Halo Golf - Halo Fore online viral Game

September 28, 2007

http://www.halofore.com
In the spirit of our award winning Paper Plane viral game - here it is, Halo Fore Golf.  Seeing as Halo 3 is the last in the series, we thought it would be quite amusing to have an official Halo 4 out so soon. Ooops I meant FORE! So you whack your mouse to get close to the hole. We have a bit of code that measures how close you are to the flag to an atomic level so it is unlikely that there will be two players with a #1 ranking. Go for top spot!

The cool thing is the first few thousand players will be donating money to a red or blue charity. Up to $1 depending on how close you can get to the hole.

PLEASE PASS THE LINK ABOVE ON! If not for us or Xbox, then do it for CHARITY!!! Thanks :)

Dumbest Criminal Ever.

This guy allegedly stole a laptop and then used it to upload a picture of himself and his easily identifiable tattoos to his Flickr account. Only it wasn’t HIS Flickr account, but the one belonging to the original owner of the laptop.

‘25 years ago, professor Scott E. Fahlman posted a message to an online electronic bulletin during a discussion about the limits of online humour and how to denote comments meant to be taken lightly.

“I propose the following character sequence for joke markers: :-),” wrote Fahlman. “Read it sideways.”‘

…and so it was born. If only he recieved royalties for every time it was used!

From the Vault - Dancing Granny Sleepmaker ad

September 19, 2007

Blast from the past the 2003 SleepMaker ad by Whybin TBWA Melbourne. Even though it’s only library footage this Granny Cheerleader shows she can move and gives us all a great laugh. Despite the minor problem that I can never quite remember whether the ad was for SleepMaster or SleepMaker it’s still one of my favourites.

Old guy stalked by Bom Chika Wah Wah girls at Bondi.

September 12, 2007

So we were down at Bondi with the Bom Chika Wah Wah girls. Anyone wearing Lynx was clearly going to be in a heap of trouble…


This man is still recovering in hospital poor fellow.


This lot were causing a lot of fuss. Especially Krystal from Big Brother (in the yellow).


And Nerds FC were spraying themselves with so much Lynx you couldn’t breath.

Photoshop online and free!

September 12, 2007

While it’s still a teaser at the moment, John Nack (senior product manager for Photoshop) has confirmed the development of Photoshop Express. It’s a free online photo editor that’s not meant to replace Adobe’s current offerings, but “make Adobe imaging technology immediately accessible to large numbers of people.” And from the screenshot here you can tell it’s not even a dumbed- down Photoshop, but an entirely new product:

Photoshop for free!

The announcement follows Adobe’s implementation of Premiere Express, their online video editor (press release here).

Next time your batteries let you down, just pee on them.

September 10, 2007

NoPoPo (Non-Pollution Power) Aqua Batteries are available in both AA and AAA form, although the company page shows they are producing the technology for all sizes of battery, and can only be currently purchased in Japan.

The batteries can be recharged with various different fluids using the new development which forms electric power using liquid as a catalyst.

Each time the battery is recharged it has a lower power level than the time before and the life cycle allows for about 3 to 5 recharges before disposing of the battery. Each battery can potentially keep its charge for up to 10 years which could be great for many life saving devices in remote locations.

Since the battery does not contain mercury and other harmful materials, it can be easily disposed of without worry for the environment.


Google Earth just got even better…

September 10, 2007

This hidden feature in Google Earth will make you able to fly your own routes through the world. A flight simulator is revealed when you press [CTRL] + [ALT] + A and will be in your features for the future once you unlocked it. You are now ready to explore the Google Earth in a new way… and to make a few hours go by. Pretty awesome.

Audi gone viral!

September 10, 2007

Starting with a ‘retina scan’ this site aims at profiling you to see how well suited you are to driving their newest model… and apparently I am a perfect match at 95%!

 Very engaging, easy to use and personalised, you can even get your test results sent to you.

“Audi has begun a nation-wide search for the rare group of drivers who were born to drive the remarkable new Audi S3.

Drivers who have a genetic pre-disposition towards high-end performance.

Drivers with an inherent compatibility with the finer things in life.

The Audi S3 is not for everyone.
