Back from CES, Need Gambling & Hi Tech Fix?


For all of you returning to your desks with a bad gambling and bleeding edge tech habit from a week in Vegas at CES 2008. I’d like to point out a couple of cool online games that could scratch that itch for both.

In, Spot the Bull, it seems that some crazy guy (or marketing team) went and attached a GPS tracking device along with some mini cams to a bull name Derek wandering about in his pen in a farm in the UK. The basic object of the game is to correctly guess (or bet) what part of the pen Derek will be in when the clock strikes 3p… friggin hilarious if you ask me and what the heck else are you going to do on a Friday afternoon after a week at CES?

If you like to work beer into your online LBS gaming, check out Heineken’s Delivery Men game. Possibly the same crazy marketing guy convinced Heineken that it would be a good idea to attach GPS tracking units to beer delivery trucks as they go about the business of delivering beer. The goal of the game is to correctly guess (or bet) where the truck will stop next. Cheers to the Locative Media blog for opening our eyes to that one.
