I wouldn't call that making fun.  He's just rolling with it.

That's the plan! Introduce the bar and they'll stick around.

Great! Look forward to seeing some 3DS QL's hitting the site soon! Really want to find out if it's got the goods or if it's all hype.

Nintendo continues to seem like the Willy Wonka of video game companies.  And this video would like to remind you that Whiskey Media has the best offices, ever.

Very weird, but made for good video. Liked Brad hiding, then later creeping on the ladies, nice! Still on the fence about the 3DS, after playing some of the launch games it still feels like a wait and see system.

Wow, I just realised that the 3DS is coming out really soon, sweet. 
 
Also, that whole set-up was just, ugh. 
Must have just sound good on paper.

"No, we really do have a bar ladies." Cute that they had women tethered to 3DSes to deliver the 3DS as a throwback. And great name, SonyNGP.

Oh God. The awkward laughing from the models is killing me. You can tell none of them want to be there. It's painful for everyone in that room.

Three words came to mind when I saw the rep parading those women  - awkward, creepy and wrong.  I feel like we just jumped back to the 1970s and Jeff was being invited to a Martial Arts Tournament or something.

Hello pretty ladies.  Why do you have a gaming console tethered to your waist?

My enthusiasm in the 3DS can be heard in Vinny's very low-key statement, "I think so?".

That was one of the more bizzare things I have seen in quite a while.
    I can't stop thinking that Nintendo just has these women chained up in the basement or something insane. Love it when Jeff says "now is your time to escape"
 
  Also, sometimes it pays to have a bar in the office.

Vinny's simulated 3D effect is better then actual 3D.
