Just saw this ad (it's a real ad, believe it or not) on Rottentomatoes.com as a banner

Best gaming ad stolen from the internets ever?

Looking at the advertisement aptitude and -budget of typical Nintendo third party games I'd say that's about twice as good as usual. Normally they get three marbles, a piece of bellybutton lint and one half-eaten stale Donut. This time it looks like the intern got a whole Donut out of the deal. :D

Good stuff! The They Might Be Giants commercial for Geo Wars is way crazier and more entertaining though.

You made me search youtube and watch the trailer. I think my brain caught a pretty terminal case of the dumbs in the process. I feel compelled to hate you now. :lol
