Firewatch

I just finished playing Firewatch.  The story is good, well voice acted, and beautiful. It only takes about 3 or 4 hours to play it through.

There’s an extra money spinner that’s a bit silly that goes with the game - at a point early on you pick up a disposable camera with only a few of the snaps used up. You can take shots as you hike around the country side, and later have them printed for real. I really like the real world/game world bleed through.

They’re like some weird alternative life holiday snaps from when I was a park ranger for a summer.

Here’s mine.  As with real life, I wish I’d taken more.

SCIENTISTS GAVE THIS PREYING MANTIS TINY 3D GLASSES TO TEST ITS DEPTH PERCEPTION

The mantises were then shuffled into a “3D insect cinema” and shown computer-generated images of different targets moving toward them. The results will help scientists get a better understanding in how 3D vision evolved!
