Re: Ancient DOS Games Webshow

SimCity 3000 is also my favourite because it's a lot easier to get into despite its complexities and because the landscape doesn't play nearly as huge a factor in building a functioning city as it did in SC2K. I also enjoy the SNES SimCity because it's very well polished and has a lot of extra …

In other news, my ultimatum is working out; The music update is once again almost ready to go! Just need to reconvert a few tunes to MP3 again after making minor alterations and copy-paste a bunch of stuff into some HTML pages, one page for the main index, one page for comparison tunes which …

Proportionate to that. ;) Plus, YouTube's statistics are probably skewed a bit to be more impressive by counting absolutely anyone with monetized content, even if they only get 20 hits a week. Still, my point there was that because Google is such a massive company it shouldn't be hard to create a …

You wouldn't have to: 1. Hire a team of people who's job it is to look after monetization situations. 2. Each time a particular channel exceeds a certain threshold of monetized views (such as the first 100,000 views then all increments of 5,000,000 following), a member of this team is randomly …

YouTube's monetization system is clearly targeting against specific words in video titles and descriptions because it just tagged BOTH of my filler videos about DOSBox for additional review before they were even partially uploaded, which means it's 99% likely they won't get monetized. Which isn't …

Hey, a complement is a complement, regardless of if it sounds like it has 571 hidden meanings. ;D That, or he's just glad I don't say "aboot" or "eh?" every ten seconds. (Which is a stereotype anyways and something you very rarely hear in urban areas. I don't actually know anyone personally who says …

Blip and Android have never behaved well together. Even their latest App solution through Google Play is getting mixed reviews. If Blip has any major failing as a video hosting service, thier Android support is probably it. :P I know some people would rather I switch everything over to YouTube, but …

Ancient DOS Games Episode 120 - Worms is online! And by some strange coincidence, GOG has Team 17 stuff on sale this weekend! I swear that was completely unintentional but very good timing! :D Actually, truth be told, while I played the heck out of the shareware version of Worms as a kid, I only …

You can lock up Lego Racers on the N64 by attempting to pause the game immediately after crossing the finish line to end a race. The Game Genie code "APPLES" will cause Super Mario Bros. on the NES to freeze whenever you try to hit a block from underneath. If you put a Hercules graphics card into a …

I was adamant that the serial mouse was as gimmicky as the analogue joystick and that no one in their right mind would ever end up using it. Even in Windows 3.1 you could quite happily navigate through keyboard shortcuts such as CTRL TAB, ALT TAB, and the obligatory cursor and enter keys. I'm …

That said, I hate how you play. surrounding a stadium with light commercial zone? WHY? So that people like you would say stuff like that. ;D Actually, I change things up every time I play. Placing light zones around 4x4 structures centred within 6x6 areas was an idea I never had before and decided …

Ancient DOS Games Episode 119 - SimCity 2000 is online! :) Sorry it's a few hours later than usual. After breaking my voice temporarily and having a nasty coughing fit during the voice recording I kinda didn't really feel like working on the episode much for the rest of the night, so I got all of my …

...don't eat spicy foods just an hour or two before doing heavy voice-work. The same bodily functions that result in runny noses and such can send you into coughing fits and break your voice quality very quickly. As such, the last 20% of my voiceover for the next ADG tomorrow doesn't sound quite the …

Re: The Art of Map Making in Dos Games

I do still map stuff by hand on occasion, though not often. The last time was when playing Neutopia for the TG-16 on my Wii. Other maps I've drawn up by hand while playing include the original Metroid, The Legend of Zelda, and the last level in Skate or Die 2, since it's a freakin' 3-dimensional …

My first real job was actually a programming position with Neufeld Learning Systems, an educational software company primarily producing math software. That lasted two years and ended for a variety of reasons. My second real job was calling businesses all day long and asking them to take 20-minute …

Ancient DOS Games Episode 118 - Worthy Opponent is online, despite the threat of thunderstorms! :D This was an interesting episode to put together. Firstly, I absolutely needed to get a friend to help since it's the first game I've covered that's multiplayer ONLY. Secondly, it gave me an opportunity …

I've thought about trying out GrafX2, but there's something about the interface that just urks me for some reason that I've never been able to quite put my finger on. Being unable to use custom fonts with DP2E was probably the major sticking point for me and the only major reason why I was ever …
