    It seems like Zynga's latest Facebook game, Adventure World, is getting rebranded. Players now are shown the new moniker: "Adventure World - An Indiana Jones Game". I've been enjoying the game since it launched, so hopefully this is a sign of more good things to come.

    I don't know if this was Zynga reaching out to Lucas Arts to help spur growth, since the game only got 400,000 players in its first week, which might be good for many games, but was most likely not the user levels Zynga was expecting. On the other hand, perhaps Lucas Arts felt that this was an easy opportunity to help the Indiana Jones brand reach the casual gaming audience. After all, it probably needs some rehabilitation after the last film.

    Regardless of the motives, it seems that our favorite archeologist will be coming to the game himself in October. You can find the game here.

    I spend every Monday afternoon volunteering at the 826LA writing center in Venice. If you are looking for a fun way to get involved in the community and work with kids, this is a great place to go. Beyond the homework assistance, writing help, field trips, and activities for the kids, 826 does a great job of entertaining its tutors. To prepare for the impending release of "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull", 826LA East, the newly opened location in Echo Park, is going to be screening all three films this Saturday.  It should be a fun time with good people, so click here to get more info.

    While this might not technically be a "viral video", rarely does the opportunity come around to watch a trailer for an Indy flick that isn't for nostalgia's sake. Cherish these fleeting joys...
