We recently posted about a bunch of year-end accolades Osmos has received. (Sometimes you just have to toot your own horn I guess. Toot toot!) But some of the articles we’ve come across are… different: philosophical, scientific, amusing…
Here’s a selection of a few of our recent favorites:
- “Think Like a Bacterium: Osmos, Naïve Quorum Sensing, & the iPad” by the Sport Linguist relates Osmos to “quorum sensing” and “technological human enhancement”.
- This “review” by Alexandre Guimond begins with Carl Sagan and ends with how Osmos is “the metaphorical statement of what we have become as a species, and how far we have come to understand the Cosmos.” Wow.
- “Osmos and The Free Market” by Daniel Primed takes an economics slant and compares Osmos to the free market. Interesting… though I guess that raises the question of whether or not our economy is a zero-sum game like the mass in Osmos.
And last but certainly not least, a four panel rage comic summing up the Osmos experience for one player

It’s highly unlikely that you will find the creator of the comic, as comics like these are mass produced from the templates.

This is a rage comic, it uses pre-created faces to express rage. I actually read this one when it was posted. I can’t find the original source, but I do know that it was posted at http://reddit.com/r/fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu probably a week or two ago.

No idea how I missed out on the rage comic meme.
