Is This Cool or Lame?


(I'm talking about the game, Energyville, not the landing page). I'm not sure. It did eat up about 10 minutes of my work day. I learned a couple of nifty little do-dads about energy usage and technology, both current and upcoming. But I don't feel any better about energy conglom, Chevron.

The game itself was neat. I got to name my own town, kind of like a Sim City game. It let me know the environmental, economic and security (not entirely sure what security means) of each of my choices for producing power. I got to run with a mostly green-city, because I just rock that way and I don't want my citizens dying from dirty air. But again, as a marketing tool, I really don't feel any different about Chevron. Maybe if they self-promoted a little more about what they're doing to make energy creation safer and cleaner and why I should think they are awesome, it would've worked better.

Or I could just be too picky.

Yeah, that's right. I named my town Stenchburg. If anyone can tell me what it's from, I will give you a pat on the back, maybe even a hug.
