There is no Mercenaries 2 gameplay footage or launch announcement in the videos that we can see, the first episode is above with the other three found after the break. If you like cringe-humor created by awkward situations then you may find a few moments of laugh-out-loud humor in the videos. We'll never view motion capture technology the same way again after seeing what Holston does to the Pandemic receptionist.

These were extremely funny. Here's hoping Jim Holston is actually unlockable in the game.

That's the guy who won On the Lot! The guy at the beginning.

What are you talking about? I thought these were pretty impressive. If you don't like that Office style humor, I can understand-- but I thought they did a really good job on these.

I'd like to motion capture that receptionist if you know what I mean.

Wouldn't we all?
I wish the receptionist at my work looked like that....I would make sure she and I ended up in 'special conferences' pretty often.

I'm thinking these are some of the best viral ads I've seen yet. I totally dig the dry 'Office'-esque humor. Pandemic has just gained some respect from me solely based on these.

Mercenaries is the one of two reason why I haven't turned my Xbox original console into a paper weight, the other is XBMC.. any change of Joystiq contacting pandemic for some sound bites. "blow it up, blow it up again".. the only question is now what console do I plug out to plug in the original xbox. the Wii or Xbox360... need to play a few hours of Mercenaries, can anyone recomend any other games of the same genne for the Wii or Xbox360.

haha, I love the office and this is the best take on it I've ever seen.... they truly had some funny moments in these.....
"havin a bagel"
"is he dancing?"
"don't you die on me, NOOOOO"
"Jim Holsten don't take checks! Jim Holsten ain't even my F'in name!"
Loved the first Merc game and defntly will consider this one if its on the right platform (360 or Wii but doubt the second one)
