Great for people with wheelchairs or weakness in the upper limbs/fingers that would otherwise prevent them from removing the pin and pressing the handle of a conventional fire extinguisher... but honestly, this really makes me wanna put out some fire in a badassed-L4D2-kind-of-way... you might need to stock up on the ammunition for bo-bo shooters though =P
The interesting phenomenon of afterimages... Just stare at the dot in the picture below =3
"... Negative afterimages are caused when the eye's photoreceptors, primarily those known as cone cells, adapt from the overstimulation and lose sensitivity.[1] Normally the eye deals with this problem by rapidly moving small amounts (see: microsaccade), the motion later being "filtered out" so it is not noticeable. However if the color image is large enough that the small movements are not enough to change the color under one area of the retina, those cones will eventually tire or adapt and stop responding. The rod cells can also be affected by this.
When the eyes are then diverted to a blank space, the adapted photoreceptors send out a weak signal and those colors remain muted. However, the surrounding cones that were not being excited by that color are still "fresh", and send out a strong signal. The signal is exactly the same as if looking at the opposite color, which is how the brain interprets it.
Ewald Hering explained how the brain sees afterimages, in terms of three pairs of primary colors. This opponent process theory states that the human visual system interprets color information by processing signals from cones and rods in an antagonistic manner. The opponent color theory suggests that there are three opponent channels: red versus cyan, blue versus yellow, and black versus white. Responses to one color of an opponent channel are antagonistic to those to the other color. Therefore, a green image will produce a magenta afterimage. The green color tires out the green photoreceptors, so they produce a weaker signal. Anything resulting in less green, is interpreted as its paired primary color, which is magenta... "
One of the games I'm looking forward to this year ^^x... really since Diablo 3 is like delayed till God knows when... this is the closest thing to it =3
Has a richer storyline than any of the Diablo series thus far, but with the arcade action hack-slash theme of the series... but only in this 3rd installment is there going to be co-op play.
So far what has been gathered is that 1 copy of the game can allow for 2 players to play on the same screen locally.. which is cool, like a game at the arcades... it can also support up to 4 players online, but it is unclear if you need 4 copies, like L4D2, or 2 copies, with 2 players playing locally is possible...
Either way, I'm quite sold to the idea... guess I will wait till end of May for the release... currently, there is an offer on STEAM for you to pre-oder DS:III and get DS:I and DS:II for free... quite good for those wanting to get the back-story.. for me... I guess I rather wait for an overall discount on the game itself =P
and here's a look at the co-op play locally with 2 players...
really hope it will be as fun as LOTR:ROTK was many years back... really yearn for some co-op play while sitting side by side on the couch... just makes it so much more exciting!!
Months back, I posted about the awesome Teh Tarik Guy from Chatucak, Thailand... now there is another awesome Rojak dude from Penang =3
