Spock Got Game

I don't know how much you pay attention to the advertising on game sites, but Stride-brand gum has been a constant for the past few years. Those guys behind Stride reeeeally want to reach the game-playing demographic. That's probably why the company is currently supporting a "save the arcades" campaign, where people can go to a site to play a pretty bad Flash game and donate the points they earn to one of four different arcades. The arcade with the most points at the end of the promotion wins $25,000... which I would immediately spend on Street Fighter IV or Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion cabinets.

Somehow Zachary Quinto of Star Trek fame got roped into all this and made an appearance at one of the four arcades. We were sent these shots of the appearance, which I felt compelled to post solely so I could pull a Jed Sanders and title something "Spock Got Game." Sorry.
 

Save the Arcades! Yay! xD

his head is large.

Cool, I guess. He seems young enough to have grown up with Arcades.

what they didnt show was him puling a sylar and cutting that dude's head open

In the last pic he's clearly playing SFA2 one handed.

Quinto was a good Spock but I prefer his character in Heroes, Sylar. Does anyone know what his role was in 24: The Game? I'm not in the know on 24.

He did a pretty good job playing Spock.

Arcades have declined for a reason.  Events  like California Extreme seem like a better way enjoy arcade games in this day and age.  Maybe Stride should get behind something like that.

Saving the Arcades is ... not logical.

Spock ain't got no game, son! He be rollin' with the 'Liance!

Yeah, dudes, $25,000 to one arcade is totes going to bring back something that's been missing in America for a decade plus now.
 
Why do advertisers think we're stupid?

WOW! He likes to play VIDEO GAMES!! JUST LIKE ME!! I wonder if he also loves CAPTAIN CRUNCH!! I bet we would be BEST FRIENDS.

Yeah, I've noticed. I remember when Stride was sponsoring On The Spot a while back. 
 
Anyway, good on Stride for trying to "Save the Arcades", although I wonder how much they paid Quinto to make an appearance? Might of been better to use that cash to bolster the prize money...

I am still trying to figure out why I think this guy is hot as hell as Spock, but I find him completely meh without the ears and bad hair. 
 
Our local Gameworks needs saving....jeez is it sad in there. They did finally get SFIV though. 

HE IS PLAYING MAHVEL BAYBEE!

More confirmation for Star Trek vs. Capcom.

What a cranium that boy has.

spock could beat every game and get the highest score. 

" More confirmation for Star Trek vs. Capcom. "

aw mannn... I was expecting some Leonard Nemoy not that guy who played Sylar!

Oh well

That Marvel 2 scoreboard is a beast on 9 stars...

Is it just me or does his head look huge on the second photo? Almost looks blown up in photoshop.

Spock would have found that type of behavior illogical.

"What a cranium that boy has. "

What's the deal with the head?  Why does it have to be so large and frightening?

Advertising? On websites? Did you find a time machine and travel back to pre-Ad-Blocker-Plus/pre-Privoxy era internets or something?
 
Also, I'd like to start an urban legend that Zachary Quinto is related to Dane Cook. Seriously. Look at them. Quinto just happens to be the non-douche of the pair.

I love how posed all the pictures are.

I really want to help the SF arcade, it's just that the flash game they have you playing is so terrible it's just not worth it.

Sylar in MvC3 = CONFIRMED

" THAT IS NOT SPOCK!!! GODDAMIT!!! "

He's a good Spock, but I call him Sylar.

Zachary Quinto of Star Trek fame?
 
More like Zachary Quinto of Heroes fame.

" What's the deal with the head?  Why does it have to be so large and frightening? "

Star Trek was great; Quinto was an excellent Spock. Seeing Leonard Nimoy in it was also a big plus.

I'm sorry I like this guy as an actor. . . but if that second picture isn't photoshop'ed THEN HOLY HELL GIANT HEAD MAN IS HERE FOR YOUR SOUL!!!!!!

Oh boy, I'm so glad all these arcades are 100's of miles away from my home.

I'd own his ass at Tetris

The size of his head freaks me out.

what a nice fellow
