Trailers: Fire Emblem for Wii Coming November 5

As I was looking into Soul Calibur Legends I came across information on Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. It comes out November 5th and now I’m wondering if I should get that too. Though there’s a lot of strategy involved, and I’ve never really played those games. It could also be a large time commitment. On the upside it does offer 16:9 aspect ratio support for a wide view of the battlefield. So it could be an excuse to finally buy an HDTV.

What do you think? And can I get into the game without having played the previous Fire Emblem installments? It looks like this game picks up where the last one left off.

Trailers: Soul Calibur Legends for the Wii

Soul Calibur Legends is coming out for the Wii on November 13th. It’s mostly a single player or co-op game, with some multiplayer modes added. A third-person action adventure it’s called. So I’m hoping it gives me a taste of the traditional Soul Calibur game model on the Wii, with a well-developed storyline and innovative gameplay that takes advantage of the Wii remote motion-sensing capabilities. I found some new trailers, and I think I might have to pre-order this game from Amazon soon. Check out the videos of the gameplay.

And I will still need to get an Xbox 360 so I can play Soul Calibur 4 when it comes out.

Starburst Commercial: Berries and Cream

This is one of the weirdest commercials I have ever seen. It’s the guy’s voice that makes it so creepy. But I have now come across it online and you must watch it. Isn’t the “lad” creepy?

Bud Light Commercial: Broken Bottles at the Opera

Just saw this new Bud Light commercial recently. Very funny. It had the room cracking up.

please drink responsibly. and only if you are 21+ years of age.

Dove Evolution Commercial

I just came across this great Dove commercial that had been mentioned by some people when I was at the Future of Online Advertising Conference. It was part of a viral campaign where you see how a model is made up and then air-brushed in time-lapsed photography. It was shown as an example of a successful campaign, and it was geared at inspiring girls and lifting self-esteem through the Campaign For Real Beauty.

Toyota Tacoma World of Warcraft Commercial

Today I have a new commercial for you. This one comes from Toyota and puts the Tacoma in the game World of Warcraft (WoW). Check it out. Who says there aren’t trucks in World of Warcraft? “Did you see me lay down the law? I am the law-giver!”

The last bit makes it clear it is a Toyota commercial, if you couldn’t tell. Very cool use of advertising.

Stephen Colbert Running For President in South Carolina

Here you can see Stephen Colbert’s presidential campaign announcement. And it’s a legal video now that Comedy Central put tons of clips online. If you live in South Carolina you can download and sign the petition to get him on the ballot at Colbert08.org. This could be promotion for his new book, but it’s funny either way. I’m wondering how campaign laws would come into play, since he is on television every day and there are laws about equal airtime. Weren’t television networks unable to air Reagan’s films while he was running for President?

And you can buy his new book: I Am America (And So Can You!)

Street Fighter 4 Trailer Released

A teaser trailer for Street Fighter 4 has been released at Street Fighter World. It’s odd that the game had recently come up in conversation. I will embed the video here when I find a copy that lets me do that, but until then go check out that link for a nice stylized teaser trailer.
