Griffon, every word out of your mouth is pure wit!

Yeah, because it takes immense amounts of wit to come up with a penis joke for something that says "the first one is the hardest..."
Believe me, everyone that was 25-35 years old and watching this was thinking the exact same thing. Well, either that or "that's what she said", which would have worked just as well.

For anyone wondering, the text above the neck reads:
"Congratulations on your first kill."

That was precious - I love seeing the incredibly weird things they do for marketing. That Batman pull-down box and the straitjackets were awesome, too.

It's the simple things in life, like ripping some dude's head off, that really make me smile.

That was cool.

I love how right after this video, where he said "I'm so glad it wasn't a boner," a Trojan ad was played.

I've got bad news and I've got good news.
The bad news is that you just killed someone, and the blood on your hands will haunt your nightmares for the rest of your life, denying you sleep until you simply go mad.
The good news is that when cars are invented, I'll be saving a ton of money on car insurance as your everlasting anguish causes your ghost to disturb the city in which I live.

!!!VERY OFF TOPIC!!!(but i have i really need help with it): I subscribed to Qore yesterday and downloaded the Sept one but I have yet to get my MAG beta voucher, I didn't have any notifications on at the time so I'm not sure if it affected it, but I'm really in need of help, did this happen to anyone else?

You're probably not an annual subscriber, you know how learned that? Google. I didn't even google Qore Mag beta voucher problem, I just googled Qore.

This was brilliant. I was completely surprised.

Ubisoft has made a problem they probably can't keep by using this as promotional material: I expect to be able to clean tear my enemies' heads off in ACII.
... That would be so awesome.
I like this sort of promotional material though (it's always fun to rip things, not to mention peoples' heads). I say that I'd have more fun tearing that paper than I had with the first AC though...

I love good marketing. Which is strange because I rarely see it as a Sony owner.

Wow, thats the exact same laptop that I got just a week ago! its the x83vb-x2 right?

the gloss gives the illusion that its black, like this:

very good budget laptop for gaming! Sorry that didn't have anything really to do with the topic on hand, but i thought that was pretty cool. The laptop was just being sold and stopping manufacturing and i didn't think i would see it in a video like this. Figures though, since I got mine to continue my development on the XNA while in bed :D
