Because the best way to get someone to join you is insulting them! I'm all for linking the skills from games to the army, but atleast try and hide the disgust until atleast the end of the advert.
I feel like this would have been a much more effective advert if it was about a young man playing Call of Duty online who hurls abuse at other players when he gets killed.
Should we tell them? http://gamasutra.com/view/news/224400/Gamers_dont_have_to_be_your_audience_Gamers_are_over.php
Compassion of 'snowflakes' This phrase says so much and it's only 3 words long, oh lordy.
Still cringe from that GamerGate bullshit journos pulled back in 2014.
Attention all epic Fortnite Gamers, rise and grind! Your nation is in grave danger.
machine gunning minorities is a shared british and gamer tradition so why not
who's gonna identify with the label "phone zombie"?
mod really scraping the barrel now lmao. and going forward, there seems to be a lot of assumptions about Gen Z, primarily that they are just millennials ++. Considering every generation is almost always a counter culture to the one that came before it, the worst thing to do with targeting gen z'ers is to remind them of all the things they probably despise about their millennial parents. I'm not sure if anyone is proud about spending 99% of their existence glued to a virtual world. I mean many people do it, but admitting it is like of like admitting to jerking off to transexual porn.
Reminds me of a certain ad from fiverr.
MoD now asking for your parents credit card number, the expiry date and three digits on the back so you can go off and be cannon fodder for some war you have no idea why we're in.
I wonder if its worth issuing a smartphone full of pdfs to troops nowadays. Would have to be a fugly ruggedized resistive touch clamshell, a heavy nintendo ds covered in carcinogenic paint.
It also has to cost 1,000,000 a phone
Gamers need to accept the opportunity, so we can later rise up and no longer live in a society.
You could give a monkey a gun and a box of crayons and it'd make a better recruitment campaign than whatever this is lmao
I don't think the video I saw shit on gamers all too much. Actually looked pretty good for an ad. Would've chosen a different game; definitely would've hit up CoD or CS:Go for it.
Fun fact, military pay checks can pay for your video games. Boom, I just fixed their recruiting.
Yes because staying up all night means you have the physical stamina the army needs right? It's funny because they're targeting millennials but not accounting for the fact that millennials don't want to fight stupid wars for stupid people, not to mention they can earn more money for less work these days.
Its a pigs life in this man's army!
I'm gonna be honest with you fam, that's weirdly specific.
When you were partying on the weekends, I was in Zanzibar getting frags When you were going on roadtrips with your besties, I was deciding where to drop on the map with my squad. When you were taking pictures of your food for likes, I was making chicken tenders for my guild to prepare for a raid. While you were at the school dance with Chad, I was setting high scores in DDR with Xiao Now that your society is about to collapse, you want our help to protect the very thing you rejected us from? Don't make me laugh.
I dunno why the UK government is so hell-bent on outsourcing everything. When I was a Civil Servant for DWP in the UK I didn't have my credentials set up properly and my pass card had someone else's ID associated with it so I couldn't really access anything I needed to do my job for a solid month and they also cocked up my payroll meaning I wasn't paid for 2 months and had to apply to the Civil Servant's Charity to loan some money to pay my rent. All this happened because setting up all that had been handed off to a private company who obviously didn't know what they were doing. From what I understand this was actually a semi-regular occurance.
once again us oppressed gentleman gamers are insulted by society
Tories can't reach sexual climax without privatising something.
Maybe if we had a government that wasn't an international shitshow more people would sign up for the chance to fight for it.
You're insulting yourself if you play video games all day
This will be the new official uniform for the British Army. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/211148/2cb41ebf-1924-4071-9ff0-cc14bf294236/ra,unisex_tshirt,x2200,101010_01c5ca27c6,front-c,392,146,750,1000-bg,f8f8f8.jpg
I heard being in the army was just like fortnite I'm thinking of joining
Lets put it this way since you dont seem to understand; Gamers, through riggerous amount of training have developed more stanima than the average male (AKA your boyfriend). That means prolonged ejaculation and harder erections. Last longer in bed = more powerful orgasms for the both of us and possibly even female ejaculation. Dont believe me? You'll never know if you don't try ;)
