Ah, the time for Pepsi, Doritos, and Activision to team up again and market the new Call of Duty game. Like a yearly ritual, we’ll get those infamous “Double EXP” or “special rewards” vouchers for buying specially marked packs of whatever food or beverage. Activision is known to go all out in advertising their new CoD games, with some commercials features celebrities like Rob Riggle and Jonah Hill.

This time, the newest advertising campaign for the next AAA title, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, features the face of rapper Post Malone doing various things in a video titled “Feelin’ Like a Rockstar” with the #CODNATION hashtag.

The video is extremely weird and outlandish, but that’s expected. The ad is kind of dumb and cheap, but has a certain appeal but you just can’t stop watching.

The newest CoD will feature an all-new mode called Blackout, which is a battle royale mode we’ve talked about many times. the map is the largest map ever created in any Call of Duty game ever made and features different maps from its legacy.

The game will launch on PS4, Xbox One, and PC on October 12th.

Papa Johns and FFXV partner up for an awesome pizza deal

FFXV partners with Papa Johns for awesome pizza.

Papa Johns has teamed up with Final Fantasy XV.

That’s right. An American pizza chain has partnered with Square Enix’s flagship title and posted about it on Twitter. If you take a look at the linked ad, you’ll see Ignis saying “That’s It! I’ve come up with a new discount!” and there’s also a headline that says “Eat in it the game… then eat it in real life!” As crazy and whacky as this sounds, it’s pretty funny.

The promotion allows you get any pizza at regular menu price using the special code “PIZZAGG” at checkout. This is just a publicity stunt and will probably spread like crazy all over the ‘net. This will get them tons of exposure and publicity, just like what you’re reading now. It’ll work out in their favor. I can tell just by the craziness of this deal.

This partnership isn’t really anything beyond just slapping some FF characters on a Papa John’s ad. You can’t cook Papa John’s in FFXV nor can you go the other way around- however that works. Whether you approve of this or not, it’s working for the pizza chain by getting them tons of publicity. And that’s probably all they’re after.

Well done, Papa. Well done.
