Retro Diary #71

On Sunday, I set the PS2 back up for my brother, who decided to play through Tony Hawk’s Underground multiple times to unlock all of the decks. He isn’t too happy about having to do it, but he’s doing it anyway, he’s dedicated, I’ll give him that! On Monday, my brother started to create his […] ...To receive more of these posts, you should follow my new blog, over at wordpress, the link is: http://ift.tt/2sDnoJD

This is why I’m losing interest in video games…

It’s things that this that really tick me off! I believe it’s the consumers right to mod what they buy. As long as they don’t resell it. (Even then, I’d say a very limited number of copies is still okay) However, that would be me caring for the consumers, and proposing that I don’t have […] ...To receive more of these posts, you should follow my new blog, over at wordpress, the link is: http://ift.tt/2sdgnyI

Retro Diary #70

Last Sunday, I got Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 (mostly) working on my PC, and I got it working using the Cumulative patch, which makes the gtame widescreen, unloicks the framerate, and makes other improvements. ….and wow! Playing the game at 60+ frames per second makes a huge difference! It’s much more fun and fluid now!

The Collective Working to Save VHS Tapes Before They Decay | Mental Floss

This article is a hard read, it’s sad to know that VHS tapes, something that is a big part of many lives, won’t be usable any more after a couple of decades. Though on the bright side, the article mentions that digital doesn’t last forever, either. As someone who hates digital, that made me happy.

Retro Diary #69 – Tony Hawk’s Racist Wasteland

On Monday, me, my sister and littlest brother went to M&Ds, which is a theme park in Scotland. (and the only one…) There, they had plenty of arcade machines, from Pacman to Flappy Bird. The first game I played was some street racing game (which is rare(!)) made by Namco, but I can’t for the […] ...To receive more of these posts, you should follow my new blog, over at wordpress, the link is: http://ift.tt/2s5RTbu

“N64 isn’t dead yet! THPS 3 is coming out”

I stumbled across something midly interesting. This is an old thread on IGN forums from 2002 discussing the announcement of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 on the Nintendo 64, which would then turn out to be the final game on that console! I feel like an architect discovering ancient ruins or like I stepped into […] ...To receive more of these posts, you should follow my new blog, over at wordpress, the link is: http://ift.tt/2so1zeI
