Good morning, everyone! How about some #MorningDOSTalk to start your day? What about games that you always wanted to finish, but never did?

 Sat Feb 01 12:44:22 +0000 2014

Maybe games that you wanted to get into, but they were too difficult. Or too unfriendly. #MorningDOSTalk

As far as I'm concerned, both Joaquin Phoenix & Philip Seymour Hoffman got fucked out of the Oscars they deserved for The Master.

 Mon Feb 03 17:07:34 +0000 2014

Of course there's that sequel thing. Max had absolutely no reason to go on this journey, and the villain's motivation is extremely, but...

97-98 - best years.

 Tue Feb 04 00:09:16 +0000 2014

I liked it a lot. That's what a Hollywood film should feel like in my opinion. And it's a studio's apology of sorts :)

 Tue Feb 04 00:11:41 +0000 2014

It's still a nice feel good flick. Clean and simple. And with great performances. Fact skewing is expected.

 Tue Feb 04 00:17:23 +0000 2014

The fact that they actually acknowledged that Disney smoked is pretty cool. And Mary Poppins is a dreadful movie...

First person adventure game engine that I did a long time ago. Finished. Never made a game with it.

One of the first things I ever made - a Pirates! inspired game. Check out the high res EGA graphics! XD

 Tue Feb 04 02:04:48 +0000 2014

Around the same time made a shitty fighting game as a way to avoid a test at school. My friend did the background

Aaaaand a game I made in high school. Need I say more?

Back in the early home computer days there were tons of isometric games. Spectrum had Fairlight, Head Over Heels, Batman, Ant Attack...

DOS had D/Generation, Crusader, Little Big Adventure... I'm sure there's a whole more of these, it's just too early & I'm not entirely awake

I did so many games in VB. All different ways too. One project used icons for sprites, because vb would handle transparency :)

 Tue Feb 04 21:24:59 +0000 2014

Oh dude, we totally have to organize a #vbdosjam! We need to rope more people into this!

 Tue Feb 04 21:29:45 +0000 2014

Who needs work when there's booze & singing involved?

 Tue Feb 04 21:31:53 +0000 2014

I think VB for DOS is pretty obscure. But it's basically QB4.5, most people are familiar with it.

 Tue Feb 04 21:36:37 +0000 2014

And since it's DOS related I can curate it here & on my youtube channel! Haha!

 Tue Feb 04 21:37:32 +0000 2014

I think 1 of the rules has to be that one is REQUIRED to use the gui library, not just pure qb code.

 Tue Feb 04 21:41:07 +0000 2014

and it HAS TO be a game, right?

 Tue Feb 04 21:45:08 +0000 2014

Not really. I'd say source code submission & if you're going to use some other library, you have to include it? Too much?

 Tue Feb 04 21:50:34 +0000 2014

Alright, so just use the gui library. Compiled submissions.

 Tue Feb 04 21:57:02 +0000 2014

How long are we giving people?

 Tue Feb 04 21:59:33 +0000 2014

Oh man, exciting times ahead!

 Tue Feb 04 22:01:39 +0000 2014

Hmmn. Idk. The nature of the jam is unusual, so maybe it'll be better to allow for more time? I'm not sure.

 Tue Feb 04 22:02:51 +0000 2014

that sounds reasonable

 Tue Feb 04 22:09:34 +0000 2014

I'm sorry, but that just sounds dirty

 Tue Feb 04 22:10:01 +0000 2014

I'll try to make something interesting :)

 Tue Feb 04 22:13:32 +0000 2014

Just remember: Visual Basic for DOS is not like VB for Windows at all! %)

 Tue Feb 04 22:17:32 +0000 2014

Anything goes, but the gui library is a must

 Tue Feb 04 22:26:33 +0000 2014

I'd say having to work with vb for DOS is a pretty big restriction already

 Tue Feb 04 22:34:47 +0000 2014

Do you know qbasic?

 Tue Feb 04 22:36:09 +0000 2014

VB for DOS is basically QB 4.5 with a gui library

 Tue Feb 04 22:47:17 +0000 2014

And that's why I love Twitter: you make a silly joke and an hour later you're planning a game jam because of it. :)

 Tue Feb 04 22:50:56 +0000 2014

Well, VB for Windows is a bit more complicated than that, and has actual "objects". QB has none.

 Tue Feb 04 22:58:16 +0000 2014

No. DOS one will let you draw a simple gui, but it's not OOP which means IT'S ALL AN ILLUSION.

I might be wrong, but I think it's a Butusov-written song. It sounds like one.

 Sat Feb 08 12:11:45 +0000 2014

Butusov wrote all Nau songs before Kormiltsev joined & then a few after. But Yablokitai is technically not a Nau album.

 Sat Feb 08 12:17:12 +0000 2014

Butusov's songs r even more abstract. Like The Final Letter, Hlop-Hlop or anything post-Nau like Nastasia or Trilliput or Gibraltar

 Sat Feb 08 12:19:10 +0000 2014

I actually think The Pharaoh is Kormiltsev's...

Man, I remember the first time I've seen The Evil Dead. I must have been 6 or 7 years old & wasn't prepared for what that movie had to offer

 Mon Feb 10 14:03:10 +0000 2014

That movie never looked good on back then, but my copy looked especially like shit. But even in that condition, I knew how special it was.

 Mon Feb 10 14:17:17 +0000 2014

Evil Dead might have shitty acting & cheap & amateurish production value, but it has more creativity than 20 films combined.

 Mon Feb 10 14:19:38 +0000 2014

I can not believe that Sam Raimi was TWENTY years old when he made it. That's 20.

As years go on, it only gets better. And though the movie has been restored & you can REALLY see all the imperfections, and I've seen >

 Mon Feb 10 14:22:28 +0000 2014

> other films that inspired it, and one that Raimi pretty much ripped off, it doesn't take away from it. On the contrary, it makes it better

 Mon Feb 10 14:24:56 +0000 2014

Then came Evil Dead 2, even more creative than the first. Essentially the first live action horror cartoon.

 Mon Feb 10 14:32:00 +0000 2014

Besides creating a new film sub-genre, Evil Dead 2 established Bruce Campbell as the only guy who would be able to pull that role off.
