Distract the children this Cyber Monday with Shadowrun’s outdated live-action promo

Much as wee Christmaseers watch The Snowman as an alternative of Bad Santa, and diddy Star Warries watch Star Wars: The Clone Wars as an alternative of The Star Wars Christmas Special, minuscule cyberpunks have one thing quick and vibrant to go well with their consideration spans as we celebrate Cyber Monday. FASA, the corporate behind Shadowrun (greatest identified on PC for the crowdfunded Shadowrun Returns and Shadowrun: Hong Kong) made a live-action quick movie to advertise the cyberpunk fantasy tabletop RPG. The four-minute vid has every thing a baby desires on Cyber Monday: colors; costumes; CGI sequences set inside a pc; and no troublesome plot to observe. That’ll get the kiddywinkles out our vertical hair for a couple of minutes.

(Ta to “FlenceburgExile” to importing A Night’s Work to the datanet.)

I’m reminded of that each few years and: superb.

Some folks grump that cyberpunk is an ethos, not an aesthetic. To that I say: okay, sure, I agree, however I can agree whereas nonetheless having fun with goofy cyberpunk #aesthetic stuff for itself. I nonetheless suppose Deus Ex: Mankind Divided should have used Tomorrow People. Billy Idol wuz robbed.

It’d be extra of a stretch to attach this outdated Sega Mega Drive industrial (that includes Spudgun off Bottom) to a PC games web site however, like, Sonic and all that are actually legally on PC too? Yeah, that’ll do. Gimme the Cyber Razor Cut.

You ought to set that one to loop as a result of cyberlord is aware of the children will need to see it again and again and over.
