There was a musical toy that turned jellyfish into touchscreen pianos (Electroplankton), a story about a secret government agency that solved problems by singing (Elite Beat Agents), and an epic battle where giant tanks were piloted by cute blue blobs (Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime).

Admittedly none of this is likely to impact the butt-oriented oeuvre I've curated in my own game, there's still a measure of satisfaction in watching talented people struggle to sell their own colorful blobs and smears to all the little judgy jerks walking by.

Instead, what I have seen is that there are different types of gravity you can apply to alter your fighting and movement abilities, and there seems to be more of a focus on battling humanoid enemies than the amorphous blobs that dominated the first game.

Once, at a meet-the-princess lunch, I watched Diana reduce a bunch of seasoned (male) American foreign correspondents to spineless blobs of obsequious jelly competing to express their sympathy for how hard her life must be and bragging about how arduous their jobs were.

For the last few years, doctors at a number of hospitals in the Emerald City have been saving those little bits and blobs of brain, sticking them on ice, and rushing them off in a white van across town to the Allen Institute for Brain Science.

We've reached out to Google to confirm that blobmoji will arrive on Android Messages and will update when we hear back, but we'll at least have to wait a little bit longer for an update before we can start sending blobs back and forth once again.

On the Verge Plastic bits and blobs dangle from the ceiling and just about every other surface of the 26-year-old designer Misha Kahn's studio in Brooklyn, which he shares with fellow designer Katie Stout (who just opened a show with Bjarne Melgaard at Karma gallery).

Emoji are everywhere, but as a lifelong Android user, I've simultaneously gotten used to the Android's emoji blobs, the inconsistencies of expression, and the misunderstandings that came with the difference in the emoji across platforms, all the while trying to ignore Google's emoji as best I could.

Yes, at a time when we are all silently suffering behind cell phones and slowly morphing into a species of goopy same-lookin' techno-blobs, it is refreshing to see an NBA player who pisses into the wind and wears dumb shirts and lives to rattle obnoxious beat reporters.

The mosaic morphed from a scattering of weird blobs (and, OK, a distinctly phallic shape) to a patchwork of everything Redditors loved: a pixelated rendition of the Mona Lisa, the logo for Stranger Things, the Swedish flag, and hundreds of other symbols, smashed into one great digital quilt.

The 260 x 480 VGA resolution isn't great, but there's a second, standard 13 megapixel camera on the back, and the Flir camera app takes the detail from that and overlays it on the thermal image, adding some clarity to the blobs of heat that you're looking at.

The trees I indicated were not quite bare of foliage but stripped enough for limbs and branches to reveal lots of roundish puffs or nests suspended in them, big blots, blobs within the larger, more or less oval-shaped crowns of five or six trees ahead in the distance.

A new Australian restaurant found itself in the midst of a social media storm last week—and not just because it's one of those places that serves blobs of puréed parsnip and describes its cocktail list as "innovative" (read: garnished with more limp flowers than your local petrol station).

But these new Snapchat AR effects, which include confetti that drops from the sky, an overly-energetic bird that follows you around, and big blobs that float in space, don't feel as interactive or clever as those face-focused options (though perhaps that's because I'm a selfie-obsessed millennial).

But this blurriness also unmasks the role that the viewer's expectations play in making a picture: The five white blobs in a staticky gray print called "Wild Horses" do look like horses, but if the piece were titled differently you would also believe they were just digital noise.
|
|
It's not over then though: After the initial blobs are counted, any candidate who gets less than 15 percent of the vote basically ceases to exist as an option, and the voters in that blob suddenly become free agents, with a chance to join another, more successful, blob.

The letters rarely arrange themselves into SEA, however, instead forming rhythms such as "e es es ea sas" or "ae se e ss e," while the little white blobs of correction fluid between them resemble the simplified, abstracted waves you would find in a Milton Avery painting of the ocean.

At the same time, the FLIR Duo can record both a standard video stream to a microSD card, and a thermal-enhanced stream using the company's MSX overlay technology which makes it easier to discern what exactly you're looking at, instead of just giving you multi-colored blobs to stare at.

"The olivine crystals folks are finding on the ground scattered about are from violently ejected basalt [a type of lava] blobs wherein the embedded, earlier-formed olivine crystals are freed from their surrounding pahoehoe [syrupy lava] basalt liquid," Stanley Mertzman, a volcanologist at Franklin and Marshall College, said over email.

Wall-E is the tale of a little robot left alone on earth to clean up after humans literally trashed the place, then took off for a comfy life in outer space, where their rapacious need for consumption has turned them into blobs who can't stand and move on their own.

All the other variables — the cellular environment within which the cancer cell was inescapably lodged, the metabolic and hormonal milieu that surrounded the cancer or, for that matter, the human body that was wrapped around it — might as well have been irrelevant blobs receding in the distance: Japan, China, Russia.

"Apotheosis" (1972), which draws on images made from radiation treatment of cancer, delivers a similar effect: it begins as a slow march of brain shapes filled with colors that pulse like lava-lamp blobs, then rapidly accelerates, with textured patterns tailing each other so quickly the frames become painful to watch.

When an artist-mentor, Leon Golub, took a look at a painting he'd made and advised, "Get rid of three-quarters of this and keep the quarter that you haven't painted yet," Conal hit upon his signature style: a politician's face, thick with oozy blobs of grayscale oil paint, emblazoned with a damning caption.

I did both when I visited twice in mid-July; I also ordered the bean-on-bean sandwich, a dish that sounds like a gastrointestinal threat but turned out to be a harmonious compilation of mashed borlotti beans, pickled jalapeños, red onion, sour cream, and judicious blobs of feta, all packed onto a potato bun.

So was their determination to create works of radical originality: Tanaka made a "dress" of colored electric light tubes; Shōzō Shimamoto made "paintings" of newspaper sheets stretched on frames and punched through with holes; Shiraga painted with his feet; and Motonaga explored the accidental beauty of big, drippy, majestic blobs in color-saturated pictures.

The meal began with a pictorially perfect tray of amuse bouches: thin-cut strips of yellowtail stomach dressed in a vinegar-miso sauce, which tasted smoked though they weren't, along with a small pile of herrings fermented in the dregs of sake, and a handful of fresh snap peas, each dabbed with tiny blobs of black sesame pesto.

In a culture where most fat people in the media have missing heads — the anonymous, decapitated, interchangeable blobs whose photos accompany scary news stories about obesity — a fat woman with a voice can be threatening, not just to bullies, misogynists and anti-obesity crusaders, but to many of those who consider themselves to be enlightened, too.

On the Bristol Stool Chart, these are types 3, 4 and 5: sausage-like with some cracks in the surface, up to 2 to 3 cm in diameter; longer sausage or snake-like with a smooth consistency, similar to that of toothpaste with a typical diameter of 1 to 153 cm; or soft blobs with clear cut edges.

With plastic "jibs" no bigger than two £25 coins stacked on top of each other, bigger amorphous blobs made of resin or fibreglass and brightly coloured "volumes"—cubes, cylinders, tetrahedrons and stranger, compound shapes—that might be the size of a sofa, he will make this featureless, overhanging wall into a sublime physical challenge for some of the world's best sportsmen and -women.

Here, they stuff their faces with Taiwanese sausages (try Wu Di's "Flower Lady" Taiwanese sausage); glutinous rice cakes, which on Jiufen are available Hakka-style in sweet or salty preparations with yam fillings, salted vegetables, red beans, or salted green beans; bitter gourd; king mushrooms; and translucent meat dumplings, better recognized as the slimy, jiggly blobs that Chihiro's dad hoovers (I recommend Jiufen Jinzhi's red meat dumplings).

And in "Proteus," a few mutating colored blobs abstracted from Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly performing "The Babbitt and the Bromide" in "Ziegfeld Follies" make a gentle mockery of any attempt to read anything too clever into the work: The song, audible on portable headphones, is a satire of empty small talk that belies its own ostensible point by using its bubbly lyrics as a medium for rhythm, melody and mood.

"The big question is whether the black hole is entering a new phase -- for example if the spigot has been turned up and the rate of gas falling down the black hole 'drain' has increased for an extended period -- or whether we have just seen the fireworks from a few unusual blobs of gas falling in," said Mark Morris, UCLA professor of physics and astronomy and co-senior study author.

In one entry, written sometime in the early 1960s, Tworkov expands upon the significance of his young friend's work and effectively summarizes the admiration he had for the younger artist: It's difficult for anyone experienced or inexperienced in art to accept Rauschenberg's object of a shaggy goat with a rubber tire around its middle, its nose desecrated by blobs of paint as a sculpture or a painting or as an art object.

His images, in their oddness, exude the radical air that wafts through such iconic Japanese modernist works of the immediate postwar period as those of Tetsumi Kudō (mixed-media creations evoking wartime destruction in the nuclear age), On Kawara (whose "Bathroom" drawings (1953-54) featured peg-like, naked humans in disorienting, tiled rooms), and Shūsaku Arakawa (whose early sculptures featured corpse-like cement blobs placed in elegant, fabric-lined, coffin-like boxes).

The astrophysicists suspect that these burps came from a massive black hole: Similarly, the fuchsia blobs on this image are regions of intense X-ray radiation, thought to be black holes that formed when two galaxies (the blue and pink rings) collided: Here are X-rays and sound waves emanating from the central region of the Perseus galaxy cluster — more indirect evidence of a black hole: And in this GIF, the Chandra telescope saw a large X-ray flare coming from the black hole suspected to lie at the center of the Milky Way galaxy.

"The End of Relevance," which, like the two all-impasto works, was done in 2015 (it would be intriguing to learn where the completion of the three paintings fell chronologically), is the most optically dazzling work in the show: composed of wobbly black lines over a pale blue field, with a mass of black scribbles dominating the right half and two black-outlined blobs of yellow paint in the lower left quadrant, the visual buzz set off by the close proximity of the lines messes with your eyes and brain.
