Ume.net — Living With Lag

How Would Lag Feel in Real Life? This Ad Uses Oculus Rift to Find Out.

You wouldn’t accept lag offline, so why do it online? ume.net, a fiber broadband provider that offers up to 1000 Mbit/s, performed an experiment. Four volunteers got to experience internet’s biggest disturbance in real life — lag.

Carlsberg Border Football

A lovely ad from Carlsberg & Duval Guillaume that ‘uses the magic of football to bring people closer. For once, people from both sides of the borders in Belfast, Nicosia and Kosovo, could enjoy the togetherness only beer and football can create.’

Vans — How To Do Everything In The World

Vans has created a series of short (NSFW) how-to videos presented by Gavin McInnes (co -founder of Vice) that aims to equip the audience for anything they may encounter in life as well as promote their new offthewall.tv site. Hats off to the person who was able to get this past the Vans legal department.
