This isn't going to be a very long blog, mostly because I want to impress upon you folks the value of a really good idea executed with the utmost care.
The video above is a subtitled version of the second of a series of commercials starring LolaTechie, a Philippine grandmother who uses the internet to do things we young'uns normally do, such as SuperPoke people on Facebook or play videogames on the computer. In this case, she;'s playing a fictional videogame which has parallels to CounterStrike. :)
The ad agency behind this were subtle with the promotion for this one, as LolaTechie (or GrandmaTechie in English) has Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube accounts, including her own website.
While the concept isn't new per se, the idea that advertisers are slowly warming up to the idea of a world where the internet can connect everyoine, young and old, warms my heart. I just wish I could convince my grandmother to play Battlefield Heroes with me.
Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
Instead I found an old having her style cramped by noobs. I feel her pain.
I really do have problems.
