How do I actually send a contact request?

innoying• 12 years ago

When you get to the end it lists keybinds for each contact option.

WiseWeasel2• 12 years ago

The headline is a lie. There is no form, only an elaborate captcha that mocks my love for both Nintendo and Police. It's not even an effective captcha since you can just send a click and then hold down the 'up' arrow for a bit over a minute to beat it. Obviously, I missed the point.

[edit] Headline since changed from "Best contact form ever". [/edit]

It's an impressive software demo, but actually the worst contact form I've ever seen.

The "win screen" is rather tasteless as well. It tells me I probably don't want to contact them after all.

Dark Igloo is a company that specializes in branding.

If you don't want to contact them, you probably wouldn't have been a client of theirs anyway.

TheZenPsycho6• 12 years ago

Well if i were a beer or cigarette company I probably don't mind abjectifying women to sell product, sure. But if I'm a branding company, maybe I don't want to limit my client base to beer companies.

The win screen featuring a naked woman was off-putting, they write on their website that they are hiring "Eskimos" and I guess they think that is funny or edgy and cool or something.

They are called "DARK IGLOO"

I remember how difficult it was to put your initials in the high score table with a joystick with 1980s arcade games. This is the interface they should have emulated to make the form true to form. There was no facebook, twitter or email client software back then.

Priorities being priorities they should have a regular contact form with hidden javascripts to submit IP address (so you can geolocate the enquiry), time spent on site (to see if punter is serious), stuff about someone's computer (so you know if they have money or browse on a phone) and so on.

After the form you then get to play the game...

The top speed is also 420mph. How clever.

jlas• 12 years ago

Agree. It's bad design. The user wants to contact you, not play a game.

Oh look! It's another north american "women are offended!" sort. How's that koolaid tasting?

pnathan• 12 years ago

Yeah, the Win Screen is a little... ehhh. Something I would have expected from a business targeting the "adult businesses" market. Which it doesn't look like they do.

aram• 12 years ago

Interesting; however the "E" keybinding doesn't seem to work for me on Chrome @ OSX. No JS errors though. "F" and "T" worked fine.

WiseWeasel2• 12 years ago

Same for Chrome on Windows.

binarycrusader• 12 years ago

Worked fine for me with Chrome 31 on Linux.

bsilvereagle• 12 years ago

After browsing their site, I still have no idea what this company does.

spaceborn• 12 years ago

"DARK IGLOO IS A COMPANY THAT SPECIALIZES: BRANDING, ILLUSTRATION, PHOTOGRAPHY, VIDEO"

Right on their front page, guy.

lukasm2• 12 years ago

Anyone knows where can I get music like that?

or a million MIDI sites on Geocities

Speaking of: https://archive.org/details/archiveteam-geocities-midi-colle...

lukasm2• 12 years ago

Isn't it copyrighted? Geocities. Police is, of course.

fiatmoney• 12 years ago

The muzak/MIDI version of Roxanne is what really sells it.

colept• 12 years ago

The only possible reason this would sell is if the buyer stripped everything and kept the MIDI for an 8 bit game based on the movie "Pretty Woman." So, never.

If you are interested about "Dark Igloo" (who's behind this site):

"Dark Igloo is Dave Franzese and Mark Richard Miller. Their design and video work was recognized as part of 2012's ADC Young Gun's X class and has been commissioned by diverse brands like Smart Car, Google, and Bonnaroo"

Best captcha everrrr

fiatjaf• 12 years ago

Is this to restrict contact only for those with willpower or real need?
