First impression:
First kibitz: Wait, Two ISDs and an Interdictor cruiser to take on ONE Nebulon B frigate, a single corvette and assorted transports and escorts? I'm pretty sure TieFighter.exe made me run that exact mission with 4 otherwise unsupported gunboats. There must be a high value target on that Nebulon B.
Second Kibitz: Ooh, I really like they got the cockpit looks and sounds accurate to how they looked in the Tie Fighter game.
Third Kibitz - Ok, guess the HVT was on the transport they disabled with ion cannons rather than the Nebulon B they blew up.
Fourth Kibitz - heh, I like that they were able to throw in a Macross Missile Massacre/Itano Circus shot.

They didn't even go capture the transport, just left it drifting.
Yes, and I keep trying to watch it at work, but people keep interrupting me, so even though I heard of it 4 hours ago, I still haven't managed to watch all 7+ minutes of it.
Like Gas says, typing looks like work, starting at your screen...not so much.

Intentionally evokes the game. Here's more making-of info:

It also gave me a bit of a Dungeon Keeper vibe. Must be the combination of the music and the playing the bad guys.
Belgian commercial channels Vier and Vijf (Four and Fine, respectively - they aren't all that ingenious when it comes to names I guess) won a bunch of awards for commercials they did. All can be viewed over at http://www.vier.be/artikels/vier-en-vijf-triomferen-berlijn/687149 ; two are subtitled in English, one is in English anyway, the only one that isn't is subtitled in Dutch. It pretty much says

"The next movie is suitable for 12 years and up" - "I'm not old enough to watch this movie, but according to my parents I'm old enough to get married. Next week, I won't be sleeping with a teddy bear, I'll be sleeping with an adult man. Stop child marriage - become a plan parent today".

I'm pretty sure the woman who "passed out" was a plant. But yeah, they don't do this stuff in the US because of our hyperlitigiousness, and Dead Island's taught me the best thing to do to a zombie on the ground is stomp on its head until it caves in.

Met him. Great guy. He had NO IDEA this story was going to be as big as it is. In fact, if he DOESN'T do it during his act people get pissed.
This also has me listening to a lot more of this guy... my playlist has a whole lot of french in it now.
I first heard this version of that song:
It's like the modern-day equivalent of Cat's in the Cradle.

He lives about 2 blocks away from me.
I hadn't realized he was Belgian. All French sounds alike to me.He lives about 2 blocks away from me.
Yes, there are some differences. Most are fairly minor as far as general "Belgian"/"French" differences go, there's a lot of internal dialect differences as well.
Probably most notably, the French use sixty-ten (soixante-dix) for seventy and eighty-ten (quatre-vingt-dix) for ninety, while Belgians use separate words (septante and nonante, respectively). The Swiss go one further and use a separate word for "eighty" as well (octante instead of quatre-vingt, which translates as "four-times-twenty").
