I honestly expected the hero to miss the keyhole at least once.

Do you think they ran out of budget for half the opening?

So they use the accurate portrayal of a jar in the beginning of the opening (The original translation was actually "Jar," not "Box), then they go ahead and switch to a box that looks straight up stolen from the one in God of War? Poor form.

So many great references in this video. Though when the 7A popped up, I was expecting a Canadian, "7, eh?" joke (though I heartily endorse Battleship jokes).

I would totally commission a painting of myself looking slyly at something out of frame if I could afford to. Seems like a worthwhile investment.
Just call me Dylan. It's easier to pronounce.

Okay, so would it be opening Pandora's Box to ask WHAT THE FUCK THE PREMISE OF THE GAME IS? Seriously, from that cutscene, all we know is that the box is evil and some dude tries to steal it and his hand gets impaled. How does that reveal ANYTHING about the gameplay at all?

Clearly this is a bad game.

What do you mean? It's quite clearly a classic first-person hand-in-front-of-face shooter.

This week I particularly liked the lead-up to the opening of the box; much hilarity was to be had.
