Perkasie's Got Talent

Hi there! In case you didn't know, I created newgrounds. No, it wasn't made by some giant company - just some dumb kid who now has help. I also co-founded the Behemoth; we made Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers. Icon by Pegosho, banner by OmenaKettu.

Perkasie's Got Talent

Posted by TomFulp - February 19th, 2008

So I'm at my desk, TRYING TO MAKE THE KNIGHTS STOP FALLING OUT OF BSP LINES, when Bob calls out "Hey these guys are from Perkasie!"

He was watching a video on YouTube about two "kinetic artists" who set up a long domino chain at the Brattleboro Museum and Art Center in Vermont. I walked up and was like, "OH MY GOD! That's Mike Perrucci! I ate lunch with that guy!"

Apparently, Mike and his brother also set up the domino intro for Penn and Teller's Showtime series back in 2005. I remember Mike used to make these really exact maps of Mario levels... Good to see his methodical talents have paid off!

Watch the video!!!

UnderARock 2008-02-19 17:42:57

Wow, 9 hours.
They are pretty damn patient, It wouldve been cool to see it in person

Shikamaru999 2008-02-19 17:47:14

Damn! They sure do have talent! When they used the crayon to continue it was hilarous! How do you find this stuff?!

I saw one up that took up like 4 pool tables.
they were all attached by pool cues and balls, so the domino would push the ball down a stick ramp, and it would roll to the next table, and start knocking balls into holes, and dominoes all over. Really cool stuff

XxpanicwithmeXx 2008-02-19 18:31:38

wow...i wouldve given up on that after like 5 min.

Sir-Nuts 2008-02-19 18:33:28

They sure have a lot of talent, and patience =). I like making domino chains, although mine are very short and I use only one colour... It's very fun.

When did you have lunch with him?

TomFulp 2008-02-19 18:33:28

Oops I should have been more specific... We both grew up in Perkasie and went to the same gradeschool - high school.

saltovergray 2008-02-19 19:19:23

steph2568 2008-02-19 19:23:20

Rooster 2008-02-19 19:36:28

OCD is a blessing in diguise.

WarSyndicate 2008-02-19 22:45:03

They're probably seeing you with NG and they're like "OH MY GOD! That's Tom Fulp! I ate lunch with that guy!"

kidray76 2008-02-20 02:56:06

That was interesting, just camera man could of gotten way better shots.

any event, that was fun, just 9 hours for about a minute, whew.

ZekeySpaceyLizard 2008-02-20 05:21:20

its amazing, how far we've come, yet still continue to reinvent the wheel

SatanBrain 2008-02-20 10:28:03
