365 Challenge – Day 019
MC Escher would be proud. Trying to emulate his “Hand with Reflecting Sphere” self-portrait, but with a slight twist. My sphere, rather than reflecting the light of the room, refracted it, showing an upside-down representation of my cubicle.

Amazing feats by humans.*
*running on water is still not humanly possible; that clip was from a viral marketing video
Still amazing. Still fun.

Geek Blog – Yoshi Jumps HIGH
Call it a glitch. Call it an exploit of new game mechanics. I call it hilarious and awesome!
Thank you YT user MAST3RLINKX
It appears as if the player leaps into the air with Yoshi, extends his jump with Yoshi’s special ability, then quickly dismounts/remounts and uses Yoshi’s special ability again. The timing on this kind of jump would have to be difficult to master at first, but can allow you to get to otherwise unreachable areas (like the top of a volcano, as shown in the video).
I’ve had a blast with this game (as with most Mario games). How has your experience been?

I can’t wait to pick up my prepurchased copy at GameStop. For those of you who got warm and fuzzies from my other posts about SMG2, check out the “Twinkling” (harhar) review put up on GameTrailers:
Geek Blog – Still Alive
The ending credits start to roll. You now know the cake is absolutely, a lie. You’ve escaped the Aperture Science labs and outsmarted the sarcastic AI GLaDOS. Then you’re treated to an upbeat song penned by John Coulton: “Still Alive”; you have beaten Valve’s “Portal”, a unique, physics-based game where you can create doorways in walls, ceilings and floors, much like the ACME holes of Saturday Morning Cartoon legend.
Now, for some reason, I can’t stop listening to this song. When it comes up on my playlist, I turn it up. Apparently I’m not alone. Check out the following interpretations/covers of this song, the original and a special bonus after the jump. But first, enjoy this children’s choir rendition, complete with light show!
Thanks YT user joinchoir
