Even if you have no idea what H.A.W.X is (it's about Tom Clancy flying airplanes, right?), Mega64's promotional video for the game is a delight. As is often the case for most Mega64 videos, we don't want to say too much about the content and risk ruining your special memory of seeing it for the first time. We will say that the group has managed to make a video that is manlier than even the Tom Clanciest game.
Chances are, one question will be dominating your thoughts after you watch this: where can I get that song? Good news! Anticipating the riotous clamor for the background music, the Mega64 boys have made an MP3 available at their site.

Am I wrong for not laughing until Grandma shows up?

no you are not wrong, but when she did it got decidedly better.

actually, you're both right.
It got "better" at the end, but like Panda said...I didn't "laugh" really, I kind of smirked at the "bags of shit" line.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't get these Mega64 videos, ever.

I didn't even so much as smirk, it was horseshit.

Got the demo this morning. I was hoping it was going to be better than ace combat 6 but it barely scrapes a 5 out of 10. The advert is crap until the end.

@Dirty:
We posted about the demo two days ago: http://www.joystiq.com/2009/02/09/hawx-demo-barrel-rolls-onto-xbox-live-feb-11/
I linked to it in this very post, and it's also in our weekly Now Playing roundup: http://www.joystiq.com/2009/02/09/now-playing-february-8-14-2009/#x360

There really aren't any funny parts.
Just a grandma mouthing off at the end.

May I also direct your attention to this top gun vid:

FYI, the guy in black and white is Northstar, a gay character, which will explain some of his actions.

Wow, i just wasted three minutes of my life. Pretty sub-par for Mega64.

And you just wasted another minute writing that insightful comment.

Good to know that Joystiq commenters have no sense of humor. This is hilarious.

I can't stand that crap either, no wonder I didn't find any humor in this video.
It's like people just quit trying to be funny, and that's ironic..and irony is funny?

Dude, I thought so too, but only towards the end. Throughout the first half while they were outside I couldn't help but think of some Judd Apatow produced thing. Whoever the guy with HAWX was, really seemed Jonah Hill-ish

This video doesn't live up to Mega64's standards, IMO. Where is the hilarity inspired by such classics as Tetris and Shenmue?

I got the Top Gun volley ball reference, but it lost me after that.
Not very funny after that....until Grandma walked in. She could kick John Wayne's ass.

Oh man for the first half of this video i thought they were advertising for a new beach volleyball game and was going to be scared.
Then a grandma came in and set that straight. This would have been advertising gold for DoA Extreme Beach Volleyball 3.

That wasn't funny, and didn't deserve to be posted as news at all.
No L.O.L.Z. at all.

Hate to sound like an echo, but nothing about this video was remotely funny.
