The New Year is almost upon us, so the Operation Rainfall Retro Commercial Research Team (in other words, me) will be doing something a little different this week. Normally, this segment is dedicated to commercials from the distant-ish past that are fairly cheesy and/or enjoyable. You know, the commercials that didn’t take themselves so seriously all the time. However, since it’s almost 2014, I figured I’d comb through the various gaming commercials from this past year and showcase some that still embody that spirit from long ago. Without further adieu, here are some of my favorite commercials from this past year in this week’s Special Wrap-Up.
Here are the highlights from this past week.
