Bloodshot commercial scares us (in a good way)

It's really hard to come by interesting office stories. "So this one time, Bill-from-accounting and I were sitting in the break room, right?" See? It's already boring. But how about this one: "Hey, remember that time when all the filing cabinets started bleeding and we were attacked by demons with mouths full of metal?" Much more interesting. It would seem, then, that this Condemned 2: Bloodshot commercial was concocted for the sole purpose of proving that an office can be scary (and not in that dead end job, "I'll never make manager" kind of way). Indeed, the commercial is pretty frightening, but it begs the question: what other locations could use a spooky makeover? Our vote: the DMV.

Did anyone notice that video said "In stores March 13th." I thought it was out on the 11th. Did I miss something?

Yeah, there's a short version that's been on American TV for at least a week or so. GameTrailers just now put it up though.

I think I saw it on Comedy Central or Adult Swim.
