- canadianguy33, on 10/12/2007, -0/+35That's cool. I wonder how many kids are going to have a seizure watching this thing though.
- rancemo, on 10/12/2007, -8/+40WARNING: DO NOT TRY THIS WHILE DRIVING!
- dmron, on 10/12/2007, -1/+24That's pretty cool. Takes a bit too long though. :)
- laurentlasalle, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18I suggest not listening to the music, it makes it worse to my opinion...
- devindotcom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_aftereffect
for an explanation of the phenomenon. - EssPii, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Any ever played Guitar Hero? A similar thing happens after watching a song get played and you look away.
- fatalfury, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11OMG everything gets all bent for me
- brianjameskirk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9This is great. Much safer than those homemade hallucinogenics I've been cooking.
- lechatron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9the first few seconds are free, you've gotta pay if you want the full trip.
- lechatron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzSRVgF501M
- khag7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8you dont have to do it for the full 90 seconds. do it for half or evena quarter of the time.
- Bara, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I dont play GH but I have a friend who played it all day when I went to his dorm. Naturally, I'd watch. After I look away, everything looks like it's zooming towards me :p
- lazlonger, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Baloney, it's very much like LSD, or I should say it's very like one small aspect of LSD. Optics are only a side effect compared to the bobing and weaving of concepts and realities within the mind. But undulating walls are a standard visual result of psychadelics. Been there, tripped on that.
- titlesaysitall, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Now my bamboo plant is looks ***** up, like it was on crack, more like I was on crack.
- moiety, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Not bad, a couple seconds of "weirdness" after looking away. Mostly it just gave me a headache though. Le ouch.
- alienSkull, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9does the illusion work backwards on the mirror site??
- jeffiscool, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I guess in somewhat the same way as the Mario Kart comment, every once in a while I go insane and play Lumines for 3-4 hours during the day (which is only worth 2-3 full games in challenge mode these days), then when I try to go to sleep that night, I can't stop picturing a lot of different situations in the game, and I essentially play through it in my mind for 30 seconds before snapping out of it.
- wsewell, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Can someone post a mirror, stoopid work filter.
- wyleyrabbit, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6That was trippy. Things around my room started growing. Wierd.
- super_spyder, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6i was afraid it was going to be one of those things that jumps out so i just stared at it out of the corner of my eye bracing for the thing that would make me jump.
- tablatronix, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8This is nothing like LSD.
- Lynx1234567890, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6When does it wear off? The room looks like I am on LSD for the past 20 minutes.
- SPARTACVS, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Ever seen Pirates of Silicon Valley? Jobs was sure one wacked out hippy back in the day.
- Syndrome, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I wanted to check through the comments here before I watched it to make sure nothing was going to jump out at me. It was neat.
- tek1024, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Does anyone remember AcidWarp for DOS? Put on some techno (because back then it was all techno, no house, no trance, no breaks ;) and let it run full-screen on your high-powered 80x486 with SVGA (!!) video card....

Does this make me old? :) - NoNom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2When i looked away, my room didn't look any different but when I looked back at my monitor it was all wavy.
- GreenLantern33, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Wow. I looked over at my TV and it melted down.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3its like a really short really mild mushroom trip an by short i mean 20 seconsd
- monkeymad2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2If you look at something reflective...it's like "Woah".
- Philbert, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Ah yes, I remember that, it was fun, but I think there were a couple of similar ones that were more interactive. I yhad forgotten about it until now though, thanks for the reminder.
- Dabisu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2All I got was a headache. =(
- FishPoisonCon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2 it worked for me, for about 5 seconds - but does it count as an hallucination? (Hallucination: Perception of visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, or gustatory experiences *without an external stimulus*) the pattern gets burned in & when you look at something it distorts whatever s "behind" it... illusion?
- Philbert, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I've seen something very much like this a long time ago. it also reminds me of an old DOS program called CN112 (Computer Narcotics) that was supposed to make you feel like you were on various drugs (112 of them) by playing weird noises through headphones. you could even mix and match to make your own designer drugs.
I stopped watching anyhow, I got distracted by a link on that page to a girl doing a strip-tease. - kingygk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This would have been better with the Excorsist girl demon posessed picture at the end screaming really really loud. Like those power points ive seen of her. And I actually suspected she would make and appearance in this :) It works great on a lcd screen
- yahoofrom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2nothing happens except my eyes bleed.
- kandiflip, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2it looks like the first wave of a mushroom high..
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This has nothing on DMT.
- AhronZombi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3i think LSD or mushrooms would be alot more fun
- MalDON, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Those are some NSFW ads they got there.
- TridenTBoy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Weird..Doesn't work on me for that long. I watched the whole video a lot. Correctly too. Then I looked at my TV and it started to dance :D But then I looked at other things..Then the effect wore off completly.
- bedheadben, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1crazy!
- Philbert, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Actually more like shrooms
- ragnarok, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1that has so got to be bad for your eyes
- Ayavaron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm pretty sure I'm also missing most of the effects of the video. I get a radial blur for like a half a second and then it goes away. I was disapointed.
- MadHatter563, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1haha that is trippy.. I had to do it twice cuz i loved it!!! Crazy...
- gfixler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Where'd the rest of my comment go? I said something like "...where it would be
- hemo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You might want to use the Flash for better quality:
http://digg.com/videos_animation/The_better_optical_illusion_strobe - Mac2492, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It helps to know how long the video is so you don't get distracted thinking about that. It's a little over a minute. Just keep staring if you want the "intended" effect. =)...
- 0zzy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That was crazy.
