Continuing the trolling

HI Alok,

We looked through the list of websites you showed us, and while most of them do look impressively generic, a few of them still had some striking qualities. Particularly http://matrixjobs.in/  which has a lighthouse (?) in the upper right corner. This is something that might get written about on a social media site, and we do not want that to happen.
You see, we use a revolutionary “Blending Strategy” mixed with a competitive use of twitter bot retweets and youtube comments. Since most of our merchandise is defective, we have decided that it is better to “blend” into the background and not have anyone talk about us. In fact, we don’t even want people to be able to remember which website they bought the defective merchandise from. 
Our last web designer (who we unfortunately had to let go due to extreme bowel problems) could never quite make our site generic enough. We keep seeing articles about us and worse. If we are to work with you we need you to pinky promise that our site will be 100% generic like you claim.
Thank you for your time,
Chris Weed

Romney makes it rain snack chips.

Cool, they installed a snack-dispensing mode.

When Romney ascends to Mormon heaven and takes control of his own planet you will eat those words (along with his delicious snacks).

If you’re interested in color theory, or you like beautifully-designed little games, or you just feel like being bad at something today (OH MY GOD SLOW DOWN TOO MANY COLORS), try this.

So this thing. I feel like, had I been forced to play it for 10 minutes a day in elementary school, I would have an infinitely stronger understanding of how colors relate. At least, to whatever degree that’s a learned skill. I think what I’m trying to say is that I sucked at arts and crafts and hated it and would have rather been playing computer games.

Kill Screen: USC film students use immersive card game to drive collaborative creativity.

Typically, first year film students get the shaft, not touching a camera until their sophomore or junior years. However, University of Southern California freshmen got an early taste of collaborative filmmaking this fall when their School of Cinematic Arts introduced Reality, a…

I spoke on a panel with Jeff at Indiecade last year. He’s awesome, and this attempt at using games to educate is inspirational.

A cartographer combines mapmaking, solitaire, and Civilization.

killscreendaily:

Using a deck of cards and city planning skills similar to those used in Sim City, Jerry Gretzinger has been plotting out a map of an imaginary world, which has taken on a life of its own. The result is an endless, procedurally dynamic work of art that could be called a solitary game of Civilization.

Game over a little early? Zynga's IPO day closed BELOW the offering price, which almost never happens with high-profile IPOs.

shortformblog:

In other words, investors who bought early lost money. Are these companies — Groupon and LinkedIn among them — jumping towards the IPO bandwagon too quickly? Is now a bad time?

This pleases me. Zynga makes terrible things

Google has really disappointed me tonight.

I had to read down to the 6th result for “those spiky things on top of castles” to find the answer, “parapets.” Psh. World class search engine my ass.
