It’s the weekend, and you know what that means!
Well, OK, maybe you don’t. So let’s just look at funny YouTube commercials, shall we?
In the spirit of that commercial show that aired last Sunday — and the football game that went with it, I guess — I’ve found some of the most… uh, “interesting”… commercials for MMO games out there, with topics running the gamut from basketball to stalkers to beautiful Chinese swordsmiths.
Yeah, that’s right. So let’s take a look, shall we?
Crafting or bust(s)

Well, it had me in tears. The good kind.
Gotta be the shoes
Though the title claims that this is a Nike commercial, there’s a URL to an actual game site that appears operational. It’s all a little surreal, though — or is that actual gameplay? The cel-shaded graphics aren’t terrible, per se, but –

There might be a game associated with this commercial, but let’s be frank — you’re not paying attention after the first minute, are you? The first listed comment pretty well sums it up:
Sexism online
Here’s a clip that features a game you might have heard of — Ragnarok Online — as well as being in English. That just makes it easier to understand its sad and pitiful commentary on gamers.
“I can’t chase you — but I can fight for you!” Because girls are bad at MMORPGs, yo, and need a man to tank for them. If I were her, I’d get a restraining order filed, stat.
