How Good Are You at Eyeballing?

“Some people are bothered by pictures on the wall hanging slightly crooked. Others may not even be aware that something may be amiss.”

Play The Eyballing Game and see which group you fall under!

One little note: Your game scores are stored as cookies (that I am assuming) on your computer.  To clear them, go to the About Game page and scroll down to Scoring section.

Test Your Color IQ

How color-smart are you? Take this hue discrimination test and find out.

This test by X-Rite scores you based on how well you can arrange 100 hues in the correct order. You can also compare your score to others in your demographic group in the end.

Lower the score the better. I got a 3! on an uncalibrated digital monitor. Phew, it’d be embarrasing if I got a high (bad) score since this is what I do for a living. Boy, those green hues are tricky. Just out of curiosity, I’d love to know on which color(s) do most people falter.

I scored 3

Be prepared to STARE at the monitor when taking the test. I couldn’t bear to try a second time. My eyes hurt.

Nice marketing tactic by X-Rite who sells color checking and calibration products. I’ll definitely remember the company’s name now.

(Shout out to The Online Photographer where I saw this test.)

Watch Youtube Page EXPLODE (not really)

Just like its innovative game console, the Wii, Nintendo’s Wario Land game promo page on Youtube is simply awesome.

As you play the video, the youtube page reacts to actions in the video and eventually falls apart. That’s not it. While you watch your screen disintegrate, you can grab the falling objects and just throw them around the page!

Watch the video!

Here are some screen shots. But really, go watch the video.

Watching Wario makes me nostalgic of my Super Mario-playing days.
