Fun fact, when I was like... 12, I made a presentation to my parents based off the Demo of this game as to why they should buy it. I sold them on it when one slide was just a photo of a single perfectly rendered missile being fired, traveling across space.
- MrLeap 2y agoAdorably nerdy. Was it a powerpoint on the livingroom TV?
- moritonal 2y agoOkay, I actually found the presentation, if you want a laugh (/ be impressed at game that's >20 years old), here you go https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vR18QhznFBRKoFqsNQn83eFEow5NFUh7WcA7PPyvGkd78dcqp-hLMF47lzZpMPKmn7fjmB9Q59RZEsC/pub?start=true&loop=true&delayms=3000 https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vR18QhznFBRK....
- SquareWheel 2y agoThis is absolutely adorable. Thank you for sharing!
- tryfinally 2y agoThanks, this made my day! No wonder your pitch was a success.
- bombcar 2y agoDon’t tell my kids (hi kids, if you’re reading this!) but the first thing they ask for with a freaking presentation they’re probably getting.
- sevg 2y agoThis is so great! You even had call to action links on your “where to buy?” slide. I enjoyed the “Special thanks to dad for paying the electricity bill and Internet bill for this project” XD
- bot403 2y agoThanks for sharing this amazing bit. I love the "our team has found out..." At the end. Like....who is the 12 year olds team?
- airstrike 2y agoTom, Tom, Tom and Tom. It's right there in the credits!
- pipes 2y agoGreat pitch! I now want to play homeworld 2! It was only a tenner in Tesco? Why so cheap?
- zipy124 2y agoThis is bloody brilliant!
- pbohun 2y agoHahaha amazing! This is better than the some of the presentations our junior hires do at work.
- brulard 2y ago2 weeks later, a presentation why you need a new hardware to run your Homeworld 2 smoothly on.
- klik99 2y agoAs someone who love the homeworld games as a kid, I can totally understand the type of kid who likes those games is absolutely the type that would make a presentation like this. The conclusion is fantastic, 12yo you had a great sense of humor!
- otikik 2y agoDude, I'll buy you a copy right now
- smcl 2y agoThis is actually amazing, thanks for finding this and sharing it!
- robertlagrant 2y agoGreat presentation. I like that both buy links actually link to Tesco. The illusion of choice!
- aredox 2y agoPlease tell me that next you've written an Excel file with macros etc. to explain why you should be allowed to play EvE Online at 3 in the morning?
- moritonal 2y agoI guess I'm that predictable. Here I was in 2014 running what I now believe would be called a price fix on Eve (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10154142396180554&set=a.10150622142490554 https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10154142396180554&set=a...).
