GIA Commercial Break, Week Three

[03.10.01] » In which we introduce non-videogame advertisements.

   A fairly weak update as far as videogame commercials are concerned; the Gran Turismo ads are impressive, but otherwise, your standard licensed-anime pablum and too-weird-for-U.S. hamster breeding RPGs. But all is not lost! To help ease the drought, the GIA proudly presents some A++ non-videogame commercials from the Land of the Rising Sun. Though each is a classic in its own right, the Sprite commercial is a stirring depiction of the thirst that dare not speak its name. If you like gladiator movies, then you'll love this commercial.

   To view the DiVX movies on a Windows system, you must have Version 3.11 Alpha of the DiVX codec installed; you can download it from DiVX Digest. The latest codec version (4.0 alpha) is not backwards compatible with 3.11 alpha, so be sure to get the older version. The GIA has not provided, is not providing, and will not provide any further support for playing these movies. You have our condolences and links to DiVX Digest and DiVX.com; good luck and godspeed.

   Thanks, as usual, to Joseph Holley: the John Henry of our TiVo-driven age.
