Title: Cheese + BG&E
Description: I saw an ad in the store...

I know this may sound weird, but it deals with Beyond Good and Evil. I was in the grocery store with my Dad, getting stuff and we went to the Dairy section. On a specific package of cheese, there was an ad and it had Jade on it. I obviously recognized the game's cover and that if you buy this kind of cheese, the PC version of the game comes with it.
I couldn't find a picture of the ad when I searched on Google. :rolleyes: But yeah, more exposure of BG&E to people! ^_^
"FREE PC Video Game when you buy Special Marked Packages of Saputo Cheese Heads Snacks!"
...
Though, the thing was that none of the cheese with BG&E in it was in stock... There was some other game starring a little mouse instead... Oh well!

Well, if there were no BGE cheeses left, at least it means people are playing it, right?
Though it does seem at little weird. I've never seen cheese, of all things, offering free PC games. Maybe I should go to my supermarket more often...

Wow, and here I thought the greatest game to come out of a box of food was Chex Quest.

Many moons ago, I remember Cap'n Crunch giving away this free virtual pet game... thing for the computer in all the boxes of cereal. I played the living daylights out of that silly game...
Still, I officially label this the WTF-iest thing I've heard in a long time. I'm not sure what cheese has to do with video games at all... Though it does make me giggle.

If it's called "Starkos" and looks a bit like the food in the game, why not? ^_^
BG&E Voyager - February 14, 2009 11:44 PM (GMT)
:huh:
That's both very exciting and very odd...what's next, free BG&E game with your purchase of milk, since Moe is in the game? :D
:huh:

let me catch my breath. I lol'd too hard, and the neighbors are looking in to see what's wrong.
We need photographic proof, Jagori. Nao.
Also, I propose the nest big thing: Free BG&E with a dozen-pack of plums! It'll be a hit!

My guess it's just a new marketing move.
The_Evil_Reaper - February 15, 2009 08:45 PM (GMT)
Cheese is good. Beyond Good & Evil is good. I like it! :D
virumor - February 16, 2009 08:16 PM (GMT)
It wasn't 6 year old cheese, was it? ;)
G.A.Pster - February 17, 2009 01:52 AM (GMT)
Wow that's cool.
If you find another one I will buy it from you.

I went today and they still have some. If anyone wants one, let me know and I'll try to pick one up before they're gone. I just ask that you cover the cost ($6 CAN, now that they're not on sale) plus shipping. I won't send the cheese, though, unless you really want to risk a bunch of moldy cheese in with the game! :D
Denouement - February 18, 2009 04:50 AM (GMT)
I just want a scan of the packaging (I presume you won't charge for that? :P).
Now, brb. This topic has made me crave cheese and I have to go buy some.

Wait...
PC DVD-ROM? And here I have to suffer with mere CD-roms.
Gee, thanks Ubi America.
Denouement - February 18, 2009 08:34 PM (GMT)
Awww. This looks like an exclusively Canadian dealie. Fooey.
Now I'm seriously confused by what kind of cheese that is, though. I assumed string cheese, but... Now I'm not sure. O.o

Don't worry, we got CDs in Poland, too. So it's not only America :P

Hey guys,
I sent this piece of news over to the best videogame site in the world (GiantBomb!) and they posted it!
I gave credits to where I got it, but they only posted my name. Sorry that if you would've minded me stealing your pictures.
Sweet to get the exposure though!

Ahh, nice job :welldone: Hopefully that cheese is good :D
Denouement - February 20, 2009 12:55 AM (GMT)
I also made a post about it in the
BG&E LiveJournal community (with a
terrible punny title), but
I managed to credit the pic-takers, unlike those silly bloggers. :P
BG&E Voyager - February 20, 2009 01:19 AM (GMT)
I've been making some puns too, how can you resist :P

WHAT DVD!??!?! I think I have the CD Version too....
virumor - February 20, 2009 09:42 AM (GMT)
I have a 4 CD version and some of them stubbornly refuse to install. :sinister:
Denouement - February 20, 2009 06:15 PM (GMT)
The story's shown up on Destructoid and Kotaku now too.
Your scans are making Internet rounds! :P
Ugly Duck - February 20, 2009 06:22 PM (GMT)
@Denounment
You can tell this because I turned up at the same time.
This is mental. I really don't know where to begin. Just... argh. Brain hurt.

Giantbomb.com just released this weeks podcast, I haven't listened to it yet. But the description tells us they'll be discussing the BGE/Cheese incident.

This week's Bombcast is citrus fresh with the unbridled insanity of Noby Noby Boy, 50 Cent's gangsterous return to video games, the relationship between Ubisoft, Canada, and cheese, NSFW Flash games, an exciting new Giant Bomb contest, and more! |
