That was terrible, hilarious, atrocious, entertaining, painful, awesome, and a travesty all at the same time.

I died laughing :O

The green guy = Nvidia ... and the blue dude = Intel lol. Did AMD help subsidize some of the costs for this production?

So apparently, one day someone brought weed brownies to the lunch room of XFX's marketing department, and this must have been the result...o_O

Apparently many people here on VC&G have no sense of humor. FYI, I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be fun and ridiculous.

I like how they maintained the red ranger being a total douche, just like the original Power Rangers. Haha.

Good job XFX, if I had seen this video before I read MrK6's thread I may have bought a DDBE card.

Ive never watched powerrangers but was the blue ranger immune to "Stereo 3d attacks" in the series?

In the original US-Power Rangers, Billy, was the "nerd/geek" of the crew and I recall joking around with my friends that he was indeed gay.

Now, to ask a shrink - why do I remember this crap? Haha.

EDIT: Reading a tad from the actor's Wiki page, I can only infer that he was actually gay.

He was often called a "f****" and the producers would ask the other actors questions about Yost's sexuality.[3][4] Scott Page-Pagter, a long time producer of the show, responded to these remarks saying that Yost did not leave the show for this reason and issued a statement, "[Yost] and two of the other actors were all getting a bonus on top of their salary. When the other two left the show, production wanted to stop giving him the bonus, and that’s ultimately what led to his departure from the show." Pagter denied the allegations of homophobia, saying, "I don’t know why he’s saying this, but he was the only one no one got along with...he was a pain in the ass."[5]

After Yost left Power Rangers, he tried to get rid of his homosexuality with "conversion therapy" for two years, but this failed. Eventually Yost had a nervous breakdown which resulted in his psychiatric hospitalization for five weeks. After Yost checked out, he moved to Mexico for a year and eventually accepted his sexuality.[4]

Note: I edit the bad word, you can imagine what it is.

I get that the green villain represents Nvidia, but I'm not aware of any other big players in the GPU market that would be competitors to AMD, so what company did the blue villain represent?

I looked at is as target marketing. Many of the younger gamers may have been devoted power ranger fans during there earlier years. My son is 20 now and when he was around 4 or so it was all about power rangers. Many a day I ran from store to store looking for the newest and latest power ranger items! That said the show was pretty damn silly to me.

The clip was pretty funny tho....Go-go pink ranger :p
