Title: Cracktro inspired TV ad - must see
Post by: firepower on December 16, 2009, 01:56:12 PM
Hey there!

A cracktro inspired TV ad is currently running on some major TV channels in Sweden. The ad is by a company called Webhallen, a Swedish e-tailer/retailer:

I figured you guys might enjoy it. The chiptune is Toilet Story 5 by Ghidorah.

That is one of the coolest things I have seen in a long time.  Bravo!  I wouldn't mind seeing a few from other companies as well, at the risk of being labeled copy-cats.

MSI's new products are actually pretty good...  I'd take them over quite a few OEMs, in a heartbeat.

But there seems to be something inherently wrong with using 8-bit cool to peddle budget 64-bit commodity hardware.  It would have been perfect had they just made the ad for the store, in general, rather than pushing new Windows boxen.

And, indeed 0/10 for the greetz to Microsoft.   :lol:
