Maze Walkthrough

noreply@blogger.com (Presuming Ed) — Sun, 04 Apr 2021 10:14:00 +0000

This is really cool - an art project that lets you walk around corridors from Sci-Fi movies.

"I’ve been collecting corridors from sci-fi movies for almost 3 years now as part of an artistic project.

For ‘Maze Walkthrough’, I’ve selected some of those corridors, made 3D reproductions of them, and built a virtual maze putting them together. The final result is a desktop application that puts the user inside the maze, allowing him or her to navigate and explore it, kind of a FPS video-game without the shooting."

You can download the app here (Windows and OSX)

From the Archive - A review of Blair's 16 Million Reserve (The world's hottest chili powder)

He added a single grain to some tomato soup:

"After about 5 mintues of boiling, my soup was ready to go. First bite was not that hot, so I had the wife take a bite. She threatened divorce once she could speak again, so I tried it again. Then it was hot!"
