I studied this in school and found that some things burn images into a part of our minds that control subconcious thoughts, e.g. you see an advert for toilet roll and next time you go to the shopping centre you walk up the isle and have a look. That is the subconcious.
I was wondering if some games have the same effect. e.g. Zelda, you see a fairy follow you around all day and night, helping you through thick and thin, you then watch a film and remeber Zelda! you read a book with fairies in it and it's an instant thought!
This could be used against us, as I said before, i adverts for some games. e.g. the new T.W.I.N.E. advert, where some inexperienced goof is playing around with a James Bond watch, he pulls the girls skirt off and launches a net onto some guy, well next time you see a good looking girl with a ridiculously short skirt you'll think of the advert. When you catch a fish in a net, you'll think of the advert.
You won't realise your thinking about it, but it's emphasised in your mind.

Watch out.

Ithought the advert was crap aswell, it would have been better if that stupid duck (duck head) hadn't talked at the end.

Basically, they took the "next dimension", an oversaid statement which applys to something different to our world.

And then they looked in the dictionary for different words.

So for an effective advert for a game, they should represent the game with everything you do everyday, so you get out of bed {think of the game} eat breakfast {think of the game} spend money {think of the game} go to the toile..er no.

Oh well, one day we might see a return to decent game adverts, that PS2 one is just plain weird:

Sony want to be behind Sega and Nintendo (Playstation 2 - the third place - what? 3rd placed console?)

subliminal messaging. hmmm, I believe you are on to something, such as the way I always feel like a 50 foot dinosaur whilst tucking into a pack of those tasty chewit beauties....oh yeah, i have a thing for chewits. (not 50 foot green dude monsters.)

(The next time I see a girl in a short skirt, I PROMISE you that won't be the first thing I think.)


You disgust me. You really do.
