WoW doesn't need Gamestop to advertise for them. They have Mr.T and William Shatner to do that for them. Oh, and ESPN Sportscenter's Call of the Day, which is sponsored by WoW.

I think what's more lame is that Vekk doesn't do this dance in game.

That aside, it'd be better if that commercial said "oh btw buy GW yo" or something equivilent. Otherwise people I gonna think "What the pluck?"

Yea, it's amusing, but it's nowhere near as good as the WoW commercials with Shatner and Mr. T.

Its a slightly altered Warrior's dance.

Besides GameStop doesn't need a reason to be lame.

Not that I condone what was done, but the Youtube commerical is what I saw on TV the other night. I thought it was funny, actually.

Like others have said the commerical is not for guild wars and unless you knew it was guild wars, you would never know what it was.

It was said that people wouldn't know that was Guild Wars just by looking at it, but I didn't know the "Lost Kitty" one was from ET: Quake Wars. Never played it, so I have no common reference. In fact, the last Quake-related game I played was II about 8 years ago.

Has anyone else seen this, cause I cant find the website they were advertising anywere and I'd like to see the commerical again.
Fresh Prince? Bah!

Well good, GW needs some commercials to compete with WoW's :P

Ever since the Writer's Guild strike, it has started to get MUCH, MUCH, worse.

I would be interesting to see what the voices of Vekk, Pyre, and Ogdon would sound like if they did the add for guild wars on the up and up.

Can you imgien Brain dancing and singing about his new X-box... ROFL
