but didn't you say you refused them since PS1 ?

also what makes these games nightmares compared to others ? i am just wondering.

LOL! there you go, this. @twesterm i don't think i want to be a tool just to be a zombie in a trailer no one will care about. What do you mean tool?  Do you mean extra?  I've seen some people villainize some pretty silly things but this is one of the sillier ones. Again, it's just a cool experience that a whole lot of people will really dig.  You get to be dressed up as a zombie by a professional and see how things like that get made. i just don't think its going to be a good experience for people who would get in, they're not celebrities or anything so they'll get the shortest straw, IE used as tools.

If they were being promised meeting celebrities and such or even a small expectation any celebrity would be there then it would be a bad deal, but none of that is true.  You're being used as free work but, one more time, you're getting a cool experience out of it, one most people will never get to experience.

There's no hiding anything in that advertisement, it's all right there without any funny language, and the contest is something completely optional with the only prize getting to do that.  If you don't want to be there 10 hours then don't enter.  You don't lose anything.  If you enter you know exactly what you're getting into since there's absolutely no deception there.

You're making this out to be something like yeah, FFIX is coming out on PSN but you have to pay for each disc or FFIX is coming out today but there's going to be something that keeps track of play statistics in the background that they aren't going to tell you about.

-edit-

The simplist way to say this: just because you're not interested in how things like that are made, doesn't mean it's a bad deal.

I think going to football training camp and watching players would be absolute torture but would a contest to win a pass to watch that be a contest nobody in their right mind should enter?  This should be something any person interested in movies or zombies or just want to see themslves on a trailer should think is cool.

The first experience I had with the Playstations were with Tekken 3 on the PS1. I was playing it with some friends, and I wasn't used to the controller and the button combinations at all so I got my ass kicked at it and found it really boring. The controller is good if you are used to gaming, but to me at the time, it was a complex mess. 

   Fast forward to the early PS2 days with games like Dragonball budokai, with all those dreadful button combinations I had no chance in hell against people who had memorized them, and I didn't want to spend time doing it, so again it was boring me to tears. Then I saw someone playing Devil May Cry. I found the artstyle to be too "serious" and then I saw that the game used those awfully boring button combinations in single player. I just don't get the fun of pressing a long sequence of buttons. I didn't like the style of True Crime: streets of LA. It felt too seroius and too much like a bad cop movie in style. Most games I saw on the playstations were "mature games".

   Since that style of games were all I saw on the playstations, before the internet, I simply concluded that that was the only style of games that they had, and I didn't like those kinds of games, so I ignored the consoles. I hope that explains it :)

ha ha ha ha ha ha! y'all fail fore it. he did that to get y'all to veiw the thread. funny. it doesn't bother me. i was in night of the living dead and the thriller video. the only thing is that i an get that dead smell out of my skin and my arm keeps falling off. HA Ha

You do know that thriller was made before you were born correct (assuming you aren't lying about being 24)?

LOL! It's not that bad of a deal since you're going to get a pretty cool experience out of it and will probably be a story you get to tell people for at least the next 10 years. It's not like you're waiting in line for 10 hours to get kicked in the nuts, you're experiencing some cool things for 10 hours that most people never get to see.

I once actually did wait in line for 10 hours to get kicked in the nuts.  But I got a bunch of free food, and a free video game.  They gave me Burnout Paradise, which I quickly traded for Mario Kart DS!

This compensation is actually probably cooler.  It's probably 2 hours of zombie make-up, 1 hour of paperwork, 5 hours of waiting around, and 1 or 2 hours of being a zombie.  But then you're a zombie forever.  I'd totally do it.

I have to say I totally agree with Twesterm :O Somethings you get paid by the experience - which far out way monetary gain. Also the other connections you make with group (gamers/Chicks) and behind the scenes... People should be jumping at this opportunity. Hell I would do it if I was in the US.

Thank you

As long as they arent the Thief I's ones, zombies are quite fine, except them, I hated never having enough holy water or fire arrows to kill them all! OTOH in Thief III I used them to kill mechanists in the Cathedral's foundry without killing personally humans (that would have made me fail the mission at top difficulty), then I destroyed them using the various furnaces without wasting even a single arrow. Just for the mere satisfaction, as despite in its predecessors, in Thief III arrows abound.
