Drawing on Brunei legends, could a video game be developed around historical Brunei? @radleyfarrens explains in the survey:

Basically, this game would fall under a social simulator title about a young man entrusted by his aging father to build a village from the ground up during the reign of Awang Alak Betatar. One of the major aims is to give a relive the perspective of Ancient Brunei and the the related history and lifestyle of that era.

Marriage Statistics by JPKE

Some Brunei marriage statistics in infographic form, by Department of Economic Planning and Development (JPKE).

I'm sure we can say some clever things about that first one. Someone, please start.

Brunei Maps: Map of High Speed Broadband (HSBB) Coverage

(Screenshot as of June 2016)

TelBru has made good use of Google Maps to mark out the geographical areas for HighSpeed Broadband (HSBB) coverage, including colours to indicate progress.

(Their actual progress is on them, so don't be hatin' on us. We just think the map is nice!)

Brunei Maps: Pac-Man!

Images via: Pac-Man’s Trip to Brunei

You might remember how Pac-Man and the four ghosts invaded Google Maps in Google’s 2015 April Fool’s (read more on The Next Web).

Loved the write-up from @borneoborn-blog on bringing Pac-Man around certain parts of Brunei, including Tutong and Temburong:

In case you didn’t notice, one of the ghosts was waiting in line for his Nasi Katok, a lunch staple for the frugal/broke/fans. I forgot to ask the ghost about it but is Nasi Katok still a dollar?

Anyway, Pac-Man got hungry so, I took him to Tutong Town to try our traditional pulut panggang but he wanted to try a non-American and Halal Jollibee. SO STUBBORN.
