As a big fan of minesweeper and having lost hundreds if not thousands of hours on this game, I was extremely amused by this video: Minesweeper The Movie posted on the Microsoft distribution lists. It’s a CollegeHumor Original and it’s a trailer of what Minesweeper would be if it was made into a movie. The little red flags, the in-game strategies, the fact the 1st one is never a mine, all played into the trailer really nice.
My favorite 2 scenes were:
Instructor: Why are you really here?
Student: I want to make this land safe.
Instructor: Why are you here, soldier?
Student: I’m here because I’m bored.
Instructor: Don’t you ever forget that.
Instructor: That clock is going to keep ticking until it reaches 999.
Student: What happens then?
Instructor: Nothing. You just suck.
