The autoplay is incredibly annoying, especially since it is for an ad. Even if it was just a fan video or something it would still be useless. I shouldn't have to feel like I'm browsing a 16-year-olds MySpace page when I come here.

GODDAMMIT! Thanks for the autoplay sound, jerks! I'll never read Joystiq at work again.

Sorry about autoplay. It was completely unintentional.

"How about a match between Mike Tyson and Balrog from Street Fighter II?"

Ah, but Mike Tyson already has earned a spot in videogame lore, starring in Punch-Out and some mediocre PS1 game.

Really nice concept and execution on this advertisement. I see this is an Australian tv ad, it must have been done leading up to the Australian Open Tournament going on recently. I'd like to see more of this style, rather than real people going into video game worlds!

Well, Flo-Jo may prove a difficult coup for AmEx considering she's been dead for a few years, much like Mike Tyson's career and reputation...
