This is not entirely dissimilar to one of my The Secret World Characters.

I suppose that I shouldn’t admit that, but what the heck. It’s an amusing video.

Mind you, my Secret World character is also carrying an Assault Rifle – which, bizarrely, is one of the items that you also use to heal* in that game – but I suppose that wouldn’t have worked for the ad.

*Very quickly: multi-player video games usually break player choices down into three groups. There are tanks: their job is to draw fire, get smacked around, and generally act as meat shields. There are DD (Damage Dealers), who worship at the holy altar of Damage Per Second (or DPS: the higher, the better) done to the bad guys. And there are healers, whose job it is to keep the other two groups alive. As near as I can tell, it all just kind of evolved that way.

No, I’m not going to explain how you heal people with an assault rifle.  It’s a matter of some humor inside the game itself, honestly.

  1. They’re very talented. If a bit unhinged.

    Out of curiosity, did you play the Destiny beta?
    I ask, because it was fun, because I could always use more friends for when it actually launches, and because the classes didn’t break down in the traditional fashion. (Despite appearances to the contrary.)

  2. I’m preally impressed by the 1st person POV of the balcony jump. I guess the camera operator was wearing a harness and they slowed her as she fell?

    As to the healing assault rifle: “Bees did it.” 😛

      1. Not at all.
        I’m just kinda cared to see what they do with it.
        Obviously, they started with schoolgirls, but we all know it’s not going to stop there. And that it’s going to pretty incomprehensible to anyone not Japanese.

        1. The Japanese culture is nothing more than a blender (or maybe a Benihana chef with a really sharp santoku) breaking down outside cultural influences into bite-sized pieces, mixing with pieces from other cultures, and serving them hot and spicy.
          .
          This isn’t a slam, by the way, more admiration – the Japanese cultural food processor keeps on grinding, long after the Chicago cultural processor sputtered and died.
