What the fuck.

Imagine an alien invasion taking place in the future. Countries are take down and the human race is pitched up against aliens who encase themselves in a machine. All we have left is poor quality radio transmissions to co-ordinate ourselves. For years we have 'toilet-trained the developed world's population' to fight via means of gaming. It's too late to blame someone for our incompetency. We have failed to protect ourselves.

Tha was what it was about for me ::)

The lesson is:

PLAYSATION 2 IS FUCKING WITH OUR FLESH, OUR BRAINS AND OUR MACHINES. AND WE LOVE IT.

This would totally make people play their PS2s a lot more, I mean, since they're never going to sleep again.

@mushp I think better that technology evolution has reached a level that you can't distinguish from our body. Is organic, just like Cronenberg's Existenz.

To me this is one of the most inspiring videos ever made in these ten years. There's something of James Graham Ballard in it.

... Seriously? I hope sony didn't pay in advance. I was hopeing it would start to make since at some point but it somehow kept getting worse.
