And then he proceeds to clear the stand, knocking even his own game box aside to make room for the SAB. That’s just too perfect for words.

I think it’s the sound effects at that moment that make it for me.

The commercial totally booped my nostalgia button.

I have to admit, the commercial was pretty awesome. Well done, folks! :-)

As someone old enough to remember the original ads that inspired this…I’m doing a RL ROTFL here. :-)

Though the true awesome of all this? Realizing that somewhere in Arenanet’s offices, there’s a full-size Rytlock costume. Wonder if they have used/will use that at trade shows?

That video really needs to go viral. I bet a lot of people would love it! It can get a lot of views easily.

The answer is yes.

We have some crazy talented people in our cinematics department.

Hey Josh, please help me to pass a message to the wizards at cinematics department that they NAILED the campy feel of 80s commercial. Awesome piece of work!!

Nice job, cinematics department.

XD where has this been hiding? This should be on TV, if I handent run accross it on forums I may’ve never seen it and its pretty cool.

I grew up with those commercials, so this just made me feel all tingly and giggly inside. =D

At the request of the comments on the commercial xD

Think ‘stop the graphics’ needs to be a meme now. .-.

OMG. Anet my faith in you is restored.

Phlogus.2371:

I want my Charr’s eyes to flash and make a wild panther roar when i smile.

Oh that’s not a panther. That’s a Jaguar.

Agreed. This is easily the best commercial I’ve seen for an MMO.

Yeah seriously guys, you freakin nailed it. It’s a flawless recreation of the era.

Thank you Anet for reminding me of my roots in gaming again with this whole thing. XD
