‘The Scarecrow’ Game App Is Addictive, But Will It Change the Way You Eat? (VIDEO)

Una aplicación de juego te haría hambre de alimentos frescos. Nuestro lugar favorito burrito nos es tentador con cilantro verde más arroz y burritos de mullido. Chipotle Mexican Grill ha creado una nueva aplicación de juego y video que esperan atraerá a nosotros a comer más "real" y el ganado nosotros lejos de basura triste, hechos en fábrica, altamente procesado. Así que sí, que el pulgar y el smartphone liderar el camino para la salud! Y la felicidad! Y exquisitez! ¿Y esto incluso hace sentido para usted?

No sé... Me gusta la idea de teoría. Pero acabo de descargar el juego e intentó jugar y yo no estoy convencido. Tal vez necesite más de un jugador/amante, no es un luchador. ¿Chipotle, puede usted por favor explicarme cómo esta conexión del juego-vientre debe para funcionar?

Jefe marketing oficial Mark Crumpacker la empresa dice:

Creamos juego 'The Scarecrow' y la película como una manera entretenida y atractiva para ayudar a la gente mejor entender la diferencia entre alimentos procesados y la cosa real. En muchos sentidos, "El espantapájaros" representa lo que aspiramos a lograr a través de nuestra visión de la comida con integridad.

El juego comienza con este video corazón-squeezy, que me encantó. Puedes verlo más abajo. Es como algo de un mundo de Tim Burton, un poco menos oscuro y excéntrico, conjunto con la melodía de "Pura imaginación" de Willy Wonka y la fábrica de Chocolate. Un espantapájaros es triste encontrarse a sí mismo viviendo en un mundo de fábrica de producción de alimentos, con gallinas bombeados con drogas crecimiento y vacas en caja en los cajones. Pero entonces! Se encuentra en una granja con pimientos reales crece en plantas vivas. Puntea la pimienta y comienza a cocinar algunos alimentos frescos de afirmación de la vida. (Ya sabes, lo mismo que aspiran a servir al Chipotle.) Música feliz! Esperanza de buena comida eterna!

Como alguien que creció pimientos en su jardín y cocina alimentos frescos, yo digo ¡ viva a esta visión del mundo. Podría han dejado con el video, pero saben que para llegar a los niños hoy en día tienes que gameify tu mensaje.

Cuando llegues al juego (para iPhone, iPad y iPod touch), trata de ayudar a mover las cajas de comida en una fábrica del espantapájaros. Completar ese nivel te permite desbloquear nuevos niveles para jugar y gana descuentos de Chipotle. Te mueves del mundo fábrica del alimento al mundo alimentos frescos más brillante... creo que esa es la idea, de todos modos. Nunca lo hice pasar el primer nivel porque apestan en juegos de azar y no tienen la paciencia al músculo a través de él. Además, tengo todas estas entradas en el blog a escribir hoy, así que...

Puedo ver cómo la aplicación pone gente a tomar decisiones "comida de verdad", es decir, mientras suceden en Chipotle. Y es probablemente casi tan adictivo como Fruit Ninja (ejem, no lo sé). Pero no sé, no estoy convencido de que el juego mismo realmente educa a nadie acerca de cómo se hace la comida. Por otra parte, lo hacen bien el juego y el video es cultivar una conexión emocional con cómo se hace la comida. Y realmente, eso es probablemente más eficaz que descarga un montón de información sobre nosotros. Tengo que ver cómo responde mi hijo amante de juego.

¿Crees que la aplicación juego de Chipotle podría cambiar la forma de la gente come?

'Breaking Bad' Sneak Peek: Will Jesse's 'Big Life Change' Save Him? (VIDEO)

zondag 25 augustus 2013

Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan recently warned fans that these last episodes would be rolling along like a freight train: "You need to really settle down on the couch and pay close attention because it's going to come at you fast and furious in the final eight episodes." It's hard to believe we've only got six more episodes in the SERIES, and he definitely wasn't kidding around -- the two shows that have aired so far in the final half of season five have moved at breakneck speed.

After last week's episode, it seemed like all the main pieces -- Walt, Hank, Marie, Skyler, Lydia -- had officially been set into motion. This Sunday's episode is titled "Confessions," and if you haven't seen the promo yet, let's take a look at AMC's preview video and make some guesses about what's going down next in Breaking Bad-ville.

(Stop now if you're not caught up!)

I don't know about you, but I keep missing the "Next on Breaking Bad" teasers because they've been airing during Low Winter Sun. Way to make me INSTANTLY dislike a show I know virtually nothing about by trying to force me to watch it, AMC. The good news is they eventually surface on the web, so here's the teaser clip for "Confessions":

As usual, they give us exactly enough to get the speculation going, without actually revealing a damn thing. The brutally short synopsis for this week's episode:

Jesse decides to make a big change in his life, while Walt and Skyler (Anna Gunn) try to deal with an unexpected demand.

So Walt and Skyler are united in dealing with this demand, then? That's interesting. Check out this photo released during last Sunday's Talking Bad:

Who could Walt and Skyler be sitting in a restaurant waiting for, I wonder? Is it Hank and Marie, maybe? What would they be demanding? (The kids?)

What's Jesse's "life change" referring to? The episode title makes me think he's considering turning himself in to Hank. Maybe that's the unexpected demand? Maybe Jesse wants to strong-arm the Whites into something, and he had Saul set up the restaurant meeting (hence Saul yelling about how he never would have agreed to it if he'd known what he was going to do)? Or maybe Walt's confessing something to Jesse (how he let Jane die, or how he poisoned Brock, or how he killed Mike, or …), as hinted at with Jesse's line, "You telling me the truth, I mean isn’t that what this is all about?"

Of course, everything they tease is incredibly strategic and more than a little misleading. Remember this line from the synopsis of last week's episode?

Skyler’s past catches up with her.

As it turned out, it was her history with Walt that caught up with her with Hank, not her previous trouble with the IRS or Ted like plenty of folks thought.

Well, we'll find out soon enough, right? As we gear up to watch the next episode, here's a final intriguing word from Vince Gilligan about the way the Breaking Bad story ends:

I feel like this ending represents on some level, however small, something of a victory for Walter White. Read into that what you will.

Oooh, this gives me THEORIES. I think Walt's going to end up dead or jailed, but known throughout the land as the infamous Heisenberg and not just a nobody chemistry teacher, which will have fulfilled his increasing need for power and notoriety. Remember the final lines of Ozymandias?

"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

What do you think is going to happen in tonight's Breaking Bad?

Lindsay Lohan Makes Powerful Decision That Can Change Her Life

It looks like Lindsay Lohan may have finally gotten her act together. Or at least -- is ready to take the steps she needs in order to straighten out her life. It has been some roller-coaster of a ride. But coming off the announcement that she will have her own reality show, has completed rehab, and has filmed a guest stint on Chelsea Handler's late night talk show, Chelsea Lately (airing Monday) -- Lohan is really making us believe she is ready. But it is really her latest move that can possibly change her life ... 

Lindsay has made it known that wants to clear all alcohol from whatever space she is going to occupy. And that's not an easy task. Because alcohol is everywhere. But she's reportedly asked her mother, Dina, to remove alcohol from her home when she visits and plans to ask hotels and green rooms to do the same. In fact, this week she asked the Beverly Hills Hotel to take all alcohol out of her room prior to her arrival. So she is taking the right steps ... the question is will she be able to keep it up. Hopefully the fact she is traveling with a sober coach for the next week will help.

And clearly she doesn't need the drugs or alcohol to help her perform. Check out the sneak peak of her performance filling in for Chelsea by clicking on the link below. She is great!
