Amazingly *skillful origami modeling. He should have used temperature sensitive inks so it could actually change colors instead of just using different colored lights.
*quality modeling

Taste is at least 50% psychology.
I once made a raspberry sorbet. Yes, it tasted very much like raspberry (because it was mostly raspberry) and if you work long enough with fruits, it's characteristic shade of red gives you a good hint what it is.
I like to let people taste stuff I make without telling them what they're eating. And then I ask them what they thought they ate. I gave several people that sorbet and out of 12 people, two or three gave me the correct answer what it was on the first try. Every red fruit you can imagine was mentioned by the others, one guy even told me it could be watermelon.
Another time I made a Cassis Panna Cotta (Cassis is french for black currant, you illiterate crouton). That stuff is purple like rain and Joker suits. We served it in a room that was lighted in blue and violet, like a Dario Argento movie. The Panna Cotta looked brown under the colored light. Some people thought they were eating something with chocolate in it.
In both examples I was dealing with people who made a living with selling and producing food.
That's how trustworthy your brain is when it comes to taste. Sometimes you can't tell raspberries from watermelons. And that's why the wine business is at least 50% bullshit.

So when people report seeing flashing colored lights on UFOs, the aliens are communicating with robots on the ground? Interesting...

I'll vote based on the topic, not the heinous colored lights and gag-worthy sound bites.

A decent compilation but lacking some key games. One example is the original Unreal, which was the first FPS to incorporate colored light sources.


Quake 2 was out almost 6 months earlier.

Unreal definitely deserves a spot in this video, though, for technical achievements if nothing else. It was a very impressive engine in its day.

This is brilliant. Some serious skill displayed here... I used to know every single map in Quake but it has been so long since I played it...

Even better is Quake Done Quick 100%. I probably should've sifted that one instead.


I think QDQ 100% gets tedious and doesn't have the elegance and frenetic pace of these speed runs.

I liked the colored lighting that had been added to this version of the game, I didn't really notice the other improvements but I'm sure it would have looked worse without them.

I already explained what I meant. He won't allow Flash on his mobile devices, because he believes HTML5 will be superior. But why not have both? Why not empower your users? He is quoted as saying Flash is the number one reason Macs crash. Okay, even if that's true, wouldn't it be in your best interest to work with the vendor to help improve the product for your users' sake? It's like he's holding top secret documents and he won't let anyone have a look. I can understand not wanting to pay licensing fees or whatnot to get DirectX on your platform, and I wasn't trying to assert one way or the other which is better (DX or OGL).

Back in the day, I was all for OpenGL because it was the open-sourced (although, not entirely) underdog, and I loved it when a game would come out in OpenGL. Quake is one example I can think of at the moment. It was awesome. The colored lighting was one option that easily made it stand out, where DirectX barely handled poly accelleration.

Then, one day, DirectX progressed faster than OpenGL did, and every developer embraced it as the language of choice. Now, it's really hard to get anything in OpenGL, and if OpenGL has come to a point where it rivals DirectX, feature- and performance-wise, I would gladly use it over DirectX, regardless of the platform, as I use both Macs and Windows. Although, for gaming, at the moment, Windows stands high above MacOS in that regard.

Not a Jedi. Sith because of the red color light saber.

I had one of those color wheels! ..on the ground in front of the drum kit. If you older sifters remember the aluminum trees popular in the 60s, then you recognize the color wheel.

(for the youngins.. Aluminum trees back in the day couldn't deal w/ the heat of christmas lights. (melt or worse) So they were sold with a lamp w/ a rotating plastic disc in front alternating colors. Pointed toward the tree, the tree would reflect the colored light.... Groovy )

Colored lighting FTW!

Someone should invent some sort of traffic device to help these people. Maybe have it use colored lights .. like red, yellow and green for example.

There's in building in my home town that displays colored (static) light displays at Xmas. The rooms aren't actually lit. It's just a colored light next to the individual window. So, you could do this one any building. You just need a light next to the window that has good response time. This may also explain while the "right left" problem above. There may be several lights on each window for this display.
