Dark Seed is a point and click game, modified from its SCUMM engine roots, and features a robust and dark theme from the very beginning. You visit other worlds that make little sense, aliens are abundant, and the scenes are vast.

Giger artwork and Michael Cranford of Bard's Tale fame, you are going to land on something special. The music was generic, but haunting in a low budget horror movie way. The game is strangely monotone in color, but advanced in resolution; Giger himself said he could not work with the pixelated 300x200, and insisted on 640x350, at the sacrifice of the enhanced color pallet. The cover comes from one of Giger's famous art works from 1974, Li II.

My son and I have the same name, and live at the same address, so we must be the same person, so one duplicate account must go.

Each time it comes back you can expect some special features DVD's, merch, and behind the scenes content offered up on Kickstarter for a few years before it's time for the next reincarnation. <p></p><p> Very recently I noticed CGR was renamed again back to Classic Game Room, and not one of Mark's other interests- Drawing, making music, reviewing comics and hot wheels cars.. etc. It's been 5 freaking years since a we have seen any retro game content, and his channel starting turning out views in the hundreds, and at one time, I stopping checking in completely. I've bought the merch, have some DVD's- I'm a fan, but let's play to our strengths Mark! We want more Classic Game Room. The fans have spoken, and now we can celebrate a return that I hope lasts more than a short season. </p><p style="text-align: center;"> <b><i><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCh4syoTtvmYlDMeMnwS5dmA">Anyways, enjoy the master in his element. </a></span></i></b></p>Major Asselinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08304167404836161678noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145515848267504130.post-45842474698217136352023-06-24T14:06:00.002-07:002023-06-24T14:06:30.335-07:00New L.O.R.D.

It was only a matter of time before people would enter alcohol in the equation, and to be very honest, I'm glad it did. Without the sweet smell of cheap hotel vodka drinks and the balmy perfume of a well timed Smirnoff Ice, these people may not (speaking very generally) develop the courage needed to procreate and make more nerds. We need more nerds! Before we get started, I will say that this is satire. I'm a nerd as well. <b>I will be ranking each situation and event with a basic 1-10 scale.

They will create inside jokes, have their own terminology, and pride themselves on getting in the hotel it's hosted at ahead of others. An average DragonCon attendee in their second or more year will be at a conservative Level 6 for the duration of the event. Multiple rooms on each floor have tons of bottles of cheap alcohol to share with their fellow nerds to avoid the extravagant prices of booze on the floor. Everyone is going to spring for the <a href="https://monksmeadery.com/dragon-blaster-4-pack/">"Limited Edition" beer/mead named after a dragon with glitter in it.</a> $12 each? No problem. The experience DragonCon attendee can slam two of these, stay at a fun-buzzed Level 6 for 3 consecutive nights easily. Time to change your cosplay to meet your favorite late 90's failed TV show starlet? Time to have a quick mimosa with the girls as well. For those who take DragonCon to a Level 8, I say good on you, way to up your game- but it's safe at level 6. Some people will get drunk their first night, and those that are regulars at the Con will look at them with the "First time?" shame that they know all too well. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiwFnDojFv6FrgGzWZeoYNeigMfkziz4BWNoO1W7AS0qIJ_MrbDCpvecarBkq1mJa0gQwKJynwboc_comnul4WdbsrP0yNX64IT_3O10Cm2HhaU9eaB98eBPFmatlr4WK2TxQPOX6cIRP5jraoe3TboUwXK7Hn4dEVHogzcXaVA2_6q22VrFG__FzNlNQ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="720" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiwFnDojFv6FrgGzWZeoYNeigMfkziz4BWNoO1W7AS0qIJ_MrbDCpvecarBkq1mJa0gQwKJynwboc_comnul4WdbsrP0yNX64IT_3O10Cm2HhaU9eaB98eBPFmatlr4WK2TxQPOX6cIRP5jraoe3TboUwXK7Hn4dEVHogzcXaVA2_6q22VrFG__FzNlNQ=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div>#2 - Friday Night Magic - Level 3</span></i></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"> I have never been to a FNM sober. I get a light buzz on to cut through my intolerance of other's BO, and power through. Lately it has been MUCH more acceptable to drink a beer or three at your Local Game Store, which has been going on during Warhammer games for decades. Level 3 is a silent, comfortable, and light buzz that two decent 7% IPA's can afford you. Sneak out to the parking lot for a smoke and a beer to keep it going, laugh with the boys outside and head back in. Anything after 6PM at the LGS is normally fair game if you keep it chill with the owner. There is one exception to this rule: If they LGS owner takes it up to a Level 5-7 and it drunk super late playing Warhammer 40k, they you can 100% take it right up there with him and do some shots. Never should you surpass the Level of the owner, as he can kick your ass and your shitty pauper deck right the fuck out. If you do get kicked out, proceed to drink by your car for another hour for good measure.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhRnOsmbJNLyY8UY6MVfqRymo1IjMrV51JWbysYVmm6wgn1IewIIrFMYrwX2v63E6GtBbMfpbU4DCKTrsV5GRcK92VNRmEWk_CFzIEQ_eCqONrlmLa25zO3f9wA6_UjcZn5LtbSSctky0cGidjUcK1sN04s2tFK3dhK73LA72NBwYf98GyY6wL2OT2nhw" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhRnOsmbJNLyY8UY6MVfqRymo1IjMrV51JWbysYVmm6wgn1IewIIrFMYrwX2v63E6GtBbMfpbU4DCKTrsV5GRcK92VNRmEWk_CFzIEQ_eCqONrlmLa25zO3f9wA6_UjcZn5LtbSSctky0cGidjUcK1sN04s2tFK3dhK73LA72NBwYf98GyY6wL2OT2nhw=w640-h360" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">#3 Smash Tournaments - Level 4-7</span></i></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">With the advent and lucrative penetration of Barcades in the market, Smash Tournaments in bars has been a huge thing in the last 3-4 years. For the uninitiated, Barcades are exactly like they sound: A bar/arcade, draft beer, and multiple TV's. Typically the tournaments are mostly fun, and it's always on a slower day like a Wednesday. In any case, It's a 100% fact I will drink 3-4 beers and a shot during one of these events just to start, when I'm just watching them. I have no fucking clue what is going on, and why people scream at odd times, and who is favored to win. I need a little alcohol to bring me to the next level so I can enjoy myself. I've found myself drinking somewhere else first, then coming to this kind of event last, as I normally would not. As a spectator, you could easily without shame get to a 7, scream for the right and wrong reasons, and no one would care. As a player, ramp that shit up to a 4. You need to loosen up and feel good and confident, and show your alcoholic dominance against the other Pikachu.

I love anime and have been to an anime convention in my younger years. I've lovingly wrote about it for years on this blog in the most romantic and affectionate way. Since I've been to one, I've noticed that the scene has changed, and younger people are dressing up, and there is a ton that I do not know. For these reasons, I would have to be a solid fucking level 8 if you want me to attend one of these. I know friends who go, and they say how cringe it is, the level of BO, the flea market style vendors.. It all just sounds kind of awful to me. My son, as an potential attendee that is young and going with his friends, I would say this would be a great place to have my first drink and make new memories.. and then never talk about it ever again. I joke! Listen- I totally understand why people want to go to these kind of things and have a blast, and I'm sure it is really fun. It's just not for me. Solid 8, possibly a 9 in the right conditions and there is a high level of Yugioh players around me.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhAfymBwVu-c7_RrbicOf7Q7ZikMXkhI5pG0oWvM7J0lENlV1Tddpv44xDa0FI8qv4itFRaTxB4bdajRQXLSFYXY7C-XVC0bADxVpY7h31jIOoFSZRK2xz9cLwGkWxeds51bbeunwd1ZV3oJ7h-miwEfUXj21406fAwzke9yt0E9KYp5SWvIOyXJry4Vg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="700" data-original-width="1240" height="362" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhAfymBwVu-c7_RrbicOf7Q7ZikMXkhI5pG0oWvM7J0lENlV1Tddpv44xDa0FI8qv4itFRaTxB4bdajRQXLSFYXY7C-XVC0bADxVpY7h31jIOoFSZRK2xz9cLwGkWxeds51bbeunwd1ZV3oJ7h-miwEfUXj21406fAwzke9yt0E9KYp5SWvIOyXJry4Vg=w640-h362" width="640" /></a></div><b><div style="text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">#5 Furry Meetup/Con - Level 10</span></i></b></div></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">From all that I have heard from these conventions and meetups, is that it's all about just banging with your costumes on in some kind of anonymous Eyes Wide Shut style 4chan gang bang. No one knows who you are, where you are from, your background.. you could be a different person and act out your furry persona. It's 100% safe to get Level 10 blasted as a function like this. Pre-game, post-game shots, beers, cocktails, butt-chugs, you name it. Go nuts! It's hot in there so may I suggest something with ice in it. How do you drink with the costume on? There has to be a way. There is no way these meetups aren't happening with extreme levels of alcohol in the equation.

I always had a hard time with DOSBox on my PC, and getting it just right, so this was a new revelation for me, really eye opening, and a creative use of emulation.

CE is based on an amazingly well written book series called When Gravity Fails by George Effinger. Forget all you know about Bladerunner, here is the dark and gritty version in a place called Budayeen. Dropping with sex, drugs and ultra violence- this was the first game I played that pulled no punches. Before this, I had been playing Secret of Mana for Super Nintendo, so you could say this was a huge change indeed. I remember getting to a point at a bar where a woman propositioned me for sex, and it showed her ass. I had to quickly exit the game until my parents fell asleep before I attracted too much attention. I had never played or read Neuromancer, or even heard of William Gibson at this point of my life.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjlKmwd9wVLWU5ELz8ILsDwPh6TjjuLyOGZr3hZ-zN8Z6BI3jq0RbeUR_hXdClvoFjJs-c4ORtT4VzHmp2Yww_tU2pioHWO0lRcCnDGJMIKYuOaQQ7J7vHjqobv2NXTwV2jQqmlDnr_fHWi_gZWdIJTPsd8CEyFtNaXECGBviB-5DFE_YASU0H_Aa5_Og" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="159" data-original-width="268" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjlKmwd9wVLWU5ELz8ILsDwPh6TjjuLyOGZr3hZ-zN8Z6BI3jq0RbeUR_hXdClvoFjJs-c4ORtT4VzHmp2Yww_tU2pioHWO0lRcCnDGJMIKYuOaQQ7J7vHjqobv2NXTwV2jQqmlDnr_fHWi_gZWdIJTPsd8CEyFtNaXECGBviB-5DFE_YASU0H_Aa5_Og=w400-h238" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">The story is top notch.</span></i></b></div><br /> Story on rails would be a good descriptor of how the game plays out. You are aimed in the right direction and set free to talk and see whatever you want. Very close in story and vibe to Johnny Mnemonic really. Spend too much time talking to bartenders, you get a call on your watch to keep things on track. Almost right away you get in some fights, which keep things super exciting and add the super violent gritty nature of the game. Absolute masterclass in storytelling and pace, even for an old game.

I see a lot of inspiration from that movie, Robocop 2, and the movie Hackers. All movies that are guilty pleasures of mine, and really know how to channel the 90's energy. This is an obvious TV movie to series launchpad for the network, and just never really worked out, was believable in anyway, and didn't have enough star power to keep it moving.

The only solution for this distressed city is to police it with a crack team of inline skating 20-somethings with jetpacks on. <a href="https://youtu.be/LT3cERVRoQo">David Bowie's "I'm Afraid of Americans"</a> plays over the crime montage, which in this version, has been removed due to copywrite issues. I love this song and it the whole Nine-inch Nails thing he was going through at time. I remember seeing Howard Stern's birthday party on the E-channel, and watching him perform live thinking how cool he was, and questioned what time period he belonged in.

We get a really good example of what the team can do, jumping over trash cans and on to the backs of small time crooks. Ironically the city does not look <i>that</i> overwhelmed with people/cars in these scenes and montages, so a motorcycle would be more appropriate in 90% of these situations.

This huge chase culminates in an abandoned warehouse that has super long stretches of open area. After a quick unnecessary grind down some stairs, and a wrist activated pulse of the jet-pack, our Blade Squad was easily able to overtake a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_CBR900RR">sport bike</a> on full throttle, and stop it just in time from hitting a wall. This is pretty much the theme for the rest of the movie. Really outlandish jump takes, jet-pack pulsing, and very little of the severe congestion and highly populated streets to navigate, which was kind of the reason this team was put together in the first place.

I've found myself checking views here and there, but for the most part, I never look. I do get excited when I get a comment or email adding to the conversation. I have another blog that gets much higher engagement, so that fills the need for the interaction that I crave. The blog is just my outlet for whatever I'm reading about or what I'm interested about at that moment in time. Beers get consumed, I want to vent to someone and talk to a friend, and because I've moved so much, I don't really have any of those. The blog has helped me on more than one occasion feel better about my situation, and myself. A peak under the hood- I spend about 15 minutes per post, I don't research what I want to write about, and I just keep a few windows open so I can google things and copy links.. it's about as low effort as it can be without looking actually low effort. Writing blogs is kinda my thing and I've been doing it since the mid-90's before it even had a name. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: x-large;">Thank you.</span></i></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> Thank you to all the repeat visitors and new visitors who have supported me and read the blog over the years. Seriously, I fucking mean it. This is your blog and I made it for both of us. I wish I had some more interesting things to say that does not have anything to do with beer, work and robot tits, but hey, thems the brakes. My hobby is collecting books, so if you want to hear/read about me actually put time and money into posts, <a href="http://firsteditionfantasy.blogspot.com/">you can head down that way</a>, to First Edition Fantasy. I don't post frequently, but when I do, there is typically a lot of time and effort, custom pictures and going out into the market to find books to talk about. Buying books, driving, and taking pictures as well as researching values and topics all take multiple hours. Anyways! Thanks again for listening to my rants, and keep coming back to see what will randomly pop into my head next. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p>Major Asselinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08304167404836161678noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145515848267504130.post-41165980858487646012022-11-29T18:52:00.005-08:002022-11-29T18:54:29.046-08:00"Unlisted Cheats" is the Unsung Hero of the Retro Gaming Community.<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj9zNFl0bYNFGgCU6iyMUqumsPr1nmS3n4SeGStVBLjrRU-990oQCq3gxiixrKDswR9sIp97HFY-vzC33qgefOWaPJnZRR3hksq-uSsrMcwLJW45BPqJhNfKQgkjjXQ5FmyocAjRaULER554o54SQS0wYCeCUtaqDPBIPUO4je8Dg5sHwUXQGWWdjYBIg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="514" data-original-width="602" height="342" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj9zNFl0bYNFGgCU6iyMUqumsPr1nmS3n4SeGStVBLjrRU-990oQCq3gxiixrKDswR9sIp97HFY-vzC33qgefOWaPJnZRR3hksq-uSsrMcwLJW45BPqJhNfKQgkjjXQ5FmyocAjRaULER554o54SQS0wYCeCUtaqDPBIPUO4je8Dg5sHwUXQGWWdjYBIg=w400-h342" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://twitter.com/new_cheats_news?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1556728567328870411%7Ctwgr%5E7f61d8cbba092b53895ea7d8471d5ab94ee274f8%7Ctwcon%5Es2_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fnintendoeverything.com%2Fsuper-punch-out-new-codes-discovered-including-multiplayer%2F"><i><b><span style="font-size: large;">@new_cheat_news </span></b></i></a> <b><i><span style="font-size: large;">is breaking retro ground.</span></i></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> It's rare, but sometimes new cheats are discovered for very old games, and when it happens, it's always a buzz on the internet.

This was matched with an animated short drawn and animated in a Japanese style and influenced by the pulp magazines and comic books of the late 70's and early 80s by Walter Cavazzuti & Giovanni Ferrari. The result was what you see above in all its pulpy Heavy Metal glory. </div><div style="text-align: left;"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi3wEatXlRmXDShdZaVuYdnrv30-HvmS39l_XGWdMs8nz_6Uf3t1Czaj5sBR2fX9JJBYbejueKX5cWDkaR_20FCYM2Mhl4YKXM5QWyZl9tnQfnU3q-3m9YmpBG-bOOfc049vTQNCg48PLdjwtl6z0lydyJ8DThta--JlJqf1p77g1k2q1WL8zYNvGP6Gg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi3wEatXlRmXDShdZaVuYdnrv30-HvmS39l_XGWdMs8nz_6Uf3t1Czaj5sBR2fX9JJBYbejueKX5cWDkaR_20FCYM2Mhl4YKXM5QWyZl9tnQfnU3q-3m9YmpBG-bOOfc049vTQNCg48PLdjwtl6z0lydyJ8DThta--JlJqf1p77g1k2q1WL8zYNvGP6Gg" width="240" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjg_sRMt0mhKUQv_-SfquY1actFk_BsSAE9seFQToWx2GNFJDoNrRp7RK5ZmA_JhW5dJZuSRIPGImb2TjhaCN4LEg06j3poC4KSviH-X-NVHbgkaoZMRv0atBunNL4PAb1NiMGFccYtfnxSuMJH_krUYs88BsqdgYF5DOfLObQas626FTM7i0885LW7bw" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjg_sRMt0mhKUQv_-SfquY1actFk_BsSAE9seFQToWx2GNFJDoNrRp7RK5ZmA_JhW5dJZuSRIPGImb2TjhaCN4LEg06j3poC4KSviH-X-NVHbgkaoZMRv0atBunNL4PAb1NiMGFccYtfnxSuMJH_krUYs88BsqdgYF5DOfLObQas626FTM7i0885LW7bw" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">You think Heavy Metal was some kind of influence here?</span></i></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> You can clearly see the inspiration of the music video, art and album covers is based on the covers of Heavy Metal and Omni magazine. Raising Venice is an obvious choice for the Italian creators, and the mix of the rock-opera-roller-boogie vibe is strangely a pretty good marriage for the animation. Rondo Veneziano made several other animated shorts to pair with his music over the years, all based in science fiction and high fantasy. Quite the reality check when you compare the quality and music of this animation and some of the other things we find beautiful and different today. If you dig around enough, you may find out what you think is unique has already been done, and occasionally.. in some ways better. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Enjoy some HQ animation cells below:</span></i></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEijbCGXar7-4anX-4hdAJF_HacdkRkLXC-_v7XWY9SuIlzDpFpz1-8O_LSrB-XXj9Lt8fAQXJPSL_tB0Uj-7_gkclLhb6ReRbfqcEHuJm7Wl-AfZSoh2PHrYuhX7V3b2W_66zf2AlvU9CUd7bVuIe1VajlzeMstHJrll29Je_t4ZXwEtdG8saHllTWj4w" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="200" data-original-width="800" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEijbCGXar7-4anX-4hdAJF_HacdkRkLXC-_v7XWY9SuIlzDpFpz1-8O_LSrB-XXj9Lt8fAQXJPSL_tB0Uj-7_gkclLhb6ReRbfqcEHuJm7Wl-AfZSoh2PHrYuhX7V3b2W_66zf2AlvU9CUd7bVuIe1VajlzeMstHJrll29Je_t4ZXwEtdG8saHllTWj4w=w640-h160" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh6eAVG_YVpwP5ltgrx4m26omrmAh1DjLBtP3IWch1JOgXOcFUqqT9j_Y0etAVuFuH0m2jFa4-tsPesghYThbtj3K6PM6YeqHxSI1bT0o69obEFJAF6GvIvrFuy0ToIaWVFIBuVGPE7qpCKr2GpcEUiIVTeiokKf-kxBLZEjHf3wVlLb4FPEStaxMHG1g" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="200" data-original-width="800" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh6eAVG_YVpwP5ltgrx4m26omrmAh1DjLBtP3IWch1JOgXOcFUqqT9j_Y0etAVuFuH0m2jFa4-tsPesghYThbtj3K6PM6YeqHxSI1bT0o69obEFJAF6GvIvrFuy0ToIaWVFIBuVGPE7qpCKr2GpcEUiIVTeiokKf-kxBLZEjHf3wVlLb4FPEStaxMHG1g=w640-h160" width="640" /></a></div><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjbhus84Z-H9rOhalOePz4NwS8BMyTglNSO8WIHObQ3_6R6auyZ2xy328h_xMEb1izw139WR8e_7jdr10Ske2GXWwsA5UaO1DCG8Yg-AGtZqAD3oKYKXV43Rcz38FWnaOZUKWVmKaLWgWO771kQl8FXN1x6kRDlh-7MX3YIbAcSUvQJ1_yoV-qucjXVFw" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="200" data-original-width="800" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjbhus84Z-H9rOhalOePz4NwS8BMyTglNSO8WIHObQ3_6R6auyZ2xy328h_xMEb1izw139WR8e_7jdr10Ske2GXWwsA5UaO1DCG8Yg-AGtZqAD3oKYKXV43Rcz38FWnaOZUKWVmKaLWgWO771kQl8FXN1x6kRDlh-7MX3YIbAcSUvQJ1_yoV-qucjXVFw=w640-h160" width="640" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh5WVWjIw2OpLhV3g-GjRT11_pIrdNgjr0S1RfqE1wkSCkU2QuofqvSdToQdrgYov-ssislNKRzggdgmcCNTCj7iTrVgymhMrGDEeqAySz9hLxfuPlrcgT_eKAkCE4kggVP85D0ZPm-K7hArEn3i3EfUR1bWP8LSjLeRiauqXyqlgeCqqlb_TpEDXoPrg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="200" data-original-width="800" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh5WVWjIw2OpLhV3g-GjRT11_pIrdNgjr0S1RfqE1wkSCkU2QuofqvSdToQdrgYov-ssislNKRzggdgmcCNTCj7iTrVgymhMrGDEeqAySz9hLxfuPlrcgT_eKAkCE4kggVP85D0ZPm-K7hArEn3i3EfUR1bWP8LSjLeRiauqXyqlgeCqqlb_TpEDXoPrg=w640-h160" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg_vrK2xKtznhVkXEpfyvrhUqDaNekh9eKKztXEgKjFtxd4wLC_sZiyOwv7OBBnK7pJz7lrzp4ED2eUes1BXr6GOxm_l2SSkw_F8w93kk4IwAx1PNYpPDAwJSUt_fcdyzaA0S3fvn2DtiU4d7yd6PSVgTWUrHm_yWkunALeIcirs_B4PxGpSLQifGRFaQ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="204" data-original-width="800" height="164" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg_vrK2xKtznhVkXEpfyvrhUqDaNekh9eKKztXEgKjFtxd4wLC_sZiyOwv7OBBnK7pJz7lrzp4ED2eUes1BXr6GOxm_l2SSkw_F8w93kk4IwAx1PNYpPDAwJSUt_fcdyzaA0S3fvn2DtiU4d7yd6PSVgTWUrHm_yWkunALeIcirs_B4PxGpSLQifGRFaQ=w640-h164" width="640" /></a></div></div></div>Major Asselinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08304167404836161678noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145515848267504130.post-13886067914257644892022-11-06T17:28:00.006-08:002022-11-06T17:42:48.246-08:00Robot Carnival (1987) Full Movie!<p> </p>

The music is pure 80's chillwave cheese, and is as good today as it was then. Other anthology OVA's like this came later after Carnival's success: Neo Tokyo, Memories, Genius Party, and Short Peace to name a few.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiTBMScXIEUYHT8jwKi5qT7JvkdswfrCJ_7Is2kKSWp7H-KuivL1FkTdZGcv-Vx5Su51D2VEwpJHZs0b-p1uYkitaXw9EgtRbrRe9kYGmC6c_B0QTdnbmep_8gwk1FoAdpei1CwIh4Htj0U8xKkSWqi_QQUerLUoh80ag3Vevo-ObeSTFeFL5s0Axk2ww" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="277" data-original-width="498" height="357" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiTBMScXIEUYHT8jwKi5qT7JvkdswfrCJ_7Is2kKSWp7H-KuivL1FkTdZGcv-Vx5Su51D2VEwpJHZs0b-p1uYkitaXw9EgtRbrRe9kYGmC6c_B0QTdnbmep_8gwk1FoAdpei1CwIh4Htj0U8xKkSWqi_QQUerLUoh80ag3Vevo-ObeSTFeFL5s0Axk2ww=w640-h357" width="640" /></a></div><br /> This movie is absolutely stunning in every way. The themes range from serious and dramatic to sincere comedy. The high level of detail for its time, and the number of drawn frames is really a testament to the animators who put this together trying to show off their best stuff. Do yourself a favor and watch this classic before YouTube removes it for some reason. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjxqGD_J8pDloogXCqoiHUVG5-9DX9oPMyyn_B942HX9qCYyelERp1CJxk1zkJQchWWrcYp4YiMmTIRuLZqT32svAQ4dIbIkLSMmL8q7gclpPQ-w01m0orHgndLyF0wunLZoGkju2zKr2XLqVD45bzlXXm-PEACCEFSU-UhGS0weauz8ecQvyis4yJMhQ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="298" data-original-width="498" height="382" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjxqGD_J8pDloogXCqoiHUVG5-9DX9oPMyyn_B942HX9qCYyelERp1CJxk1zkJQchWWrcYp4YiMmTIRuLZqT32svAQ4dIbIkLSMmL8q7gclpPQ-w01m0orHgndLyF0wunLZoGkju2zKr2XLqVD45bzlXXm-PEACCEFSU-UhGS0weauz8ecQvyis4yJMhQ=w640-h382" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><br /></span></div><i><div style="text-align: center;"><i><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Enjoy the show.</span></b></i></div></i><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Major Asselinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08304167404836161678noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145515848267504130.post-11291913527359001952022-09-10T19:00:00.003-07:002022-09-10T19:00:48.844-07:00William Hjortsberg posted some Legend behind the scenes photos<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgADPejEB-ZIsy6SeRtceUt_9sZ8J1imfft3y0Q0h2CseTuTS_mUMHJH5R48FrTtCWdPoKlQVQbMBZPXt8u1DkktdkmvNN_O_h9NLULL3dg-Z2XvIYgWQ4HQQnKDSw2KMeQIXGW58Gsy-ft2U4X5UsuV_oWJWjAEt7ZfczhKltIV2OuAiUZr-Yohz_ZKw" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="339" data-original-width="500" height="434" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgADPejEB-ZIsy6SeRtceUt_9sZ8J1imfft3y0Q0h2CseTuTS_mUMHJH5R48FrTtCWdPoKlQVQbMBZPXt8u1DkktdkmvNN_O_h9NLULL3dg-Z2XvIYgWQ4HQQnKDSw2KMeQIXGW58Gsy-ft2U4X5UsuV_oWJWjAEt7ZfczhKltIV2OuAiUZr-Yohz_ZKw=w640-h434" width="640" /></a></div><div style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Click <a href="http://williamhjortsberg.com/film-titles/legend/legend-behind-the-scenes/">here</a> to go to Hjortsberg's website that has the pictures and descriptions. </span></i></b></div><div style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"> </span><span> I've mentioned on <a href="https://unknownhole.blogspot.com/2021/07/why-1986-movie-legend-is-important-to-me.html">several</a> <a href="https://unknownhole.blogspot.com/2010/09/legend-under-rated-movie.html">other</a> occasions how much I like the movie Legend, starring Tom Cruise and Mia Sara.

This post may have been up for years on <a href="http://williamhjortsberg.com/film-titles/legend/legend-behind-the-scenes/">Hjortsberg's website</a>, but I just stumbled upon it today. I found some other behind the scenes pictures on the Tim Curry Facebook, as well as Robert Picardo's Facebook. It's a really good to time to be a fan; you can just put in like 30 minutes of effort and really have some exiting stuff to look at. Older actors and actresses are reminiscing about old times as they age through the industry, so they are sharing on social media more than ever. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> <b><i>Anyways, click the link above, and enjoy some of the other pictures I found below:</i></b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

This movie inspired Corey Haim to pick up rollerblading full time, and often talked about it in interviews.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjGoCYvoFe1EcHpGe7Kon18Je4ggDWffgFCsVDqOghWo8Gij6stDYz7_j9aJWWYDNRjj2Hcz_0re8QlgNG_4Slrfc7B5j7j-VrcZD2dzAvW4FlO_ITecQLRa9dtJfTtwKMIKMbc0GiOdlx412eB8v_cqCex0XT2lVHx_jzNvFOAakAliaRUEh0w-PoB3A" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="384" data-original-width="521" height="474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjGoCYvoFe1EcHpGe7Kon18Je4ggDWffgFCsVDqOghWo8Gij6stDYz7_j9aJWWYDNRjj2Hcz_0re8QlgNG_4Slrfc7B5j7j-VrcZD2dzAvW4FlO_ITecQLRa9dtJfTtwKMIKMbc0GiOdlx412eB8v_cqCex0XT2lVHx_jzNvFOAakAliaRUEh0w-PoB3A=w640-h474" width="640" /></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;">Skating in this way allows for perfect accuracy.</span></i></b></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> My brother and I would wear one of my dad's trenchcoats and put skates on, and pretended we were part of the Rollerboys.

Did the world need a 55 minute movie made in 8 Bit PC art? Don't get me wrong, this is worth a watch. As people get more nostalgic for their DOS games, this film is going to resonate with more and more fans of the genre. If you just submit a little and watch this without asking for too much, it is actually a pretty soothing 55 minutes. Does the intro to Space Quest IV give you the warm fuzzies? Then this is 100% for you.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjIMTksLviSonEu2ehlLuA5mPrw2yFsH5DnmOog3lRTSOPn8gbFIsZQN6mpFhIRmuGzrTjTyC4wRybfCrYtNpc2KWkXFa-7uMeEXjZO1CXnu9FK72h3ih7IDtxFjPmReY76F3NnZJXh0hWVr_mckbsT2yN83BayF9x5EDzb_FPiIgdjIYxQ1rQpNKTm4g" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="733" data-original-width="595" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjIMTksLviSonEu2ehlLuA5mPrw2yFsH5DnmOog3lRTSOPn8gbFIsZQN6mpFhIRmuGzrTjTyC4wRybfCrYtNpc2KWkXFa-7uMeEXjZO1CXnu9FK72h3ih7IDtxFjPmReY76F3NnZJXh0hWVr_mckbsT2yN83BayF9x5EDzb_FPiIgdjIYxQ1rQpNKTm4g=w520-h640" width="520" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Half fruit, half person, this sums up the movie perfectly.</span></i></b></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> Created by Ikko Ono on a MSX 8 bit computer, the video plays like a slideshow, and less like a movie. One piece of surreal art moves to the next, thinly animated at it's core. You have to really use your imagination at times. About 10 minutes in I was asking myself.. Why did Sony fund this? They had to obviously know this was not going to go over well. God, they even considered a sequel at some point. I don't want to shit on this too much, because It's super interesting, and I think it's important in many ways. Matt Repetski rediscovered this gem on Laserdisc at a thrift store, and uploaded this to his youtube channel, which makes you wonder; how many other things like this got made and we forgot about them in the stream of time?</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blog.gingerbeardman.com/2021/09/03/the-flying-luna-clipper/"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>More info on this oddity here. </b></span></a></div>Major Asselinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08304167404836161678noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145515848267504130.post-36841145273404057052022-08-30T15:08:00.005-07:002022-09-04T14:20:43.008-07:00Dragon's Heaven OVA (1988) 4K Full Movie!<p style="text-align: center;"> <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wmqvquge654" title="YouTube video player" width="640"></iframe></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Dragon's Heaven - Upscaled to 4K!</span></i></b></p><p style="text-align: left;"> Dragon's Heaven was way ahead of it's time in 1988.

The only downside is the duration of the OVA is pretty short, and we don't get to explore this world more than just this little movie.</p>Major Asselinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08304167404836161678noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145515848267504130.post-67158362224138972492022-08-26T18:02:00.007-07:002022-08-26T18:05:40.332-07:00Thunder Run (1985) Full movie!<p style="text-align: center;"> <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pydPbih6lCw" title="YouTube video player" width="640"></iframe></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">You may be wondering, why 1985's Thunder Run?

Some light gaming, multi-monitor workloads, and a little bit of benchmarking have been done in that period of time.</p><p>I bought the computer <a href="https://www.bestbuy.com/site/msi-gs76-17-3-fhd-360hz-gaming-laptop-intel-core-i9-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3070-1tb-ssd-32gb-memory/6466865.p?skuId=6466865">here.</a> </p><p><b>Specs:</b></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>99.99wh battery</li><li>32gb 3600hz ddr4</li><li>1tb m.2 drive</li><li>2tb back up solid state drive</li><li>i9 11900K</li><li>RTX 3070 (full desktop version)</li><li>360hz refresh IPS panel</li></ul><div><b>Summary:</b></div><div><br /></div><div> It's a lot overkill for what I needed at work, and it was never intended for such a purpose. I have a nice work laptop- i7 11700, 16gb ram, touch screen, fingerprint scanner. Basic, but much better than average for spreadsheets and email. The screen cracked, and in the process of repair, the shop damaged the laptop so it's being replaced. I had to use this new laptop that I ordered from Bestbuy as my new work replacement in the interim. I ordered this particular laptop with the idea that I would be gaming out in the world a little more being that I travel so much. This is by far the most expensive and most powerful laptop I've ever had. I spec'ed it out with the only option not checked being the 64gb of ram; 32 should be enough for any game or anything really. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Pros:</b></div><div><br /></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>It's just lightning fast in all desktop processes. As good or better than my overclocked i7 10700k desktop in a compact package.</li><li>The refresh rate is insane. I could not tell that much of a different between 240 and 360, but there was a difference. I felt like I needed to get a new mouse for some reason it was so good. Colors are bright and blacks are inky black in any situation. When compared to other laptops around the office, the screen is far and away better.</li><li>Lots of airflow that I can see both on the top and the bottom of the case. I'm using a laptop cooler, but I don't think it's doing much more actual cooling.</li><li>The battery when using the desktop graphics and not the RTX 3070 lasts a very long time, almost the whole day. When the graphic card is activated and when playing a game, it lasts about an hour and a half which is not bad at all.</li><li>The case is metal and feels insanely sturdy with no flex at all. It's heavy, beautifully machined, and feels like you are a bad bitch. it's thin for it's weight as well. </li><li>The keyboard has decent travel and is a pleasure to type on.</li><li>Trackpad is a great size, large and the multi-touch control panel works great.</li><li>Hinges for the monitor are not made of plastic.</li></ul><div><b>Cons:</b></div></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>The sound, although full and bright, is very low volume. My other MSI laptop that is half the price is 3 times as loud. I've tried drivers, settings, any little trick to get it higher to no avail.</li><li>The fans are screaming loud during gaming or anything that uses the video card. You can adjust this, but only between a few pre-determined settings to get a somewhat quieter fan curve. It's a hot little machine. </li><li>Speaking of hot, this PC unless on the highest fan settings, teeters on the dangerous side of thermal throttling all the time. Just let those fans scream and get use to it.</li><li>Switching to using the video card instead of on-board graphics is a really painful process that you will not know if you got right or not, and even then, will only work on the applications you designate. The only way to ensure it uses the video card all the time is to deactivate internal graphics in the device manager.</li><li>2 USB ports does not seem like enough to me. There are a ton of other IO options so you can break out your dongles and get to work, but I'm use to at least 3-4 USB ports.</li><li>I like that it's a heavy machine, but it's heavy, so that's a con.</li><li>Won't fit in a normal 17-17.3 laptop bag. It has a little extra meat on it, so in most cases will not fit in your budget minded laptop bag. </li></ul></div><div><b>In Games:</b></div><div><br /></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>It runs overwatch at the full 360hz, full ultra everything with not so much as a drop of sweat. The fans turn on and off during play like a jet taking off and I like it.</li><li>Playing Control was awesome. Full RTX DLSS at a high FPS, no issues. Video card temps got pretty high. Having the full RTX 3070 and not the laptop version has it's benefits and it shows.</li></ul><div><b>Conclusion:</b></div><div><br /></div><div> I played a few various other games and there was no stopping this machine. I have the luxury of having a really nice desktop that plays everything on full settings the same way, but I have never experienced this in a laptop before without all kinds of issues.. even with the same or better specs. I feel like this is a true desktop replacement hooked up to a second monitor, keyboard and mouse. Something durable enough to throw in the car and head out without worry. </div></div><p></p><p></p><div><br /></div><p></p><div></div><p><br /></p>Major Asselinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08304167404836161678noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145515848267504130.post-9226230819000400222022-06-13T18:34:00.005-07:002022-06-13T18:34:36.192-07:00Legend of the Red Dragon (LORD) Tournament!<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgjKypya723RjRwWgzpJ3CLsEz72eiG5ebMWPbdnifYSrYjOkVXhHqrYsAw3w7G73d12boSGqSFU7iE4FzboOAiTnNouGCjFPGWmEHMPV64SAueGO31qYqFZ6AZ44BeC5SE1-5uXZEBI-2e3BiwF3HxwWEOIQhJONvX-vV0msp-EPwamKS5baka-yRtGw" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="607" data-original-width="642" height="605" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgjKypya723RjRwWgzpJ3CLsEz72eiG5ebMWPbdnifYSrYjOkVXhHqrYsAw3w7G73d12boSGqSFU7iE4FzboOAiTnNouGCjFPGWmEHMPV64SAueGO31qYqFZ6AZ44BeC5SE1-5uXZEBI-2e3BiwF3HxwWEOIQhJONvX-vV0msp-EPwamKS5baka-yRtGw=w640-h605" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://serionbbs.com/">Click here for more information</a>!</span></i></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://embed.ftelnet.ca/?Hostname=connect.serionbbs.com&Port=2323&Proxy=proxy-us-ga.ftelnet.ca&ProxyPort=1123&ProxyPortSecure=11235&AutoConnect=true&ConnectionType=telnet&Emulation=ansi-bbs&TopButtons=true&VirtualKeyboard=off&fbclid=IwAR19RxHzyGOzY2fG9d1d5AbINbVSHMbFdjMlqoNWwOjhFun0dTBpNBbUoAc">Connect to the BBS Directly with this link</a></span></i></b></p><p></p>Major Asselinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08304167404836161678noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145515848267504130.post-86918978226421577322022-05-19T18:56:00.009-07:002022-12-17T10:03:10.430-08:00Brainscan (1994) Full Movie!<p style="text-align: center;">

Look at all this cool shit you can do in the 80's.</span></i></b></div></b><br /></span></div> What is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperCard">Hypercard</a> you ask? It's one of the very first hypermedia systems that gained any kind of traction before the adoption of the World Wide Web. Links, audio, video, and text- all presented as an easy to use development kit free of charge to the lucky people who bought an early Macintosh or Apple IIGS. Think of Hypercard as a primitive Microsoft Powerpoint, but with a more simple front end and without any kind of database engine. You could essentially code something without the knowledge of coding, redirect and link different media types, and add controls, links and text in the "Stack". A Stack is terminology for a bunch of documents, individual documents are called 'Cards'. Basically it's just how the documents and data are stored, and how you link to them. Compare this to how Powerpoint has slides and how they link and interact. Using this subsystem, Hypercard users could make presentations, educational software, or even games. What is a good example of a game with Hypercard you ask?<p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhVNAJx-JPdfHMtik1rapDwxbF81mFa3cLZ1b5Eft18FfMmm3GwZiiUDFCHEdozeU2yTXo4KNH8q55kKTAQQ9w5iNS9DqXFOEbbJovFIx_U27DEzxpl6KpZfVy1ScxJHtI0i4uiQWN5_Un3O5EvpmBnQBNm9SSap70OmxgyhD7k7Oe1ORVpLiOQCCJujw" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1443" data-original-width="1638" height="353" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhVNAJx-JPdfHMtik1rapDwxbF81mFa3cLZ1b5Eft18FfMmm3GwZiiUDFCHEdozeU2yTXo4KNH8q55kKTAQQ9w5iNS9DqXFOEbbJovFIx_U27DEzxpl6KpZfVy1ScxJHtI0i4uiQWN5_Un3O5EvpmBnQBNm9SSap70OmxgyhD7k7Oe1ORVpLiOQCCJujw=w400-h353" width="400" /></a></div><b><div style="text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;">Ahhhh Myst. The game that changed everything. Including making people buy 1x speed tray loading CD drives.</span></i></b></div></b><p></p><p> Yes. This primitive black and white program with limited programming abilities, was just a bunch of Hypercard stacks linked together to play animation or show pictures and audio at predetermined times, was used to create this groundbreaking game that we know and love. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myst">Myst</a> is a game that was revolutionary for it's day, had industry leading graphics and cutting edge gameplay that changed the way people thought how game should be designed and played. Unfortunately, for every one game like Myst, there was <a href="https://archive.org/details/hypercardstacks?&sort=-week&page=2">100000 Hypercard games</a> uploaded to Keyword: Download on AOL that defied logic and sense. Let's look at a couple shining examples below. I'll provide links to all the games, all you have to do is click the green power button on the screen, it will load the rom into the Macintosh Emulator automatically, and all you have to do is open the disk on the virtual desktop to launch the program.

There is no Nirvana to which we attain. Rather, we seek an enlightenment of this, the sensual world, to be used here and now in the present, in acts of the flesh.

We are monkey nerve junkies, ever alert for the mainline primacy of unfiltered experienceĆ¢a visceral knowing of the moment as absolute apotheosis, carnal crescendo, culmination of desire.
