Well, that was a "fun" call. My mother, who is a dual citizen btw, is also absolutely appalled at how the police have been escalating the violence. But as someone who has lived in America, she's also not surprised.

 Mon Jun 01 18:11:58 +0000 2020

Looks like the official Russian news are kind of in a pickle, since they want to both present US system as unjust, as well as not show that people can actually violently respond to an oppressive system. So they are concentrating on both police violence *and* looting.

 Mon Jun 01 18:14:42 +0000 2020

I will always repeat this. And this includes having to respond violently when needed as well.

As a resident of Long Island, I see why Long Islanders are trending today, and while I want to apologize for their behavior, I don't think I should. I shouldn't apologize for others being racist assholes. What we all should be doing is calling that shit out when we see it.

 Wed Jun 03 18:27:08 +0000 2020

Don't come to me with the "Not *all* LIers are racist." Yeah, no shit. I know. But it's fucking *everywhere* here. I *moved* from a town at one point because I got tired of people's overt racism in it, and I wasn't even ever a target of it since I'm very white.

 Wed Jun 03 18:30:02 +0000 2020

One of the jobs I worked for (and left) had a "special filling cabinet" for applications filled out by black people. I bet you already figured out that it was chode for the trash can. Racism is so engrained in Long Island's function that it is disguising.

I used DosBox to take these screenshots, but if I actually wanted to play the game, I'd use Sega PC Reloaded.

 Thu Jun 04 18:09:44 +0000 2020

Fullscreen mode now just streches the game to your desktop resolution. This option makes sure it keeps the 16:10 (320x200) ratio.

 Thu Jun 04 18:11:30 +0000 2020

It plays fine, but the game is fairly CPU demanding, meaning the user experience might vary depending on their machine, since DosBox only ever uses one core. Also a whole bunch of drivers need to be installed. Something that allows 256 color, sound blaster, & CD music.

 Mon Jun 08 20:54:16 +0000 2020

The Dark Eye to me is the pinnacle of the Macromedia Director multimedia CD-ROMs. Practically because it has all the elements, but somehow manages to avoid being an ultra cheesy 90s product.

 Mon Jun 08 20:56:49 +0000 2020

It's incredibly high concept too. You get THREE interactive Edgar Allan Poe stories (The Cask of Amontillado, The Tell-Tale Heart, and Berenice,) and you get to play through all of them as both the victim, and the killer. And there's an overarching story that ties it all 2gether

 Mon Jun 08 20:59:23 +0000 2020

The game features writing by Russel Lees (Full Spectrum Warrior, Assassins Creed 3), music by Thomas Dolby (She Blinded Me with Science), puppets by Doug Beswick (Star Wars, Aliens), and voice acting by William freaking Burroughs! And lots and lots of 3D and 2D art

 Mon Jun 08 21:06:47 +0000 2020

That's amazing!

 Mon Jun 08 21:07:30 +0000 2020

Yes, I know. I was... working on a reimplementation of it about a decade ago. Then I found out that WB held some of the rights. Then, I believe, a company actually picked up the rights, but u can't re-release Director games easily, so it just sat in their catalog collecting dust.

 Mon Jun 08 21:08:52 +0000 2020

Yes. In a sense that's it's less kitschy, and a lot more playable. But also it's a lot more straight forward, while Bad Day certainly isn't.

 Mon Jun 08 21:09:40 +0000 2020

Cosmology of Kyoto (Windows 3.x/Macintosh, 1995) #NotDOS

 Wed Jun 10 20:49:00 +0000 2020

Cosmology of Kyto is a prime example of videogames as art. And also the only example of horror - edutainment hybrid. You get to explore Kyoto in 900s, and witness & interact with many events, all of them based on folklore and history.

 Wed Jun 10 20:51:59 +0000 2020

There's a point to all of it. You can finish the actual game part, and explore tons of optional stuff. You can also die at the hand of many demons, but you also get reincarnated shortly afterwards.

 Wed Jun 10 20:55:18 +0000 2020

Even the English version of the game is still in Japanese, which is honestly great and only adds more to the atmosphere.

 Wed Jun 10 20:58:43 +0000 2020

Roger Ebert, the man who famously questioned the premise of interactive gaming as art, loved Cosmology of Kyoto

 Wed Jun 10 21:02:37 +0000 2020

The game was released in a limited run, so it is very rare, but the download is out there. Because I would love 4 more people to discover it, the simplest way to run it on a modern Windows machine would be to download a package from The Collection Chamber: https://collectionchamber.blogspot.com/2019/05/cosmology-of-kyoto.html

 Wed Jun 10 21:17:26 +0000 2020

(P.S. The Collection Chamber package uses DosBox + Win3.1 to run Cosmology of Kyoto. For some reason it glitches where it shows a white box instead of text that you enter. It's fairly small glitch, and doesn't affect much. Alt + Enter gives you full screen. Ctrl + S to save.)

https://youtu.be/KpNLhJhp8uI

 Thu Jun 11 03:50:58 +0000 2020

I'm sort of looking forward to that one. Let's see if he manages to pull his head out of his own ass this time around.

 Thu Jun 11 03:54:32 +0000 2020

(For the record: I think Nolan is an extremely talented and dedicated director. He just needs to stop writing.)

 Thu Jun 11 03:55:35 +0000 2020

I like plot, dialogue, and twists as much as the next guy, I just enjoy films that don't constantly BEAT ME OVER THE HEAD with what's going on in them via dialogue. Subtlety is not Nolan's strength.

 Thu Jun 11 03:57:02 +0000 2020

There was a lot of confusion around Memento as well, iirc. It turned out fine. I legitimately love the movie.

 Thu Jun 11 04:00:59 +0000 2020

While I'm on a roll:
Anyone who suggests that one can only truly understand Memento if they watch that dvd easter egg when it rearranges it chronologically can fuck right off. The drama in the film is designed for its structure, and it's called PAY ATTENTION.

Because it makes them sound like fried chicken. The question here isn't the legality, but rather the idea of a name. KFC renamed themselves because that's what everyone was already calling it. Same as Dunkin' or The Oscars. Doubt that the monitor company predated a 50s restaurant

Ok, I already have an issue with the intro. They are discussing how unlikely it was for a comedy to gross blockbuster money (over $200 mil), but remember that in 1984 Beverly Hills Cop was both better reviewed and higher grossing than Ghostbusters.

Вий: История, рассказанная заново/Viy: The Story Retold (Windows, 2004) a Russian Phantasmagoria-inspired game based on a short story by the 19th century writer Nikolai Gogol, which was itself based on Ukrainian folklore. #NotDOS

 Fri Jun 19 20:50:49 +0000 2020

The game tried to so hard to follow the Phantasmagoria template, that it managed to copy quite a few of its shortcomings, and then added a few of its own to the mix. Being made in the early 2000s the DVD-player version of the game was also produced.

 Sun Jun 21 06:27:05 +0000 2020

I love the upgraded agents. They actually look like they can kick one's ass, unlike the generic lost-in-the-crowd-of-white-prople looking dudes of the first film. And you can tell that's how it was written on the page too.

 Sun Jun 21 06:32:11 +0000 2020

Also it's Jackson, Johnson, and Thompson in the second film.

 Sun Jun 21 06:33:03 +0000 2020

I owned three Reloaded releases, and not once I have paid attention enough to notice that.

 Sun Jun 21 07:11:40 +0000 2020

I also saw Reloaded three times in theaters, and also didn't notice anything.

 Sun Jun 21 07:12:47 +0000 2020

Oh, wait. It's Revolutions we're talking about? Then I definitely didn't pay attention to makeup, and I only own one release of that.

 Sun Jun 21 07:13:32 +0000 2020

I have no idea when that would be, since I really don't enjoy that movie, and the only reason I own it was because it's included in the 2004 set.

But it is exactly what I mean. Zone 66 has a GUS soundtrack that only GUS can play. You get a different soundtrack on the SB or on AdLib.

Ok, so upon closer inspection, this is just a mapping file handled by Ultramid describing which patches to keep in memory for the MIDI playback, and there isn't any actual custom patches included with the game, so DOOM is out.

It has changed a lot since then too, and I still love it. There are some stock pre-recorded stuff available at any time, but you HAVE TO attend a live event at some point.

Ummmm...... DID YOU PLAY THE AREA X LEVEL that they've made JUST for that version??!?!?!?!?!

 Fri Jun 26 00:12:20 +0000 2020

Yes, he was the only one they got.

 Fri Jun 26 00:12:40 +0000 2020

Seriously, it's worth it just for that level alone. To me the remake of the Dreamcast version is just a bonus

It's a bit different because you actually control the flight instead of it being on rails. But it is just one level. Needless to say the graphical fidelity is also quite incredible. Not sure if there's a dedicated Quest version, but I'd assume it has inferior gfx if it exists.

Educational stuff is pretty great for VR. Honestly I'm still questioning VR as a gaming platform, but all those non-game things that would be made as 90s Macromedia Director projects function wonderfully in VR.

I have a Rift CV1, and I have roomscale. No commercial VR launched without it. The technology is there, and it's cool, but it is pretty limiting when applied to gaming as we know it. Mostly because your movement is so limited. I'm sure we'll figure out something eventually, but..

 Fri Jun 26 00:25:49 +0000 2020

... I've been waiting for 3 years, and it's still not here. Alyx is a super polished experience in way that other devs can't afford, but it is still relying on the same old mechanics. But yeah, physically walking inside virtual spaces is incredibly cool and immersive.

 Fri Jun 26 00:26:56 +0000 2020

You also have to let me know if there's a TheWave show you want to attend, and we can meet up there. We'd even have to lean in and yell in each other's ears to talk. How's that for immersion?

 Fri Jun 26 00:28:15 +0000 2020

I'm telling you, it's the next best thing. Being able to attend a surreal digital club while still being in your living room is amazing!

I'm out doing stuff on a Saturday, so now can do. But we can always hang out in your cave at any time, if anything. You can only play stock records if you're not in the resident DJ program, though. But that's still an option.

Thief games are so freaking cool, man.

 Fri Jun 26 01:54:43 +0000 2020

Even though the story wrapped up neatly in Deadly Shadows, I'd gladly play a new Thief game set in the same world.

 Fri Jun 26 01:56:53 +0000 2020

But it would still have to be about Garrett. Thief just isn't the same without Stephen Russell and the rest of the cast.

Not yet. But I want to.

 Fri Jun 26 02:00:39 +0000 2020

Oh, and the cutscenes have to be in the same style, of course.

Didn't realize that today was the 38th anniversary of both John Carpenter's The Thing and Blade Runner. Both terribly reviewed box office bombs. Time did tell though.

It's 5 in the morning, and I'm currently not afraid to say that Hackers (1995) is a terrible movie.

No, I don't find it enjoyably corny. The soundtrack is cool though.
