Game-filled Trailer For The Boy's Book of Positive Quotations

Fairview Press and author Steve Deger recognize that the rambunctious, video game-obsessed boys of today pay little mind to their parents, but maybe they'll accept guidance from a ninja? (On a side note, since when were ninjas blonde, other than Michael Dudikoff and Snake Eyes?)

Positioned as an ideal gift for that brat in your life, The Boy's Book of Positive Quotations is part graphic novel, part quote anthology with "more than 1,000 ninja tips and tricks from the real-life heroes boys know and respect," with advice from rock stars, BMX'ers, surfers, skateboarders, tech gurus, graphic novelists, and ultimate fighters.

The reason I wanted to post about this book, though, is that two-second snippet of a made up fighting game in the above trailer, 15 seconds in.. I would totally play that game!
