GDC 2011: Homefront Balloon Release Remix

[Team Hollywood]

Homefront Balloon Release Remix

THQ releases a swarm of balloons into the San Francisco Bay. Sea lions and sea birds watch out!

Watch Video

Wait...what did I just watch?
Isn't the point of a "remix" to make something that doesn't have a tune or a beat naturally have a tune or a beat when you remix it?
Seriously this felt like something someone brand new to video editing cut together in 5 minutes.
Definitely getting my vote for the worst thing ever uploaded to the escapist.

 

[Bobic]

This is seriously the best thing I have ever seen on the escapist. Seriously, you should drop all your other uploads and make nothing but these.

Incredible, absolutely incredible.

I don't know what is weirder, the fact you two have opinions on the opposite ends of the spectrum, or that they were one after the other.

OT:
um.. that was definitely something. I'm not sure how good of a something it was, but something. Reminded me of that music trend followed by beatniks where you "just don't get it"

It becomes less weird when you realise one of us was being sarcastic. I happen to know for a fact that Rednog loved every second of it.

 

[HappyDD]

Dudes, lets get angry about balloons in the OCEAN!!!

 

[night_tiger9]

...did anyone else get the '99 red balloons' idea?


(Google it. its a song nena)

 

[scw55]

Awsome. Then the animals have a smaller window of time to choak on the balloons.

 

[Darth Mad]

CAN SOMEONE THINK OF THE BIRDS, THOSE POOR BIRDS!!!!

Sea birds.

The laughing stock of the aviary world.

Actually seeing how many balloons these morons released... made me feel kind of sick. You know, banana peels are biodegradable too, doesn't mean I should dump thousands of on them at once in the same spot.

 

[SangRahl]

If it was just 99 balloons, I'd be all "Heh, that's a sweet gimmick", instead I'm more along the lines of "These guys have no clue what they're doing, do they?"

 

[Enkidu88]

Couldn't they have just made a TV commercial? Or some stupid viral youtube advertising? I don't even get the balloons, is it symbolic of something? Is that how North Korea started the war in Homefront, they dropped thousands of balloons in San Francisco harbor?

That would be EPIC

I lol'd!

Kinda forgot that latex is a natural product (from trees) and has always been biodegradable, and they take about six months to degrade. However, that proccess is prevented when the latex is under water.

Gosh, hope there aren't any large bodies of water near by.

I got my info here [http://www.balloonrelease.com/faqs.htm]. Also, they don't recomend more than 10 at a time. Wacka wacka.

What I want to know is, how did this video get on the front page?! Is it, like, Bring Your Niece to Work Day and someone is obliging their relative by posting their silly remix here? It's not even a remix really. Those .jpegs are cut quite awkwardly and with no context within the video itself.

Worst thing on Escapist? No, but certainly most baffling thing on the Escapist.
