dmxratedWent with Mom and Dad yesterday to see Gravity. Mom was talking about it before, and mentioned that it's got special 3-D effects that one can only experience at theaters.
All three of us were sure to pick up a pair of 3-D glasses, and even before the movie started, I could already see everything in layers. I found myself blinking whenever something headed for the screen.
Even though this is the first time I actually experienced 3-D, it isn't the first time I've tried out a pair of 3-D goggles. The first time was with this Leonardo da Vinci game for Windows (can't remember the exact title), which we got on Christmas of '94. It had these three mini-games called Flee the Fortress, The Icarus Game, and Deep Sea Diving, along with a timeline of Renaissance painters among other stuff. That came with a paper pair with two colored lenses, one red and one blue. (I was unable to re-find it online, but Mom said that she was actually wondering about that when I asked Dad about it. I also left a message on Brian's cell asking if he remembers it.)
The second time was during Nickelodeon's NoggleVision week from September 15-21, 1997, during which its 8:00 shows at the time were supposed to showcase some kind of 3-D effects that could only be seen with a pair of Noggle-Goggles. Me, Brian, and Marie were sure to obtain a pair each from a box of Kraft macaroni-and-cheese, but I didn't notice any real visual differences from regular viewing.
In either case, can't really tell if I wasn't paying attention or if I just plain didn't notice anything different while wearing the goggles.

Brian has shared some kind of map-designing program with me yesterday, called Tiled Map Editor. Gonna try it out today.
