  1. The good news: Classic Industries now has taillight lenses for my '65 Dart.

    The Bad News: They cost $100 a piece.

      It's a good thing you only need two...

      Well, one of the lenses is missing on my car, and at least one of them is also cracked. Oh, and here's some new photos of the engine bay. I need to redo that fuel line so there's no kink in it. By the way, I started it up, and it runs.

  2. I admit to not liking Eddsworld, and have mixed feelings towards Edd Gould. (RIP) Nice guy, willing to put forth the effort, and I even liked that one song he posted on the Newgrounds Audio Portal. On the other hand, he was really dull, didn't have a voice that was suitable for voice acting, and the Eddsworld cartoons lacked the wit of Tomorrow's Nobodies nor the cleverness of Julius von Brunk.

  3. RIP Mad Max actor Hugh Keays-Byrne.

     

  4. Looks like a ROM hacker finally did a Lynx game: https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/5557/

    Now if only someone decided to make a hack of Ninja Gaiden 3 with re-drawn graphics...

  5. Matt, I wonder if you have anything planned for item tables, individual levels, or even boss battles if one is inclined?
  6. @agradeneuYou are the pixel artist that far too many Lynx games should have had. However, for the final version, I suggest that LV. 4 have another sky color other than magenta.
  7. I came up with one since I started with Parenthesis/Brackets, then Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction.

  8. I have to hand it to William Sachs, he had a hit with Galaxina. Mainly due to its characters and the situations surrounding them.

  9. Pat, did you write demos some time in the past?
  10. Remember when Sci-Fi Channel had Tripping the Rift and Showtime Beyond had Fist of the North Star and Dirty Pair? Here's Saberspark on Tripping the Rift:

  12. I really like the particle effects that were used in the title screen.
  13. For those looking for something to port to the 5200 and 7800.

  14. The 4th Snake on how he would fix Scrappy-Doo.

      To tell you the truth, I never had any real disdain towards the character, but see why he is hated. He was one of those things that Hanna-Barbera got very wrong. (Others include poor IP evolution, blindly following other studio's trends, bad color theory in the '70s and '80s., and Kwicky Koala just to name a few.)

      and never mind

      the fact that

      nearly every single

      episode of scooby doo

      was identical, which

      was why i refused to watch

    Enjoy these two classics from The Orb.

      The Orb!! Have several of their CD's but that album is best.

      Pretty cool!   (Forgive me if we've had this conversation b4, as this actually seems like a Déjà vu to me).  I'm mostly unfamiliar with The Orb, but used to really like Orbital.  Just curious,  do you like Orbital?    I could be wrong but I think both were named after the M25 (London Orbital Roadway) and Orbital Parties of the early rave scene...

    3. SlidellMan

      Yes, and I found out about Orbital from Test Drive 4.

  19. I will say this in the defense of the later Roland TR drum machines; the 505, 626, 707, and 727's MIDI ports made them easier to use. Too bad that Roland never gave the TB-303 the Juno-106 treatment. (Read: a MIDI-compatible version.)

  20. It looks like Ken Spears has died, and a month-and-a-half after Joe Ruby, too.

  21. I love my Electribe MX, but it has two problems that I need to fix. One is that all the modulation depth lights go on while having nothing display on the LCD; another is the LCD becoming garbled and it occasionally responds. If anyone here has owned an Electribe MX or SX and has dealt with that problem, I'd like to know how to fix it.

      @DragonGrafx-16You have a nice TR-8S and Alpha Juno. My neighbor has a Juno-60 and a Korg M1.

      The synth in the top left is my JX-3P... one of the first synths with MIDI.

  22. Am I the only person here who thinks that Lorenzo Music would never be allowed to work in mainstream film and television if he were still alive today? (Ditto for Mel Blanc, Jack Mercer, and Paul Frees.)

      I don't know, but you inspired my to read a bit on them. Amazingly talented folk; Music helped create The Bob Newhart Show; Mercer was an animator & writer; Frees wrote songs & scripts, & did ADR work for other actors. It's hard to believe people with so many diverse talents wouldn't find some sort of work.

      Mercer was also a voice actor on Popeye and Joe Oriolo's Felix the Cat cartoons. Come to think of it, Bill Scott of Rocky & Bullwinkle fame would have been 100 this year. (Scott, like Mercer, was a writer and voice actor.) Trivia: I was born the same year that Bill Scott, Joe Oriolo, C Lafayette Hartman, and Clarence Nash died.

  23. Who's up for Côte de Bœuf?

    I prefer using the thick, large steaks, but that's just me.

  24. As much as I find George Carlin to be hilarious and Maurice Sendak one of my influences; both men became extremely bitter and somewhat hateful towards the end. (Ditto for Alan Moore and Milton Knight.)

      Many people have died over the years. It's a big club and you're not in it . . . yet. :D
