Will It Blend? | Presented By Blendtec


A great example of an online hype – Will it blend!?

I never watched these video’s, but it’s great – useless – timeconsuming content… 馃槈

I am wondering which blender he uses! And also which blender-brand dares to sponsor him – haha.

The History of In-Game Advertising | Gamer Limit

>
The History of In-Game Advertising | Gamer Limit

According to Steven Shepherd and Gamerlimit.com.

In-game advertising is now a large and integral part of our gaming, but, unbeknownst to some, it has some rather humble beginnings, culminating in an epic and interesting journey.

Using in-game advertising allows a developer to offset production costs, giving them the ability to take more risks and be more original, given a much higher budget. Considering the average production cost of a game is estimated to rise to a massive $20 million for a 7th-generation console, some see IGA as a necessity for ensuring we still see high quality, original titles in the future.

It stands to reason that, considering it is the fastest-growing media on the planet, IGA should be on the rise within video games. In fact, according to in-game advertising behemoth Massive Incorporated, the annual spend on this form of advertising will be worth $1.8 billion by 2010.

Dutch only – sorry.

The Virtual World documentory.


Documentaire. Op zoek naar het virtuele paradijs. In deze film geven Femke Wolting en Jorien van Nes een fascinerend beeld van de opkomst van virtuele werelden. Voor miljoenen mensen is het virtuele universum een plek die steeds meer vervlochten raakt met hun echte leven. Mondiaal wordt er jaarlijks 1,5 miljard dollar verdiend met handel in virtuele goederen. In 2011 wordt verwacht dat 80 procent van de mensen naast hun profiel op Hyves en Facebook ook een avatar zullen hebben in 茅茅n of meerdere werelden. Lineage, EVE Online en Second Life zijn voorbeelden van virtuele werelden waarbij de makers en spelers hun eigen paradijs kunnen cre毛ren, ver verwijderd van de echte wereld; nieuwe werelden geheel naar eigen inzicht ingericht, vari毛rend van democratie tot dictatuur. Hier leiden de virtuele inwoners een leven waarvan zij vroeger niet durfden te dromen; van warlord tot succesvol cybersex ondernemer. Maar wie zijn de makers van deze werelden en welke idee毛n en ideologie毛n liggen eraan ten grondslag? Hoe gaat het bouwen van een virtueel utopia in zijn werk? Wat zijn de economische en politieke regels in de virtuele wereld? Is er persvrijheid? Hoe wordt er handel gedreven? Moeten de virtuele inwoners zich aan wetten houden, of zijn zij eindelijk helemaal vrij? Zijn het echt ideale werelden zonder aardse beperkingen? Ze gaan op zoek naar antwoorden op deze vragen.
