More Space Invaders Please

Thai — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 20:07:45 +0000

Sick of seeing Space Invaders everywhere, yet? The art direction of the video is fantastic and it could seriously pass as a commercial.

The funny thing about the cabinet art on the arcade machine is that the monster never appears in the game. Just saying.

World’s Biggest Pac-man

The World Biggest Pac-man lets you edit your own maze in one hour and then adds it to a gigantic global map of mazes where other people can play your design. It’s made for IE9 but I used Chrome and it seems to run fine. Check out the maze I created that took me about 59 minutes to make. They’re serious about that time limit so you can’t re-edit. Good luck!

Found this on Flickr and Ryan Coleman’s “The Pit” is just amazing. You can see Mario crawling towards the end. It’s so dramatic.

Gametap’s Unlimited Access to Games

I’m a game junkie. My wife knows it and I’ve been one since I’ve learned to crawl. The thing is that I’m on a budget and I want to test out PC games on my laptop with limited resources. Unlike a gaming consoles, the drawback to owning a desktop is you have to adjust settings when you want to play. You really don’t know if your computer is powerful enough to do that. So, one drunken night, I stumbled on to Gametap.com. For as little as 10 bucks a month, you have access to thousands of games. Mostly old games and some recent ones. It gave me a chance to play games that I never would’ve played. You can even play old school games in the browser while you download big ass PC games in your queue.

I wish you can play against other people online with the browser games. They also release games every week but don’t expect the latest games. Most of them are games that publishers want to expose on the site. For such a small amount a month, it’s worth trying games you weren’t sure about buying but now you have the opportunity to.

Quick Review on Toshiba’s Satellite Laptop

Thai — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 19:52:04 +0000

It’s been a little over a month since I got my Toshiba Satellite A665 with Intel’s i3 chip processor. I got this one because of the price range and I also wanted to see the new CPU do some heavy lifting. What makes this chip so wonderful is that it’s able to do multi-threading and dual core multi-processing. All that mean is your computer knows how to process at a faster rate because it has more room to do it. If you open up your Windows Task Manager, you’ll see four processes going. In a nutshell, you can do more stuff. Since my laptop doesn’t come with a graphics card, the CPU actually takes care of all the pretty graphics and sometimes in HD with certain games. The laptop dedicates about 2 gigs of RAM to accomplish that.

So, how did it all hold up with intense games? Well, you have to play most games in a lower setting and depending on how old the game is, you can set it to high. For instance, Counter Strike, ran really nice on high to medium. On the other hand, Street Fighter 4, barely made the cut but a game like Fry Cry 2 ran fairly stable without adjusting the settings. If you want a piece of the latest chipset, without hurting your budget then this laptop is for you.

I had a bit of an issue and Toshiba’s customer service was beyond stellar helping me fix it.

Super Mario’s 1-Up Pixelblocks Art

I saw Pixelblocks pieces on display at Puzzle Zoo and I had to buy a box of my own. I bought the 875 block set which consist of 8 colors. It comes with an idea manual that will give you some inspiration to make all sorts of things in 2d or 3d. You can combine the blocks by either sliding or stacking it on each other. I wanted to make something super simple and nothing complex so I can get a feel for the medium.
