- DrJid 13y agoHow do I actually send a contact request?
- innoying 13y agoWhen you get to the end it lists keybinds for each contact option.
- WiseWeasel 13y agoThe 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]
- TheZenPsycho 13y agoIt'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.
- applecore 13y agoDark 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.
- TheZenPsycho 13y agoWell 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.
- Jacqued 13y agoDon't you think this is an overreaction ? I mean, it's far reaching to see anything more than a cute retro reference in the win screen. On the other hand if you're a branding company then your clients will probably demand aseptic and overly neutral work anyway so you might as well start by your own branding I guess
- TheZenPsycho 13y agoUhm... what? what NES racing game featured a girl wearing nothing more than a ribbon/snake? How does referencing that help to sell your marketing skills? How is it anything other than tasteless ugly bro culture? I enjoy naughty pictures as much as the next dude, but I can recognise that there's a difference between a professional context, and a "locker room" context. I don't think that's overreacting. It's just noting that these guys don't seem to know what they're doing, and are likely to ruin my brand by tweeting something awful under my banner.
- kawsper 13y agoBubble Bath Babes was a unlicensed NES game that had nearly the same image in their game: http://cdn-i.dmdentertainment.com/funpages/cms_content/17206/header10.jpg http://cdn-i.dmdentertainment.com/funpages/cms_content/17206...
- Jacqued 13y agoI think I agree with you on some level. In a classic professional context, I too would deem a naked girl picture highly inappropriate and unwelcoming to women. However, an agency's website can be a somewhat informal place. Depending on your audience, mildly inappropriate stuff is useful to show that you are different and not for everyone. If you look at the website as a whole it seems to make sense here. I think this is more an emanation of a vintage geekish culture than some "bro culture". I guess I'm just very tired of people always getting on their high horse when something might be offensive to somebody. Some things are worth being indignant about, but most of the time it's just not worth it and diluting your point. It's the kind of thing that makes me defend things I'm against just because I dislike exagerated self-righteousness.
- JamisonM 13y agoThe 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.
- CosmicShadow 13y agoThey are called "DARK IGLOO"
- Theodores 13y agoI 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...
- MarkTee 13y agoThe top speed is also 420mph. How clever.
- jlas 13y agoAgree. It's bad design. The user wants to contact you, not play a game.
- sergiotapia 13y ago>The "win screen" is rather tasteless as well. It tells me I probably don't want to contact them after all. Oh look! It's another north american "women are offended!" sort. How's that koolaid tasting?
- pnathan 13y agoYeah, 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 13y agoInteresting; however the "E" keybinding doesn't seem to work for me on Chrome @ OSX. No JS errors though. "F" and "T" worked fine.
- WiseWeasel 13y agoSame for Chrome on Windows.
- binarycrusader 13y agoWorked fine for me with Chrome 31 on Linux.

- bsilvereagle 13y agoAfter browsing their site, I still have no idea what this company does.
- spaceborn 13y ago"DARK IGLOO IS A COMPANY THAT SPECIALIZES: BRANDING, ILLUSTRATION, PHOTOGRAPHY, VIDEO" Right on their front page, guy.
- lukasm 13y agoAnyone knows where can I get music like that?
- evan_ 13y agohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3T1c7GkzRQQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3T1c7GkzRQQ or a million MIDI sites on Geocities
- fiatmoney 13y agoThe muzak/MIDI version of Roxanne is what really sells it.
- colept 13y agoThe 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.
- bd 13y agoIf 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" http://mssngpeces.com/directors/dark-igloo/ http://mssngpeces.com/directors/dark-igloo/
- roymckenzie 13y agoBest captcha everrrr
- fiatjaf 13y agoIs this to restrict contact only for those with willpower or real need?
