I should really listen to Dan and Ryan more |

Mssrs Dan and Ryan have been crawling up my butt for weeks about this promotional video for The Last Guy, and I just couldn’t muster up the required attention span to listen to them snag it off the PlayStation Store. I finally checked it out last night. This could be the greatest thing since Webster.
It introduces us to the team at the Hindustan Electronics Company who’ve set up their game studio in the Himalayas to benefit from it’s excellent curry. There’s something very Napoleon Dynamite-ish about the whole thing, but in a good way.
It’s 6 minutes full of t-shirt worthy dialogue. Everyone seems to love the line about being the number one mathematician in the Himalayas, but for my money the best quotes are when the programmer is talking about the PlayStation 3. “Thanks to my advanced programming skills, I have succeeded in using the PlayStation 3 to create these moving pictures.”

“I can make the hardware do whatever I want. For instance, you can use the controller to move the character, or you can listen to the sounds of the game using headphones.”
They said they’re going to make more of these videos… I hope so. It’s the weird little details of this game that make it so funny. Like - “You have rescued a classy man.” Or, “beware the water buffalo zombie (female).”
‘Cause the female ones are so much worse.

Yeah, when I downloaded the demo, I went ahead and downloaded the video as well, and it was a huge WTF for me. In a good way.
I think my favorite was the goat. I mean, they have a freakin’ goat!
