When I was little I had these little stuffed animals. Two, imparticularly, are sticking out in my head now. One was a blue rabbit not unlike the body of Bugs Bunny. Y’know… tall, skinny, gangly-like. The other was exactly the same only pink. They stood about 10″ tall.
I used to sit at the bottom of the carpeted staircase and toss the rabbits up in the air, against the wall which was just beyond the landing, and observe as they fell back on to the stairwell, bouncing, bending, and flailing their way down back to me. I would cringe at the ones that would hurt, had they been human…. and not stuffed animals. Yet, the most painful looking ones would be the sole reason I continued to play this twisted game day after day. That’s what I wanted to see!
Yowsa! Look at that one! Yeeesh….. that’s gotta hurt.
Why am I sharing this with you? Some finnish people came up with this fantastic simulation/game. You have this dummy standing at the edge of a staircase. You pick an area of the body you want to thrust. You pick what direction you want it to be thrust in. You choose the force in which that part will be thrusted.
And watch.
Your dummy tumbles down the stairs, injuring his hot-spots along the way (head, neck, upper arms, hands, chest, thighs, shins, feet).
The more your dummy injures these hot-spots, the more points you rack up during your fall.
I think this is just so damn cool and JUST AS ADDICTING as it was 12 years ago when I would sit for hours on end at the bottom of the staircase.
Am I weird?

Reminder
Sometimes I need to play this for myself just to remember what it feels like to smile. And it doesn't just make me smile because of the message (though it never fails) but because someone took the time to get her to record it for me.
