Now this is absolutely insane. The game engine for Crysis, CryENGINE2, is MAD. Just watch the video below to see how intricate it is. Jesus. How far we’ve come in terms of graphical capability is truly amazing. You might want to turn the volume down, unless your ears enjoy deafening, tympanic membrane rape.
Well, it’s been a while since my last post. I’ve been busy beating Mario Galaxy 100% and playing Geometry Wars: Galaxies. I’m proud to say that I was 26th worldwide in Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved [Wii]. I want to get that out there now, because I’ll NEVER get the chance to say that again. XD
Anywho, I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. Here’s a treat.
It’s about time I posted something tech-related. I’ve noticed I’ve been highly emphasizing the gaming aspect of this blog a bit too much. I even categorized this blog as that of a ‘Console Gaming’ nature in that BlogRush box to the right. The original intent of MOAR PLOX!!1! was for it to be tech-based, so I’m going to be focusing more on that. So here’s somethin’ for ya.
What you see above is Reactable in action. A proper name for such a device. What it’s doing is dynamically generating sound through a tabletop interface. Bunchofnerds.com explains it a tad better:
“Reactable…a multi-user electronic music instrument built into a tabletop interface. Imagine if you will, a life-size Elektroplankton! Yeahhhhh. With it, users are able to create complex and dynamic sonic “topologies” (music compositions) by moving physical objects over the table, controlling virtual generators, filters and modulators in a graspable flow-controlled programming language.”
