How about Deep Ascii.
It's the porn movie "Deep Throat" converted via computer into ascii. Its kind of neat to watch, even though the screen is completely filled with characters the detail can be pretty good at times.
Lets just hope it doesn't block that winning touchdown pass at the superbowl. Seriously though.. how about outdoor sporting events in rugged terrain.
Or maybe to survey the damage at a post nuclear accident or some kind of toxic gas filled area.
Then again you could allways fit it with a laser and paint targets for cruise missiles.
I found an interview on the pinfalls website with Maxx Payne.
He copped it as a play on the name Max Headroom after seeing a TV commercial.
Regardless of the lawsuit, which I think is silly. This interview is pretty good... especially the things he has to say about industry and differences between the US and Japan.

The true implications are that I live across the street from PGE park and IF my friend's laptop can pull a signal from my apt., guess who's gonna invest in a new tranceiver for his workstation?
I wonder if they will count the costs of the commercials in the money they are loosing every year to piracy...
You can be certain they're counting that and the hidden cost of hosting multiple "consultation sessions" in the Bahamas with their stripper/secretaries.
Well it plays loops that you arrange... so youd still need to at least record loops from these synths first. When you eventually need new loops or come up with a cool sound idea you'll have to buy back those synths at inflated prices as their value will have appreciated.
The portable version of the Turbo Grafx 16... The Turbo Express had a "Turbo Vision" TV tuner addon also. I knew a kid that had one... from what I recall, it was ridiculously expensive and could eat up a brand new set of batteries in about 4 hours.
Turbo Vision
Just as a side note, the early 90s punk band 7 Seconds did a great cover of "99 Red Ballons". Which was then covered by thousands of garage bands across the US and still played at shows from time to time. Who woulda thought it would become a punk classic?

Tulip to Relaunch C64

I actually have a box of sid chips from back when I repaired C64's on the side. I posted a message on hardsid bulletin boards - but I got nothing but cheap offers (I'll take all of them for free etc). Maybe get rid of them on ebay?
Haha... halfway through reading your post I was allready composing an email in my head to beg couple chips from you.
Yeah Ebay would be good... the guys that make the SIDStation are endind production cause they cant get chips too...
Well, now that you mention it, it might have been the 3rd grade cause thats when my mom became the computer teacher at my elementary school (we had Apple ][es). I'm not professing to be a computer genius or anything mind you... but I did grow up with great admiration for technology.
Hehehe... the first BASIC program I ever typed out was at my friend's house on his C64 back in the 2nd grade. It made a purple ball bounce down a red staircase. It took 2 hours to type that all in... and you know what? I loved it!

The custom synth chip made for the C64 is in short supply, in fact from what I understand there arent any bulk ones left.
It's the basis of some pretty neat modern synth projects including the SidStation, and the amazing DIY project The MIDIbox Sid.
You might wanna check out this interview with Bob Yannes the designer of the SID chip.
if this started a parental outcry of South Park porportions and caused the downfall of Sega, ESPN and console gaming in general?
Hmmm... then we'd be left with PCs, MSNBC and Ultimate Frisbee... conspiracy?
"Sales of GameCube software fell short in North America and Europe last year, and I believe that's due to the popularity of violent games on other consoles. The culture of Japan is much different and less accepting of such titles. Our target market is the entire world, so it's very difficult to develop software that appeals to everyone."
Its kinda funny how Japan has cornered the market on demon rape sex games and videos. Nintendo should port some of those.
A friend of mine was hired as project manager for a 100k+ seat rollout from OS/2 to WinXP... for whatever reason they decided to stick with OS/2.
I can't remember what the reason was why they kept it. I've seen many gas stations running OS/2 Warp as well.
Interesting ideas... though I dont think Noah had a tranq gun... which makes me wonder...
Just how did he round up all those animals, load them up into an ark and then get them to behave and not eat each other? Musta had a lotta food... and mop buckets and shovels... imagine the smell too. ewwwwww. Maybe he coulda left the roaches behind though.

Yeah, I heard it was gonna be repackaged as "Trash Chutes".

I thought it was a private beta put people were leaking it out on the P2P networks.

Well, if he is a Sega beta tester wouldn't he have a Sega email address?
I hope this game is based on Shadowrun. The Sega Genesis version was fun, but how about s MMORPG?
How about designer brand shoes and clothing.
These are console cheats anyway... no one is hacking a binary. They're manipulating the memory space of the console.
