SXSX Go Game

At SXSW 2013 in Austin, Team NSFW competed against Team Spill in a game called "Scenario". In this game, each team was assigned a scene from a movie (Team Spill- "Zoolander", Team NSFW- "The Big Lebowski") and they had to reenact the scenes while working in props or themes that were assigned to them.

Check out all of the SXSW 2013 Go Game videos here.

Team Spill ended up the victors.

Justin vs. The Ad Dragon

Justin wouldn't shut up about it for the month leading up to the event, and finally at South By So Wasted 2013, Justin faced off against the Ad Dragon in an ad-read-off. Both Justin and Ad Dragon were given a random "Cards Against Humanity" card which would serve as the product that they had to sell. They drew a second card which was the price of the product and the third card that they drew was a competing product.

Justin powered through his ad read, but Ad Dragon couldn't handle the offensive topics that he was forced to discuss and forfeited his position as ad-read-czar of the NSFW show.

Project Abotalit

For a few months, Brian and Justin have been planning the next Diamond Club-esque hoax.

A while back Bri Bri and Jerbs ran into a German vintner who told them about the history of wine. He told the guys that honey wine was popular right before the fall of the Roman empire and wine cocktails were popular just before Prohibition. This gave Brian and Justin the idea to come up with a wine cocktail and market it as the wine that destroys civilizations.

This is where the Chatrealm comes in. You need to help come up with the story behind this wine. The basic outline is that whenever this type of wine cocktail becomes popular, society collapses. In every society, the drink had a different name, but now it is called "Ruinum". During the show, Tom Merritt recorded an amazing ad for Ruinum. LISTEN TO IT! After the show ended, chatrealmer "Smoke" put together this ad.

Work on the backstory here in the google doc.
