Escapist News Network: New Dante's Inferno Marketing Tactic

[Superior Mind]

If I may ask, what is this thing about Yahtzee that people were mentioning back on page one? Did I miss something?

EA sent Yahtzee a box that when opened started playing "Never Gonna Give You Up" By Rick Astley. Closing the box didn't help as it kept playing so Yahtzee smashed it to get to the sound box and destroy it. Inside was a note that went something like "You have sucumed to Wrath, go to Hell" or something like that.

Anyway, how did you get Brian O'Halloran? Is he the kind of guy you just ring up and say "Hey want to be in my Internet video?" I'd like to be that well connected. All I can do is ring up celebrities and call them names before hanging up and giggling.

You guys pick the best words!

I like how blatantly this rips off Colbert's The Word. Kudos, it takes huge nuts to just steal a format.
Edit - That's unfair, it kinda rips off The Onion's format too.

Oh fail.

That's the point; They all stole it from CNN.

 

[Elf Defiler Korgan]

I approve. I also wish them good luck in keeping it flowing, natural and funny.

 

[laidtorest195]

Jesus i was so happy when it turned out to be dante from clerks!

That's the point; They all stole it from CNN.

I love you.

 

[Archimedes88]

Love it more and more with each episode, this one has some particularly bright gems but they've been quoted and referenced far too much already! ^.^

Fantastic stuff ladies and gentlemen!

 

[WaderiAAA]

Add me to the list of people that thought the ending was brilliant and the rest was mediocre.

 

[RagingScottsman]

I would totally do Kathleen.

 

[Macgyvercas]

I knew I wasn't weird when I thought Kathleen DeVere was hot

I think so too. Hell, I'd do Kathleen in a heartbeat.

 

[JoshGod]

i think everyone would do you

great episode

 

[Yaxley]

I would totally play a Dirty Jobs FPS, but only if Mike Rowe did his own voice acting.

This news report was pretty cool, didn't really learn anything about Dante's Inferno but got some laughs.

 

[halkun]

what I find really funny is Graham actually *has* been doing Kathleen. They've been involved with each other now for years! When are you two gonna get hitched anyway?

 

[FallenJellyDoughnut]

How did they get Brian O'Halloran to be on thier show? Dude, I wish I saw him in more movies, he is awesome.

Also I was serious ROFL when I heard the "in a row?" reference.

For everyone who hasn't seen Clerks:

 

[Revolutionary]

I love how they got Brian O'Halloran in this episode. I was NOT expecting that. I was expecting a referrence to Yahtzee's recent gift from EA.

And I'd do you too Kathleen DeVere!

(sorry if that offends anyone)

EDIT:

"In a row?!"

That was naughty.

Damn, just got that.

bit slow............does she have a sister LOL

 

[Calderon0311]

Holy Shit! Brian O'Halloran in ENN!! I gotta say, I didn't see that coming. Keep up the goodness.

Excately, My allotment of one epic win a week has easily gone to LLR/ENN.

 

[TitsMcGee1804]

these are good...you are the best new edition to the escapist and are making me come back again and again

 

[setvak]

At least we can feel better knowing Dante's the 37th one.

Brian O'Halloran!? Nice! Are you ever going to enlighten us as to how you got him to do this? Did the escapist pull some strings? or was it just a matter of calling him?
This is still the best ENN imo (yes, i've seen the next one by now)

He was at GameX this year.And i guess getting famous people to do stuff like this no problem.
