Okay. Am I the only person to find this advert for Timeshift rather peculiar?

Thanks, Game Trailers. Thanks.

They've chosen to make an advert for a videogame mostly in live action. Sure there's some CGI in there but... whatwhat? Exactly how can that be said to advertise a videogame in any way? Isn't it just a little creepy? Perhaps it's not an advert at all, and they've accidentally broadcast an ultra-violent power-rangers fan movie.

In other news: we're actually looking forward to Timeshift. Y'know: the game. We should have some more news on it soonish. (Probably - I mean it's a safe bet, but not certain.)
