  1. Hi all, My first children's book, Blip the Bit: And His Adventures in Retroville is now available for purchase on LuLu.com. The book chronicles a day in the life of Blip, and his 3 friends, Bleep, Bloop, and Zip, as they skip through a computer-generated town filled with classic video game characters. My purpose for writing this book was to create a book that retro gaming enthusiasts could read to their young children and enjoy together. Front cover: Sample page spread: The book cost $15 plus tax/shipping. (If you select the "Mail" option, shipping costs $3.99). To purchase the book, please visit: http://www.lulu.com/...t-21025665.html To learn more about the book, you can visit my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.../BlipTheBitBook Edit: Added an extra photo of the actual book. Any questions, let me know. Thanks for looking! -B
  2. You're doing God's work.
  3. Ok. Who can tell me the MTV contest that featured a guy having a really bad day. He's in the shower and the announcer on his shower radio says "and now an hour of Wayne Newton", so he punches radio and gets electrocuted?

      He then gets a phone call from his girlfriend, who says 'lets be friends', to which he replies "Friends? Lets just be enemies!" -- Need your help, I got a beer riding on this!

  4. Only one more page left to clean up and color and my "Blip the Bit" book can move to proofing. In case you haven't heard, I'm working on a new book, made especially for young children on retro gamers. You can learn more here: Facebook.com/BlipTheBitBook or @BlipTheBit on Twitter. Thanks for your support!

  12. I like how it's going so far. Reminds me of Kaboom. Can the actual playfield be centered? -B
  13. Got the hang of it now. Frustrating little game Nice job! -B
  14. Is this supposed to be played w/ paddle or joystick? I'm hoping you say paddle. Otherwise I really suck. -B

  16. That's weird. I've attached them instead of just pulling from Imgur. Let me know if you still get red Xs. Thanks, B
  17. I didn't come up with a retro label, but I had an old design I created for a game concept called "RAILZ" a while back, which was in the same vein as this game. I just updated the game's name to "Gate Racer." It's yours if you want it, AM. -B
