Big Action Moments


The next ad brings us to the Good Boyfriend. He asks Mr. Big Action Moments for advice because he's sees a problem with his girlfriend thinking Uncharted 2 is a movie. He says it's been going on for 2 days and she still doesn't realize it's a video game. The real problem is the boyfriend is an idiot. It's not just Uncharted 2 that keeps her entertained. It's also the comfortable couch she's sitting on, and the high-def television she's watching as she enjoys her popcorn. This guy is living a dream and doesn't even realize it. You're with an attractive person who is entertained at the video game you're playing. Enjoy it.

The setting is what makes the boyfriend good. The room is nice. We've got a nice high-def TV playing Uncharted 2, walls with color, and a hot girlfriend. Big Action Moments is chillin in his office. There's a PS3 with an HDTV playing Uncharted 2 along with posters of Uncharted 2 and the Playstation logo in the background. Big Action Moments says it’s a common problem then shows a montage of action scenes from Uncharted. After realizing the boyfriend is an idiot, Big Action Moments responds that this is not an issue.

This ad takes away the myth that gamers are lazy nerds, and are instead idiots with attractive girlfriends. For years gaming has been known as an antisocial sport that girls don’t like. Games have come a long way. They can entertain more than the people that control it. The Uncharted series feels like you're watching a movie, and is great for couples to enjoy. Nathan Drake is like Indiana Jones except he never ages.
