Inspirational websites: Coke Zero Game

Something that I always find strange is when large corporates spend an unbelievable amount of money on something that surely won't have any effect at all.

Now, I've never tried Coke Zero, but while having a little stumble the other day I came across the site http://www.cokezerogame.com/ Which didn't just impress me, but literally blew my Primark 33p a pair socks off!

You play the part of an unlucky bloke who's not managed to get tickets to the footy and therefore been abandoned by his mates.

He's only unlucky though until he comes across a coke zero machine in the street and treats himself to a guzzle of the low fat black stuff for men.

That's when 3 birdos pull up in a couple of mean looking sports cars and start the challenges.
You have 4 challenges to complete which are all impressive full motion video games.
The Jump of death - a car game where you have to make it over the bridge; The power challenge which sees you booting a football through a wall; Fire Juggling that tests your keep-e-upy skills and finally Extreme megaball which is a pinball simulator.

All the games are pretty good and all have video of the gorgeous coke girls to encourage you further... especially when you get the chance to enter the cheerleaders dressing room (yep... no getting totally away from the amercianisms! At least the main strap-line is Football as it should be, not soccer as it should be!).



Check out the coke zero game by going to http://www.cokezerogame.com/
It takes a while to load even on a good connection, but it's well worth it.

As for my first point. I played this game about 3 weeks ago... and still haven't tried a coke zero!

Website: Neil Smith Designs blog... i.e. This one!

Ok, "I've been away from blogging for a while"... I wonder how many times that sentence has been written... (313 results for that exact phrase in google - at time of going to blog!).

So what's my excuse?

Let's have a look at the possibilities... Was I...



a) Spending my well deserved lottery win?

b) Enjoying an around the world trip?

c) Entertaining 15 girlfriends at once?

...nope, unfortunately none of the above!

To be honest, although I don't consider myself a dull person (those who know me... shut up!), I've not had that much to say in a blog that was to cover views, news and booze...

I made a few fundamental errors when starting out blogging. I didn't think hard enough about what I wanted to blog about. What others would find interesting. And finally what I knew enough about to make it more than a one-blog-wonder!

Ok, so my first blog outing lasted about as long as Paris Hiltons pop career... but this second bite of the cherry is gonna be sweet!

I intend to apply my knowledge to this blog. I work in web development every day.
So all the best web tools, concepts and inspirational sites I come across in my work... I'm going to blog about. Hopefully you'll like it!
