My no push wall challenge in Wolfenstein 3d

I always wonder if it's possible to complete any episodes of Wolfenstein 3d without pushing walls.   Of course, don't expect to reach to secret levels without pushing walls.   Let's me see.   Episode 1: Yes. I can reach to the end without push a single wall.   Episode 2: My adventure of no push walls ends here. I can't go furter in level 2 without pushing a wall.     Episode 3: It's the same here at level 4.     Episode 4: It's very hard to find the key to open those d

Radio AM stations

The last time I listened to radio AM band in my region, they were only two AM stations left.   Today, all AM stations are gone.     PS: I rarely listen to radio anyway.

This blog was written on a windows 98 computer

My Vaio laptop decided to give up two days ago,   I was playing on game when suddenly the screen became black and the motor stopped running.   Fortunely, my Pentium Celeron supports ethernet so U can go on the internet again.   But still, my Vaio has stopped working five years later I bought it in the store.   This is the third electronic device who gave up after my vcr and dvd reciorder.   Writing in 800x600 is fun because I used a sd tv unstead a monitor.

Joysticks from past, present and future

Here the history of joysticks.   From the past:     This old joystick when one button does anything:   - Boxing, Kicking, shooting, jumping...     Now the present:   Joystick are improved over time and we called now gamepad, because the stick is removed from the pad. The gameplay is better without a stick.           Now you can shoot, jump, kick, open doors, go to inventory at the same time.       And now the future: what will we have?       I won't be surprised

From Qbasic to Commodore Basic v2.0

Hi there   I was thinking making a new Commodore game who will work on C64, Vic-20 or C16/+4.   It's a text adventure game.     Before starting a new game, I'll check if I can put DG: a text adventure game to work on Commodore computers.   I noted that Commodore Basic 2.0 lacks some commands found on Basica or GwBasic like While, Wend, Print Using "Money : ####"   After a few tries I managed to make the DG text to work on Commodore computers.   DG text on C64   DG text on Vic

What happened to my favorite magazines?

Hi   I came to town today. The first thing I noted that all my favorite magazines are gone. I mean console and computer magazines, mostly reviews magazines.     After all, why paying $10 to read game reviews when you can read reviews from internet.   But still, reviewer magazines are professional and know theirs stuff.   It's worth $10 for me.     Robin Gravel

Is my external usb hard disk saying farewell?

Hi   I noted that my external usb hard disk takes forever to use.   I waited 9 minutes untill my computer can access to my external hard disk.   I bought the external hard disk in 2007.     I checked my Hard disk on my older computer with win 98 installed. Same thing.   My newest computer was bought in 2009.   My hard disk does not seen to lose any datas that's a good sign.   I hope I can still use it many years again.     Robin Gravel

Ho nooooooooo!

My DVD recorder is dead today,   My DVD recorder is plugged but nothing happens. No light! No sound. Nothing!   Few recorded DVDs can play on my computer.     Yeah. My older VCR recorder still works. It can record videos but without sound. Still, it can play recorded VCR cassettes with pictures and sound.   Go figure!     Robin Gravel

3D TV VS Nintendo 3DS

I have had a chance to try a Nintendo 3DS an a 3D TV with 3D glasses today.     The 3D TV was impressive but not that impressive on 3DS. I use glasses so my vision might not look 3Ds that impressive I think.   If Nintendo dropped the price on 3DS, that's because the 3DS is not that impressive either.   Nintendo 3DS is more like a DS but with more powerful and bigger screens.   None of 3Ds games are impressive neither. Peharps if Super Mario Galaxy will release on 3DS ...     Robin Gr

Something gone wrong with my laptop Sony Vaio

Hi   Yesterday, for no reasons, the screen became black but the computer was still running. I was watching a flash movie. I can still hear something but I can't see anything.   So I closed my computer and reopen it again (I don't mean I turned the computer off and on). I can see the picture again. That happened twice.   I bought Vaio three years ago. I hope I don't need to buy a new one again.   I wonder if this problem is common on laptop computers.       Robin Gravel

USB driver lost: stupid computer

Hi   I don't understand what it's just happened.   I used my USB hard disk this morning witout any problems but now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   :mad:   Windows Vista asks me to install an USB storage device. WHY?   :mad: :mad:   USB storage device is supported since Windows 2000. I found that in the USB Hard disk manual.   So WHY Win Vista asks me to install this driver when it is already installed?   Now I can't play my favorite games because of this problem.   I bought Vaio
