In case you missed this morning’s collective Internet boner, embedded below is the trailer for upcoming game-we-know-nothing-about-except-that-it-likely-includes-zombies Dead Island.
Regardless of whether you loved the video, hated it, or only sorta liked it as friends but were open to occasional sleepovers when you’re both single, do not say anything negative about that clip.
I learned that lesson the hard way when I meekly suggested the possibility that the overt e-fawning might have something to do with the emotionally manipulative violent death of a cute little girl. Now I’ve got a bed full of equine heads (though I am impressed by whoever brought the unicorn) and a bundle of 90s-era GamePro magazines just smashed through my sliding glass door.
(Post Script: Yes, I did appreciate the whole reverse footage thing, and the music was well chosen, but I still think the trailer cheats a bit with its choice of focus. Would you have the same reaction to the clip if that little girl was replaced by Louie Anderson?)
Is that Cozumel? I didn’t think things were *that* bad in Mexico yet.
Wow
@Randy: Of course, you intended to say, “Ooooooh Yeah!!!”
I would be standing on my chair, applauding, if that girl was replaced with Louie Anderson.
“emotionally manipulative violent death”–
Oh please. I bet you are a lot of fun at movies n’ shit.
@Nex: Isn’t the emotionally manipulative violent death of a cute little girl the exact same way your favorite zombie TV series began?
I dig the trailer. Not so much ’cause of the zombie stuff (ZZZZZZZZ), but I really like the tragedy-playing-out-in-reverse-slo-mo thing. Who knows if the game will offer anything new, but they found an original, engaging way to sell the tired premise of a zombie attack, that’s for sure.
Well, um … yes, but …. aw fuck, I got nothin’. You win.
Kill all the little girls and let solanum sort ’em out.
