This is marketing GOLD! While we're at it we can get this guy to do some Dwarf Fortress TV spots. You really can learn a lot from the Microsoft marketing team!

Owww owww owww owww! 

Wait... what's that sound?  Oh God, my brain is clawing its way through the back of my skull to escape!

This is the sub boss that taunts you before the windows ad.

AGGHH, now I remember why I disowned the nineties! Bad songs in advertising campaigns are especially bad, though, when they're extremely catchy and get stuck in your head for days...

...Okay, that's actually a training video. But we're getting off-track. My original point was that I'm very glad that Dwarf Fortress is the kind of game that spreads via word-of-mouth and doesn't have to rely on obnoxious marketing gimmicks. Then again, every once in a while an incredible game advertisement comes along...

That guy creeps the hell out of me. But I love the video, for nostalgia and simply how awful it is.

Hey! You look like a real jerk!

Why can't we have ads like this anymore?

Yeah, commercials were a lot better back then - OH GOD WHY

Then again, you haven't seen IIIIIIIT yet. The deepest trench of advertising from which no entertainment can enter nor escape. You sanity may be lost, so I dare not post it.

...Thread derailment is fun.

You talk the talk, but how bad can it get?

Actually, I am innoculated against that particular threat.  I watched the whole movie... and survived.  (... Or did I?) (And yes, it's pretty much as bad as it looks.)
