Where am I?

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.

This amnesia dust smells like gunpowder...

Did anyone else think the vaunted Illusion #3, even with the swatch pulled 'down', the center pieces didn't look the same color? Close, but not exactly same. One was still more yellow than the other.

 

The others tho - I've seen a lot of stuff like that before. My brother was really into them...plus I've been a guinea pig for...stuff.

they got seriously angry if you kept asking them about the Androsynth

If I hold the mask over the picture for a while, I can see that they are the same colour. But if I just move the mask over it for a few seconds, they still look different. I guess that's evidence of the power of the illusion.

 

The scary picture scared me. :blink: But then, they say that a certain amount of fear and surprises is actually good for your health. :D It was funny - I'm just glad I wasn't drinking my tea at the time.

We've actually managed to derail and come back ontrack. Amazing, these Muggles! Anyhow, that moving picture thing creeps me out also.

 

I wan't too terribly impressed with the first set of optical illussions, but I thought the 3rd looked really cool. It worked for me the first try. I think the second one is the most impressive.

So I'm curious how many people can see those 'pictures' in the 3D random-noise looking displays that were the rage for a short time.

 

I never could.

There is a trick you can use. Draw two dots on top of the pictures. Staring at those dots until there are exactly three of them. Then move you eyes towards the picture, and you should have it.

 

Try it next time -_- , it might work.

I've been told 'how to's' before...tho I don't remember if I ever tried that exact one. Was a while ago.

 

But doesn't matter. I still don't see them. :thumbsup:

I can't see them either. And I recently played an adventure game that had those pictures as one of its puzzles. I had to ask my girlfriend to help me! Humiliating. Oddly enough, I don't remember which game it was, but seeing as I spent part of my summer at my mom's house, I'm guessing it was one of hers.

:p It's always quite easy for me to see them, since I have a book full of those. After a while, I can even see 3D features in tablecloth, bathroom floor tiles or anything else with repetitive patterns :thumbsup: .

 

If you read those patterns following the same way you read those 3D-pictures, you can see the patterns get much larger and two layers of them appear :) . (No, I was not smoking anything when I did it.)

Give it a try when nobody else is around.
