Crawl out of bed late to see Simon Parkin pointing this out before being very mean indeed to RPS, the bast. Anyway – The Deepening is basically the Beastie Boys’ old Sabotage video, but done as a mildly-NSFW choose your own adventure. It has one ending with basically the routine artist-comrade Jamie McKelvie and I do in front of other people at cons, which is always good to see. I quite like it. See what you think.

Oh my god, my brain went into it’s emergency shutdown sequence watching that windows 7 thing. I need to go lie down before I watch any of the other stuf.

Disregard the awful win7 video, the Deepening is awesome!

Windows 7 party = jaw-droppingly bad
Deepening = fantastic

That windows 7 video is awful. Love YouTube comments threads though:
“I wonder what time they all start sucking each other off.”

Too. many. primary. colours.

Haha, great!

You can practically hear the actors in that Windows 7 video pronouncing the ™s in the script every time they say a product or feature name.

So, which of the RPS crew was which in that Windows 7 party video?
The old woman was obviously John Walker.

i’m part black, so i guess he’s sorted.

Windows 7 Launch party! Wait, what?! *faints*
On another note, that interactive movie was pretty fun.

Yeah!
I killed everybody at my first try. What do I win?
23/09/2009 at 15:11 Hoernchen says:

make hilariously twisted videos. Easily one of the most underrated things on the interwebs. (Especially considering shit like Fred is the most popular channel on YouTube. Sigh. :’<)

The Deepening is hilarious. So is the Windows 7 party video. But each for entirely different reasons.

That Win 7 launch party infomercial was even more scary that the teletubbies mod for L4D.
23/09/2009 at 19:13 Shalrath says:
I do not understand this Windows 7 thing. I’m… confused. What the fuck is happening? Party with your.. windows… laptop…? Do they play Left4Dead or anything?
I … don’t get it.
23/09/2009 at 20:19 Rei Onryou says:
Is it wrong that I could easily imagine Kieron as Bokowski throughout The Deepening?
Win 7 people:
Geek = Meer
MILF = Kieron
Granny = Walker
Racial Minority = Rossignol (through process of elimination)
23/09/2009 at 20:30 Knight Of Cydonia says:
You had me at “MILF=Kieron”.
23/09/2009 at 21:03 TeeJay says:
You need to watch up until the end of the Win7 video where they discuss how to prevent guests discovering the folder containing all your porn videos

As my flatmate pointed out, perhaps this is an ingenious message-at-all-costs method of simply reminding people that Windows7 is out soon, one so bad and so fit for viral dissemination it simply cannot be ignored?
I still had to wipe sick from the side of my mouth after watching it, though.
