You could also get the original

Huh, I had no idea that was the original. Apparently I'm not alone:

Threes creators express puzzlement, sadness over 2048 and rampant cloning

Threes, clones and cornflakes: A view on 'casual games'

It's arguably unfair to them that their work has been cloned so rampantly, but on the other hand, you can't patent an idea, and rightfully so.

The first article I saw on 2048 said how it was conceptually similar to threes, though not the same. However, threes (on iOS, anyway) is utterly offputting in the slow way it starts, the sounds and music that it inflicts on you, how it takes you immediately to a login screen for an online game centre, and the like. I doubt I'll even try playing it.

I like the way the kid sprang forth with full luxurious hair.

Have some horses hugging each other. Clearly just upset that their riders are in combat, not fighting themselves!

The Male Counter Point:

A real woman is a man's best friend.

She will Never stand him up and never let him down.

She will reassure him when he feels insecure and comfort him after a bad day.

She will inspire him to do things he never thought he could do; to live without fear and forget regret.

She will enable him to express his deepest emotions and give in to his most intimate desires.

She will make sure he always feels as though he's the most handsome man in the room and that he is the most confident, sexy, seductive and invincible...

No wait... Sorry... I'm thinking of whiskey. It's whiskey that does all that shit.

Is the car chasing the rabbit or the rabbit chasing the car?

I picture the car doing the chasing - like in greyhound racing.

Cooptional podcast (particularly TotalBiscuit) reported that 2048 is a ripoff of 1024 which is a ripoff of threes. Plus he tried to demonstrate you could do well at 2048 just by swiping the same way over and over, whereas threes put some thought into that and tried to make it more varied/challenging.

I don't have a horse in the race, fwiw.

The order of frames in the .gif shows the rabbit chasing the car, for whatever that is worth.

It's also not funny if the car is chasing the rabbit.

Well even if the rabbit is behind, it's catching up.

Watch to the end. It's called the Livens Large Gallery Flame Projector and was a weapon designed and used in WWI. It was installed in a cavern below ground and the Projector Head was designed to telescope up and sent a wall of fire towards the German Trenches. It is believed to have been used on the first day of the Battle of The Somme.

Kinda surprised how close she matches the original voice/video. I'm not really a fan of musical movies but they just seem to be so good that I can't *not* watch them. I really liked the original song too

Speaking of...

Masterpiece · « **Reply #4634 on:** 17 Apr 2014, 07:37 »

Kyomi, she matches the original well because she's singing in a completely different key.

kyomi · « **Reply #4635 on:** 17 Apr 2014, 09:55 »

Ok.. so my ears suck at noticing that... but it sounds close to the same to me :/

Masterpiece · « **Reply #4636 on:** 17 Apr 2014, 10:56 »

Okay, the difference is not as large as my post makes it seem, but her version is slightly deeper.

I found this whilst on a Down Under kick. Wikipedia describes it as 'a tale of Andrej, a Russian proletarian who travels to Finland to search for a job and better life in a welfare state'
