Comcastic.com is Amazing - The Coolest Thing You Will See Today

Ok - you have probably seen the link to Comcastic.com already today. I did. I went - checked out the puppets - loved the physics and the style. Beautiful site and great Flash work. I then left. So later I get an IM from my buddy asking if I'd been there yet. I said yea. SO he starts going off about the "phone" and stuff and I'm like "What?". I missed the coolest and best feature - I think they buried it and a lot of people can miss it. So here is my guide to the coolest thing you will see today and maybe for a good while.

Go to the site and click on the On Demand button.


Pick a puppet - it will load - play with it drag it around - sweet huh? Now click close on the little directions window.



You will now see this in the menu. Click that phone.



You get a phone number and a key code. Go ahead call it! Watch the screen when you type the key code in!


You are connected via the phone in realtime!


Follow the on phone directions.


Once its all done - and it is FAST. Click that red circle. Watch the puppets mouth and listen...


This is one of the best melding of technologies I have seen in a long time. Amazing, so fast... Thought I'd share. If anyone knows the developers responsible - please let me know.

Why it was Hall and Natzke I do believe :)
