Thanks to everyone for bearing with us while we’re getting our site all cleaned up from the hacker attack we had yesterday. Yeah, sure, it wasn’t actually hackers, but I’m not the tech guy here and it just adds some sort of legitimacy to a site when you can say that hackers attacked it. So, regardless of the actuality, I’m just going to blame it on hackers. Russian hackers. With British accents and explosives. And I’m their worst nightmare.
Anyway, just wanted to share a neat little commercial I saw for the upcoming Halo 3 expansion, where you don’t play as Master Chief for once but some human soldiers. It is directed by Rupert Sanders, who is some popular commercial director that I admittedly have never heard of, but he has won many awards in the past, and awards make a director as legitimate as hackers make a website.
While I’d always be hesitant if an adaptation of Halo were to go into production, Neill Blomkamp’s previous commercials and now this one by Mr. Sanders are pretty damn sweet. Maybe a little cheesy and melodramatic, but sweet nonetheless. Check it out below.

This cutesy-ing up my own fantasies of being bigger than what I am and trying to make other people sympathize with my pathetic sensibilities is too much for me to handle in my current state.
Man, Henrik, I wish I were you.
Don’t. My head hurts.
My gods, I admire you.
