have a meeting with the guys from on friday and talked through their game creation & seeding service, interesting stuff. Chris just sent me this youtube video of a game they created recently. It’s a real time multi-player first person shooter, made in flash. Which is quite clever. Turn your sound off, unless you’re into headaches.
Can’t put it better than the guys over at creative review:
“To see how good night vision technology has become three plucky British journalists drove up the infamous 60-hairpin Stelvio Pass in the Italian Alps in a night vision-equipped Mercedes E-Class at midnight, and then taped up the exterior lights to see if the night vision system alone might be enough to navigate by.”
which suggests that social media could be the main factor contributing to the 35% uplift in ratings this year.

I like this – visual representation of what TRILLION dollars looks like. A trillion looks like this numerically: 1,000,000,000,000. Kind of impressive, but not as impressive as a picture. It’s all about the visuals!
