Joystiq declared last friday Monkey Island music day, and who am I to argue with them…
so clicky clicky to check out the youtube videos on their site or go to the SCUMM bar for mp3′s, midis and other Monkey Island goodies.
Arrrrr, them was the good times matey.
(note to self: check newsfeeds more often)
(note 2: time to play this again)
Saw this at Binary Bonsai and just had to link it. That’s one sweet video, and the music sounds great as well. It’s good to see & hear stuff like this still gets made.
Best anime EVER. Ok, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but it’s really really good. It’s so good that I watched 23 episodes in a row today, which I can’t remember ever doing with any series. Unlike for example RahXephon the plot just keeps getting better and never lets down as you’re drawn further in along with poor Renton in a world of girls who aren’t quite girls, heroes who turn out to be killers, mechas with a twist, likeable enemies and a fuzzy past.
Haven’t had nearly enough time in the past week to stay up to date so here’s all the things that caught my interest today as I checked all the feeds I’m subscribed to;
Apple’s quietly released their revised MacBook Pro as the first versions had quite a few bumps with the screen humming, the fans being too loud and miscellaneous other stuff.
Then there’s a new blog devoted entirely to telling the story of someone making the switch from Windows to Os X. I hope it’ll be good and give me a few pointers, lord knows I’m sick of the ‘Apple rocks and does no wrong’ crowd as much as the Linux or Windows fancrowd. At least he’s a 30 year old techie like me so I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
And while we’re at it, another reason I want to use Os X for the server which will host the new (and current) site. Why doesn’t Linux have apps like this to manage services?
Something to drool over, for me at least; Optimus Prime CGI. Damn that’s sweet. It’s good enough to almost make me forget the sacrilege of Beast Wars’ Optimus Primal.
Ajax time! And this week, we’re learning how to code our own Ajaxified pop3 client. That’s yet another tutorial for the evergrowing todo list…
And speaking of Ajax, Lightbox, the awesome image script hits 2.0 and by god it’s gorgeous. Check out the image set example. I hope this will get wedged into K2 somehow, it’d be a match made in heaven.
This made me laugh because it’s totally recognizable. Each and every point. I should add a link to this entry for my IM list that opens as a popup with a ‘do you accept this’ button forcing people to read the rules before they even think about adding me. Mwahaha! Or something. Thank you Bryan for making me laugh.
Ah, memories, I can remember that screen from when it was the hottest game around on the, at the time, oh so expensive Commodore 64. Check out the site and play some of the oldies straight away in your browser thanks to the miracles of Java.
Time to figure out how to remap my IOGear’s KVM Ctrl key command to something else so I can hit Ctrl repeatedly.
Think Grave of the fireflies meets Advent Children meets the Matrix meets Schindler’s List and you’re still not halfway close.
It’s hard to explain this movie, except that’s intense, impressive and most definitely memorable.
Watch it.
“Babylon 5 creator and all-round genius J. Michael Straczynski has hinted that a massively-multiplayer online game based on the incomparably superb sci-fi series could be in the pipeline.”
Now if there’s one setting that could get me to finally give the whole MMO(RPG) thing a serious try it would be B5. Potentially interesting to say the least.
“Vietnam vet John Rambo is forced to emerge from his reclusive lifestyle and take justice into his own hands after a girl goes missing.”
Somebody pinch me, I must be dreaming. The poster actually makes me go whee.
Yay for sequels to 80′s box office hits, let’s hope more are yet to come, and with the original actors.
Anyone else looking forward to this or other classic sequels?
