Hoax? That's what they all say, however, in this case you're probably right...
Still, bit extreme, maybe offensive to some (such as you, and a lesser extent myself). Certainly splits opinion anyway, regardless of its motif!

I just hope Silent Hill is not as boring as this video because I may still want to play one of them

Eh you got me all wrong, I don't get offended, but I am brutally honest when I dislike something. It works in reverse too when I like something. I just found the video of low quality and people actually supporting it kinda seems dumb to me... especially now that looking into it it's obviously a joke, there's many higher quality projects out there getting ignored, I find that just wrong.
Kinda goes back to my views on video games as art, people ignore the artistic for the high budget hyped games, it seems to be a joke to me when people ignore those games, sing the praises of a hyped game that doesn't even live up to last gen standards, and then they want people to take the game industry seriously.

This dude needs to make my band's music videos when the time comes. That was AWESOME.

I didn't think it was so much a crack at motion controls or the Wii specifically, but the deeper context is how the creator (Miyamoto)forgot his true love. He was so entralled with casual games like Wii Sports, that Mario is left forgotten and neglected.
In the scene where Mario is stuck in the pipe, its an expression of them trying to reinvent mario, or perhaps milking the character, thus sapping his life away slowly, or perhaps its a shot at them altering the visual style of mario too many times.
If anything, I think its a message to say don't forget your roots and where you come from, and to never neglect the things you love in life.

Ah OK. Your post can be interpreted in many ways 
At the very least, it was fully fleshed out, as opposed to saying "X is rubbish!" or "Y should be on the X!" or "Z is overtracked!" etc. :/

You still haven't understood that it's the art style, the visuals and the animation that makes some scenes so freaky.
I can understand you not liking it but quite frankly it's just comes out as if you hate on something because it's popular.
I find this video to be very artsy in many ways and very well-made regardless of it's meaning.

lulz this video isn't popular though 100k views on You Tube is a joke and it got those because of sites like Destructoid posting it.
When something is posted from a mock account it's not meant to be art, it's like that episode of South Park "The Poop that took a Pee" people try to read into things and see art where there is none, it's like Jesus on your toast or in your coffee mug, it lacks meaning and intention or any creative purpose.

"Nope, this story doesn't reflect any of my views. It's more that I love the reaction to wii/motion controller games from the 'hardcore' gamers on various gaming forums I use who appear to get worked up by the idea that this is destroying 'traditional' gaming."
