Some things are just too odd to not pass along as today we were sent a new commercial for everyone's favorite crab fishing game Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm. And ... well, we aren't sure what to make of it. The video shows two of the show's younger "stars" talking about the game and how cool they are, but something is off. It's almost as if the commercial is supposed to appeal to gamers in a "oh, they're our age and are hip like us, cool!" kind of way, but it's just too darn awkward. Maybe awkward isn't a valid description. Corny? Yeah, corny works. Give the video a watch, prepare for awkward confusion and

That may be so, but you couldn't pay me to trade shoes with them.

If only Mike Rowe did the Deadliest Catch game commercials they might actually put together a good commercial. Actually, they should just make a Dirty Jobs or MythBusters game and I'd buy it.

XB360FB is really trying to hype this game up... how much did they pay for that?

I'm not sure "hype" is the right word here...

@ Pandy-
Sorry, I definitely make more than crab fishermen and I don't worry about losing a limb or drowning at the office.

Highly doubtful.
If so, you wouldn't be here reading these posts. You'd be off making "boatloads" of money. No pun intended.

Lets see, fishing, getting yelled at by your boss/crewmates, getting knocked into the ocean, losing a limb, pneumonia. Hmm.... sums it it to me.

They actually make a LOT OF LOT OF LOT OF $$$$$$$!!!
But isn't it like the world's deadliest job too?
The show's really great... but a game? what do you do? catch crabs...? yay
or maybe they spiced it up a bit where you can shoot harpoons at other boats. and launch a crab army to fight other crab armies. and maybe you get powerups to control the storms... and you gotta have blue whales too!

To be honest, your description scared me too much; I'm not going to watch the video.

As someone who tried the who... move to Alaska and work in the fisheries for a year thing, my advice to someone young who thinks that looks like any kind of fun at all...
Don't...
You underestimate how cold it gets there. So you... work all the time, play cards when you are not working, and everyone smokes crystal meth, and it is horrible, and you risk getting stuck there.
Just don't...
