I just watched a Pantene shampoo ad before the XBLA In Brief video. Hooray for targeted advertising.

If you click on the video, it'll open in a new viddler window without ads.

Hehe! I didn't watch it. I muted the sound and scrolled away the commercial while I read funny comments like yours. :)

This came out of nowhere for me. It's surprising and welcome to see such a game make it to a full-fledged XBLA release. It definitely deserves better than the indie outlet. I know all about Fancy Pants now. Where have I been, under a doodle rock?

Looks fancy

Stay fancy.

XBLA in briefs. Fancy briefs.

Whoa, wasn't this originally a flash game?

OMFG. You just saved a few people $10. Thank you.

@FlashJS: That's a completely different game :P

@DrNeroCF

What do you mean it's different? Like different levels? The title of the flash game says "Fancy Pants Adventures" (minus the "The") and the graphics and gameplay look similar...

@FlashJS: The series started in Flash, that's World 1. There's and World 2 in Flash also, but FPA for console is the third adventure, far bigger than the 2 Flash games. Plus it has multiplayer, online and local, and new competitive game modes, and the game comes with World 1 and 2 unlockable, with multiplayer and all the improvements. Play the Flash games then download the demo, you'll see it's much different / better. Made sure there's a ton of new content and game modes so you guys would get your money's worth ;)
