This commercial has been stuck in my brain for 2 days now.
As I’ve mentioned before, I do like to play video games occasionally. While typically these games end up being either some version of Civilization of Guild Wars, the original Mercenaries was so darn fun, I not only played it through 4 times or more, but I even used it as the basis of forming a Mercenary Team in the Civ IV demogame.
Not normally my kind of game, no thinking involved and all, it was a jolly romp through every Rambo and/or Schwartzenegger film ever made. Made playable for your enjoyment. Complete with one liners.
And, while I had been patiently awaiting the release of Mercenaries 2, I really haven’t paid close attention to it. So, when seeing the commercial Monday night, during a documentary on the Discovery channel of all things, I quickly hit the rewind button and hollered at the boys to come see (love TiVo).
However, the result has been this dang song, so annoying at first, getting STUCK IN ME BRAIN for 2 days now! THAT is some good marketing. Surely, we’ll be getting Mercenaries 2 when it comes out. And, if I see any trick or treaters dressed as Mattias, they’re sure to be getting an extra piece in their bucket.
Update:
They’ve released a full version of the wonderfull song, with a ‘making of’ video to go along with it.
Enjoy the full song stuck in your brains now…
