			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fancy a free serving or two of Jell-O? Feeling down in the dumps and firing away tweets laced with &#8220;:(&#8221; at the beginning, middle, or end?</p>
<p>If you answered &#8220;yes&#8221; to both, then you might just receive a tweet from @JelloMoodMeter with a link to claim your free pudding.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-63918" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Jell-O-Pudding-Face1.jpg" alt="Jell O Pudding Face1" width="600" height="436" title="Jell O Pudding Face1 photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-63888"></span>Jell-O&#8217;s new campaign is to rid sadness from America, one tweeter at a time. So how does it work? Jell-O has set up a site with the <a href="http://www.jellopuddingface.com/">Jell-O Pudding Face</a> that parses through the tweets on Twitter, segregating them as Smiley Tweets or Frowny Tweets. (From the labels themselves, you&#8217;d probably be able to guess which kind of tweets go where.)</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-63922" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Jell-O-Pudding-Face11.jpg" alt="Jell O Pudding Face11" width="600" height="428" title="Jell O Pudding Face11 photo" /></p>
<p>Now Jell-O has moved its pudding face from Twitter to the real world with the new billboard they&#8217;ve set up in Manhattan. Having a bad day? Just look up to Pudding Face and see if the rest of America (who are at home tweeting about their joys or sorrows) are feeling as crappy (or good) as you.</p>
<p>Every time more frowny tweets are detected by Pudding Face, the red button lights up, and you guessed it: someone is scoring some free pudding from Jell-O.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Amazing <em>Left 4 Dead</em> custom campaigns make me want to leave my Xbox behind and buy a gaming PC, and this new one only makes me more jealous than ever. This in-progress campaign is modeled after the movie <em>Shaun of the Dead</em>, directed by Edgar Wright.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-17005" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/tb-shundeadl4d.jpg" alt="tb shundeadl4d" width="600" height="309" title="tb shundeadl4d photo" /></p>
<p>Look! It&#8217;s the Winchester. Such a comforting and familiar site.The film fits surprisingly well into <em>Left 4 Dead&#8217;s</em> five-part campaign; players start off in Shaun&#8217;s apartment, move to his Mum&#8217;s house, then to Liz&#8217;s, and then to two stages in the Winchester.</p>

<p>The campaign is still in progress and it looks like they&#8217;re in the market for people who can work on it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The amazing co-operative zombie FPS <em>Left 4 Dead</em> is about to get a little bigger. Valve just announced the game&#8217;s first DLC: the Survival Pack. The new content will be available for both Xbox 360 and PC, and will include two new versus campaigns as well as a new multiplayer mode called, unsurprisingly, &#8220;Survival.&#8221; No word yet on whether or not the versus campaigns will be all-new, or if they will simply open up the game&#8217;s other two existing campaigns for team-on-team action.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8702" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/tb-l4ddlc1.jpg" alt="tb l4ddlc1" width="520" height="293" title="tb l4ddlc1 photo" /></p>
<p>Survival mode sounds like the kind of thing that could be <em>serious business</em>. Many of the game&#8217;s fans have idly wished for even more of a challenge (as though the game&#8217;s expert mode wasn&#8217;t hard enough!) and who knows? With a name like that, I can hope it will deliver that very thing.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s not all Valve&#8217;s got up their sleeves for<em> Left 4 Dead</em>, however; the DLC will be released concurrently with a &#8220;Critic&#8217;s Choice&#8221; edition of the game that will include the new content, for those who have yet to pick up the game. PC players will also have access to the first <em>Left 4 Dead</em> release for the Source Software Development Kit (Source SDK), which means we&#8217;ll be seeing a lot of custom campaigns soon after. No prices yet, or a firm date, but Valve says spring.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now that we&#8217;re down to just two leading party candidates for the 2008 U.S. presidential election, it looks like a couple of new upstarts have tossed their <a href="http://www.ncsx.com/2007/043007/mario_hat_cushions.htm">brightly colored plumbers&#8217; hats</a> into the ring.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2454" title="mario_luigi_campaign_08" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/mario_luigi_campaign_08.jpg" alt="mario luigi campaign 08" width="400" height="514" /></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know about you guys, but I&#8217;m definitely voting for the Mario/Luigi &#8217;08 ticket. I&#8217;m not sure what their exact platform is, but I&#8217;m guessing it involves using mushrooms to solve the nation&#8217;s health care crisis, and collecting lots of gold coins to straighten out the budget deficit. Born in Japan, but raised as Italians, I&#8217;m not sure that they&#8217;d pass the U.S. citizenship requirements, but isn&#8217;t stopping them from running with the catchy campaign slogan &#8220;It&#8217;s-A-merica!&#8221;</p>
<p>Show your support for the Mario Party ticket by heading on over to <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/gaming/9e12/">ThinkGeek</a> and picking up one of these festive campaign t-shirts. Given the millions of games these guys have sold over the years, they probably would have a good chance of winning if they actually did run.</p>
