Red Alert 3 Invades YouTube

[Sonic 296]

Over the weekend and since the special Remix Trailer was posted many short videos have been posted all over YouTube. These videos appear on various YouTube accounts, some (if not all) are listed below.

And to give a you taste of what these video are, here's one from President Ackerman, played by JK Simmons. Is this really a cheeky way of EA taking pot-shots at a certain other popular sci-fi based RTS? Either way this video is perfectly "crafted".

I'm somewhat confused. Where in the world did all these videos come from?

I enjoyed the remix trailer, and these small videos are a bit funny.

Wow, really taking the gaming world by storm. Still, I wish I could see some private videos which are blocked out.

They are from EA. Its called viral marketing.

Hmm, speaking of that, they do look funny, but some of them as we know are considered offensive to other gamers, especially mostly Starcraft 2. It's a shame that they should not do that.

Its just harmless teasing. Stuff like this has been going on for years.

My favourite by a long shot.

 

 

So funny cos it's true!

Wow! So many videos to tell players (especially American players) they're stupid.

 

You know, the vids are okay; they're funny and amusing but I fear that many of these are attempts of creating internet memes.

I'm lazy... who's going stitch these together for me!

I did have that one in the news post originally but I changed it to the President Ackerman video because of the Starcraft 2 reference.

 

I'm lazy... who's going stitch these together for me!

I thought about it but for some reason some of these videos have been made private so you can't get them all..... oh it would take to long, download all videos, convert to workable format, edit, put them all together, upload again and then have some copyright claim from EA about it.

[Gben 20]

So we're both lazy!

[Gben 20]

what's worse than hitting a girl???

 

yah I have a fan!!!

 

I'm enjoying myself... man there is a lot of these. I especially like that they are responses to other videos!

Go George Takei!

This is pretty ****ing fantastic. I just watched a ton of these and I like them. If this is the future of marketing, sign me up for some more commercials.

 

I still hate Tanya, but my faith in every single actor went up.

 

Edit: Whatever bonus DVD there is better include all of these, including any they weren't allowed to put up for whatever reason.

Oh, I see. Must have lost touch.

 

Anyway, I still wish could still see that private Lissette video which got locked, hope that video ain't the only one which is locked.

[Gben 20]

Yeah I was hoping the same thing Chronojam.
