All work and no play may make Jack a dull boy, but for the folks at EA Montreal making Army of Two: The 40th Day, playing is no longer an option -- unless they're playing their own game as a part of their job. That's what this latest viral video marketing the game shows, as Rios and Salem continue checking in with their developers and try to keep them on the right track.
One thing we will say is that this new video is decidedly more downbeat than the pair's previous jaunt through the office. What's the matter, guys? Does somebody have a case of the Mondays?
I was just surfing and found your blog. It really impressed me and I have bookmarked it. Keep posting as I am gonna come everyday for reading.savoy sharm
Too bad they weren't around to shoot the lazy asses who allowed the last game to come out as it did. Seriously that was a wasted effort for the ages. Hope this one is good but I won't be holding my breath.
I'm really hoping they revamp the whole MP. It was the suckiest mp evah! Why not just copy GOW? The aggro thing was kind of silly too but I think I saw in a gameclip that its back. Oh well, Im still gonna rent it for sure. If it ends up being special Ill keep it.
It sounds like it. I really didnt have a problem with the voice actors but there was definately too much cursing. What really has me happy is that the graphics, story and now the weapons have been improved. I saw on GT that they recorded every single weapon with a lot of detail which they didn't do for the first. Each gun sounded the same on the first which sucked balls.

Rios and Salem increase productivity 500%. Then your employees will never sleep again.
D dogg @ Oct 13th 2009 1:26AM
Actually, I don't know which is scarier: these two or Terry Tate, Office Linebacker!
speedmetaldemon @ Oct 12th 2009 11:18PM

There is nothing straight about two buff guys wearing gimp masks.
Solace @ Oct 13th 2009 2:05AM
except the barrel of their gun
rooshma @ Oct 13th 2009 11:46AM
Yes, they do only have one.
speedmetaldemon @ Oct 12th 2009 11:24PM
Damn it, I ment to respond to Special Agent Steve. I hate when that happens.
speedmetaldemon @ Oct 12th 2009 11:27PM
Huh? I saw ski masks, but if you saw 'gimp masks' there is nothing strait about you. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Saihna @ Oct 12th 2009 11:38PM
I think his 'reply' button must be messed up.
Saihna @ Oct 12th 2009 11:40PM
Damn irony.
Wardo @ Oct 13th 2009 12:04AM
Does anyone ever as you if you have, "a case of the Mondays?"
Wardo @ Oct 13th 2009 12:04AM
*ask
Frank @ Oct 13th 2009 2:48AM
A case of the Masochistic Mondays? Maybe following Sadistic Sundays.
Donaghy @ Oct 13th 2009 7:17AM
No.
No man.
Shit nah man.
I believe you'd get your ass kicked saying something like that, man.
Drew -- PS360: uphillbothways @ Oct 13th 2009 11:28AM
What would you do if you had a million dollars?
Wardo @ Oct 13th 2009 12:50PM
Well Donaghy got the joke...
johnnynumber5 @ Oct 13th 2009 12:32AM
They have put together some incredible compositing in these viral marketing videos.
Solace @ Oct 13th 2009 2:04AM
What's with the hookers in the EA studios at 0:19?
kentuckyfried @ Oct 13th 2009 2:20AM
I'd not ever pay any money to hit either of *that*.
Mats @ Oct 13th 2009 4:39AM
Gloves makes a hooker? Not all jobs have a dresscode youknow.

Hilarious!
Bluebreaker @ Oct 13th 2009 3:33AM
Well, I guess I could put on some Boomtown Rats for both of them and let them work through their dislike of mondays that way.

I'm really liking these ads
CH3BURASHKA @ Oct 13th 2009 7:24AM
It's been 5 hours. There's been no news so far...
Hydrophobicfish (PSN: HydrophobicFish) @ Oct 13th 2009 8:03AM
So... in the first game there was a fist bump button...
I believe that this video confirms that the fist bump button has had context applied to it, and is now also a micromanage button?
Johnny Neat @ Oct 13th 2009 8:15AM

A men brother! and was that the same voice actors?
