Some sweet upcoming new game concepts

I just came across a few videos of experimental game concepts coming to market (hopefully). 

First, The Unfinished Swan. I really like how the game gives me a sense of wandering around in the dark, but with pure white.

Achron, which absolutely blew me away. I have a soft spot for time travel and alternate time lines. A RTS (real time strategy) game that utilizes time travel to alter time lines sounds amazing.

 

I also have a soft spot for platformers, such as LittleBigPlanet and of course Mario.  In this game, you play a shadow figure and must manipulate light sources and objects in a 3d world to modify the shadows on the wall that you navigate to reach a goal.

Some Cool statues from around the world

I like to post random stuff, what can I say?

I recently learned about a couple statues from around the world, the currently-tallest and formerly-tallest, and thought I would share, since they are widely unknown in the west.

For reference, The Statue of Liberty stands 151 feet tall, 305 if you include the base.

 

Then there’s The Motherland Calls, located in Volgograd, Russia. It stands 279 feet tall, including a 108 ft sword. And nipples the size of your head.

I think it is probably the most awesome statue in the world.

 

Last, but certainly not least, is apparently the tallest statue in the world currently.  So unknown, I don’t even know what it’s called or have any references to back up my claims. As far as I can tell, it is identified only by these Chinese symbols: 鲁山 佛

There’s the google Images search, though.

My, the world sure is full of things!
