A Record-Breaking Domino Fall



A team of first class domino experts got together as a team to break a Guinness World Record. And they did, on June 20th, when they toppled a 3D pyramid containing 29,193 dominoes. But would you believe that is about the least interesting part of this sequence? This 123,456-piece domino fall takes up a whole gym, and it's quite entertaining. 

There are lots of mind bending side quests, while the main line continues in a back-and-forth manner intended to give you enough time to enjoy the side quest without losing the point of progress. I had to go back and watch the pair of gummy bears to figure out how they made them fall twice. There are a couple of places where an art piece did not entirely fall. That seems a shame, but maybe they were just setting the viewer up for the surprise duck. In between sequences, there are non-domino transitions that make this a truly Rube Goldberg contraption, and they often don't work the way you expect them to. After all that, the record-breaking pyramid didn't seem all that important, but overall, it's quite a ride. (via Born in Space

The compulsive in me kept thinking 'somebody is going to have to pick them all up'.
