Takagism

Ahh, long time no see. Sorry about that. I've just had all of my end of semester exams and assignments (the last of which i should be doing now) and I really did wish I had time to blog, but the simple fact is that I didn't.

Anyway, today I really wanted to tell you about an online game which is actually not new at all but I just remembered about it's brilliance recently. I have to give a warning that anyone who has any real work to do should not even open this game because it is extremely addictive. (It must be pretty addictive because that is the first time I have used italics on this blog ever.) Actually, I lied, it's not one game, there are three different scenarios and additionally, I am waffling a whole lot. To the point. The game is called The Crimson Room and was created by Takagism, the brand of a pretty cool Japanese artist.

Basically, you wake up after a big night and you're in some room you've never seen before. Obviously, you have to get out. This game really got me thinking and is very challenging. I know my explanation probably doesn't sound that grand, but for those of you who like a puzzle, this is great.

It is really hard to resist the urge to google for a walkthrough, but I guarantee, finish this by yourself and you will get the best feeling of accomplishment.

I know this isn't by any means a gaming blog and while I'm on the topic of off-topic things, never watch this.

Love and warm hugs,

Robot/People Art

Could a human-like object traverse sidewalks and streets along with us, and in so doing, create a narrative about our relationship to space and our willingness to interact with what we find in it? More importantly, how could our actions be seen within a larger context of human connection that emerges from the complexity of the city itself?

These are the questions Kacie Kisner asked. She answered them by building a robot.
Read more about Kacie's tweenbots project here. For now, watch this adorable video.

Le Love

I'm going to perform a bit of blatant blogging plagiarism here and simply post my recent favourites from over at Le Love. Sorry, but this is what it has come to. (i.e. I'm very lazy.)

I couldn't decide which of these photos to pick, so I posted them both even though they don't really match. One. Two.

I came across this video a while ago and thought it was lovely.

This is another video that is equally cute, if not, cuter.

And I'll finish it off with a poem/song lyrics/I'm not really sure. I read this in my head to the tune and voice of Kate Nash's video (the equally cute one).

Movies

I want to watch these movies...







I do hope they all come out in Australia.

Signs

Absolutely gorgeous. I couldn't help but squeal in delight at some parts. Directed by Patrick Hughes; found through Le Love.

(I really hope stuff like this actually happens in real life.)

Tochka Factory

Okay, seriously. This is my 4th post tonight, and my second post about Tochka. But I just HAD to show you this.



I have no idea what the Tochka Factory blog is about, since it's all in Japanese; But I love it anyway! I don't have enough downloads to be watching every single video posted there at the moment (for now, getting new net soon!). I shall just have to make do with showing you this cute clip set to some Japanese pop song. Click here to see more awesome stuff from The Tochka Factory.

Pika Pika Lighting Doodle Project

I saw the last few seconds of this project made by Tochka on tv and I've been trying to find it ever since. Here it is! This is truly amazing. An impressive feast for the eyes.
I might try to make one myself, just like the other 104,318 people who viewed it on youtube, haha.
