Check out the latest post on craigslist from a pissed off  civilian who was solicited David Guetta tickets for $650.

Michael Guetta

Special thanks once again to Arv for digging this up

My friends and I wanted to grab tickets to the David Guetta show at the commodore on Dec 30th, but since he did ’sexy bitch’, he has apparently become the new MJ. The tickets (which were going for $75.00) were sold out on ticketmaster.ca by 11 am. The cocksuckers who bought 14 tickets at a time started lighting up Craigslist to sell their tickets to the highest bidder. Tickets were going for $250-$350.

Some people, however, are not out for money. Check out this guys Craigslist ad and try to realize that this is serious. I would like to thank Arv for finding this ad and sharing it with me. I have emailed this guy and will share his reply as soon as I get it. Click the image to view the full sized post…

Or, view the actual Craigslist ad here (if the guy hasn’t taken it down out of shame): http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/van/tix/1482703999.html

Before we begin, let us soothe those first dreaded thoughts. No, the commodore was not destroyed in the process. They can simply clip the 16 wires they added to interface the keyboard and be back to stock. Breathe a sigh of relief, and enjoy the twypper, a twitter wall made from a commodore SQ1000.

[Alex] needed to make an interesting project for his companies Openspace/hack day.  A friend, suggested a twitter wall, and that’s when [Alex] got the idea for a typewriter. After a quick search, he found oomlaut’s typewriter.  They didn’t let that deter them from making their own version though. They found a nice fully functional commodore SQ1000 and began hacking. Ultimately they simply decided to use an Arduino to short the key switches to simulate typing. There are all kinds of details on the necessary steps to get the typing to function absolutely correct on the project page. Over all it was well done and we’re happy to see that it can be undone just as easily.

We’re on a bit of an oldtimer kick here- including vintage Opels,  German-market Fords, and other European “heavy metal” (by the way, how great is it that the term “oldtimer” is a legal definition in the Netherlands and Germany?). It’s hard not to be intrigued by these cars – and the culture behind them – when they’re unavailable to us and differ markedly from the US domestic market and its, er, culture. The same could be said about the Fords and Holdens from down under.

The ultimate irony, of course, is that the cars from abroad likely looked to and took their cues from the America of yore (cool America) for inspiration- and appear to continue to do so in the culture that lives on today (albeit with a distinctly European flair). And thus the circle becomes complete.

As for America, it remains to be seen whether it will ever find its cool compass again.

Computers: The Heart of the 1980s Home

Familiar holiday tales tell of a time in the late 19th century when loving families would gather around the hearth to give thanks for their many blessings, sing songs, read Dickens, and roast chestnuts. But by the early 1980s — if you believed computer ads of the day — the home computer had become the center of the traditional nuclear family. Chestnuts  were replaced by joysticks and computer manuals.

With the holidays just around the corner, let’s carefully peel back the fabric of time and examine ten vintage advertisements from a more civilized age when dazed, zombified android families found themselves irresistibly drawn to home PCs.

As you look through these ads, keep this in mind: When was the last time more than two people sat around your computer?

TRS-80 Color Computer 2 (1984)

Father: “I’m so glad we bought you this new computer, Gloria. With it, your knowledge and critical thinking skills will accelerate to levels far beyond those of your peers.”

Daughter: (zombie gargle)

Weekly Reader Family Software (1983)

From the expression of the boy in yellow on the left, you’d think that Weekly Reader Family Software had created the most gruesome crash simulator yet committed to any digital media.

And that’s plum OK with dad.

CBS Software (1983)

“See, dad? If I press this key, I can calculate the GDP of the entire Pacific Rim.”

“Sorry, son. I was thinking about cheeseburgers.”

TRS-80 Model 4 (1983)

“The Great Leader told us to burn our computing paraphernalia.”

Commodore 64 (1983)

Kid of 1983: “This is what Saturn looks like. It has a mass of 5.6846×1026 KG!”

Kid of 2009: “This is what a LOLcat looks like! It eats its own #@$%!”

CBS Software (1984)

“Gather ’round the computer, kids. It’s time to read the instruction manual.”

“Yaaaaay!”

Edupro (1983)

Product photographers in the 1980s would have you contort your body in unpleasant ways to use a computer (note the monitor pointed away from the family). Luckily, this ad comes with a coupon for a free chiropractor visit.

Spinnaker Software (1983)

“That’s how your mom and I made you guys.”

Quizagon (1983)

“Whoa…what’s in these brownies, Grandma?”

Home Cataloger (1984)

“When I pour this stuff into the computer, it just kinda pops.”

Ten minutes later, the Edenburger family realized they had been living inside a UFO for the last three years.

Personal Computers of the Early 1980s

First off, a Thanksgiving news alert:  I don’t plan to post on Thursday, November 26 or Friday, November 27.  I’m headed off to visit my in-laws in Detroit, and they have these crazy ideas about people sitting in the same room and enjoying each others’ company.  :)

It’s been a quiet week as the US readies for the holiday.  

Well, not entirely quiet.  The second Twilight flick,  New Moon, premiered.  Names spotted among those turning out for the festivities included designer Rachel Roy brought her 10 year old daughter Ava.  Rachel and husband Damon Dash also have a toddler called Tallulah Ruth.  (via Celebrity Baby Blog)  It’s interesting to see parents who embraced Ava ten years ago, when she was still on the rise, using Tallulah more recently.  Anyone else think that the once-outlandish name that had everyone abuzz when the Moore-Willis clan used it will go mainstream?  And if a search for “baby names Twilight” brought you here, check out this post: Not Just for Vampires Anymore.

In other celeb news, Tiffani Thiessen tells Extra that she and her husband aren’t considering “any freaky names.”  She doesn’t mention whether going through life as Tiffani-Amber colored her view.  We’ll have to wait and see.

On to some real life name-spotting:

• I just returned from Target.  I was buying toddler tights while another mom was trying to persuade her daughter to try on a coat, but the daughter?  Was fleeing to the just-steps-away toy department.  The name the mother was calling?  ”Miracle!  Miracle, come back here!”  Insert your own joke about it-taking-an-act-of-God to distract a 3 y.o. from the toy department here;
• Bewildertrix has spotted Leonidas George.  My baby brother swears Leonidas will be the name of his firstborn son, should that happy event ever come to pass.  She also uncovered an Elisabetta Ivy.  And a Zuma.  (No Gwen Stefani isn’t in New Zealand – he’s Zuma Louis, a non-celeb baby brother for Ava and Remi.)
• For Real Baby Names spotted Dafne.  It may be a valid foreign variant, but to me it is like Jorja/Georgia - this one just looks better as the more familiar Daphne. 

Now for two Language Lessons from that sage font of wisdom, Nancy:

• Hard G vs. Soft G – Sometimes they’re interchangeable – as in Jorja/Georgia – but other times, swapping a J for a G leads to confusion;
• Doubling consonants – Ditto doubling a consonant.  It’s another popular way to make a name “unique,” but it can also cause confusion.

Truly unusual names are always found at Nameberry, and this week’s posts were no exception.  Check out the Lost Boys’ Names of 1880.  Why aren’t more boys named Zeb?  Or Hardy?  Others – including titles like Squire and Commodore – are best left to history.  (I work with a man in his 50s named General.  I don’t get the impression that he thinks much about his name one way or the other.)  For a change, the girls’ list is almost less interesting – maybe because I wouldn’t raise an eyebrow if I met a 2 y.o. called Mahala or Texas. 

Let’s end on a controversial note: the shortcomings of the Baby Name Wizard.  I recently noticed a post on Swistle (a big BNW adherent) that troubled me.  Just a few days earlier, Nancy recounted a similar story on her blog.  

An expectant mother, mom to Sophia, wrote to Swistle about the name Allegra.  She and her husband loved the name Allegra.  Loved the way nicknames Allie and Sophie sounded together.  But she worried about the allergy medication association.

Swistle wrote: “I love the name Allegra—and every time I want to suggest it, I back away because of the allergy medicine. I’m ANGRY at the company that stole it.”

Swistle’s poll was evenly split: 52% no to Allegra; 48% yes.  But here’s the thing: Swistle’s framing of the question – “Is the name Allegra too associated with allergy medication to be used for a baby?” made it pretty clear that she thought Allegra was beyond consideration.  (Swistle is usually so judgment-free that I was really surprised by that.)

The mom herself recently wrote in:

“We ended up naming our daughter Lucy. I love her name, but I regret not being gutsy enough to go with Allegra. Personally, I’d encourage anyone considering the name to go for it. No matter what name you choose some people will like it and others will hate it.”

Lucy is a fine name.  I like it lots.  But how sad that much naming advice often tends to push parents to the middle, rather than embracing the names that we really love. 

I suspect the allergy medication reference is fleeting.  When the blogger at For Real Baby Names spotted a Dexy Adelaide, I mentioned the 80s pop hit “Come On, Eileen” – and sent ForReal running to Google.  Dexy, it appears, no longer means “one-hit wonder responsible for lodging the phrase too-rye-aye in my brain.”  And it hasn’t been that long.  It makes me think Allegra will be free of medication association by the time Allie hits the teenage years, if not sooner.

Thanks for reading!

I’ve seen computers as a tool, a toy and something I’ve totally coveted for close to 25 years. I was shopping for computers back when you HAD to order them in a magazine. You couldn’t get them anywhere else. The idea of a computer store was a sheer novelty.  I was always searching and hoping to find a way to get the next best and biggest computer, the one I thought I always wanted has always been out of my price range and something I would have to wait for.

My first computer was a Commodore 128 (128 for 128 K of RAM memory)which my parents spent $250 for one Christmas. Bar none, the best Christmas gift ever and one that would unknowingly direct me into my current career. I spent the next 6 months on my paper route saving enough money to by myself and 5 1/4′ floppy disk drive. Until then I ran all my programs off a cassette tape drive. Eventually I had enough stuff including a 14.4 kbps modem that I ran a bulletin board on. (1986) Take that, Al Gore who invented the internet!

Since then I’ve spent thousands upgrading and buying new machines. To play the coolest games or to hook up video equipment, make it faster, then get a bigger something or other, then get a smaller something or other. About 8 months ago I started to realize I hadn’t fallen into my pattern of shopping for fun toys when I get bored. In fact those direct emails I’ve been getting from Tigerdirect.com and Apple are really starting to get annoying! Those mailers from Microcenter have been shredded confetti even before I take a peek at them. And now I’m wondering why they’re not being very green by sending anything to me.  I’m sure they know I haven’t been back in a long while, given all of my data on their loyalty program.

Just about anything I really want to do on a computer honestly only takes about 1/3 of the resources of anything that costs less than $700.  I’m almost having a mid-life crisis realizing that either my activities are bordering on the old and boring or maybe technology has just surpassed me. It’s a little scary, since for so long I’ve had an identity as the guy who loved computers for so long… now that nothing special.

And like an ailing Mel Gibson my last words trickle out of my mouth….. “Freeeeeeeeeddooooom!”

Super Zaxxon beziehungsweise ursprünglich nur Zaxxon genannt, ist ein klassisches Arcade-Spiel aus dem Jahre 1982. Der Entwickler Sega schuf mit diesem Spiel eine Art Shoot’em up, welches man mit der Kontrolle eines Raumschiffs meistern soll. Meistern deshalb, weil einem auf dem Flug, wie soll es auch anders sein, zahlreiche Gegner entgegen fliegen, die nur darauf aus sind, dich bzw. dein Raumschiff vom “Himmel” zu holen. Daher bleibt dir nichts anderes übrig, als jene ebenfalls zu beschießen und somit ins Jenseits zu befördern. Umso mehr Gegner man besiegt und je weiter man sich durch die kosmische Basis kämpft, desto mehr Punkte gibt es dafür, was demzufolge eine Highscore-Jagd fördern soll. Schließlich wurde es, wie so viele Spiele aus diesem Zeitalter, auf dem Atari 2600 veröffentlicht, wo das Erzielen von Rekordpunktzahlen an der Tagesordnung und notwendig für’s Geschäft war. Als weitere Startplattform ist der ColecoVision zu nennen.

Das Besondere an Zaxxon war der Einsatz einer isometrischen Perspektive. Mit deren Hilfe konnte eine gewisse räumliche Tiefe erzeugt werden, weshalb man es kurzerhand als quasi-3D-Scroller bezeichnen kann. Nerdig ausgedrückt, wäre das  dann ein Upper-Right-Diagonal-Scroller – jedoch wäre es damit nur halb beschrieben. Es gibt nämlich desweiteren die Möglichkeit, das Raumschiff nach links und rechts, sowie nach oben und unten zu steuern. Dadurch kann man auch Hindernisse, wie etwa Mauern, überfliegen. Das Spielprinzip wurde dabei vom quasi 2D-Vorgänger Scramble kopiert. Um sich davon ein genaueres Bild machen zu können, hier ein Vorschauvideo:

Zaxxon war, vermutlich gerade wegen des revolutionären Spielprinzips, äußerst erfolgreich. Daher folgte noch im gleichen Jahr Super Zaxxon, bei dem es am Ende einen Roboter zu besiegen galt -  es wurde ein Bossgegner hinzugefügt. Außerdem wurde es innerhalb von 2 Jahren, also bis 1984, auf sage und schreibe 13 Plattformen portiert: unter anderem auf den Commodore 64 und das Sega Master System. 1987 erschien der Nachfolger Zaxxon 3-D und ein Klon namens Panther. 8 Jahre später (1995) folgte dann der letzte Teil der Serie für den Sega 32X: Zaxxon Motherbase 2000.

Aber genug der Worte: Spielt es (KLICK) !

Back in early September, Manomio LLC released a Commodore 64 app for the iPhone/iPod Touch. A mere 2 days later, it was pulled by Apple after they found it was possible to run programs via the emulated C64 app. Only C64 programs you understand, but Apple didn’t like it regardless.

However Eurogamer are reporting that the app is finally back, all locked down but with 3 new games included – International Soccer, International Basketball and International Tennis – which takes the game count up to 8. They also mention version 1.2 of the app is on it’s way, along with more games and some freebies including Bruce Lee. Hey, shame there’s no Speccy emulator on the iPhone, or you could play the superior version of Bruce Lee!

The C64 app is available now and will cost you £2.99, which may or may not be value for money depending on your views about emulation.

(Source: Eurogamer)

Confession:  I bought the iPod Touch for this app.  Ok, not really, but I thought about it.  Unfortunately, the C64 app got pulled from the iTunes store for violating Apple’s Terms of Service about a week before I got the iPod Touch.  (Why that happened is a story unto itself.)  Manomio revised the emulator and Apple finally approved the re-release last week.

Premise

The C64 app is a Commodore 64 emulator for the iPhone / iPod Touch.  It plays authentic, licensed reproductions of classic C64 games.  The app currently comes with 8 games built in:  Arctic Shipwreck, Dragons Den, International Basketball, International Soccer, International Tennis, Jack Attack, Jupiter Lander, and Le Mans.  The games are not the first that come to my mind when I think C64 games, except maybe International Soccer, but it’s a nice spread of genres.

Presentation

The graphics used imitate a classic look and feel.  I’m not overly impressed with the rounded screen effect, and really don’t like the fake screen glare they added (you can see it in the upper half of the gaming screens on my screenshots, especially when there’s a dark background).  I hope future version will allow you to turn these on and off per your preference.  You can play games in portrait and landscape modes.

The game audio is  the original SID (Sound Interface Device) sound, and sounded good to me.

Interface

Controlling games is a matter of using the old joystick and fire button combination.  In portrait mode, the game takes up the upper half of the screen and the joystick and fire button take up the bottom, similar to a Nintendo DS.  In landscape mode, the game is fullscreen and the controls are invisibly overlayed on the gameplay screen.  Both seem to work fine, but I haven’t decided which I like better.  The games are not like the type where your character stays in the middle of the screen and your fingers don’t get in the way much when they are positioned over the gameplay screen.  I’m starting to think that it depends on the game.

Freshness

The app is groundbreaking in terms of it being on of the few emulators of a gaming platform that is officially approved by Apple.  Apple would not allow the inclusion of uploading your own games to it (not sure why Frotz is still allowed to).  It works well though and gives me a serious C64 fix.  Hopefully we’ll see other official game platform apps like this, rather than a separate app for each

Value

The app is $4.99, which is not overly expensive.  Manomio LLC has already submitted the first round of downloadable addon games to Apple for approval, which they say will be priced from free to $1.  I wouldn’t be surprised if the price doesn’t go down around the time those are released, probably in December.  Being a Commodore 64 fan from years back, I’m definitely enjoying the C64 app.

Summary

Premise:  Excellent
Presentation:  Decent
Interface:  Good
Freshness:  Superlative
Value:  Good
Overall:  Great app

[svofski] has a friend who is a pixel artist. They really wanted to try out their skills on a c64, but were missing a mouse. The original mouse for the c64 was not only serial, but used a different method of communication than more modern mice. [svofski] built this adapter to translate the ps/2 data to something the c64 can use. The writeup describes the build in detail and even has the PCB and source code available for download.

I only realised that COD 6 and Modern Warfare 2 were the same thing 2 days ago. I guess it shows how much I really know about videogames. The full title must be Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 or something.
I’ve never had a COD game, because my dad doesn’t like FPS games (or any these days) and I’m too young for them. Even though I’ve heard year 7s talking about how far they’d got on the latest one. There are even films I’m not allowed to watch. I can’t watch the Big Bang Theory (even though I like it and we’ve got pages of it on our PVR) and my parents don’t even think of letting me watch something like Heros or Lost or other stuff people watch. My parents don’t like soaps or the X factor but they do watch I’m a celebrity get me out of here. I can’t because it’s on ‘too late’ for me. (My bedtime is supposed to be 9:00) Back on topic, I never get games as soon as they come out either. I always have to wait for Christmas or my birthday. If you ask me, that was a big mistake in parenting, because when I’m older I’ll do it all the time because I’ve been waiting so long to do it.
Another problem is not having the latest consoles. My family has a PS2 and 2 PSP 300s (one for me and one for my brother) We also used to have a Commodore 64 from my Dad’s childhood (or teens or something) which he threw away cos he couldn’t sell it. I used to enjoy playing the odd ancient game on it. Ah well. PS2s will be like that soon too.
I’m not exactly sure what the general topic of this post actually was. I don’t think I’ll change the title though.

I hope my parents don’t read this; I know my grandparents sometimes do, and my friends from school sometimes do. (Especially James. He even comments sometimes) My parents never read this as far as I know.
You know you’re in trouble when your grandparents are more technically advanced than your parents. (My mum mainly. I swear she has technophobia)

Un peu de Commodore pour changer. Un C64 II, une Power Cartridge, et un lecteur 1011 pour Amiga.

Fighting was something that Bruce Lee was good at. It was the very thing he was famous for, so it’s apt that a conversation on the Eurogamer forums about the C64 version of the game would lead to my inspiration to write my first “which version is better” article. A quick warning – I am very much biased in favour of the Spectrum. Old fan boys die hard. I do not promise impartiality, although I shall try my best.

So Bruce Lee on the Spectrum, or Bruce on the Commodore 64 – which is better? Well there’s only one way to find out…

First, a little context. The Bruce Lee game was released in 1984, and was not based on any of his movies in particular. Or if it was, I must have missed that particular film where he fought a sumo wrestler and ninja at the same time as collecting lanterns and avoiding laser death traps. Both the C64 and Spectrum versions are credited to the same 3 guys – code by Ron J. Fortier, graphics by Kelly Day and music by John A. Fitzpatrick. The game was originally released on the Atari 8-computers before being ported over to the C64, with the Spectrum following in the same year.

It’s a great fun game, but very simple in it’s mechanics. Bruce basically has to collect all the lanterns from 20 screens with an evil wizard waiting on the 20^th screen. A ninja with a sword and a green sumo wrestler are looking to stop him. As Bruce you have two moves – a punch and a flying kick. Defeating the ninja or sumo only temporarily stops them as they will respawn. The environment is also dangerous with traps that must be avoided. The two player mode was also worth a laugh with a like-minded friend. You could either take turns as Bruce, or the second player got to control the sumo. Since the sumo could hurt the ninja it meant you could help or hinder Bruce.

The first thing you’ll notice when comparing the games is the graphics. The C64 version looks very much like the Atari version, with a higher resolution reducing the blockiness of it all. The Spectrum version goes it’s own path due to the weaker graphics capabilities, the characters are black and white, with a lot less colour in the environments. This does actually work in favour of the Spectrum in parts, with the Spectrum version being less blocky and the C64 version being a bit too colourful for the game’s own good. When there are so few colours available, things tend to get a bit gaudy. The animation seems pretty much identical, and if there are any differences I haven’t been able to spot them.

C64

Spectrum

Gameplay is essentially the same on both formats. However, the Spectrum version runs faster and as a result feels a lot “smoother” to play. The C64 version can feel almost like the game is taking place underwater, especially with the speed of which Bruce Lee falls. Putting the C64 emulation into NTSC provides a speed boost, although it still doesn’t quite match the flow of the Spectrum version. Of course, if you’re one of those freaky people who still play using the original machines you’re not going to be able to do that.

Strangely on the C64 version, the sumo loses his ability to climb ladders, and the ninja doesn’t climb in either version, so if you manage to get them trapped at the bottom of the screen you can go about your business at the top without issue. However it would seem on the Spectrum the enemies are not as keen to attack, get near the C64 bad guys and you’re more likely to get a good shoeing. What is weird is that the climbing animation is definitely in the game on both versions for both characters, as you’ll see it when they go onto the “lift” areas. A coding issue then I would assume.

The sound of both versions is certainly nothing to celebrate. The C64 obviously holds the advantage, but it’s not a good showcase of the SID sound chip. In fact, quite the opposite – I find the music in both to be quite painful. Thank goodness it’s saved for the title screen. Sound effects only during the game itself, and again the C64 comes out on top with a higher quality of sound effect compared to the Speccy’s sparce blips and bleeps.

C64

Spectrum

No matter which version you choose, you’re looking at a game that’s still a lot of fun to play. It doesn’t fall within the 8-bit trap of being insanely difficult, and has some good and imaginative level design. I would say the Spectrum version edges it due to the speed issues on the C64 but there’s definitely an argument there for the C64.

These days if you want to play Bruce Lee, and your C64/Spectrum has gone the same way as my goldfish (no, not down the loo) then you’re looking at going down the emulation route. World Of Spectrum and Lemon 64 are excellent resources as ever, but of course emulation can be a legally grey area. There is a rather fantastic looking remake available as well called Ultimate Bruce Lee if you wish to keep a completely clear conscience. You good Christian you.

Which ever version you choose – don’t forget to make “comedy” Bruce Lee sound effects yourself… WHA-TAAAAAA!

Piata e dominata de 3 “mari”: Sony cu PlayStation, Nintendo cu Wii si Microsoft cu Xbox, fiecare cu avantaje si dezavantaje dar oricum la distanta mare de ceilalti producatori, unii cu istorie (Atari, Commodore, SEGA, Nokia), altii mai noi (Apple ameninta piata cu facilitatile de gaming ale iPhone si iPod Touch).

Sa facem si o distinctie intre tipurile de console: pe de o parte sunt PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii – console “baza” care comunica cu controllerele aferente; pe de alta parte sunt PlayStation Portable, Nintendo DS, console “de buzunar” numite si handheld-uri, usor de transportat si utilizat in practic orice mediu.

Nintendo este singurul pana acum care a reusit sa inglobeze in consolele si controllerele sale senzori de miscare ce fac experienta de gaming aproape reala, fapt care i-a atras o multime de cumparatori si implicit venituri, facand din compania japoneza liderul actual al pietei. Rivalii Sony si Microsoft se confrunta inca cu problema existenta de la aparitia controllerelor, aceea ca utilizatorii trebuie sa invete sa le foloseasca, insa au alte avantaje pe care le ofera utilizatorilor, functionalitati de redare muzica, filme, conectare la Internet si chiar socializare. Insa viitorul suna bine si pentru acestia de vreme ce tehnologia fiind disponibila, e o chestiune de timp pana la integrarea ei in noile modele de console, ba mai mult, este in testare o tehnologie bazata pe camere 3D. Vom vedea..

In ceea ce priveste amenintarea Apple, la trei luni de la lansare App Store avea 1500 jocuri pentru iPhone pe cand numarul de jocuri disponibile pentru PlayStation Portable si Nintendo DS era de 600, respectiv 300. Tot la capitolul noi intrati in piata se gaseste.. National Geographic care a infiintat o divizie specializata (National Geographic Games) care va realiza jocuri pentru consolele de mai sus dar si pentru telefoane mobile si Internet. Bineinteles, jocurile vor avea teme specifice National Geographic, cu accent pe cunoasterea si protejarea planetei.
