Rules were the same:

• Time: 1 hour

• Instruments: same for each of us (choosen before start)
• Loop: it should be 30 sec loop
• Use Propellerhead Reason without any MIDI keyboard
• Use just 2 basic (standard) Reason Refills

Grow Cube

How good are you at “brain games” ? This game will test it for you. Your task is very simple. There are 10 things like water, people, flowers, ball and so. They have to be places in a right order or you can’t do next step. If you can’t go futher, games end with informations about levels, which you made. Try it yourself, if you can find the right order. Very addictive.

Three Beasts In One!

One time, one site have made an Photoshop contest. It was was about to make 3-4 different animals into one strange beast, as in the themepost (need to mate at least three, but no more than four animals). NO actual mating (as bizarre as that would be). Your goal was to make the blend as seamless as possible – talking nature photography here, not montage. Sounds really strange and hard to believe ? Look at some pictures and look for more than 60 pictures, that tooks a part in this contest. This site is also know for other contests, amazing pictures, galleries and tutorials.
