    ROSS'S GAME DUNGEON: PUZZLE AGENT

    in Ross's Game Dungeon

    Regarding Magic Eye pictures, my method always sounds different than others but I can still see them.

     

    Here's how I learned how to do it:

     

    1. First, practice by touching your two index fingers together, similar to this picture.

    2. Now, look behind your fingers to something in the background. This will create a "double image" effect with your index fingers.

    3. Try to create a mini "sausage" between your index fingers, something like this. This is the effect you're looking to do with the Magic Eye pictures.

    4. On a Magic Eye picture, study the design. You will notice a repeating pattern. Do the "double image" effect on the picture, bringing together the similar patterns until they overlap.

    5. You should now be able to see the 3D image.

     

    You can also do the same with "3D images" and "3D videos" online that do side-by-side. Create the "double image" effect and bring together the two to create a "third" image (similar to the fingers "sausage") in the middle. You should be able to see 3D without the use of glasses or VR goggles.

    Congrats to all the winners! We've had a great response so far from the Gold Tier winners. On the Master List of winners, the people with their names italicized and in a lighter text have already contacted [email protected] with their games lists. The people with regular black text have not yet contacted me at that email address.

     

    Once everyone in the Gold Tier has contacted me at the email address or one week has passed since the winners were announced, I will then move on to the Silver Tier winners, doing the same, and then one more week after that, the Bronze Tier.

     

    Congrats to all the winners! All the submissions were great but we did have to pare it down to the best and there were a lot of them! Have a great holiday season everyone! 2016 approaches!

    I'm terrible with gift-buying. I'm just really over it. I don't wanna spend money at all. i don't even know what to get. can i just get clothing? is that a thing? i feel like clothing will get far more mileage than an accessory or jewelry or something...

     

    That's why I tell everyone that I'm going to buy gifts for: "Make a list." If you don't have a list of things you want, you're not going to get anything from me. Many people have fun making lists and it's easier than trying to guess what they want than possibly agonizing over what to get, and getting something they don't want or have no use for.

     

    Is it a bit impersonal? Should you just know what the person wants or needs? Perhaps. I don't know, to be honest. Make a list.

    I just got back from Star Wars 7. I'm glad I don't have to worry about spoilers now. ;) Speaking of spoilers, here are the major ones (in the spoiler tag)--Warning: These are BIG SPOILERS. I'll give my rating afterwards:

     

     

    I always like to start off my reviews with the biggest complaint first: I did not like that they killed Han Solo. I understand Harrison Ford is getting on in years and they probably did it that way so he doesn't have to be a character in the sequels, but I wish he could've survived and went off gallivanting about the galaxy as a smuggler, parting ways amiably.

     

    Second complaint: It was very much J.J. Abramized. There was too much action going on without enough character development. The characters of Rey and Finn barely had enough breathing room to develop their characters. When Finn was struck down by Kylo Ren, it was a bit hard to get any emotional attachment to the character. The development of Rey's force powers seem to have completely come out of left field. She was a 'normie' until suddenly, she's seeing visions after touching Luke's lightsaber and doing Jedi mindtricks. They should've developed her foray into the Force a bit more gradually. Maybe some exposition about her unknowingly using the Force in the past, or something.

     

    Third and the most minor complaint: I didn't really think they did the ending that well. What I would've done is have Rey speak with Leia about finding Luke, and then end with Rey taking off and leaving Leia standing to watch the departing Falcon, swelling orchestral music. Falcon zipping out into hyperspace. Iris-out. Credits. Then movie two could begin with Rey climbing up the mountain and looking down to Chewie and R2, then approaching Luke and handing over the lightsaber. The way they did in the movie seemed to drag on a bit too long. She must've been holding that lightsaber out there for a solid minute of screen time, to show the various reaction shots, then the drone-camera shot spinning around them both.

     

    Now, onto the goodies! I'm so glad they had the characters from the original films in there. It was nice to see Han and Leia back together, even if bittersweet. C3PO is his old annoyingly prissy self in this--I loved it! I liked BB-8 a lot more than I thought I would. The backstory they gave for why Luke went into isolation was a great callback to both the EU books and the original trilogy about Luke not fully completing his training. Andy Serkis as Snoke was perfect (once again). Kylo Ren is a good baddie, though could use some training to become Darth Vader bad. Rey is super-hot in this movie. ;) I loved the development they had with Finn and the character I liked the most was Maz Kanata, the alien woman with the lens goggles that speaks about Luke's lightsaber. I do hope we see more from her.

     

    An applause moment for me was when Poe was brought on board the First Order's Star Destroyer, there was a little droid which I like to call the "I Like Chicken Droid". It's the tiny car droids that go around making chirping noises that sound like "I Like Chicken". After researching, I've found they're called MSE series repair droids (or

    ). When I heard the "I Like Chicken" chirps in the new movie, I applauded. It was a nice little touch. And the inclusion of a Wilhelm scream at the beginning was great!

     

    I loved all the practical effects rather than CG-ing everything as well. I'm excited to see what they do next!

     

     

    I would give the movie a solid 8/10.

    Anyway, this is the latest song:

     

    Neat! I am really reminded of an old-skool "unlicensed" video game for the original NES, "Tetris" made by Tengen.

     

    Whenever you beat a level, depending on your score in that level, some Russian dancers would come out and dance to a little song. Your song reminded me of that song. This:

    That's a good thing! :)

    So now I'm curious. So many games have been made available - is there going to be a specific number of winners, or will there be as many winners as there are games in the list?

    At this point I think there are more games on the list than people who actually post actively on the forums! Maybe the first-place winners will get multiple choices? Or is everyone a winner?

     

    There are people that emailed their screenshots as well.
