@vig0r: Well, Bash didn't post the original story, so I can see how he might not know this was already posted.

Erwin

Like others have said, this was posted on Kotaku a while ago.

I also kind of have to disagree about Metal Gear Solid being subtle with it's anti smoking message. You could kill truckloads of people, but the minute you select some smokes, Otacon gives you an earful of "SMOKING KILLS!"

Thorax

I think that the punch line from the first time this was posted is that the marine actually died for opening his visor on an alien planet, lol.

cmonty06

Didnt you guys post this like 6 months ago?

LOLz awesome commercial!!

@: Tattle Tale!

Second time today that an old post came back. Except this one wasn't bumped, but posted anew, again. atlast?

FATDAN

During the survey I just took I mentioned how on occasion stories will be reposted and often times months old.

Way to keep it up Kotaku!

@King of Kings: YOU sir win a cookie for that one.

vig0r

supercr3w

@King of Kings:

Win!

I might have nominated for a Week in Comments, but I already nominated another comment this week. Anyone else?

Love it!

interstate78

i SAW THIS A WHILE AGO

You know, we should really be blaming (or thanking) that Jay person who submitted the tip again in the first place.

NEO: Whoa. Deja vu.

TRINITY: What did you just say?

NEO: Nothing. Just had a little deja vu.

TRINITY: What happened? What did you see?

NEO: A smoking commercial went past us and then I saw another that looked just like it.

TRINITY: How much like it? Was it the same commercial?

NEO: It might have been. I'm not sure. What is it?

TRINITY: A deja vu is usually a glitch in the Matrix. It happens when they change something.

King of Kings

Gotta love the "level complete" message. Like they needed to be sure that the viewer knew it was a parody of a game, so they decided to throw in the most cliche thing they could find besides a score counter or "GAME OVER". :p

ShaggE

I saw this on TV a few days ago. Didn't know it was limited to Florida. It's pretty cool, I guess.

fdisk

Lol, people make such a big deal out of a simple mistake.

@: sad as in all of us remember and baschraft didnt?yes very.

vig0r

Yea you guys def already posted this video. But its kinda awesome and deserves 1.5 postings at max def not 2.

bmac320

...OH GOD, BASHCRAFT DOESN'T WANT US TO SMOKE ANYMORE!

akumaserge

Definately saw this on Kotaku a while ago, late July methinks.

Dejanus

@: I don't think it's sad. I actually feel all warm and fuzzy inside because a random website cares enough about the health of its readers to remind them that they shouldn't smoke by slyly posting about the same ad they posted about in the past.

I fully expect to see another post on this ad by October. :p

Danj3ris

Question for Kotakuites: Doesn't it feel a little sad that some of us actually remember seeing this before on Kotaku, or is it just me?

omfg... YOU HAVE ALREADY POSTED THIS COMMERCIAL, [kotaku.com] :O WTF IS THAT??

vig0r

Yeah they play this on TV All the time.
I didnt even think to submit it before because its kind of silly :P
When i first saw it i was like whats this game trailor i've never seen?? WTF? kotaku?!?!?!?!?!?!
-West palm beach Florida :)

Pretty old, I've been seeing it for a while now on TV, but it's still great.

swirldude

Oh my god, could Kotaku be any slower? That clip is months old.

Hilarious, though.

Jayge

Yeah, Ive seen this commercial too many damn times. Another reason living in Florida sucks. The funny part of it though? Every time I usually see it, I'm sitting with a group of people smoking.

Is it just me, or does that game look really fun?

Horoku

Totally inspired by Metal Gear Solid.

You guys covered this before because I remember going "this has like nothing to do with Halo other than it has guns so why are you calling it Halo inspired."

kojirodensetsu

There was a thread on the 1up boards a few weeks ago about habits and gaming, and smoking during and between gaming sessions was a pretty frequent one. I know I always have to sip water or something when I'm watching a cutscene or at a loading screen, so I think that this kind of targets just in the right market with this ad.

Dupe or not, it's a cool little clip. Creative.

nick.soapdish

@ComixZone: What kind of smoking? Because what I smoke doesn't have nicotine in it.

kylo4

Surprisingly not awful.

Crippl3

uh oh:
[kotaku.com]

yep old ad

@ComixZone: Haha, yeah. "Come on, try it. Just one time and I won't bug you again. Space Marines do it, don't you want to be like them?"

Erwin

Cool ad... I want to play this game.

PatMan33

@:
Yup, I agree. Think I saw it as well.

Saw this a while back, but I still think it's a cool ad. Well done, good message, and you know it's bad of it kills invincible space marines.

Xenigma

Can't quite find the original post, but yeah, what everyone else said. Although it is just as hilarious the second time around.

Furious_Liver

@: Yup, I agree. Think I saw it as well.

isn't this a old ad?

i think i actually saw it on kotaku before

I'm pretty sure Kotaku has covered this already Bash. Maybe I'm getting it confused with the FPS ad focused on obesity and I've just had this ad beat over my head here in Florida, but I'm pretty sure I've seen this here too.

Erwin

@: Me too. Here on Kotaku, Owen posted it on one of his weekend shifts.

I_Hate_This_Place

I really think smoking is gonna come back in a huge way....

ComixZone

Haha, I think I actually saw that on TV, friggin hilarious.

GhostWhoWalks

What are you talking about? I saw this on tv about 2 months ago, and I'm in El Paso.

King Seafoam

That was terrible

@:

On the internet somewhere, I don't live in Florida.

Somewhat old but it's still a great add, good way to reach out to gamers who smoke.

darkstar5555

Ummm, I don't mean to be mean, but I think I saw this months ago Bashcraft.

This was only being shown in Florida? I thought someone would've have submitted this! Goodbye, Internet mention! :(

LAME.

Makes me want to smoke right here and now...and I've never smoked aday in my life.

.....I'm tempted to go smoke

chaos_isnt_here

the commercial is really well done.

theres A LOT of commenters that are just begging to have some vowells removed with the "old" stuff

;)

Neverkilled: The complete series

old*

SolidSnake1118

this is really olf -_-

SolidSnake1118

Old.

Ragdoll_

I think this guy should switch to ultra lights

Oh no its old !! fucking get over it, some people have way too much time to complain

EmeraldCockroach

it actually looks funner than halo 3. :/

ruba-dub-dub

@vig0r: LOL, When Kotaku showed this add the first comment was 'I've seen this a million times', you know it has to be old news.

polarenvy

Old video is old

Mikey

A glitch in Kotaku.

The sad part is: When it was first published, I wasn't smoking.

Now that Bash reposted it, I'm back to smoking... T_T

Bokusatsu_Tenshi

Hey this video is old! Really, there I said it...IT'S OLD!!!1

I never seen it before actually.

But maybe they could use this "idea" in games...let's say you go to a place that smokes, one of your stats go down slightly. Smoking doesn't kill you right away, but it gives you less chances of being all you could be.

Smoking is bad for your memory.

Chef

They should make this game... looks like fun.
