Theater Ad Starts Friday
by eli
If you visit Quality 16 Theaters in Ann Arbor starting this Friday, and if you're not late for your show, you'll probably see our shiny new AADL-GT commercial! It features choice quotes from several of you, a single-player and clan leaderboard, and one of my favorite game remixes, The Alternate Route, mixed by ParagonX9 We will be revising the ad after the next tournament weekend, so if you have ideas on how it can be improved, let us know.
Also, MARIO KART DS. Holy smokes. It is so awesome. We are definitely going to arrange an anywhere league for this game, but there are a lot of logistics to work out. In the meantime, let's get connected and do some racing! My friend code is 274937 413917. Kip's is 068778 956511. What's yours?

Something like "video games, Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros. what more can you ask for?". I thought you had one of the more intellectual lines in the ad.

It also features Ugo & Mario. The ads show in a 15-minute rotation on all screens. Our ad will come up after the Sierra Mist parking ticket commercial and the Over the Hedge trailer.

At least through the grand
At least through the grand championships. We don't have any January Events, so we won't be running them then, but we'll probably start them up again in preparation for our midwinter break events.
If quicktime crashes your browser, you can try <a href="http://www.aadl.org/files/videos/gtspot1small.avi" title="Why don't you have quicktime? WHAT IS UP WITH THAT?">this one</a>. It's a lot larger file and no better quality, but it's not quicktime.
Wow. I totally missed the
Wow. I totally missed the link the first time, but that ad is hot like fire.

You probably won't see the Ad thursday night, I don't think it starts until Friday morning. I fixed the link though, it's not a popup anymore. Try it again.
That was an amazing ad..
That was an amazing ad.. Good job Eli & Co.!
What’s with Eli yelling
What’s with Eli yelling "Master Shell right at the last minute oh but the Trouble Monkeys' lead is too much" right at the end of the Ad? What’s with the fact that there are no game screens in the whole Ad? Oh wait the copyright laws won't let us use their games to promote the tournaments will they?

You've got it, duck, we had game footage in there, but we had to take it out. I'm going to try to get permission from nintendo to use game footage, but I'm not holding my breath.

That non-quicktime file is
That non-quicktime file is huge. It's the biggest thing I've ever had my computer download.
<strong>Edit:</strong>
I wonder how many people it will draw to the tournaments? I'm thinking this will be a lighter attended tournament since it clashs with thanksgiving, but it still might have a surge from the ad.
