I got another one i need designed!!

 

[GDGF]

We just finished up level 3, and we just need to tighten up the graphics a bit.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Beg pardon?

 

[sprsk]

Man, i cant believe we get paid to do this.

 

[impirius]

And my mom said I'd never get anywhere with these games!

 

[Juice]

I've gone through four TVs--all destroyed by gunshot damage--as a result of that commercial.

I blame standard Comcast cable for only having 3 channels that interest me (the other two being Headline News and ESPN).

 

[Virgin Wii]

Pretty good, but they really gotta fix that one guy's sprite. As it is, when he walks he looks like a mongoose fucking a lambchop.

 

[UncleScr00ge]

Wow, I thought they only showed this commercial on G4. But I saw it on MTV late at night.

 

[dave is ok]

I've already enrolled in that school as a result of that commercial.

YOU GET PAID TO PLAY VIDEO GAMES!

Screw you mom!

 

[sprsk]

The ads for westwood college seriously need their own fansite. They are easily the best thing on tv.

 

[OmniGamer]

Damn that G4 Westwood College Commercial!!!

 

[GDGF]

This commercial needs to win a Spike TV award, and advertise the fact. That would be funny.

 

[Duck of Death]

I'm trying to remember what the original ad said. When the lady uber-game designer first appeared, she said something like "hey, how's that game coming?" Then I saw it with the new voice over (how are those graphics coming?) and laughed. The awkward sound of the voice over is almost as good as the Happy Gilmore edited-for television joke (the price is wrong, bitch! -----> the price is wrong. . . . BOB!) :lol

The Devry institute commercials aren't nearly as funny though. It's a shame

 

[TheDiave]

That commercial is so incredibly retarded. First off, meat-heads like those two would never get a job testing games. And second, testing a game is never the way they make it out to be. Last but not least, they make the rest of us look like idiots. :lol

 

[Virgin Wii]

I need to watch more tv.

 

[Juice]

As far as I know, that curly-haired freak is the only 3D designer I know who's ever been able to "tighten up graphics" with a DS2.

And when the fuck did games start being divided up in 'levels' again? Much less with a different graphics-base for each one.

 

[Chi-Town]

First off, meat-heads like those two would never get a job testing games.

But they're not just game testers. They're the programmers, graphic artists, and game designers. They seem to be working at a severely understaffed development house. :lol

 

[djtiesto]

Hahahahaha, this is the funniest post I read all day. I noticed that people living in Mass or Texas are unable to attend the school, wonder why that is?

 

[Joe]

WE'VE GOT NADA 3!

 

[sprsk]

Hahahahaha, this is the funniest post I read all day. I noticed that people living in Mass or Texas are unable to attend the school, wonder why that is?

they have real physical campuses in texas and mass

the commercial is for the online school

Is that you Glyphx? :lol

actually, i think they're using a dual shock 1

Edited and bolded for accuracy.

 

[D2M15]

IT'S ONLY RUNNING AT 15% OF THE FINAL SPEED

this is correct

I thank you.

:lol

Someone needs to make an animated gif of this commercial featuring Wall Guy

 

[VALIS]

$50 to the first reviewer out there who works in "the graphics on level 3 need to be tightened up a bit" in their next review for any game. Actually, I'm not gonna give you any money, but it'd be funny. Pleeeease?

 

[LukeSmith]

best.
thread.
ever.

afk getting breakfast.

 

[djtiesto]

WE'VE GOT NADA 3!

"Standing in Line" and all those games sound like new DS games :lol

 

[newsguy]

How about the comcast cable modem jingle? "broadband goes better with games!"

 

[jetjevons]

If you look at the blonde haired guy he doesn't even have his thumb on either analog stick. He's just pushing the buttons.

 

[Truelize]

Nothing beats how the one dude is shaking his arms and crap trying to look like he's really into the game but he doens't have his fingers on any of the buttons. He's just shaking both sticks a bit. :lol If you hadn't noticed that before then check it out. That commercial is the worst.

 

[Battlezone]

Not only that, but the guy on the left with the porn star haircut isn't even playing the game-he's just kinda shaking the controller. Which means the curly haired dude is doing all the work. They're probably playing a co-op game too, that lazy bastard.

edit: Dammit, beaten to the punch.

Well, they just finished level 3, so he's gotta be doing something right.

Would a car guy go "LOL he didn't even downshift before that hairpin, this commercial is so stupid" to a driving school ad?

Would non car guys see that error?

I bet my parents would think "wow he really knows his stuff, look at how into that game he is!"

It's probably just as bad in shitty commercials for things we don't care about

because you know the westwood college of MAKING VIDEO GAMES is really reaching for that ever so important old people demo.

OMG, HE HAS A REVOLUTION! GYROS IN DA HOUSE!

 

[Unison]

:lol

 

[acoustix]

I think they use Turbo Graphix 16 dev kits.

 

[bjork]

This thread = :lol

Every time I see that commercial, I want to find those guys and punch them.

That lady is kinda hot though.

Let's put it this way, if I was teaching an advertising class I'd pull this commercial out as a demonstration on how to make your business look like ass.

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

The sad thing is, when I saw this thread title, I knew exactly what it was about, before I even clicked on it.

That commercial is the worst, and it makes it look like making games is just like playing them. Those two guys look like they've never even played with a PS2 before. Where the hell do they live? Or maybe they prefer Gamecube.

 

[FinFan]

"uh oh man....here comes the boss...."

"Duuuude....I've almost got it...."

:lol

 

[GDGF]

"uh oh man....here comes the boss...."

"Duuuude....I've almost got it...."

:lol

That part always makes me laugh. It sounds like they're wanking instead of testing.

 

[TheDiave]

Agree with the first thing... Second thing, uhm, no. :lol If dumb meat-heads play any game, it's Madden, and usually on a PS2... So I guess that kinda contradicts the first thing... But oh well. The commercial sucks.

 

[John Harker]

I got no idea whats goin' on.

 

[Any1]

Hands down, possibly the best TV commercial ever made. :lol

I love the guys haircuts. Just look at them the next time you see it. I swear, you could replace them for any one of Jonny's gang from "The Karate Kid" and no one would know the difference.

"Yea Johnny, their gonna have to take him home in a body bag!"

 

[bishoptl]

I got no idea whats goin' on.

Me neither. Is this ad available for download somewhere? Come on GAF, you disappoint me!
