Commercial Break: Possibly The Best Trailer For The Best Video Game Ever!

Finally, a trailer that has surpassed the immutable Executive Vice President Cat trailer. I'm glad to live in a world that you can play a game in Japan that has a table throwing peripheral. Hokkaido feel my wrath! Think about it, you too can be living the dream of throwing a table at a cafe, fancy restaurant, farmer's market, executive office, a doctor's office, Steven Siegal's house, and many more. Live the dream baby...live the damn dream.

Quantum Theory is a game I’d liken to a comedian bombing on a Tuesday night. There were plenty of warnings prior to me playing Quantum Theory as to what kind of bland hell I’d nominated my week to. The trailers shown at trade shows were a sad joke muttered on plenty of game industry podcasts.

But hey, at least a great drinking game came from it.
