Holy crap, I almost made the first one. Damn that Mountain Dew article. Oh well. In other news, I’ll be here all fucking day since I’m stuck at work until 11. That’s in the PM. EST. Etc.
That game(?) looks cute, too bad I will most likely never play it. I went with the PSP instead of the DS. Love the PSP but it would be nice if they put out some GAMES FOR IT INSTEAD OF PUMPING OUT MOVIES! Deep breath….relax.:)

I was just lloking for something good to do on Halloween and then I began to wonder if Paramount Canada’s Wonderland was gonna do anything good this year. And then I found this: http://canadas-wonderland.com/fearfest/index.cfm
It looks simply amazing. Any other Canucks planning on going?

Oh shit, I meant to get this in on the last one. Has anyone seen that Stewie Griffin DVD? I just watched it last night – it’s hilarious. And while we’re at it, and since it’s the season, has anyone seen that Russian horror movie that came out last year, Night Watch? It’s out on DVD now. Pretty cool.
The Family Guy movie was good, best part was David Bowie at the beginning. Now I will stop spoiling. I went to Canadas Wonderland for Halloween a few years ago when I lived in Brampton, it was quite awesome. Would love to go again if I had tons of cash to buy a plane ticket!

I’ve been meaning to go to Paramount for awhile just for the Italian Job ride.. Maybe I can make it there for Halloween?
I think that they have most rides running but i have to double check. I know the main ones (Top Gun, The Mighty Canadian Minebuster, etc) are certainly running.

Matt – do you get to test a product before working on its commercial?
Both were really good. I especially love the dog scooting his ass across the floor. I had to replay that part just to make sure I saw it right.

The pug dragging his butt across the floor in #2 is a riot!

Time for a pun. The ass-dragging pug was a bone of contention during this project. I’m glad he was able to stay.

Matt, I know you’re not a pro wrestling fan, but I really you should get ahold of WCW’s old "Halloween Havoc" PPV’s they used to do. They did "scary" matches like "Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal" and the infamous "Chambers of Horrors" match. Plus, the old Dungeon of Doom angle is wrestlecrap classic.
Also, WCW-wise, Chucky the Doll made an appearence on Nitro taunting Rick Steiner for some reason.
Also, the Undertaker alone deserves an entry. Great theme music, plus he occaisionally does "scary" matches like casket matches, buried Alive matches, Hell in the Cell, plus an inferno match with his "brother" Kane.
Nintendogs seems like a high-tech version of those Digipets that were briefly popular a few years ago.

I have these cards in a box some where from the early 90′s that have pro athletes dressed up for Halloween on them. Some of the costumes are pretty stupid looking and since I’ve never really been into sports I have no idea who any of the guys are. Does anyone have any clue what I’m talking about.
And those commercials are great Matt. Pug= awesome:)

Is this game even worth the money?
Chestnuts roasted by Gene @ 09/24/2005 1:34 PM
Matt, Nintendo should have come to you first instead of them releasing those two god-awful Nintendogs commercials with the 12 year old kids. "Play on playas." *shudder*
JLA — I AM a wrestling fan! Though not much of one as of late. I actually did buy some old Havoc matches…but they turned out to be PAL format. Thanks for reminding me, though — there were two in particular I wanted to cover in Oct.

Okay…so these commercials sound sweet…God my boss needs to walk away long enough for me to watch them.
Nice new commercials. They do have the same sort of feel as the Furby spot. You should have embezzled some of the project’s money though and produced an X-E commercial. I liked the car-driving dog too (and of course the pug….)
I actually got a DS and Nintendogs earlier this week. I was never too into virtual pets before (no Tomagoshi or whatever) but it’s a pretty great game. I give it my seal of approval.

I think your ads just sold me on nintendogs, btw. Can you really interact with other dogs? That’s so -cool-.
Nintendogs is a cool idea but definitely something that looks like it would get boring after a while. I besides the fact I don’t think I’d shell out the money for a DS anyways. Both Nintendo and Sony and their licensees aren’t doing much to support the systems and most likely will die shortly. There is just too much of a market for home consoles rather than a hand held system that probably demolishes batteries. Now don’t take this as a dis on the systems themselves for they seem capable of playing cool games i just think they will suffer a demise similar to that of the Dreamcast. Dreamcast in my opinion was one of the best systems made with really good games but the system was marketed horribly and died. On top of that it can run lots of fun emulators!!! Definitely worth the $15 price tag i see it selling for at used game shops around here…

I was referring to the PSP when i mention Sony in my last comment. Just so people don’t think i’m brain dead…
Chestnuts roasted by phunqsauce @ 09/24/2005 2:45 PM
Sony and THEIR licensees aren’t supporting PSP,but I have to disagree with you on DS.
Wario Ware Touched,Nintendogs,whatever the Kirby game is called,Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow,whatever the surgery game is called,Advance Wars Double Strike,Pac Pix,Trackball Pac-Man,Bubble Bobble DS,Atari Retro Classics,Yoshi Touch And Go,the Princess Peach side scroller…………….
I won’t go on,but there’s a whole bunch of good games out/coming out.
Plus I’m pretty sure it charges like a cell phone,so no batteries.
Plus there’s a ton of good GBA games it can play.

Those were Coca-Cola’s "Monsters of the Gridiron" trading cards I believe Darth Poop is talking about. I’ve got six from ’94. I think that was the last year they had them. I haven’t see any since. Worth it to see Cornelius Bennet made up as a weird bear-werewolf thing.
Hmmmm…. X-E inspired virtual pets. I like the sound of that.

I am sickened by the "ass-dragging pug" in your otherwise nice commerical, Matt. A groomer friend explained to me a few months back how she has to relieve dogs with that problem of the pressure on a regular basis; think rubber glove scene from Fletch.
