Video games get loads of tat connected to them to bump that backside line—boring t-shirts, $45 posters for unreleased video games, the works. Typically you will get diamonds within the tough that genuinely offer you one thing cool, however there is a secret third possibility between tat and real novelty: Unusual issues executed with such excellent advertising fiat that you’ve got 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 lately on Twitter, going viral to the tune of 69,000 likes.
Truthfully, whereas $80 is slightly dear for some wine—you do additionally get a pleasant glass, and the novelty of understanding that each bottles had been aged by listening to the sport’s beautiful soundtrack on loop. They’re even themed, too, with totally 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 take heed 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 varieties you meet at Pascal’s Village with a treasured tuxedo on, presenting the bottles in a elaborate restaurant someplace. You do not have to, however it will make me comfortable.
This beautifully-blooming, rufescent purple entitled 2B has been given the understanding that every one issues will rot by being made to take heed to The Sound of the Finish, Rebirth & Hope, Crumbling Traces (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 ensure 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 might lower me in half with an enormous sword.
Truthfully, the concept behind this stuff is simply the correct amount of silly to be price doing. Sure, it is some less-than-value wine, and we simply must take Onkyo Direct’s phrase that they had been really aged to music, however the joke is so humorous that I am going to decide on to consider it anyway. Moreover, 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.
