- ultrablue 10y agoGenius!
- po1nter 10y agoWe're /r/videos now?
- aaron695 10y agoSince we are not I guess the conservation can be it's obviously fake. Or else why do they keep cutting it? It's just a series of small rube machines (aka luck pot shots) faked together? The wood grains look pretty similar to me between shots. Not to say the art of a fake movies is valueless, the masses and what they believe are funny to watch, but not up to HN standards about truth and hacking and engineering.
- 91bananas 10y agoWhat exactly is fake about it? It's clearly not intended to be portrayed as a continuous system... It's just a series of cool shit man
- eckza 10y agoRead the info on the video man, the author refers to it as a 'screen link'. Nobody's trying to fool anyone.
- ygra 10y agoAs the creator commented: »I know this thing isn't a real "Rube Goldberg" because it was not taken in a single shot. I tried but it was almost impossible because tricks with magnets are really unpredictable.«
- NikhilVerma 10y agoNo we are not. The day we start voting videos of soflo antonio we will become. This is an insanely creative video, i have not something like this in many years so i thought the creative minds at hn would like it. Maybe it will inspire someone to create something different, who knows?
- sethrin 10y agoTo my mind, this qualifies as 'kinetic sculpture'.
- sethammons 10y agoFrom one of the comments, this needs to be a game / app. It has the feel of Magic Pen or Cut the Rope. My game dev skills are non-existent, but a game with these physics, blocks, magnets and marbles, etc, would be a fun playground. Create these kenetic sculptures and share, or modify them to pass a level.
- benjoffe 10y agoThere are games of this sort, the earliest I'm aware of is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Incredible_Machine_%28series%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Incredible_Machine_%28seri...
- nexxer 10y agoTIM is indeed incredible, I remember spending many hours on the PC playing it. The proposed The Incredible Magnet should be mobile, a dumbed down subset for casual puzzle solving. Move the magnetic sphere from X to Y using magnets, pulleys, and rubber bands!
- jagermo 10y agoIt was my Minecraft, building strange and funny contraptions and stuff. So good.
- CPLX 10y agoFirst reaction: How the hell are people voting lame videos onto the HN front page? Ugh, this place it turning into Reddit. Second reaction: OMG this is mesmerizing. Wait how much time did I just burn watching the entire thing?
- etrautmann 10y agoThis is insanely creative - very worth watching.
- sago 10y agoI find myself wanting to sing "pitagora suichi' at the end of every screen.
