EDIT: After doing some digging, this is a fan-made advertisement by Shy Smith. Updating the post title to reflect this information.

Ecstasy and daddy issues really makes me think of video games.
Is this the reason you are playing?
Yeah, I loved self-actualized Scottish alien eyes girl.
I remember PS2 launch. It felt like I had it for a couple years before games worth buying started coming out. My friend had Ridge Racer V, which he played for about a week before never touching it again. I remember we went back to playing PS1 games with PS2’s texture smoothing for a while. Often we just used it to play rented DVDs. Of course, later on it had some of the best games ever made.
The PS2 is one of those consoles that had fairly bizarre hardware architecture compared to say, a PC for example.
Developers took a few years to figure out the hardware and really learn how to take advantage of it. They didn't get much or any pre-release dev time, so they were learning how to use it while gamers were just getting their hands on it. Thus, the better titles came later in the consoles life.
Same deal with the PS3. Metal Gear Solid 4 was a masterpiece.
The Sega Saturn tv ads from the 90s were some of the oddest things I've seen on TV lol
Wouldn't have been surprised if it had been real. Game ads used to go hard back in those days
How about this weird?

I still love the Xbox 360 Jump In comercial
This one isn’t weird. It’s pretty obvious what they were going for.
