i don't know what the hell just happened.

pretty ain't it? all innocent looking too. well, it's a LIE.



there i was, just innocently looking at the magnetic north website, minding my own buisness, marvelling at how scrolling reveals patterns on the page and the nice light box page layout style used which reminds me of oh so happy times hiding in darkrooms, when i started clicking around.

than all hell broke loose.
it's nice in a "what the hell is going on what is that oh did i break it" kind of way.
it uses all kinds of flash trickery beyond my knowledge or understanding, you click the flowery buttons and everything turns and spins and then more buttons appear or little graphics or pencils or giant mouse cursors, with weird talking and clunking going on in the background.





it made me go "squeee". i like how there is all this mayhem underlying the nice presentable site, and how it's all unleashed with an unknowing click.

video games live...

their fans are awesome.



spot the fio and i'll give you a cookie.*

the actual concert itself was also really good, although i still haven't been converted to halo (i saw the man who composed the music and he sang the intro music and they did music from all the halos, hate me fanboys), i may now be atleast interested in metal gear solid and some other games now just based on their music.

another cool bit was when the orchestra played the music to space invaders in real time as a fan ran around the stage with a sensor on him, controling the space ship.

i also ate lots of noodles.

*i might not.
