I was watching G4 today... and you know what... I finally
cracked. I had to watch that Star Wars Galaxies commercial
again. And if anyone doesn't know what I'm talking about, let me
quickly sum up the commercial for you in a couple sentences.

*<end_commercial>
Yeah... I said to myself... "Self, where has Star Wars Galaxies gone
to? Have they really sunk so low that they have to reduce
themselves to crappy TV ads that rival infomercials to gain players?"
And then I replied to myself. "Self... think about
something. Movie game... owned by SOE... losing players... OH
CRAP, MATRIX ONLINE."
So... here I am. Kindly suggesting that if the marketing
department EVER EVER comes up with something as stupid as this for MxO
that you fire them, kick them for being stupid, and then throw them out
of the company and let them go make their infomercials somewhere
else. I do NOT want to see a MxO infomercial... *shivers*
Or... even worse... "Now YOU can be the ONE!" Yeah... we're not even going there.
Anyone else's thoughts and comments about the new SWG commercial?
