The newest page of Apocamon is a video
Since a static 400-pixel panel is far too small to depict an army of 200 million angels riding lion-horses across the Iraqi desert, I decided to render this week's page of Apocamon as a "Powers of Ten"-style animation. Enjoy!

EDIT: A new, slower version!

Minor criticism: The concept is great -- but the first couple of seconds move way too quickly to give a sense of the scale.

Yep, I was going to say that too. But very dramatic!

I was going to say you play with yourself, but in English that's not a good thing to say. [laughs] AJ: [laughs] But it's true, Salma.

I slowed it down a little, although I realize that a lot of the details are lost in the YouTube JPEGing.

10 [Anonymous] gave it a 4 : It's a great game, but way too many glitches that ruin gameplay. Finding a system that can run it without a crash is the downfall.

But there's too many unknowns, too many variables. And. I can't find anyone in the Boston area who HAS one, so I can't even get one in my hands to play with it.

Saw this just after watching parts of Dr Strangelove, again.

You bring a fresh look to nuclear hell.

It's wonderful, except of course for those fractions of a second at a beginning, where you move out too fast, like the others said. Had to watch over and over several times to get it.

You're move is that you take something that person said out of the context in which it was said, and cite it as if any fact is clear outside its context.

When you take subtle pot shots like that, it's no wonder you offend. "One would think" this wouldn't have to be pointed out to you.

Me too too. Maybe a couple of seconds panning across the face of one of the formations?

Looks fantastic, as per usual, Patrick.

Is there any way to get notice for us subscribers when the new pages go up?

Wouldn't the formations be distrupted a little by having a bomb go off in the middle of them? There should be dudes flying around all over the place...
