  1. Playing Super Mario Sunshine, a game that manages to be both annoying and addicting!

      It's my 2nd run. The game ages well because you get used to the controls.

      More the former imho... but enough of the latter that I did finish it. Had to kind of force myself to do it.

  2. gp2x, gp32, or an expensive GCW-Zero. Which retro gaming handheld should I get?

      Forget Gp32/Gp2x old and under-powered. If you don't want to spring for the GCWzero then consider an GP2X Caanoo (though finding one might be hard at a good price) I have all these. ?Honestly though, if you want retro gaming in a handheld without hacking a PSP get something like the JXDs7800, comes with installed emulators, you can download the games you want for them (it is all part of the program) and being ANDROID you can install of course more (it is rooted by default) it's my go...

      Yeah, that s7800b looks great, almost too good to play old msx games on it lol. A big screen must be pleasant to the eyes too.

      But I don't like to pay for emulators so the free ones should be good enough.

      The latest OS X binary for dasm is distributed with my version of bB and 7800basic.

       

      My own workflow on Linux is to use a Makefile with targets to build and run in Stella. The same can be done on OS X.

  9. New syndicate game coming! Not an fps! http://satellitereign.com/the-game/

      and 60fps of mandatory commercials of course... :[

  13. I always dream about elevators. They go up and down, sideways. There are large gaps between the floor and the elevator. You can jump from one elevator to the other. Sometimes the elevators have little maintanance elevators inside them.

      If you want to get something on a cart without waiting forever because of shortages, yep, 4K really is the next big thing.

      Re-writing the kernel as a Contiki program was a novel idea, though :)

  19. I just watched Toy Story 1, Wall-E and Monsters University. Amazing how animation has evolved.

  20. Developing an atari 2600 game, how hard could that be?

      According to a certain somebody, if you're "warm to BASIC", if you're no dummy, and if you've made connections at Kinko's, then it's not hard at all!

      With batari Basic, you can make a game in an hour and start selling carts within a week. We don't need no stinking bug testing or polishing. Just squat, shit, and sell.

  21. Should I buy that lego simpsons house :D

  22. On holiday. I've found an arcade with Daytona USA, F355 challenge and scud race. They where playing axel-f.

  23. My macbook (company laptop) has arrived! I'm a now mac convert! (I haven't unpacked it yet)

      The fun machine needs no explanation. Just upgrade the analog sticks to the new style..
