In this game, we shall post amazing pictures of amazing things. If you get amazed, you lose.

Now check out this image of a lake on the ocean floor.

For me, at least, it's harder to gauge amazement than shock, hilarity, or even nostalgia. Still, under my own undefinable (and for all purposes, tentative) guidelines, I lost to CE7 and Weegee. And maybe PL, penguinwizard, and Glorb (primarily the latter). And yes, dc, Hubble's Deepest Field is incredibly amazing, but Iearned about it a while back. To be honest, I don't amaze all that easily, so I actually tend to determine relative amazement by what seems... the least mundane.

I don't know if I'm amazed, but I'm surely impressed.  I want a jigsaw puzzle of that image.  I loves The Simpsons puzzled like that.  I was going to make a Mario image like it once, but didn't have a large enough stock of varying colors.

As for Glorb's picture, there's an obvious explanation: Everything in Japan is anime, which includes real life. No doubt if the construction workers were more clearly visible, it would be apparent that they have eyes the size of grapefruits. Anyways, this sequence of photographs (http://www.snopes.com/photos/accident/culvert.asp) was deemed to be authentic by Snopes.com.

As for nenson's post, unless I'm mistaken, one of the screens depicted on SMB3's box contains some element not included in the actual game. Additionally, as noted TMK's Bugs and Glitches section, there's a grammatical error in Toad's card-flip game explanation.

As for nenson's post, unless I'm mistaken, one of the screens depicted on SMB3's box contains some element not included in the actual game.

No! .. or rather, this box is the "corrected" box. The odl box had a plains level with a yellow background in the middle picture, which resembeld an area from the Starman running level in World.. 7 I think.

Lost to the "gaping hole" illusion. Better yet, that getup could double as a costume item if you plan on trick-or-treating as an Al-Qaeda insurgent.

World War II is easy to make a game about. Everyone knows Nazis suck. A World War I game, done properly, would require some deep treatment of the tragic meaninglessness of the war rather than just being an all-out arcadish shooter. It'd be really cool to see a time-traveling RPG where you have to try to prevent WWI in order to also prevent WWII and the Cold War. How come no one ever makes time-traveling RPGs set in the early 20th century, seriously? That would be fun.

Bowser does look rather ox-like now that I think about it. I'll count it as a loss.

It's only a matter of time before there's fanart with Cubone and Kangaskhan. There probably already is.

...wait, Cubone is wearing the skull of his deceased mother? I lost again. I just thought the skull was a cute touch, I didn't think it was something morbid like that. What happens if you breed two Cubones? Nevermind, there's quite a few threads on that topic.

No offense, but that one is for noobs. The creator's use of nonexistant custom blocks really killed the point. If it had been kept within the realm of SMW's actual physics, however, that would be another story.

Kind of off-topic, but I just noticed that the second half (at least) had physics similar to an ice level; watch Mario's legs during the ending animation.

My issue with the undeniably cool eleven-minute opus (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsVJGRuHA8k) is that it uses Yoshi-patterned "jump blocks", stone blocks which rocket you in any direction and other elements not included in the actual game. Ice level physics are one thing, but... yeah.

Post by: Chupperson Weird on September 06, 2009, 01:14:35 AM
I don't see why you don't object to hacking the levels, but do object to hacking a couple block textures to make them fit better in the level plan.
Those elements are all native to the game engine; they just look different.

I'm not going to criticize you for being disinterested in space/astronomy, but the appeal is the vastness of it all. Think. We're but a small, fragile dot in the middle of an enormous universe. Every war, every discovery, every human that has ever lived...it's all taken place on a small blue dot. That's what Carl Sagan was trying to tell us. "Astronomy is a humbling experience."

Carl Sagan just wanted to protect us from the infinite cosmic horrors of infinite horror from the cosmos.

Quote from: Carl Sagan
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
Carl Sagan sad that. Carl Sagan also got a grant from the government to begin a U.S. military initiative to combat a threat that he called the "Elder Gods", using Tesla coils, steam-powered airships, and clockwork robots.

I'd love to see someone Photoshop together some other Mario thing using soda cases. Maybe Yoshi, just use Sprite cases for the body, Coke cases for the tongue and saddle and spikes on the back of his head, Mug Root Beer cases for the boots. Diet Dr. Pepper cases for the eyes.

The complete game of "Critical Path" as a YouTube interactive game (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUamoP_H7eo). Critical Path was a really old FMV choose-your-adventure sort of game. Kat's some army gal on a mission, you and Kat travel by helicopter to the bad guy's place until it's shot down by a missile. You're injured but make your way into a control panel room, hooked up to all the rooms in the bad guy place. Kat has to travel into the place alone, and your job is to fiddle with buttons to save Kat while you're watching the security cameras tracking her every move.

In short, you have to press the right buttons at the right times to save Kat. The YouTube version reduces the choices to "let Kat live" and "let Kat die", so you won't have any trouble getting through this. Just sit back and enjoy the... horribly dated graphics and bad acting.

But this game was awesome back in the day, man. I could never get past the catwalk part... thankfully the YouTube version skips that scene entirely since Kat could die a thousand ways in that particular scene.

The YouTube version only takes about 20 minutes to play. A behind-the-scenes video (which you get to see after you finish the YouTube version) talks about the game on the news and how it's pioneering a new genre of computer games. The newscaster claims the game will take 8-9 hours to complete. And back then I'd believe it -- the control panel has like 20 buttons and you have to read a journal written by the bad guy in order to get enough clues to know what to press and when. All I cared about was getting to the end of the story, so this YouTube version's a lifesaver.

Quote from: KevinCow, NeoGAF
Pac-Man is a game where you wander aimlessly through a maze of dark, featureless corridors, relentlessly chased by the undead. Your combat abilities against them are minimal, and your ammunition extremely limited — there are only four per map. Even if you do ‘kill’ your enemies, they are not truly dead, merely slightly inconvenienced. They can never be truly killed, and live for the sole purpose of hunting you until you’re dead. Do you get what I’m saying? Pac-Man is the first survival horror game.

Well, still, there's a bunch of other Pokemon amaze factoids that haven't been debunked. Yet.

My personal favorite (I forget if it's fact or fiction) is the realization that Cubone wears his mother's skull on his head.
Title: Re: You Get Amazed, You Lose
Post by: Weegee on January 15, 2010, 09:06:03 PM
That's canonical fact, as confounding as it may be. Such information dictates that all Cubones produce only one offspring before dying, and that two Marowaks are thereby incapable of producing Cubone babies. Also, the fact that Cubones emerge from their eggs already wearing skulls contradicts everything else. Eeughh.
Title: Re: You Get Amazed, You Lose
Post by: CrossEyed7 on January 15, 2010, 09:10:43 PM
The conflation of individuals with groups as a whole causes a lot of problems when translated from Japanese to English. Like how we get all pedantic over whether a specific Magikoopa is Kamek, or if a specific Toad is "The" Toad, or object to the portrayal of any member of the Birdo species as actually female. Cultural differences are weird.

What amazed me:

You know that Jeremy Irons voiced and sung as Scar in "The Lion King". But during the final part of "Be Prepared" (right after "You won't get a sniff without me"), he was sick or whatever and Jim Cummings filled in for him. Jim did all of the last part, but he did such a great job mimicking Jeremy that you can't tell it's someone else.

I played with Akinator back when 4chan was obsessing over him quite some time ago, but don't remember what character I stumped him with then. One that probably wouldn't work now, I'm guessing.

First three characters I tried were Hatsune Miku, Saber, and Arcueid Brunestud, and he got them all right after question twenty. I then figured I'd go with something that a bunch of people hadn't probably already gone with and picked Ulala; he got her after one failed guess (on twenty-four). I then went with Dr. Horrible, who he got after question seventeen. Agent J took him twenty; the King of All Cosmos and Hakurei Reimu each took him only sixteen. I finally fully stumped him with UFO-CO.

Post by: WarpRattler on April 14, 2010, 08:12:35 AM
Thing is, there are plenty of really obscure characters I'm at least 90% sure would stump him - Exelica (from Triggerheart Exelica), the dude from Ikaruga, the guy on the Phalanx cover - but those are no fun.

He got the main character from Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3. He did not get Satan (from Madou Monogatari/Puyo Puyo). He got Ritsu Sohma (from Fruits Basket) on his second guess (after question thirty).

^ I always think of a Harry Potter character when I see that "Dad" guy, for some reason. Maybe crossed with Daniel-Day Lewis in There Will Be Blood.

...And I guess I lost, if only because that precise concept had never directly occured to me, but it's not inherently that amazing. Obviously, a controller needs to be contoured to the hand, and a trigger button where the index finger will rest--directly opposite a joystick--just makes sense.

I thought that was fairly well known. If you look at the Virtual Boy controls, it's also very similar. I'd be willing to think that Nintendo would trademark that sorta shape like they did with the cross control pad design.

Fold a dollar bill in half 50 times, and it will be thick enough to reach 80% of the way to the sun. Nineteen more times and it will reach Alpha Centauri A, the closest extrasolar star. One more time and it will stretch past Sirius A, or point in a different direction to go past Epsilon Eridani, a star with two planets. One more fold, 71, will take you past Gliese 876, which has four planets.

Folding it in half 101 times would bring you just short of the former location of UDFj-39546284, a galaxy (no longer existent) that is the most distant object ever observed. One more fold would take you just past the edge of the observable universe.

At this point, the cross-sectional area of the dollar bill would be 2.04 * 10-33 square meters, or about 10 by 10 Planck lengths (equivalent to about 10-18 times the size of a proton). The Planck length is the smallest distance that can have any meaning.

At 101 folds, the thickness of the dollar bill is now equivalent to 2,535,301,200,456,458,802,993,406,410,752 bills stacked on top of one another. If you actually had that many dollar bills, it would be enough to give $362,185,885,779,494,114,713.34 to every person on earth (assuming all of them are one-dollar-bills). This would be enough for each person to pay off the United States' national debt 22,636,617 times over, or once every second from January 1 to September 17. For 102 folds, double all these numbers.

That's not the point.  The point is for you to realize the power of such growth.  If you don't like the impossible folding example think of the CPU in your computer or the microscopic organisms in your own body.

More like if there wasn't any air. The friction between the air and anything as light as a penny will keep it from doing any significant damage. If we were in a vacuum, though... well, imagine what it would be like to drop a boulder from an airplane. A penny would fall at the same speed, and probably punch holes in people's heads.
