Weird Tip to Improve Your Lifestyle: don't buy a Vita

Whey too cool.

How much does this game whey? Cause it seems heavy.

This man speaks to my sensibilities.

I have a vita. I'll buy this game. I'm not a monster.

I want to buy a Vita just to get this game before it's illegal...

Who am I kidding? I live in Australia - it'll never get through classification. "Those blocks are nude! And they use drugs! And they explode! Refused Classification."

I DO like puzzle games ...

I never really enjoyed Tim's articles, but this video is pretty great.

Sure, I'll buy it. If only for the amusement that trailer gave me. Oh, and the tip that just potentially changed my life for the better. Plus, I quite enjoy match puzzle games, and it's the kind of thing I'd imagine works well on the Vita too. I just wish more people had a Vita so they could play this too!

I can feel my brain rewiring itself as I play this awesome game.

Love Insert Credit. But I'm sure like many watching this ad, I have no Vita or... Sony mobile ... a Pocketstation? Anyway, I'm waiting to see how this mystical Vita controlling the PS4 nonsense works out. I like to keep that dream of future Vita relevancy alive for myself.

Presumably this game will appear on the PS3 shop as well at some point, along with all the other Vita stuff currently wasting my time when I browse there. Then we'll see. There's no law what says I have to buy the system before the game. And no law yet to curb the horrendous, widespread drain on American productivity that is the Match 3 game. That could change any day now. We could be matching a maximum of 2 before we know it.

This looks like a _SYSTEM SELLER_

OK, I'm also getting a PS Vita for Hotline Miami and Guacamelee! but that's besides the point, because I'll be getting at pre-paid card for my brother and putting it on his system as well.

Who hasn't had a tasty shower beer? Honestly!

@meatball: i reckon my articles are a lot more tolerable once you realize these videos are the exact tone i am trying to communicate in my articles!

i am thinking that maybe i should, uh, just do videos?

@cviii: I want to buy your game, but it's not available in Mexico. WTF, bro. Went into my phone and grabbed Ziggurat, because I just can't let you go to jail, even when your product is not available at my convenience. Ziggurat, too, is awesome.

Let me know when this has been released on the European PS-Store and I'll go and buy it...

WUT, i thought tim rogers was an old man

Funny trailer but it looks like Bejeweled

Valuable game development proteins. Buckets of 'em, yo.

Pfft. All real bodybuilders know that If you get kidney failure from having too much protein then you simply have to use your inhuman strength to tear out someone else's kidneys and smash them into your body.

Hil-arious! :) That has to be one of the best promotional videos for a game I've seen. I'll look up reviews for the game real quick, and as long as they are decent, I think I have to buy this game...even if its just because of the video.

Meh. Not really into the video or the way the game looks. Good luck to him tho

Looks absolutely nothing like Bejeweled.

I always find it amusing when any kind of block like puzzle game comes up people who don't play puzzle games just assume it looks like Bejeweled. It's like looking at Halo and saying it looks like Rise of the Triad.

Well the video doesn't do THE BEST job of explaining the game. But from what I see, you are matching likewise blocks to make them disappear, except you can chain long combos of different colored blocks. Now correct me if I'm wrong, I am obviously a puzzle game simpleton that only plays a bejeweled clone on his phone from time to time in the bathroom, but matching colored blocks to make them disappear seems pretty similar to Bejeweled.

Trailer of the Year, right here

@greenshoes: AKA The one good thing Kotaku ever had going for them.

Oh my God.

If it results in more videos like this that could be pretty rad. Also, I'll go read some of your work again and attempt to imagine it being delivered this way. ;)

Seriously. Having a beer in the shower is one of the best things.

When did Michael Cera start making games?

I kid, I kid. That was a pretty great video for what looks like could be a fun game. Although there is the issue that I don't have a Vita.

At the beginning, I wanted to punch him in the face. At the end, I wanted to punch him in the face slightly less.

I dig the shower beer reference though.

Games like this are why I did a roundabout install of PSM on my rooted Android phone. It's a nice option if you know your way around Android and don't have a Vita or a certified device.

Now I want to buy Ten by Eight but I don't have a Vita.

Fuck man now I have to charge up my Vita so I can buy this.

Nice to see video game comedy genius Tim Rogers get a look in on Giant Bomb

I'm so disappointed in that tip! Of course I've had a Shower Beer™ before !

He's the reason that I stopped listening to the Insert Credit Podcast. But that was a good video. And the game looks pretty good.

Hahahahaha, THIS is Tim Rogers? One of "I nearly broke a black guy's arm today" fame? Well, at least he's got his protein supplements in the shot, maybe I can buy it.

I bought Ziggurat because of this. When I get a Vita I'll consider this.

Also, coincidentally (?) Chris Remo posted this on Twitter yesterday: http://www.slate.com/articles/business/moneybox/2013/07/how_one_weird_trick_conquered_the_internet_what_happens_when_you_click_on.html

If I had an overly expensive vita, I would buy this.

So that's what was happening in Revengeance.

Looking forward to this, I hope it's super crunchy.

Fun to see Tim Rogers featured on Giant Bomb, it's like Marvel vs. Capcom. Come to think of it, Tim Rogers on Giant Bomb as a regular contributor would be pretty awesome. I really enjoy trying to deconstruct his deconstructions of game design, always entertaining and thought-provoking.

tim rogers is the fucking man

Hell yes shower beer. This occurred all the time in college. Wonder why I haven't done it in a while - perhaps now that I don't live in a slum, I feel too civilized for it. I should change this.
