cursor*10 - a flash game that is made of win
Monday, January 14th, 2008every once in a while you find a game that makes you go “oh nice.. check out this game”. this is one of those times.
this guy at neko games (whose website i find really hard to understand) had the came up with the idea of cooperating with yourself– that idea alone is enough to make for an awesome paradox slash game, and its well executed too.
the idea is to get to the 16th floor by clicking the upwards staircases - the twist is that you have 10 cursors to do it - one by one, 20 seconds each.
it really gives you the feeling of helping yourself, which is surprisingly pleasant - i should thank myself more.
what the fuck, it is friday you all !

what you see depends on where you are in the world.
Friday, December 14th, 2007The influence of culture and environment can have an effect on our visual perception.This theory was first explored by Robert Laws, a Scottish missionary working in Malawi, Africa, during the late 1800’s. Take a look at the picture below. What you see will largely depend on where you live in the world.After you have examined the picture, scroll down for a more detailed explanation.
so what did you see ?
What is above the woman’s head? When scientists showed a similar sketch to people from East Africa, nearly all the participants in the experiment said she was balancing a box or metal can on her head.
In a culture containing few angular visual cues, the family is seen sitting under a tree. Westerners, on the other hand, are accustomed to the corners and boxlike shapes of architecture. They are more likely to place the family indoors and to interpret the rectangle above the woman’s head as a window through which shrubbery can be seen.
after reading i looked again and yeah, i could see that thing at the back as a tree and not the corner of a room, and the window as a box on that womans head.
i like those kinds of things.. it clearly demonstrates that what we see is just our brain trying to make since out of things - based on what it knows already; makes you wonder what reality really looks like.
- Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.
