Hehe, thanks guys! Ben, isn't Australia MSX-territory or did Commodore sell their stuff too? Anyway I'd love to see any upcoming hardware hacks!
@Sebastian: a VCR playing avi-files,now that would be rad! I hope you get to finish it, already loved your Blüm-Board 


About the mouse. For those mousebuttons you simply need long "click-ways", new microswitches just felt wrong. But you're right Victor, the old switches are indeed a bit error-prone.
I hope none of you are making games with a mandatory mouse wheel

Hey guys,

I recently finished a hardware project because I felt the need of an HTPC/mediacenter/more-tech-in-livingroom (besides hardware projects don't cause eyestrain).

So anyway, I put a recent atom board into a C16, put an optical sensor into an amiga mouse and also added dvd-drive to a (unfortunately rare) 1551 floppy.
Playing games is awesome on this machine - especially on a crt.
At first I wanted record a small video with this machine playing Limey Lizard. But well - dx5 doesn't work too well with the embedded graphics and I somehow forgot about dx9, so these pics a currently I have to show around.




But what do you think? I guess this can be seen as outrage, especially if you really love the former machine. On the other hand - if you still have a vintage machine around, do you still use it? I bet with the upcoming 40$ Raspberry PI, more people will consider hacking their old stuff. And with it, more vintage hardware will cease to exist in it's original form.

Anyway, I'm happy to have a keyboard-computer around and my childhood computer was a TI99/4a, so my conscience is clear 
How about you? Awesome or awful?

Alright, done
2 more on the list!

Hey, alles Gute zum Geburtstag Björn!
All the best

Hey, it's about time to renew my interest, those dates are fine with us too.
I just need to find out what else to do in the US, otherwise a transatlantic flight for one week might be a bit silly

Well, I just blocked the last 4 weeks of August and simply keep my thumbs pressed that it will happen around that date. As for the location: as long as it features water in any form (like pool, beach or both) it's fine for me.

Spoiler

Mittens in the caribibbian would also be blast.

Wait, when was that ever a rule?

Last year a few people were concerned that most seats would be blocked by non-AGS crowd, because everyone wanted to bring their bf/gf/wife/husband etc. But I'm glad to hear that it's not an issue this year

Hooray, here's another happy customer (now I just need to find some time to play those). Anyway congrats on completing the bake sale!
You're awesome 

I'd love to attend too! I hope we can finalize the date soon, so flights are still affordable.

My votes are for the Villa Bellagio and/or the Titan boats


PS: Is this rule still valid "only game creators wanted"?
If so, I'll have to hurry to convince my wife to create an hour game, since I certainly can't spend this year's vacation all on my own.


PPS: yaay, mittens!

Oh, after reading Steve Jobs New biography, please do not port to IPhone. I do not want another feather in apples cap.

Have you bought the biography, my feathered friend ?

First of all: have they finally released an Android port of Allegro? This is too good to be true

Unfortunately I'm also stuck with that white screen. (Moto Defy on Cyanogen7 Android 2.3.5)

*DING* *DING* *DING*

* abstauber passes the buck to Bill

 :'( :'(

no Starman, sorry.

Yup, that's Bridges with one hell of a haircut

Yay!

John Carpenter’s Escape from New York?

Happy Birthday 403neB

Yay, we have a winner.
I shall pass the token to you

Looks like Yoda and ET had a baby.

@Ponch:
Yeah that movie is awesome, it has robots and ghosts and explosions and such. Rotten Tomatoes on the other hand hates it 

I suppose, if I rewatch it now, I might be a bit bored too, but I loved it as a kid.

Lastestest hint  8)

Happy Birthday AGD2! Hope you have a good one!
