Sony and Comedy Central bring out Control Fr3aks
It looks like Comedy Central’s resident gamers are about to get a system shock of sorts, courtesy of Sony and the PlayStation 3. Comedy Central’s “Control Fr3aks,” a series of shorts about two gamers and their unconventional adventures, is already out on both the internet and televisions everywhere.
The shorts feature Dirk and Ryan, two twenty-something gamers who encounter the supernatural (including undead raccoons) as they work on their adventures while plugging Sony’s PlayStation 3 console. It also includes them wearing some rather freaky jerseys and playing their PS3 with reckless abandon.
The show already started airing on Comedy Central’s online Motherload service on February 13. Sixty-second television spots have also begun airing as of Wednesday night, during commercial breaks on “South Park.”
We’ve seen a couple of online episodes, and they seem like the type of thing gamers would like. At the very least, they’re definitely a lot more transparent in their associations than Zipatoni‘s All I want for Xmas is a PSP blog. If you’ve seen the show, let us know what you think, alright?
