The last man to ever set foot there, perhaps. So very cool!
The task was amazing enough in itself, every step of the way. Now getting votes from you guys leaps it to a whole new level of resonance and possibility.
So happy to be here...
Scanners are underrated.
Who´d have imagined the whirring sound of a kiss... Ah, the cold touch of glass against our cheeks!
"I kissed you and I it was like this blinding light all over me, wow!"
After I started reading this completion it was impossible to stop. Wincing while going through almost every paragraph, shoulders up, wanting it to be over, to just read that you had lifted off those damn welding googles already. Such a carefully crafted task and so much left unsaid, I feel: the way your breathing would have sounded on the spoken notes, never a single "I sat on a bench for a while" and the time flying by unnoticed; nothing about manouvering the cane on stairs or about bruises found afterwards. Just on passing,
cafes with outdoor seating, signs, bike racks, city utility cabinets, newspaper racks, bus stop benches, parking meters, planters, light poles, utility poles, trees, broken pavement, traffic cones, and a dense flow of pedestrians, dogs, and skate-boards on the sidewalkevery one of them a puzzle that was deciphered and left behind. I can only come with adjectives from old SF magazines: Astounding! Amazing! Startling! Astonishing! Stirring!
Ah, and the map placard caption is my favorite.
Yeah, there were not official Zorro masks, or flags, and I would have wanted to know the score, but I have a very soft spot for Calvinball, so the completion to this task would have gotten my vote regardless. Plus, a version of any game so that it can be played sitting on the floor in a bar is always useful.
I might be going to SF on the 25th, any potential Calvinball games then? Cyber Kitty said she was game. I guess one could always play Calvinball at Lowteck party...
I was hoping that you´ll provide access to any of the above, would have been so cool... Pic of the location, perhaps? Loved the write up, and the play is awesome
Henry worked so seriously hard on this one: the voluntary gesture of the fingers curling down to find an already familiar kind of touch. And the surprise upon the unexpected touch of his own hand by his cheek (where did that came from?).
(Epic wardrobe too! The whale outfit, and just the right hue of purple in the first one.)
I never though I would miss Minnesota because of a dozen doors! Our last house had the same kind, all over. They got stuck in winter and got slammed a lot on the summer to keep mosquitoes out. But they were of course a lot less beautiful than yours. Master!
A revolution to join, raining votes, high level players declaring me their friend... it doesn´t get much better than that.
And if Mink is right, my mom can help me polish my css skills!
Wonder how many of the people riding the train commented on it to someone else, and how far the wave of happy surprise traveled...
"All together now!" is the best part :)
