EMULATION

Emulation.  We think of it now as a nifty way to keep the memories alive , and have some fun at the same time. Fact is, Emulation started in the 80's.  Yep.  Even with the older hardware, there were emulators.   Most of them required hardware add-ons.  Memorable units and Emulators that I can remember were the notorious Atari 2600 add on for the ColecoVision Video Game System, and an add on unit that turned a Commodore 64 into an Apple 2.  There were emulation add ons for The Intellivision too, that turned it into a machine capable of playing 2600 carts. I imagine that they would have different imputs due to key-layouts and voltage in the ports, plus pin-out adaption. and the Intelivision had Hard Wired Controllers if i remember correctly. Emulation, it makes me happy.  Also, all the new Fan Patches and Trainers and new translations of previously unplayable Japanese games enable me to enjoy stuff i'd otherwise have no access to (or understanding- due to text issues), more D

retro city rampage

PC REVIEW:Retro City Rampage / Hotline Miami Platform - Windows in the last few months we had 2 "GTA-Likes" come out that i'm familiar with.  the first is Retro City Rampage, and the 2nd is Hotline Miami.  Hotline Miami, for me, was a little short, and i wanted more of something that ...  i don't know, violence, costumes, and psuedo open world style aside ... ...  ...  just wasn't there for me, and it just didn't really ... "click" with me, it was trying too hard to look like..  i don't know, something i guess  i wasn't digging. Retro City Rampage, on the other hand, I've dug, a bit at least.  The game-play is similar to Vice City, with a "Retro" (8-16bit) appearance , that everybody is doing nowadays.  The writers of the game wrote most of it in Parody and in Honor of the 80's and early 90's, in everything from Film, music, Cartoons, popluar culture, and of course, video games.  You have to kind of take it really
There's no time anymore.  no time to go take a little ride out a ways to go and pick up games. not since GameStop came in.  Why go out to Calpella when ./...  I hear this from Parents at the GameStop.... "Oh just hurry up and pick something, or get what you're getting ... we need to go to WalMart, or Verizon, or Starbucks... ".   which are conveniently located within a couple blocks of GameStop. No More stopping for coffee  on the way out to go pick up a Gameboy Cartridge. No more stopping by what used to be the old arcade and Laundry to drop a quarter in an old but still kicking Pac Man machine.  I can hear the sound in my head, and see the worn overlay under the joystick.  Traveling out to Werner's House of Games was a nice little ...  a trip.  a dedicated break.  It was the smile on his face when i saw him every time, and the joy in his voice and his laughter and our joking.  Sometimes I'd go out there and relax and party.  My ex-w

why am i so sad?

i am selfish.  i feel so guilty re: werner's passing.  His health wasn't doing all that good and he asked me for my help to put up flyers to advertise his little shop. I didn't do it.  i got wasted becasue of c.  i didn't tell my fereinds to stop by on our way through there enough. i feel so awful i can not explain.  my due dilligence in being an asshole and a prick are beyond heavy.  i hate my self right now.

is the gaming industry dead?

is the gaming industry dead? i dunno. to me it is.  my mentor and friend, Werner Deinemer, from Calpella CA passed away on 9/26.  He ran Werner's House of Games.  He was smart, ultra cool, played poker and was very kind to his customers.  I was his customer for 17 - 20 some years, i guess, can't remember....  so long.  I feel an unfathomable level of guilt in regards to his passing.  I was supposed to be putting up flyers and helping his little shop stay afloat by buying more stuff and getting his web presence up.  My girl of 11 years leaves on July 21, a month from our anniversary and start of 12h yr together.  Heavy depression ensues.  Heavy drinking, skirt chasing and Dwarf Fortress.  Lost / fucked off a chance at a job.  More depression.  more bad.  more dorf.  after basically locking myself away from the world.  No Phone to check on people, no going out to talk to him, no forcing my friends to stop by or check on him. i basically think everything's fine...  hunky do

HOIST THE COLORS

My heart is in a deep state of disbelief, shock,  and other yucky emotions.  guilt. My friend Werner Deinemer (not sure of spelling) passed away on 9/26.   had i not been reeling from nearly dying on the coast on 9/21 i might have been able to see him.  i hate myself for just sitting around  getting drunk and playing dwarf fortress  instead of putting out flyers for his little shop.  that little shop that i had gone to for about 20 years or so.   when C left in July it created a whole in my heart that i can not explain.  i need to help to get my friend buried.  i hate my self.  i feel so bad,.  i feel  so low right now. the bringing in of GameStop brought good deals into the area, but it shut down Werner's shop hard.  He was forced over the last year or so  to even sell knives and crossbow devices to make ends meet out in Calpella.  I have no car and going on the bus isn't that easy, as people tend to pick on me because of my debaucherous past.  I was depressed.  I was
listen to the self. if your body and or something tells you to not go out because of whatever reason.  call a mental health day and don't go anywhere.

10 commandments of gaming

I. Thou Shalt Not make a console that i only buy 1 game for and put it in storage, sell, it, or forget about it within 6 months to 1.25 years.  II. Thou shalt not behave like NEC or Sony. III. Thou shalt not make DLC. IV. Thou shalt try to emulate the days of old wherein you had no pause buttton nor Princess to save. V. Thou Shalt Not stop giving us hot characters to masturbate whilst adoring and or fap to and or to enhance our sexual experience with a partner or device. VI. Thou Shalt Stand dumbfounded when Indie games and consoles get hotter than the trash that the big three kick out like the Pac Man clones of the 80s. VII. Thou Shalt Speak the words of the players when they say to release only complete and full titles, like the past generations. yes they were primitive, but they were COMPLETE! VIII. Thou Shalt stop giving us "Princess To Get", "Go Forward and Shoot", "You Are Our Only Hope", "Violent As *", "Sexier Than *

i like singing.  i just hate how low my voice is and and how is sound dumb sometimes.  thanks, english fucker who busted a full with cap on Stella Artois at me  and busting the fucker on the back of my skull and tazing me.   it fucked my vision up nice n good.  oh, and before anybody says, "why didn't you call the cops?", i did , they couldn't do anything because "there was alcohol involved". I'd love to do poetry, ...  but am...  very weary because of the labeling that goes on with poetry. i write it.  it's hard for me to act, sometimes, it's hard for me to sing because of my short term memory, inability to cycle some practice stuff is slightly frustrating a bit.  notice how i didn't say that i can't do stuff.  just think outside the box, when dealing with me.  for me, there is no box, really, or at least the box was damaged in shipping, and the contents wherein are spilling forth into and out of the said "box".  and what of

Reasons why I really didn't like 8th Grade after Moving to Lake County

In summer Of 1989, before moving to Lake County CA. when we were still living my mom and I were living in Ukiah, we went to Los Angeles to visit friends and family.  While down thee, we went to Burbank.  While in Burbank, I entered a building with a bunch of animation studios walked my self right through the door of DIC Animation City.  I told the receptionist that I would like to begin doing voice overs for some of their fine series available, that I was a huge fan.  The lady called someone from an office.  Two people came to reception area.  The people came out and asked me what I did.  I told them about my screen stuff and about the acting classes I was taking, an that I wanted to be in cartoons so badly.  My friends and classmates all had told me that with the weird voices I did and cartoon voices that I did to distract bullies, make people laugh, and make girls smile., that I had "something", and that I should be in Cartoons and on TV.  I told the suits this, and they as

how to make a 7 sided dice out of a 6 sided dice - by oliver "Haddo" mattson (c)2012 1  VALUE1 2  VALUE2 3  VALUE3 4  VALUE4 5  VALUE5 6  VALUE6 7  VALUE 7 ROLL  [ 1 - 6 ] IF  1 - 3 then allow value 1 - 6 IF 4 - 6 then allow values 2 - 7 the purpose of this is that when one rolls a dice, it is to obtain a random number, if we open the parameter of possibilities with a coinciding amount of values in a table or relative structure which, in effect becomes the seventh side, if looked at i n a weird way.
