Video games get plenty of tat hooked up to them to bump that backside line—boring t-shirts, $45 posters for unreleased video games, the works. Generally you may get diamonds within the tough that genuinely offer you one thing cool, however there is a secret third choice between tat and real novelty: Atypical issues executed with such excellent advertising and marketing fiat that you have simply gotta throw your arms up and say shoot, you bought me.
Such is the case with these two bottles of probably-okay wine—introduced again in February (thanks, SiliconEra) the thrill round these finely-aged draughts of existential dread solely kicked up just lately on Twitter, going viral to the tune of 69,000 likes.
Truthfully, whereas $80 is somewhat expensive for some wine—you do additionally get a pleasant glass, and the novelty of figuring out that each bottles have been aged by listening to the sport’s attractive soundtrack on loop. They’re even themed, too, with completely different cardinal drinks for 2B and 9S, who in fact had bespoke picks of music scientifically infused into their molecular construction, as a result of we’re already forcing wine to hearken to sport OSTs. You’ve got gotta decide to the bit.
I’d now invite you to think about me as one of many little machine life kinds you meet at Pascal’s Village with a valuable tuxedo on, presenting the bottles in a elaborate restaurant someplace. You do not have to, however it might make me glad.
This beautifully-blooming, rufescent pink entitled 2B has been given the understanding that each one issues will rot by being made to hearken to The Sound of the Finish, Rebirth & Hope, Crumbling Strains (Ver1.1a), Woman’s Reminiscences, and lest we overlook, Weight of the World/English Model (Ver1.1a).
If that is to not your style, its twinned and delectable cherry sibling has been infused with a blind hatred for machines like myself with an audio tub of the songs Widespread Illness, Metropolis Ruins—Rays of Mild, Faltering Prayer—Daybreak Breeze, Copied Metropolis (Ver1.1a) and, to verify the notes of malaise pair with the 2B, Weight of the World/English Model (Ver1.1a) additionally. If neither beverage is to your liking, you could reduce me in half with an enormous sword.
Truthfully, the concept behind these items is simply the correct quantity of silly to be value doing. Sure, it is some less-than-value wine, and we simply should take Onkyo Direct’s phrase that they have been really aged to music, however the joke is so humorous that I am going to decide on to consider it anyway. In addition to, I want one thing to drink whereas questioning if we’ll really get one other Nier sport, or whether or not Yoko Taro’s simply pulling our leg once more.
