Marc LeBlanc & The Girl w/ Error-Message Eyes

This is what happens when del.icio.us isn’t working. I find cool things and can’t add them to my virtual brain. Makes me grumpy.

» Cool thing #1: This comes via Wonderland. After a Second Life system crash, many users were seen wandering with missing objects as part of their avatars. This girl’s eyes went all 404 on her. The creepiest part is that if you squint, they look normal.

» Cool thing #2: During some research into feedback loops, I stumble upon the collected game design rants of Marc LeBlanc. The veteran game designer has kept all of his lecture notes, materials, and powerpoint presentations over the years. At the moment I’m thumbing through Formal Design Tools: Feedback Systems and the Dramatic Structure of Competition. It’s a damn good read, and I look forward to perusing his site more fully when I have the time.

» Cool thing #3: Meteorry’s Flickr account, in which he has been “collecting” Space Invaders in Europe. Incidentally, I only found this while searching for a cool “404” photo for this post. Yay!

» Place de la Bourse (PA_404 error) from Meteorry. Thanks!
