  Balls away!

  Google^W surprises again with a nice interactive viral for their webbrowser Chrome^W. In Google Chrome Fastball, you have to solve puzzles with the help of online products, like Twitter^W Last FM^W and Google Search^W. This is all built within a custom YouTube^W site. In between the puzzles there is a cool clip of an iron ball going around a parcours of obstacles.. Just check it out. I like the mechanics, but couldn’t do a proper test if Chrome would better/faster then other browsers, because of an overwhelming response, the site is now down. So if you get the chance, check it out!

  OnLive - The future of gaming

  Nautic3l 22:57 on 30/12/2009 | 0 Permalink | Reply
  

  Below is a video presentation of OnLive^W by Steve Perlman^W. OnLive is gaming platform which uses cloud computing by running games on dedicated servers on which you connect with you own computer or with an OnLive box. The smart thing is that you don’t need a powerhouse at home to play games like Crysis^W, it all runs on the servers of OnLive which are equipped with state of the art graphic cards. The possibilities seem endless! Again it is a long one (48 minutes), but again it is all worth it.

  Producing Transmedia Experiences

  Nautic3l 01:18 on 24/12/2009 | 0 Permalink | Reply
  

  MIT^W is at it again with their Futures of Entertainment 4 Conference. They had a real interesting panel discussing Producing Transmedia Experiences: Stories in a Cross-Platform World. If you are the slightest interested in storytelling in it’s broadest form, this a must see!

  The duration of the whole discussion is about 2 hours, but worth every minute of it.

  As the production of transmedia experiences becomes more commonplace, this panel seeks to pick apart some of the tensions emerging around transmedia as creative practice. As a narrative form, what is transmedia anyway? How can we keep it from being more than a shorthand excuse for multi- or cross-platform narratives? Is it anything more than that? Need it be?

  Focussing around a series of case-studies, this panel digs into questions around genre, interactivity, and franchising? Are there certain genre constraints to transmedia narratives, particular genres — science fiction, drama — better suited to become transmedia properties than others? What might a transmedia event built around a romantic comedy look like? What role does interactivity play in transmedia narratives? Can transmedia narratives be satisfying simply by distributing their narrative in lots of forms, or does an “effective” transmedia narrative require opportunities for the audience to “participate” in a more active way than simply interpreting and discussing amongst themselves? Does transmedia require room for the audience to take a narrative in their own directions?

  Moderator: Jason Mittell – Middlebury College
  Panelists: Brian Clark – Partner and CEO, GMD Studios; Michael Monello – Co-Founder & Creative Director,Campfire; Derek Johnson – University of North Texas; Victoria Jaye – Acting Head of Fiction & Entertainment Multiplatform Commissioning, BBC; Patricia Handschiegel – Serial Entrepeneur, Founder of Stylediary.net
