Eat that, Halo.
Awesome work from Wieden+Kennedy and the same creative team behind the killer Dante’s Inferno campaign. Keep an eye out for that hot dog. (Thanks, Matt)

I remember playing Oregon Trail on Apple IIs in elementary school. Loved it. Right up there with Lemonade Stand in terms of 8-bit edu-tainment.
Just in time for Halloween the game is back from the dead, with an apocalyptic twist: Organ Trail. All thanks to a band of developers known as The Men Who Wear Many Hats. How long can you survive?

My oldest and most favorite desk tchotchke is a decanter-bust of the King. Plus, he was the soundtrack on My Hairy Commute. Suffice it to say, I loves me some Elvis. So when Rich sent me these incredible busts by Miss Lucky Hellcat I was floored. They’re not decanters, but they more than make up for it in style.
Check out her Dia De Los Muertos Elvis, Zombiefied Elvis, and even Joker Elvis. So rad. Thanks, Rich!

FYI, Screen Novelties are the same stop motion wizards behind the zombie Corn Pop spot, The Spooning for Leo Burnett:
