Orange Box Plaid

Post by **durkada** » Thu Oct 11, 2007 2:16 am

Maybe some fan of the game can illuminate this topic.

Last night, watching a little Dave Chappel on the mythbox, realtime, I had paused and started to skip through the commercials. Caught a frame of something weird looking -- it was an advertisement for Orange box. So I rewound, and watched it. A very impressive spot, certainly, but what struck me as most impressive was the music. It sounds like Plaid -- and me likes. Can someone tell me if this is their work, or someone else. If not Plaid, then who?

I've exported the commercial from myth to a 4MB xvid, and have upped it to one of those web based file shares. http://7a093df99d.dr.ag/

If that link fails, please let me know, and I'll host it from my home web server.

Thanks,
durkadurka

never heard of plaid, I like the sound of the track in that commercial though... I'm gonna go check out this "Plaid" right now.

thanks...

oh and here, I put the video on my Premium Photobucket account... that way people can stream it instead of dealing with those free file hosters and their stupid ads and other nonsense.

Thanks for hosting the file in a manner less annoying and readily accessible. I was tempted to do it via my home webserver, but feared for bandwidth.

However, I attempted to PM you with some links off that self-same server. Some Plaid music, some Plaid video -- but whenever I attempt to preview or send it, I come up with a blank racketboy page. I know not why, as no error message is given. I can send private messages to myself, with no problem -- perhaps you mailbox is full?

At any rate, not knowing if you have a racketboy email box, I sent the same message to [email protected].

if I created a racketboy email account, I've forgotten doing it

and my pm folder is only 40% full... so that shouldn't be an issue.

I have located some of their stuff though. On youtube, I also located a **cough**torrent**cough** and got the 'spokes' album. I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

Its not like they hide this shit.

And anyways the ad is amazing. Beats the annoying Halo ads that dont even show the game.

It explains your consistent grouchiness.

that's the 3rd time I heard I'm grouchy today. And it's only 9AM... what the hell?

It's so bad our friend Nate, who is 3 times the size of me, says he won't come over here anymore in fear he might get yelled at... do I yell?
