The Destructoid Bordello recently received footage of Derek Jeter, John Cena, Tiger Woods and Reggie Bush at the Gillette Champions of Gaming Event last Tuesday where, I shit you not, they shaved on stage. 350,000 people were involved in this ... and what are we supposed to say after witnessing this? "Bro, that bro's face is smooth like Halo, bro! Does that XTREME aftershave come in a Mountain Dew scent?"
It's kind of like the time we watched the Foo Fighters half-heartedly perform at the Spike VGAs: Celebrity involvement looks good on paper but lacks cohesion when you can smell how uninterested or absurdly paid they must have been to show their faces there. Shouldn't the focus be -- call me crazy -- gaming?
Marketers, please don't do this. Competitive gaming is in its infancy. Don't make it look retarded. When the context of your product makes no sense to gamers and you force it, it just makes everyone involved look silly. Including your brand.
Either that, or I'm wrong for pissing on this. Tiger Woods says he had fun. Maybe this is hip. Maybe I had to be there. Drunk. At least Gillette isn't in the business of butt plugs.
I still dont really get the link between sports stars, gaming and gillette. Am i supposed to shave whilst playing Tiger Woods or WWE smackdown Vs Raw.
Or do those games make me so manly by playing them that i instanly grow a bush on my face and think " where is my gillete mach 4 shaver, i must remove this."
SEGA and Gearbox have been slapped with a class action suit for Aliens: Colonial Marines, accused of lying about the game to get it sold. It was only a matter of time.

Typically, when it comes to videogame ads at least, actors don't usually do a good job of promoting a game. That's not the case here with these SimCity ads, thankfully. Actor Adam Devine of Workaholics fame did a few promos for the game and they're all pretty funny. Fancy that.

ZombiU is, by all accounts, a pretty decent game that uses the Wii U's GamePad in some interesting ways. It's helped breathe new life into a genre that's been in decay for the better part of a decade. And hey, if nothing else...

According to a promotional ad in France, the PlayStation Vita is comparable to a woman with no head and four breasts, two of which jut agonizingly from her back like a pair of malevolent tumors.
