I Love the Smell of Dry Erase in the Morning…

Check out this interactive experience from ENESS. What you’re seeing in the clip above is a real live demonstration of their physics-based engine responding to its real life surroundings. The computer sees and recognizes the black shapes on the whiteboard and the virtual ball behaves accordingly. And considering how much fresh dry erase marker juice you’ll need to use to play, you should get a nice little buzz after a few rounds.

Gamer Proposes through Hacked Chrono Trigger

[youtube 7_HMLvLB7b0]

We may be nerds, but we come up with some of the most romantic proposals EVAR.

Here’s the back story:

On October 17th, 2008, I proposed to my (now) Fiance. Originally I wanted to retun to the site of our first date, Mount Baker, near Bellingham Washington. Sadly, there was no discrete way to get her out there. So I turned to the next best thing, digitally recreating the mountain!

But why stop there? I figured I’d try and recreate many of our other favorite memories — stargazing, dancing, even her favorite song lyrics (from the Princess Bride). I’m a college student who is studying Computer Science, and I wanted to do something unique that used my talents, so I did some research on Rom hacking, as she was playing through Chrono Trigger….

When her name appeared on screen (blurred in this video), she glanced over to me (on one knee, with the ring out), wondering, “How did they get my name in this game?” When she saw the ring, she reread the proposal, nodded yes, and said, “You are such a huge nerd! I love this!”
