You guys are going to laugh at this one.

When I log in, I go straight to Google's Home Page, and as such, I saw their latest logo look for it.

(http://www.google.com/logos/tetris09.gif)

It's to celebrate the 25 years Tetris has been around. :D

Enjoy!

I always look forward to Google's special logos. I'd thought they'd have one for D-Day (Didn't they have one last year? Can't remember), but the tribute to Tetris is really cool.  One of my all-time favorite old school GameBoy games.  :wow

Okay, can I seriously get some of their designers for my upcoming website?  Cause I just love the one they came up with recently.

It's for Comic-Con 2009.

i pretty sure it was the experiment where he found out that magnetism and electricity are related. I you look at the picture, because in his experiment, he had wires that were placed near a compass and he noticed that when current went through the wire, the compass needle jumped. A pretty big discovery because before that they always thought the 2 forces were separate.

Title: Google's Latest Logo
Post by: pokeplayer984 on May 21, 2010, 11:10:53 PM
I do actually know a few tricks and I do consider myself decent at the game.  Here are the few tricks I know.

Turn when followed

If you've got those pesky ghosts right on your tail, start turning as many times as you can.  The ghosts tend to slow down when they turn while you do not.  It can really save you.

Study the movements

Each ghost has a predetermined path that they will take.  Play a few games and study them carefully so you can plan the safest possible route when you're ready to take them on for real, and in quite a few cases, avoid getting trapped.

Never pass up a multiplier chance

Whether or not you're going for a high score, it's important to get as many of them as close as possible to you before grabbing that flashing pellet.  Once you get the flashing pellet, the ghosts will go backwards of their predetermined path.  Use that to your advantage to get as many as possible before time runs out and you have to start fleeing again.  Gobbling up as many of them as possible will make it a lot safer.

Every version of Pac-man rests on these three principles.  Use them to your every advantage to conquer the game.  I have yet to do that in the original version.  Farthest I've gotten in that is Level 1F. (Level 31.  The game's levels follow the Hexadecimal format.)

As for this Google Version, they got me at Level 6. :P:

You won't believe this people.  The Google PacMan game does NOT use Flash!!!  It's coded in HTML5!  This is a HUGE leap forward in web development.  Hopefully one day soon, we won't have to rely on proprietary plug-ins and software in order to make the web run decently. :yes

Seriously cool idea though. Hopefully they do this for future game anniversaries, like Tetris or Pong or, heaven forbid, Doom :wow

The way it works in the Arcade Version is slightly different.  In Google's version, you can't play the Glitch Level, but in the Arcade Version, you can play it.  However, the Arcade Version's Glitch Level is unbeatable.

Here's the main deal.  In the glitched side of the level, there are 6 pellets that reappear every time you die.  Even if you get all the pellets, the level won't end until you lose all your lives.

Only a rare number of players have made it to the Glitch Level legit.  Out of those, only one has gotten the perfect score in Pac-man.

Just watched and downloaded it.  Funny.  I've seen some silent comedies and it was done just like one of them was.  

Thanks for posting this, otherwise I would have not known about the new Google logo since I use Blackle, a search engine I think done by google with an all black background.  I use it since I find white backgrounds a bit painful to look at, and to bright.

There is a link to youtube in the lower right corner of the video if you want to watch it in a larger format.

Today's Google logo looks interesting. It's basically a wavelength that somewhat resembles the word Google. For example, the "G" part is a large blue arc, and the "l" part is a narrow and tall arc that's colored green.

I really like today's interactive Google Doodle. For the anniversary of the first parachute jump, in this game you guide the parachutist left or right on where to land. There are all kinds of places to land: in a city, in an empty field, on the water, in a boat, up in a tree, on an iceberg with penguins, even on the back of an elephant. :lol  Yeah, I've pretty much spent the past hour trying out all kinds of possibilities. (Where you start is always random, so it's never the same twice in a row.)

Another neat Google logo today: a crossword puzzle (today is the 100th anniversary of the first ever crossword puzzle)

Out of 78 words, I've so far been able to figure out only about a dozen of them. I don't want to lose progress, so I'll be leaving that window open on my laptop until I've completely solved it (or I simply give up).
Title: Google's Latest Logo
Post by: Kor on December 20, 2013, 11:57:26 PM
I got I think 10 or 12.  Not very smart since doing well at crossword puzzles takes a very intelligent person.  not surprised since I never do well at crossword puzzles.  Though i do like to do them occasionally.
Title: Google's Latest Logo
Post by: The Chronicler on December 21, 2013, 04:10:10 PM
Sorry, I failed to count the numbers that were both across and down, so there's actually 88 words on this crossword puzzle. Right now, I've managed to get nearly half of them. Not bad, but the ones left to go are really tricky. I'll keep trying, though. :)

Edit (12/22): I have now gotten 50 words. Having so many letters filled in for many of the ones I've yet to get should make it a little easier, but I seriously doubt I'll be getting much more. Heck, some words are missing only one letter, and I still can't figure them out. Though you have to admit, for someone who doesn't do crossword puzzles very often, I've done pretty good so far.

Edit (12/23): Managed to figure out one of the big words, which allowed me to get a few smaller ones as well. I'm now up to 59 out of 88. My brother says he had solved the whole thing, thanks to Google searches, but I won't do that; it feels like cheating, to me.

According to the video in that blog, this is the first time Google has made a really significant change to its logo since 1999, so I'd say its understandable that not everyone is going to appreciate such a major change to something that has stayed mostly the same for 16 years. Personally, all I can say is that it doesn't seem all that bad to me. It'll take some time getting used to it, but overall, not bad.

I can't say like or dislike Google's new logo. There's just nothing to like or dislike about it. As others have said, it's pretty bland and it doesn't have the same identity that the old one had.

It's ok, I prefer the previous one.  Doubtless they'll change this new one eventually.

So the latest Google Doodle is my favorite so far. It is a puzzle game where you must place pieces of Ludwig van Beethoven's music in correct sequence. Each little puzzle is followed by a little scene which shows Beethoven on his way to a music concert which he is conducting. Along the way, he keeps getting into trouble and losing his sheet music. It's very entertaining, and done really well.

Google has one up for Wilbur Scoville today! It's an adorable little game where you fight peppers with ice cream. Also reminds me of the first time I tried Scorpion Pepper salsa. Yikes! :oops

Today's Google logo is inspired by the recent news of seven (that's right, 7) earth-sized planets discovered around a single star, not far from us. Awesome news, and an admittedly cute Google doodle to celebrate it.

I know it's awesome that over 229 trillion miles away three of them have life on those planets. So we're not alone in this world.

Today's Google logo celebrates the 30th anniversary of the "world wide web". I've recently developed a mild interest in the early years of computers and the internet (late 80s and early 90s), so I found today's logo to be quite interesting.

Today was the official revealing of the very first direct image ever taken of a black hole, and today's Google logo has a rather funny take on celebrating that.

(I'm really starting to wish there was a way to post images of these logos so that we could still see them many days later.)

Perhaps you could try using a screenshot or (if you are on Windows 10) use Windows key + Shift + S to activate snipping a portion of the screen, then save it through MS Paint and upload it here as an attachment?

For some reason I never get to see these images when I visit Google. Perhaps because I am Dutch and they have different images for every country?

Yeah, same here. Just regular Google logo for me. I don't really pay much attention to them anyway so no biggie. Although I would've liked to see the black hole logo myself.

It was pretty fun. Basically had the photo of the black hole with all the letters getting sucked into it.

Still pretty crazy to think that we have an actual image of a black hole though! Very cool.

With today being the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, of course there was going to be a Google doodle of it. I normally don't bother watching the accompanying video if there is one, but I made an exception this time.

For future reference, here's the video:

Today is not only the Winter Solstice (for the Northern Hemisphere), but also the "Great Conjunction" of Jupiter and Saturn reaches it maximum today, in which their appearance together in the night sky is the closest it's been in nearly 800 years.

With the Olympics now ongoing in Tokyo, Google decided to celebrate by creating a Japanese style RPG game where you get to compete in various Olympic sports. I haven't yet had time to try it out, but thank goodness I can link directly to these Google Doodles and check them out sometime later rather than just go to the main page while it's still up.

https://www.google.com/doodles/doodle-champion-island-games-begin (https://www.google.com/doodles/doodle-champion-island-games-begin)

Is anyone here interested in trying this game? If so, what did you think of it?

Check out today's Google Doodle, in honor of Gerald Lawson and featuring a bunch of games that you can play, edit, and even build your own:
https://www.google.com/doodles/gerald-jerry-lawsons-82nd-birthday (https://www.google.com/doodles/gerald-jerry-lawsons-82nd-birthday)

I don't have time to try out many of these games today, so I'll definitely come back to this link later to try them all.

Edit: Apparently, once you start playing from that link, you'll want to go back to the main menu and go to settings to find the tutorial, if this is your first time checking out this collection of games and its built-in editor.
