This Docu-game is a really smart way to decide the virtual future of a city whilst learning more about its social, economic, political and cultural history. It’s live on November 25th in which you’ll be able to decide what characters and scenes to spend time with and then give your opinion. A huge project that takes a very innovative approach to not only telling a story but also encouraging social participation.

1) The Volvo Stunts Series

It isn’t often that you have a really simple idea, wonderfully executed and for such a potentially dull product. Awesome content that makes you actually want to watch the series.

Thanks to everyone who helps bring this blog together each week, finding the great stuff with your productive procrastinating.
