[Goodbye batari Basic]

Don't scare me like that! I still need the RT Motivational guide and your other 'bout it 'bout it resources

 

Say you're on a drug induced hiatus instead.

[Probably Losing Internet for a Couple of Months (Time-Warner Won't Make a Deal)]

After my cable company yanked off a couple of my fav TV stations without warning I cut it to basic with Internet (somehow it was cheaper than *just* Internet!?!). To wean myself from TV I used the XBMC software for movies and TV episodes.

[Apple ][ versus CoCo]

Copy protection was pretty broken on the Apple II as well. If people weren't using hardware they were using advanced copying software. The only effect copy protection had was to encourage the pirate scene and hackers.

[Jackass!]

Don't mess with medicine. If you want to be a Jackass challenge yourself to a Natto eating contest and videotape it. You lose if you hurl at 12 servings. Extra credit: overcook the stuff in a microwave and eat that too!

[Say this to your wife or girlfriend or both]

I would repeat that sentence but:

"I am Sofa King - We. Todd. Ed."

[PS3 OtherOS class action update]

Of course, what Sony doesn't see is the negative profits due to their former customers not buying more hardware or software. All the big names go multi-platform so I choose Dead Rising 2 for 360 instead of PS3.

[Atari 2600 for sale plus 7 games, still works with new cables for new age tv!]

Could you throw in a copy of NES ROM Maker?

[SNES Instruction Booklet collection]

I haven't had a manual since Windows 3.0. They're good stuff from what I hear. Actually, the Super Mario Brothers manual had many little tidbits I completely missed just playing the game.

 

I'll keep an eye out at Flea Markets for ya.

[Scroll screen]

I know just enough about programming and the Colecovision to be impressed!

 

Procedurally generating graphics feels like cheating.. in a good way

[256 x 256 screen maze working.]

Thanks for the tips! Er, I'll have to get me some learnin' in order to understand what a LFSR PRNG is much less a typical one. Low fidelity serial register pseudo random number generator? So much to study

 

The 16 bit number option sounds good. If the score can be broken down into 8 bit numbers maybe I can likewise split the results of the 16 bit random number. Trouble is I'm putting several 8 bit values into the melting pot. I can hardly cope with the score or back up it's values. 16 bit numbers and Batari are another subject to master!

[My kitty + Sega CD games]

Did I see Sol Feace? I have that and still haven't played it. That's on my list of fecal suggestive games including "Eliminate Down"

 

Hope the Melatonin works. Stuff is awesome for me on Sundays when I have to get my sleep schedule back on track.
