jackofallspades98 | Dominoes vs. Machines: Round X (w/ @Hevesh5) @jackofallspades98 | Uploaded 3 months ago | Updated 2 minutes ago
After a long wait, the 10th installment of Dominoes vs. Machines is finally here, and I hope you'll agree that the wait was worth it. For Round X, I'm taking on the one and only @Hevesh5, the mighty titan of the domino world. Will she prevail, or will my machines come out on top?

Where do I even begin?? This video was nothing short of a whirlwind from start to finish. In part, this was due to complications with the actual production of the video, but mostly it was because I had some pretty massive life changes that took place during the last 10 months or so...
That's why this video is dedicated to my partner, Jan. It's crazy to think that when I started building the very first clip for this video (Flexing Tiles), I had no idea you even existed, but that by the time of taking apart the last clip (Magnet Magic 2.0), we're married and living together. Whether it's the clip I was working on while we were just friends (Launching Helicopter Track), or the clip that took me 21 days because we spent so much time together (Fire Spiral), or even the clip inspired by a suggestion of yours (Five-Pointed Track Swivel), everything I built for this project tells a part of our story. Jan, thank you for writing this story with me. You make me very happy, and I love you. 💜🦔
As for my thoughts on the actual machine clips, I'm really proud of this collection of eight. With Dominoes vs. Machines, it's always my goal to have a lot of variety, and I think that's a major strength with what I built. There's a good mix of acrobatic spectacle (Launching Helicopter Track, Trampoline Bounce), highly engineered complexity (Flexing Tiles, Five-Pointed Track Swivel), and satisfying simplicity (Magnet Magic 2.0, Fire Spiral). More than anything, I think the underlying concept at the core of each idea is very strong, and I think I've managed to come up with some ideas that don't even resemble machine ideas that exist already. Not that "spice-ups" are bad or anything, of course, but there are several clips I built that feel genuinely, truly brand new to me, which is really exciting. Hopefully you enjoy what I've been up to for the better part of a year now!
