Just a quick post, to tell you about some of the cool stuff I’ve come across over the past couple of days.

Samorost 2 - This is a beautifully designed game that even I can play! Requires some brainpower to conquer, but it’s really rewarding. The trial version lets you play 3 levels of the game, which is a complete storyline that doesn’t make you feel like you’ve got to buy it when you’re done. But if you decide to it’s only a few bucks to keep going.

I feel like the last kid invited to the party, since everyone I’ve shown this to so far has already seen it!  Typical.

Mr Picassohead - Unleash your inner cubist. This is really addictive.

Optical Illusions - You know those crappy emails that you get 3 times per year, full of the same optical illusions? This website is a fantastic resource that blows the others out of the water. It’s full of interactive flash-based illustrations that let you “prove” to yourself that you’re not being deceived, and well-written explanations of what you should be experiencing. For those that are interested in knowing how it all works, each example is also accompanied by a detailed summary of the science behind it all.

The 5 Most Horrifying Bugs in the World - This is totally worth reading, even if you’re a bit phobic like me. It’s funny and gross and awesome all at once. Hands up if you’ll be having nightmares about Bot Flies tonight?
