    SP youtube advertisments

    I know there was a thread somewhere on something like this... but I couldn't find it.

    Anyways... The jest of these advertisements are:
    "Skill is no longer needed to be victorious. Only ruthlessness and an ION"
    "Paintball is no longer honorable"
    "You only need some big oakley wraparounds... not a mask"

      Wow...

      Those are single-handedly the most retarded comercials I have ever seen...

      Next to the one for that 'Head On' garbage.

      Are they trying to say that SP is battling against dishonorable paintball? Pah-lease

            IDK tom, if you look at the actual animation and quality of the medium, it seems to me some big bucks were shelled out for this. Personally, I don't find SP guns (especially the ION) noteworthy of devoting ALOT of time towards this production for kudos. I mean, if your skilled enough to make something like this you must have some dollars in the bank, and if your just that inspired by SP... then why make a hype cartoon for the ION?

            On the same token... I can see several reasons why a major company wouldn't produce this and lay claim to it. However, they did host it on their youtube account.

              that's the ION... there are 2 or 3 scenes in part 2 where you canmake out the ION body shell and such. The gun even seems oversized compared to the shooter (or the shooter's a midget) in those scenes to put emphasis on the gun.

                  Guess them IP lawsuits and buyouts have drained the majority of their budget to fund that non(read as never)-existant R&D department, or any serious attempt at marketing consultation.

                    I wouldn't go so far as to say it's an ION...they did put quite an emphasis on the word "ephipany" though. Pay attention to when he hands him the gun at the end. Besides, the new Shockers look like IONs. I'm sure SP is banking off of the look of their flagship marker and just continuing to roll with what works.

                      Well it may be a SP effort but I find it really strange they used a "Warp Feed" style system. On top of that, they feed it in from the top which looks wierd. Then again, if you were going to spend the big bucks, why waist it on a product that has been out for a while instead of the "next great thing"? I would think SP would have has some idea on how miserably our comic book concept failed years ago, but then again you never know...

                            Prez,

                            come on - you know as well as I do that it makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE in the world whether somerthing comes out of your head or someone else's.

                            What's that tired old saying? "You can lead a paintball company to television, but you can't make it drink?" Or something like that...
