interactive fiction

Also known as IF, this is a gamestyle that doesn't require a fully decked nVidia graphics card or Surround Sound. While it can be argued that any video game is interactive and fictional, IF refers to text adventures like the Zork series or Colossal Cave.

The lack of non-ASCII graphics does not mean that IF is not graphic in any capacity. Some of the deaths in IF are described in more detail than most gib-splattering FPS games care to show, which is to say nothing of the sexual content in some titles....

IF is also partially responsible for the point-and-click adventure and perhaps some in the SLG field, particularly visual novels and dating sims.
I downloaded that interactive fiction game "Adverbum;" surely, some solution should surface suddenly!

Interactive Ads

The most annoying form of internet advertising ever. They are flash video ads that are supposedly 'interactive.' First of all, they start out with sound always enabled, so if you have the volume up and this comes on, you shit yourself. Then when it gets to the 'interactive' part, it's like 4 seconds of clicking and dragging. Some sites are virtually unvisitable, because they have 10 of these ads, all starting at different times, freezing the web browser. Who ever though of these needs to be shot, and Urban Dictionary needs to stop using them.

Interactive Entertainment Marketing

A new form of marketing that incorporates interactive, social and viral marketing with entertainment marketing and product placement. The marketing term was coined in late 2011 by an ad agency exec Jody Sigmund. Interacting with the audience on social platforms allows businesses to tap into their network of friends as well. Interactive viral campaigns can offer unbelievable results with negligible costs. Today, a successful campaign will include smart phone integration, entertaining media, events, product placement, direct to P.O.S. campaigns and social media platforms for viral reach.
The campaign will include Interactive Entertainment Marketing allowing the audience to choose what the characters wear or even help script or win something by playing along. They will be able to participate through sharing social media posts and tags that are then virally passed along.
