The machine that sells money

on May 13, 2011 by Daniel Comments

I don’t know exactly what’s the purpose of this machine, but it’s a one to talk about. You enter a coin and you get more money than the one you entered, so you can say that this machine sells money. And there are huge lines of people waiting to use their turn: Guess it’s some kind of teaser for something, and a hell of a good one, you can find further info in this blog. I found this via Marcello Serpa’s Twitter, i guess it’s from brazilian agency AlmapBBDO. (thx Manolo Techera!)

World’s biggest Pac-man is a fantastic piece of work done by Soap Creative for Namco-Bandai (with the help of Microsoft to adapt the game to the new IE9 browser) to promote future Pac-man titles. So far, there are over five thousand levels, including a few ones that i specially liked, such as Sonic, Space Invaders or Mega Man. It’s friday, so go take a look and eat dots!

“Your coin saves lives” is the claim for the 2011 Mexican Red Cross campaign, focused on raising funds for natural disasters, such as floods, mud slides, draught and hurricanes, that always demand huge amounts of the institution’s resources. “Toy Claw Machines” were designed, each one of them containing hundreds of dolls waiting to be rescued by the people, their coins symbolically saving a life by lifting one of the 12 existing characters.

Help Mr. Mistu

Mr. Mistu is not an advergame, but certainly it could be, and a really good one. That’s the story of Mr. Mistu, who ran out of olives for his pizza and decided to go on a journey around the world guided by his guide dog Galdo. A beautiful environment and a nice and smooth interaction, this is one of the most captivating mobile games i’ve played recently.

Lucas Jatoba spent the last three years living in Barcelona and wanted to do something special to bid the city farewell. The young Brazilian did not want to leave without thanking everyone for the many wonderful experiences he had enjoyed there, so he prepared a special parting gift. Lucas set free half a dozen balloons with theatre tickets, filmed the moment and shared the clip with his friends.

This time, however, there were hundreds of balloons and tickets so Lucas could share his farewell with people across the entire city, and the result is this beautiful video:
