    NBA stars are pretty popular overseas so I can understand Dwyane. A lot of NBA players have various deals with China.

    Adam Lambert is.. idk. That makeup.
    Rift Scene - Still the best Rift fansite.

    Wait, wait, wait. Did they add tentacles to Cruicia for the China promos?

    Am I imagining this?

    maggie Q was awesome in live free or die hard but no idea who the other 2 are.. like literally never heard those names ... also trion prolly grabbed the first "celebrities" they could to endorse their product ( i doubt any actual celebrities would endorse this game or any other)

    I saw these earlier and was laughing pretty hard.

    My understanding is they're doing it to give the game more "Western cred". They want to emphasize how cool and Western the game is, so they're hiring random Western celebrities to hock it in awkward commercials where they stare above the camera to read their lines.

    I can only imagine that this must be appealing to potential Chinese players, because I'm confused by them.

    Pretty sure it's being handled entirely by the Chinese publisher, not Trion.

    Adam Lambert did not win American Idol. He was a runner up. The reason for him losing was, supposedly because he was gay (at the time no real confirmation of the voting) so the votes were all screwed up. Adam Lambert has an actual voice and I believe he is one of the more talented contestants/runner-ups to come off of that show.

    Ozzy Osbourne promotes WoW. Verne Troyer does as well as William Shatner. Whats the difference? Oh wait, there isn't. It's a commercial.

    I will never understand Asian culture, but some part of me is glad that the world is diverse. These commercials make no sense to me, but I'm sure they make perfect sense to the target audience.

    Well, looking at Adam Lambert and Maggie Q, It would appear they got people of Chinese (or just Asian) descent to do the advertisements. Not entirely sure about Dwayne Wade.

    As a Chinese,these three popularity ranking is Wade,Maggie Q and Adam to Chinese younger gamers. NBA and US drama are more and more popular in China(mainland)right now.
