Story Time!

Okay, this one's not related to gaming in any way, but I felt like sharing, so here it goes!

I was shopping on Friday so I don't have to starve on the weekend (my fridge was basically empty). I usually buy cheap frozen pizzas, because I really like them. While was standing in front of the cheap part of the freezer isle a bro and his girlfriend came into the isle.

The guy stopped at the normal priced stuff (like Dr. Oetker and Wagner) and just said: "Mhmh... BBQ chicken." He was real enthusiastic, you could almost see his mouth watering. He really wanted that BBQ chicken frozen pizza. But in a split second his girlfriend reacted. She told him "No" and pulled him away.

This is when our eyes met. We both know what we were thinking. Bro got robbed of his BBQ chicken pizza. It was a real bro-to-bro moment. You could feel his pain, like his eyes were saying: "Damn, only vegetables for me."

So guess who's eating BBQ chicken pizza right now?

Making a game for the PlayStation 2

Actually, not really for the PS2 - not natively at least. Rather making a game for YaBasic which can be played on the PS2. I started my geek life when I was 11 years old and got my first computer (486). A few years later I found some games written in QBasic on a gaming magazine's CD. That was the first time I came in contact with programming. I didn't understand much back then, because I wasn't taught before and I didn't speak any English (it's my 3rd language...) so I was just trying to figure out how the games worked by modifying stuff. These games were simple text adventures, where you had to make choices and the game would progress that way. There were no commands like "go left" or "pick up". The game presented you all the options and you had to input the number of the option you chose. And instead of "if-else" there were GOTOs everywhere. This was how I made my first game, a multiple-choice quiz with 10 questions. Since I didn...

Copyright needs to die

In latest gaming news: Mafia was released on GOG! Yay! That's great news, because it means that you can get the game DRM-free and guaranteed to work with your Win7 or Win10 installation! (And it's a real classic.) But wait! What's that? You're sitting in a car. Waiting for that famous tune everybody associates with Mafia . You don't know the title or the artist, but you immediately know that song. It plays on the radio. At least: it used to play on the radio. It's silent now. The radio is broken. No sound. Enjoy the view while driving... The game released on GOG all right. Unfortunately due to copywrong it was released without it's original soundtrack. No licensed music. No Django Reinhardt playing Belleville (that's the song you were looking for ;)). All this because copyshit still "protects" music (more like "extorts" people) after over 75 years! Yes, Belleville was first released in 1942. I mean I would get it if co...

Nintendo: Hey, listen!

This is a plea for Nintendo, I hope that somebody there will read it. A few days ago you announced the next "Mini" console in your attempt to make even more money of some 25+ year old games, released for the hundredth time. Please. Stop. Or at the very least change your business practices. I hope that I speak for a majority in the gaming community, when I say that we've just about had enough of yet another Nintendo console (or accessory...) which won't be available at launch because you simply can't (or won't?) make enough. We've had enough of the scalpers who pre-order all stock before we even get a chance to look the device up. Enough of the scalpers who then continue to sell those consoles on eBay for double or triple the price. Isn't it bad for your business? Let's talk about a hypothetical scenario: you could sell 1 million of the SNES Mini. But you produce only 500k. That makes 500k of your potential fans/customers angry, because...
