I'M GOIN IN!!!!!

There are certain things in this universe which science cannot explain, some things which lies so far beyond the realm of reality that the only way to comprehend their meanings is to thoroughly study them any way we can. This commercial is not one of those things. But it is really funny. Okay, so we start off with this 80s haired 80s kid in a video store about to check out star wars. He finds the copy of Star Wars The Arcade Game for the Atari 2600 and gives a passing remark on how "it's great in the arcade." He plugs in the console and what we are presented with is Pathos city as we're teleported into the highly immersive Star Wars universe. We truly believe in this section that the kid is actually in Star Wars to the extent that we should be dodging tie fighters and fire balls right along with him. He's experiencing total euphoria in this brief test of the game, thus showing that Star Wars The Arcade Game for the Atari 2600 is the ultimate source of satisfaction. The Pathos really kicks in when the poor gamer decides to put his own life on the line when he's "GOIN IN!" We are concerned about what will happen to him. Will he make it out? Will he survive? Will he continue on to College to pursue bigger and greater things, marry a woman, start a family, and pass on his legacy and therefore leaving his imprint on the world? These are the questions which are immediately answered when he sadly explodes in a fireball. However, the goal of the commercial is to convince these hip 80s kids that this game has highly immersive gameplay. This goal is achieved when gamergirl is confirmed and the kid returns from the grave covered in ash presumably victorious in whatever mission he was undertaking. His reaction should be ours at this point,"SOME GAME!!!"
