Deus Ex- The cost of augmenting humanity/reality

The transmedia-ARG bit of the marketing campaign for the new Deus Ex looks more intriguing than the game itself. There is a beautifully shot, live action mockumentary trailer around that paints a wonderfully scary picture of a business led, augmentation driven world. Very invasive/pervasive, and one of the commenters is the author of a fictional book with the critical, tongue in cheek name of “Augmented Reality”.

The transmedia experience comes with the corporate site with some nice advertising video too.

Hipster Kickball

Victoria just put me onto the Brooklyn Kickball League. Which she described as floodlit, night time, hipster kickball. Cool, I wanna see it for real. Or play.
