Hoogerbrugge - Crazed Neurotic Interactive Flash Animations

This Hoogerbrugge fellow is one mad son of a gun. I wish I had his imagination. Over the years he has created some very weird interactive animations. His Modern Living series, which he created over a 3 year period includes features a crazy bloke ripping his face off to reveal a swarm of flies underneath and he stumbles about drunk, hiccuping and puking. His Nails series features another man and a load more strangeness. He headbutts himself, acts like a dog on a car bonnet and pulls himself into his legs and begins dancing.

Disappearing horses

Legs!

Waste half an hour here.

SamePhysics - A Kool tetris style game with shake funk

I am just starting a new post whence I am attempting to write a game a week for the next year. You can find my very basic blog here. For my first week I have nicked a load of code from Emanuele Feronato's blog. E has been writing this blog for 3 years and has just got into the top 40,000 websites in the world. That might not seem like much, but if you consider there are 7,003,343,3223,223,222,113 websites in the world I reckon that is a pretty good achievement.

So to help get E a couple more hits, this is SamePhysics, a difficult tetris-ish style game in which you attempt to get rid of connecting blocks of the same colour. If you get into trouble then you use the Shake-o-meter (patent-thingied (c) - Liveo). Give it a try.

Crazy Hailstorm - Destroy buildings with giant balls of ice

This is a very original and unique little toy. You control a little wind cursor thangie-ma-jig and try to hold a piece of hail (is that the correct term) in the air until it is big enough to smash a building up. Again, my command of the english language has failed me. Just try it for yourself.

Flash Music Toy - Tone Matrix, 808s, 909s and loads more, all in Flash.

This is possibly the most groovesome and funkalistic toy I have found yet (well, @alvinx told me all about it). Cubase for the pussy generation. Mess around with all sorts of digital musical wizardary, all from within a Flash box. If you don't know what you're doing, keep messing. When you get into it, the world of beeps is your oyster....

Home Run - How far can you drumble when you're stunk?



More highbrow entertainment here. The concept to these works of art is to see how far you can get this drunken young fella' before he falls over in a stupor. I managed to get him 45m.

Tenori - On: Crazy 21st Instrument from Yamaha.

This isn't the usual free online toy I feature, but I just needed to show you this beast. I need one now! The site says "Media artist Toshio Iwai and Yamaha have collaborated to design a new digital musical instrument for the 21st century, TENORI-ON. A 16x16 matrix of LED switches allows everyone to play music intuitively, creating a "visible music" interface."

Bit expensive though, Might try to make one one day, like the one aM lab made.
