Slog - Comments on Sea-Tac: ATTACK http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/08/seatac_attack The Penny Arcade Expo kicks off this afternoon, which means that Seattle's downtown convention center will soon be overrun by video game addicts from around the world. (Seriously, people are flying in from...Estonia? Maybe the guy eats frogs.) Question is, will today's arrivals gate at Sea-Tac will look anything like this new Nintendo commercial? Figures that Nintendo would choose the nearby airport for this ad; hell, have JJ Putz walk through for a cameo while you're at it. But it's an interesting scene illustrated here, at least in light of the three-day gamers' expo that begins at 2 p.m. today....

(It works because they know their original fanbase would suckle on the teet regardless...)

It's a strategy that seems to be rocketing Nintendo up in market shares- Even hipster journalists seem to be getting in on the action.

I spotted a bunch last night, already. They were in taxis, ogling the sexay ladies on Pike.
